AMD Radeon RX 6550M — Benchmarks & Specs

Short answer: the AMD Radeon RX 6550M generates 33.0 tokens/sec on qwen3:30b under lmstudio in a single cited run, per LocalLLaMA; there are too few comparable runs on file for a median.

Bottom line: how fast is the Radeon RX 6550M?

At 1440p Ultra, the Radeon RX 6550M averages 27 fps in Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, per Notebookcheck. For local LLM inference it generates 33.0 tokens/sec running qwen3:30b under lmstudio, per LocalLLaMA. In Geekbench 6 GPU OpenCL it scores 30,568 points, per Notebookcheck.

Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.

The Radeon RX 6550M is a graphics card from the RDNA 2 family from AMD. Data on this page draws on 14 synthetic benchmark results (top 10 shown), 1 community AI inference report, 40 game frame-rate results (top 15 shown), compiled from Notebookcheck, technical.city, LocalLLaMA, 3DMark, PassMark; each table row links to its source. Read this page when shopping the Radeon RX 6550M, comparing it against other graphics cards in your build, or sizing it for a specific workload (gaming at 1080p/1440p/4K, synthetic benchmark scores, or local LLM inference).

Gaming Performance (reported FPS)

Average and 1% low frame rates by game, resolution, and quality preset. Bars are scaled against the fastest result on this page.

Gaming frame rates for the Radeon RX 6550M by game, resolution, and quality preset. Rows from aggregator sites are estimates, not measured runs, dated by when SpecPicks fetched them. “1% low” is the frame-time floor that determines perceived smoothness. Each row links to its original review or benchmark database.

AI Inference Performance

Tokens per second under each model + quantization. Higher = faster generation. Bars compare runs across the same model.

Local LLM inference throughput on the Radeon RX 6550M, in generated tokens per second for a single request (one user's generation speed). Higher is better; each row links to the community report or benchmark database it came from.
Model Quantization Relative Tokens/sec VRAM used Source
qwen3:30b — lmstudio 33.0 tok/s — LocalLLaMA 2026-02-05

Synthetic Benchmarks

Higher is better. Bars are scaled within each benchmark family (multi-thread, single-thread, etc.) so you can compare like-with-like at a glance.

Synthetic benchmark scores for the Radeon RX 6550M — higher is better. Each row links to the public database the number was taken from. A benchmark listed more than once is separate published results, shown as published rather than averaged.
