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.

Pros & cons summary

Performance score	1.58	1.73
Recency	5 January 2012	26 August 2013
Chip lithography	40 nm	28 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	60 Watt	33 Watt

GT 740A has a 9.5% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 1 year, a 42.9% more advanced lithography process, and 81.8% lower power consumption.

Given the minimal performance differences, no clear winner can be declared between Radeon HD 7570 and GeForce GT 740A.

Be aware that Radeon HD 7570 is a desktop card while GeForce GT 740A is a notebook one.
