Nvidia’s new laptop GPU is 50% slower than desktop. Is it still worth buying?
- Nvidia's best graphics cards, including RTX 50-series, are now available in laptops, posing a dilemma for gamers whether to upgrade or wait for the next generation.
- Reviews suggest the RTX 5090 laptop GPU performs significantly slower compared to its desktop counterpart, with a 53% drop in framerate in some games.
- Benchmarks reveal modest gains in performance for RTX 5090 laptops over the last-gen options, particularly notable when utilizing DLSS 4 for frame generation.
- The difference in performance between laptop and desktop RTX 5090 GPUs is attributed to the total graphics power (TGP) limitations in laptops due to size constraints.
- RTX 5090 laptops offer increased VRAM and DLSS 4 support, enhancing gaming performance, but the reliance on artificial frames may not justify the high price tags.
- Pricing for RTX 5090 laptops, such as the Razer Blade 16, can exceed $4,500, raising concerns over the value proposition for existing RTX 4090 laptop owners.
- DLSS 4 plays a crucial role in boosting performance on RTX 50-series laptops, potentially making lower-tier models like RTX 5070 Ti or RTX 5080 more cost-effective options.
- While RTX 4090 laptops remain viable choices, the absence of DLSS 4 and lower VRAM might steer consumers towards RTX 50-series laptops for enhanced gaming capabilities.
- The significance of DLSS 4 in driving gaming performance on laptops indicates a shift towards AI upscaling technologies for improved visual fidelity and frame rates.
