UHD Graphics 605: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

UHD Graphics 605 — 14 games benchmarked at 1080p, 6 models in the catalog.

UHD Graphics 605 — 14 games benchmarked at 1080p , 6 laptop models in the used-laptop catalog . This guide covers what the chip delivers in games, where it sits among mobile GPUs in 2026, and which laptops carry it.

The Intel UHD Graphics 605 is the 5W always-on integrated GPU of the Gemini Lake budget generation — the graphics inside inexpensive Celeron and Pentium laptops. This guide covers its 14 recorded game benchmarks at 1080p and the six catalog machines that carry it.

Where the UHD 605 sits in 2026

The composite ranks it #313 of 341 (score 1.8). The neighbors: Quadro 2000M (#310, 2.1), Radeon HD 7570M (#311, 2.1) and R7 M365X (#312, 2.1) above; the HD 6630M (#314, 1.7), HD 7420G (#315, 1.6) and NVS 4200M (#316, 1.6) below. Bottom decile, in the specific company of 2011-12 entry parts — the cost of keeping the power draw at five watts.

What the chip brings

The record lists 18 execution units at up to 750MHz on a 14nm Generation 9.5 design, system-shared memory and a 64-bit bus. Public benchmarks: PassMark 453, Time Spy 113, Fire Strike 454 — numbers that read like a receipt for what the chip cost to run, not what it can do.

FPS in games at 1080p

At the high preset the legacy rows sit at their ceilings — CS:GO and Overwatch 240, GTA V and PUBG 140. Everything measured after that is single-digit honest: Valorant 30, Dota 2 / Forza Horizon 4 / The Witcher 3 at 7, Counter-Strike 2 3, Cyberpunk 2077 and Fortnite 2, Far Cry 5 / Forza Horizon 5 / Metro Exodus 1. The step from "runs" to "plays" happens somewhere around Dota 2 — and stops there.

Laptops that carry it

Six catalog listings, all honest hosts: Dell Latitude 3190 ($127), HP ProBook x360 11 G3 EE ($160) and ProBook x360 G3 ($122) education convertibles, the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15IGL05 ($172), Dell Inspiron 3582 ($194) and Inspiron 3502 ($399). Business-and-classroom machines bought for battery life and price, with the graphics that implies.

Bottom line

The UHD 605 is a display adapter with e-sports aspirations: Valorant at reduced settings, classics at low, everything modern measured in frames you can count on one hand. Its six-host fleet costs $122-399 and delivers exactly what that money buys — which is the point.
