I have found passmark to be excellence in predicting real-world performance for both GPUs and CPUs.
I believe that it is because the game FPS benchmarks are testing things other than just pure GPU performance -- which is okay if you care about those specific games, but it then isn't an indicator of GPU performance. In many games the GeForce 760 doubles the Iris 580 performance as it does in the PassMark ratings:

The issue with these benchmarks is that they all have different CPUs, different memory speeds, buses, etc. It is very much not apples-to-apples.
- dogma1138 10y agoBenchmark points are meaningless you can have a card which scored 3000 and a card which scores 1500 but both of them won't give you playable framerates in games. If you are looking for game performances don't bother looking at synthetic benchmarks. Same goes for compute performance look at real world benchmarks the rest is meaningless. You should also consider that benchmarks are the most optimized software for all vendors which adds another layer of illusion on top.
