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.

3DMark Fire Strike Graphics

Fire Strike is a DirectX 11 benchmark for gaming PCs. It features two separate tests displaying a fight between a humanoid and a fiery creature made of lava. Using 1920x1080 resolution, Fire Strike shows off some realistic graphics and is quite taxing on hardware.

Pros & cons summary

Performance score	20.76	19.82
Recency	23 May 2013	6 May 2021
Maximum RAM amount	3 GB	4 GB
Chip lithography	28 nm	12 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	250 Watt	50 Watt

GTX 780 has a 4.7% higher aggregate performance score.

T1000, on the other hand, has an age advantage of 7 years, a 33.3% higher maximum VRAM amount, a 133.3% more advanced lithography process, and 400% lower power consumption.

Given the minimal performance differences, no clear winner can be declared between GeForce GTX 780 and T1000.

Be aware that GeForce GTX 780 is a desktop card while T1000 is a workstation one.
