UHD Graphics 620: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

The UHD Graphics 620 was the default integrated GPU of the 2017-2020 business laptop generation — the graphics half of nearly every Latitude, ThinkPad and Aspire of that era. This guide covers its 16 benchmarked games at 1080p on the high preset and the 163 catalog listings matched to it.

Where the UHD Graphics 620 sits in 2026

A catalog score of 6.8 ranks it 262nd of 341 — the bottom quarter. The neighbors: the MX110 (7.4), Quadro K3100M (7.3) and Iris Graphics 6100 (6.9) above; the Quadro M500M (6.8), UHD P630 (6.6) and Iris Pro (6.6) below. Ranking alongside 2012-2015 entry cards is the honest fate of a 24-EU iGPU against a modern benchmark suite.

What the chip brings

Kaby Lake Refresh GT2 silicon on 14nm: 24 execution units, up to 1150MHz, system-shared LPDDR3/DDR4 memory, 15W envelope. Public benchmarks: PassMark 1030, Time Spy 380, Fire Strike 1168, compute at 4981 (Vulkan) and 4592 (OpenCL). Display, video and desktop work were the design targets; the game table reflects that.

FPS in games at 1080p

At the high preset: legacy capped titles at 240/140, Valorant at 40, Fortnite at 22, DOTA 2 at 20, Counter-Strike 2 at 17, Forza Horizon 4 at 12. Then the single digits take over: Battlefield 5 at 8, Far Cry 5 and Cyberpunk 2077 at 6, Forza Horizon 5 at 6, The Witcher 3 at 6, the Resident Evil 4 remake at 2 and Metro Exodus at 4 fps. The playable set is light esports on medium settings at best.

Laptops that carry it

The 163-listing pool is the business fleet of 2017-2025: Acer's TravelMate P2 at $1144 and Aspire 5/Spin 5 models, the 2020 ThinkPad T14 at $331, Dell Latitude 5420/9410/5511 at $340-422, Precision 3550/7750 workstations, Vostro 7500, and the XPS 15 9500 at $576. Note the pool medians — best-GPU score 54.3 against this chip's 6.8, gaming index 48 — because most of these machines shipped with optional discrete GPUs alongside the 620. The iGPU is the baseline half of those pairs; the medians reflect the machines' stronger options, not this chip.

Bottom line

The UHD 620 is the archetypal office iGPU: flawless for desktop work, viable for old esports, out of its depth elsewhere. Its huge host pool means plenty of cheap, well-built business machines carry it — and many of those have a discrete GPU in the next option row up. For buyers, the lesson is to check the GPU row of each listing: the 620 alone means office machine; paired with a dGPU, it is simply the idle half of the pair.
