Synthetic benchmark performance
Non-gaming benchmark results comparison. The combined score is measured on a 0-100 point scale.
Combined synthetic benchmark score
This is our combined benchmark 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. 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.
GeekBench 5 OpenCL
Geekbench 5 is a widespread graphics card benchmark combined from 11 different test scenarios. All these scenarios rely on direct usage of GPU's processing power, no 3D rendering is involved. This variation uses OpenCL API by Khronos Group.

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 | 1.23 | 1.18 |
| Recency | 1 April 2013 | 17 March 2014 |
| Maximum RAM amount | 2 GB | 1 GB |
| Power consumption (TDP) | 33 Watt | 15 Watt |
GeForce 710A has a 4.2% higher aggregate performance score, and a 100% higher maximum VRAM amount.
GeForce 800M, on the other hand, has an age advantage of 11 months, and 120% lower power consumption.
Given the minimal performance differences, no clear winner can be declared between GeForce 710A and GeForce 800M.
