NVIDIA GeForce MX550

The GeForce MX550 is an NVIDIA GPU. This GPU is average at gaming with a score of 1650 points in our PC benchmark.

It has a total memory bandwidth of 93 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 64 bits.

In terms of clock speed, the GeForce MX550 GPU core runs at a frequency of 1065 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 1320 MHz. The core clock is directly related to the performance of a GPU, the higher the clock, the more processing can be done per second. A higher clock does not guarantee better performance by itself, this also depends on the number of shading units and other elements of the pipeline.

As for rendering API support, the GeForce MX550 supports up to DirectX 12. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.6 features are supported. Newer APIs are usually more efficient, allowing for better performance in games and better graphical effects.

This chip has a Thermal Design Power of 25W: the total amount of waste heat generated. A card that runs hotter will need better cooling and will draw more power from the wall.
