GeForce GT 635M: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide
GeForce GT 635M — 15 games benchmarked at 1080p, 1 model in the catalog.
GeForce GT 635M — 15 games benchmarked at 1080p , 1 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 GeForce GT 635M is a 2012 entry-level discrete GPU — one of the last Fermi-generation parts NVIDIA sold under a 600-series name. This guide covers its 15 recorded game benchmarks at 1080p and the one laptop in the catalog that carries it.
Where the GT 635M sits in 2026
In the catalog's composite ranking of 341 scored chips the GT 635M lands at #301 with a score of 2.7. Its neighborhood is all early-2010s entry material: the Quadro 1000M (#298, 2.8) and Radeon R7 M260 (#300, 2.7) just above, its direct sibling the GT 630M (#302, 2.6) one place below, then the Radeon HD 7670M (#303, 2.5) and NVS 5200M (#304, 2.4). In other words: firmly in the bottom decile, rubbing shoulders with chips a decade and a half old.
What the chip brings
The record lists 144 CUDA cores on a 40nm Fermi 2.0 die, 2GB of DDR3 memory, a 35W envelope and 0.39 TFLOPS of compute. Public benchmarks agree with the era: PassMark 534, Fire Strike 750, OpenCL 2476. This was multimedia-class silicon in 2012 — video decode and desktop work, not gaming.
FPS in games at 1080p
The high-preset table tells the story honestly. The four legacy rows (CS:GO, Overwatch, GTA V, PUBG) sit at their recorded ceilings of 240 and 140 — read those as "runs at the cap", not as precision numbers. Everything modern collapses fast: Valorant 30, Dota 2 16, Forza Horizon 4 and The Witcher 3 at 7, Counter-Strike 2 at 4, Fortnite 4, Cyberpunk 2077 3, and the Far Cry 5 / Forza Horizon 5 / Metro Exodus trio at 2. A 2012 entry GPU simply does not speak the language of 2018-and-later engines.
Laptops that carry it
Exactly one catalog listing matches this chip: a Lenovo G580 (2013) at $108 — a 15-inch budget all-rounder of its day. There is no fleet to speak of; the GT 635M shows up in the data as a single preserved specimen.
Bottom line
If you encounter a GT 635M laptop today, treat it as a light-duty machine: older e-sports titles at reduced settings, video playback, office work. Anything from the modern AAA generation is measured in single-digit frame rates at 1080p high — the table above says so without embellishment.
