T550 Laptop GPU: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

The T550 Laptop GPU is NVIDIA's entry-level Turing professional chip from 2020 — a 23 W part for portable workstations. This catalog holds two records of it (this one and a "T550 (Laptop)" entry with the same table and hosts but a different composite score). 16 games are benchmarked at 1080p, and five catalog models match.

Where the T550 sits in 2026

The composite score of 47.5 ranks #133 of 341 — among the Radeon RX 6600S (48.4), Radeon 680M integrated (47.6), Quadro T2000 Max-Q (47.6), T600 Laptop (46.9), Apple M1 Max (46.5) and the GTX 1060 laptop record (46.4). In other words: entry pro silicon matching a strong modern integrated GPU and the classic Pascal mainstream chip. The sibling T550 record lands further down at #161 on identical game data — a record-level scoring artifact worth knowing when you see the two pages.

What the chip brings

The record lists 4 GB of GDDR6, 1,024 cores, a 23 W envelope, a 12 nm Turing process and 3.4 TFLOPS. Public entries: PassMark 4,728, Time Spy 1,928, Fire Strike 4,890, GeekBench Vulkan 31,367 and OpenCL 35,192. CUDA is supported; there is no DLSS on this tier of Turing.

FPS in games at 1080p

At the high preset the table splits cleanly: CS:GO, Overwatch, GTA V and PUBG at 140–240 on the legacy end; Valorant at 100, Dota 2 at 92 and Fortnite at 65 in the middle; then Counter-Strike 2 at 60, Battlefield 5 at 50, Forza Horizon 4 at 45, Far Cry 5 at 41, The Witcher 3 at 40, Forza Horizon 5 at 35, Cyberpunk 2077 at 24 and Resident Evil 4 Remake and Metro Exodus at 21. Light esports yes; modern heavy titles need lowered settings.

Laptops that carry it

Five hosts, all 2022 entry workstations: Dell Precision 3570 ($536) and 3470 ($901), HP ZBook FireFly 16 G9 ($1,006) and Firefly 14 G9 ($901), and Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 3 ($901). A uniform fleet — thin 14/16-inch certified machines where the T550's 23 W envelope is the point, not a limitation.

Bottom line

The T550 is a fleet chip: certified drivers, sipping power, and exactly the gaming you would expect from 23 watts — strong in Valorant and Dota 2, honest 21–35 FPS in the heaviest titles at 1080p high. At the $536–$901 prices in the roster it buys a solid portable workstation; buy it for the work features, treat the gaming as a bonus. For gaming-first budgets, the same money reaches Pascal/Polaris dedicated chips with stronger tables.
