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.

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	0.26	16.76
Recency	15 October 2008	27 May 2019
Chip lithography	65 nm	12 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	12 Watt	50 Watt

GeForce 9400M has 316.7% lower power consumption.

Quadro T1000, on the other hand, has a 6346.2% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 10 years, and a 441.7% more advanced lithography process.

The Quadro T1000 is our recommended choice as it beats the GeForce 9400M in performance tests.

Be aware that GeForce 9400M is a notebook card while Quadro T1000 is a workstation one.
