Just got an old Dell Xps17 laptop that comes with an i7 paired with an 555m GPU.  What kind of gaming performance should I expect?  

 

I play games like overwatch,  dead by daylight,  rocket league,  LOL,  dota and CS GO.  

 

Screen is only 900p and I'm not looking for fancy graphics but I want playable frame rates.  

 

Thoughts?

Eh, just try normal and run fraps over the applications.  If you see frame rates you don't like then lower them?

Yeah I'm wondering what i can expect?  I'm waiting for the laptop and will have it later in the week.  Just wondering what people with similar laptops were getting performance wise

Page is in German, but I hope this helps. You can always run it through Google translate if you want.

Here is the same page in English :P

The one in the XPS 17 is the GF106 version, although all versions have pretty low performance in modern games (30ish FPS at lowest settings).

For CSGO, LoL and the likes, it should be fine (60+ FPS) at low or medium settings.
