T550: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

T550 (Laptop) — 16 games benchmarked at 1080p, 5 models in the catalog.

T550 (Laptop) — 16 games benchmarked at 1080p , 5 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 T550 (Laptop) is this catalog's second record of NVIDIA's 23 W entry professional chip — same silicon, same game table and same five hosts as the primary T550 record, but a notably different composite score. This page explains the duplicate honestly. 16 games are benchmarked at 1080p.

Where this record sits in 2026

The composite score of 36.4 ranks #161 of 341 — twenty-eight places below the primary T550 record (#133, 47.5) on identical game data. That spread between two records of one chip is among the wider ones in this catalog, and it makes the same point the A3000 trio does: when duplicate records disagree on composite, the game table — not the rank — is the evidence. Neighbors here: the Radeon 760M (37.9), Radeon 8060S (37.9), Quadro M4000M (36.5) above; the GTX 1050 Max-Q (35.4), Quadro T500 (35.2) and Radeon 740M (34.4) below.

What the record brings

Specs match the primary record: 4 GB of GDDR6, a 23 W envelope, a 12 nm Turing process. Public entries: PassMark 4,727 (vs 4,728 on the twin — a one-point difference that confirms shared sample data), Time Spy 1,928. CUDA is supported.

FPS in games at 1080p

Identical to the primary record at the high preset: CS:GO and Overwatch at 240, GTA V and PUBG at 140, Valorant at 100, Dota 2 at 92, Fortnite at 65, 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, Resident Evil 4 Remake and Metro Exodus at 21.

Laptops that carry it

The same five 2022 entry workstations as the primary record: Dell Precision 3570 ($536) and 3470 ($901), HP ZBook FireFly 16 G9 ($1,006) and Firefly 14 G9 ($901), Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 3 ($901). One fleet, two catalog entries.

Bottom line

Read this page and the primary T550 page as one chip: a 23 W certified entry GPU for thin workstations, with light-esports gaming as a bonus and the heaviest titles at 21–35 FPS at 1080p high. The 28-place composite gap between the two records is a data artifact, not a performance difference — use the table, ignore the rank split, and buy on chassis condition.
