You will also see some issues with just swapping out your MacBook Pro HDD to SSD. As you didn’t tell us which model I can’t give you the needed steps to replace it and what will be needed.
=== Update (04/27/2020) ===
I only use Samsung SSD's as they have a good track record and their performance is always at the top when you check the reviews.

I think your testing has hit its limits with your MAcBook Pro as well with a bad GPU. Even still your number could be better if you replace the older HD SATA cable which has issues in this series.

Apple's original cable was only rated for SATA II (3.0 Gb/s) so when you use a high performance drive you can end up encountering performance issues as the cable just can't support the higher throughput. To fix this we install a better HD SATA cable which is designed to support SATA III (6.0 Gb/s) drives [product|IF161-100].
We also need to help protect the cable from damage as Apple also encountered issues with the rough surface of the aluminum uppercase. Here we use a strip of electricians tape to protect the cable from wear

The next thing we need to worry about is in the process of installing it we don’t damage the cable. The cable is made of thin foil wires which can be damaged when you fold the cable too far. A common issue I’ve found is people crease the cable with sharp crease when the cable needs to bend around a corner which fatigues the wires. Instead I use a old BIC pen ink straw as a forming brake to roll the cable into a nice smooth arc as the radius of the straw is as tight a curve you want in the cable.
