NVIDIA Quadro FX 550M: specs and benchmarks
Summary
NVIDIA started Quadro FX 550M sales 13 March 2006. This is a Curie architecture notebook card based on 90 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 512 MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 1 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 16 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is card attached via PCIe 1.0 x16 interface. Power consumption is at 35 Watt.
We have no data on Quadro FX 550M benchmark results.

Size and compatibility
Information on Quadro FX 550M's compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus, if the video card is inserted into a slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.
| Interface | PCIe 1.0 x16 |
Memory
Parameters of memory installed on Quadro FX 550M: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM instead.
| Memory type | GDDR3 | |
| Maximum RAM amount | 512 MB | of 192 (Radeon Instinct MI300X) |
| Memory bus width | 128 Bit | of 19000 (GeForce RTX 3080 12 GB) |
| Memory clock speed | 1000 MHz | of 23000 (GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER) |
| Memory bandwidth | 16 GB/s | of 3276 (Aldebaran) |
Video outputs and ports
Types and number of video connectors present on Quadro FX 550M. As a rule, this section is relevant only for desktop reference graphics cards, since for notebook ones the availability of certain video outputs depends on the laptop model, while non-reference desktop models can (though not necessarily will) bear a different set of video ports.
| Display Connectors | No outputs |
API support
APIs supported by Quadro FX 550M, sometimes including their particular versions.
| DirectX | 9.0c (9_3) | |
| Shader Model | 3.0 | |
| OpenGL | 2.1 | of 4.6 (GeForce GTX 1080 Mobile) |
| OpenCL | N/A | |
| Vulkan | N/A |
