RTX A5500 Laptop GPU: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

The NVIDIA RTX A5500 Laptop GPU is the top of the 2021 Ampere professional stack in this catalog — 10240 cores, 16GB of GDDR6 and 34 teraflops of rated compute inside a 165W envelope. This guide covers its 23 benchmarked games at 1080p (16 with medium-preset data) and the four catalog machines that carry it.

Where the RTX A5500 Laptop GPU sits in 2026

A catalog score of 74.9 ranks it 23rd of 341 — the top seven percent. The neighborhood is elite: the Radeon RX 6800M (75.1), GeForce RTX 2080 (75) and RTX 4090 (75) above; the GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop (74.6), RTX 3000 Ada Laptop (73.7) and RTX A5000 Laptop (73.5) below. Scoring within a fraction of a point of a desktop RTX 4090 record and ahead of a 4070 Laptop is the honest measure of this card's standing four years on.

What the chip brings

Ampere architecture on 8nm: 10240 CUDA cores rated at 34.1 teraflops — the largest core count on any professional record in this batch — with 16GB of GDDR6, RT and tensor cores, CUDA and DLSS flagged, Resizable BAR supported, all inside a 165W envelope. Public benchmarks: PassMark 21192 with GeekBench Vulkan 106543 and OpenCL 125201, the highest OpenCL figure on any page in this batch.

FPS in games at 1080p

At 1080p the card is simply unconstrained: Metro Exodus at 190 fps on high (235 on medium), Hitman 3 180 (187), The Witcher 3 169, GTA V 166, F1 22 at 163 (188), DOTA 2 Reborn 162, PUBG at the 140 cap, Gears Tactics 139 (190), Guardians of the Galaxy 137, Dirt 5 115 (130), Horizon Zero Dawn 111 (130), Tiny Tina's Wonderlands 110 (159) and God of War 106 (120) — with the esports pair at its 240 ceiling. Note that Guardians of the Galaxy's medium row sits below its high row in the source data; the high-preset figure is the one to trust. Every demanding title clears 100 fps at high — this table is a demonstration, not a test.

Laptops that carry it

Four listings match, all 2022 flagship workstations: the Dell Precision 7670 at $652, Precision 7770 at $1739, HP ZBook Fury 16 G9 at $1827 and ThinkPad P1 Gen 5 at $901. The price spread tells the used-market story — same GPU generation, from $652 to $1827 depending on configuration and condition. Fleet medians (best-GPU 82.8 — above this chip, reflecting machines configured with even stronger options; gaming index 76; USComp 73.5) confirm these are top-tier platforms throughout.

Bottom line

The A5500 Laptop is a buy-the-platform-not-the-benchmark card: any of its four host machines is a professional flagship, and the GPU inside delivers everything a 2026 workload can ask at 1080p — with headroom for 1440p, ray tracing and DLSS on top. The interesting entry is the Precision 7670 at $652: flagship Ampere professional graphics at mid-tier used pricing. For CUDA compute, viewport work or simply a no-compromises gaming-capable workstation, this record ranks among the strongest value plays the catalog's professional tier can offer.
