The GPU’s performance is comparable to the NVIDIA GeForce MX550, with a -0.1% deltaPct, indicating similar frame rates in typical titles. For modern AAA games, expect 30-60 FPS at 1080p with reduced settings, but this is an estimate. Esports titles like Counter-Strike or League of Legends may achieve higher frame rates, but again, this is speculative. The 8 ray tracing cores provide some RT capability, but the 3.072 TFLOPS FP32 performance suggests that enabling ray tracing will significantly impact FPS. The system shared memory design means that gaming performance is highly dependent on the laptop’s RAM configuration, with faster DDR5 memory yielding better results. Users should temper expectations for high-refresh gaming, as the GPU’s 16 ROPs and 32 TMUs are modest by discrete standards.
