NVIDIA GeForce MX550 Matches Ryzen 9 5900HS Vega iGPU in PassMark

The recently announced entry-level NVIDIA GeForce MX550 Turing-based discrete mobile graphics card for thin and light laptops has recently appeared on the PassMark video card benchmark site. The MX550 scores 5014 points in the G3D Mark test which places its performance nearly exactly with that of the integrated Vega 8 iGPU found in the Ryzen 9 5900HS that scores 4968 points in the same benchmark. There is only a single test result available for the MX550 so we will need to wait for further benchmarks to confirm its exact performance but either way it represents a significant performance improvement from the MX450 which scores just 3724 points. The MX550 is a PCIe 4.0 card featuring the 12 nm TU117 Turing GPU with 1024 shading units paired with 2 GB of GDDR6 memory.
