It's an ok GPU for common use and light gaming. It performs similarly to modern integrated mobile graphics but has more VRAM. It can run lighter titles such as Minecraft and GTA 5 fine. The gt 550 m does seem to have some cooling issues though. My old ASUS exploded on my lap while I was playing Minecraft.
