Synthetic benchmark performance
Non-gaming benchmark performance comparison. The combined score is measured on a 0-100 point scale.
Combined synthetic benchmark score
This is our combined benchmark performance score. We are regularly improving our combining algorithms, but if you find some perceived inconsistencies, feel free to speak up in comments section, we usually fix problems quickly.
Passmark
This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark, part of Passmark PerformanceTest suite. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various types of load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.
Gaming performance
Let's see how good the compared graphics cards are for gaming. Particular gaming benchmark results are measured in FPS.
Pros & cons summary
| Performance score | 8.31 | 8.10 |
| Recency | 1 February 2016 | 16 April 2024 |
| Maximum RAM amount | 8 GB | 4 GB |
| Chip lithography | 28 nm | 8 nm |
| Power consumption (TDP) | 150 Watt | 50 Watt |
FirePro S7150 has a 2.6% higher aggregate performance score, and a 100% higher maximum VRAM amount.
RTX A400, on the other hand, has an age advantage of 8 years, a 250% more advanced lithography process, and 200% lower power consumption.
Given the minimal performance differences, no clear winner can be declared between FirePro S7150 and RTX A400.
Be aware that FirePro S7150 is a workstation graphics card while RTX A400 is a desktop one.
