Quick Answers

So, is Radeon RX 550 (móvel) better than Radeon Ryzen 5 6600H?

Yes. Radeon RX 550 (móvel) is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 3,500 vs 3,448 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Radeon RX 550 (móvel) is a 2017 card with FSR upscaling + limited Frame Generation, while Radeon Ryzen 5 6600H is a 2021 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

Radeon Ryzen 5 6600H is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2021 generation instead of 2017, the stronger feature stack with FSR upscaling instead of FSR upscaling + limited Frame Generation, and a 7nm process instead of 14nm. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

Radeon RX 550 (móvel) can still make sense if you find it at the right price, especially around $79 MSRP. Radeon RX 550 (móvel) is still the smarter buy for most people, though, because the raw performance is close while the overall package is cleaner. Radeon RX 550 (móvel) is about $271 cheaper on MSRP at $79 MSRP versus $350 MSRP, and you are getting 1.5% higher G3D Mark. Radeon Ryzen 5 6600H is the newer 2021 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture and future-proofing than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.

When does Radeon Ryzen 5 6600H make more sense than Radeon RX 550 (móvel)?

Yes. Radeon Ryzen 5 6600H is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture, future-proofing, and staying closer to $350 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of Radeon RX 550 (móvel). The trade-off is that Radeon RX 550 (móvel) currently gives you 1.5% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 349.7%.
