UHD Graphics 617: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide
UHD Graphics 617 — 18 games benchmarked at 1080p.
UHD Graphics 617 — 18 games benchmarked at 1080p . This guide covers what the chip delivers in games, where it sits among mobile GPUs in 2026, and which laptops carry it.
The UHD Graphics 617 is Intel's Generation 9.5 integrated GPU for entry 2018 laptops. This benchmark-only page covers its 18 games at 1080p (16 on the high preset, two with medium data); no laptop model in the catalog is matched to this chip record.
Where the UHD Graphics 617 sits in 2026
A catalog score of 3.2 puts it 292nd of 341 — deep in the bottom sixth of the table. The neighbors are telling: the Quadro 3000M (3.4), Radeon R5 M430 (3.2) and R7 M340 (3.2) above, the GeForce GT 750M (3.2), NVS 5400M (3) and Radeon R5 M330 (3) below. The 617 ranks with 2011-2013 entry discretes — the honest fate of a low-tier iGPU eight years on.
What the chip brings
Generation 9.5 architecture on 14nm, system-shared memory, a 15W envelope. Public benchmarks: PassMark 862, Time Spy 300, Fire Strike 997, with compute at 4302 (Vulkan) and 3294 (OpenCL). This is a display-and-desktop GPU with a modest gaming ceiling, and the numbers say so plainly.
FPS in games at 1080p
At the high preset the legacy capped titles hold their 240/140 ceilings and Valorant manages 35. Then the floor arrives: Rocket League at 18 (26 on medium — a coherent headroom step), DOTA 2 at 15, X-Plane 11 at 13 (14 on medium), Forza Horizon 4 at 10, Fortnite at 9, The Witcher 3 at 8, Battlefield 5 and Far Cry 5 at 5, Counter-Strike 2 at 4, Cyberpunk 2077 at 4 and the Resident Evil 4 remake at 2 fps. Light esports on reduced settings is the whole story; the medium column confirms rather than rescues it.
Bottom line
The UHD 617 is a working display adapter, not a gaming option. Its table shows a chip that runs the oldest esports titles at usable frame rates and nothing else at 1080p high. In 2026 any laptop carrying it is an eight-year-old entry machine — worth buying only at scrap prices for office work, with the game table below serving as the definitive argument against expecting more.
