Nvidia RTX 5090 mobile GPU: more efficient and a little faster

Nvidia ’s new laptop GPUs, led by the flagship RTX 5090 , may be on a similarly modest trajectory.

The new mobile card has 24 GB of VRAM instead of the 16 GB of GDDR7 found on the 4040 .

The 5090 has more powerful Tensor cores, slightly more CUDA cores, and an extra hardware video encoder.

The biggest difference I saw was in Cyberpunk 2077 at 2.5 K resolution and Ultra settings.

Like the 50-series desktop cards, the 5090 laptop GPU looks its best in games that support DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation .

Over 100 games now support Nvidia ’s highlight feature, and you can also use override settings in the Nvidia app to force it in unsupported games.

Frame generation uses AI models to generate extra frames and insert them between traditionally rendered frames.

The RTX 5090 is Nvidia ’s most powerful and expensive laptop GPU .

You can expect to pay $ 4,000 or more for a laptop that runs it.

It shows some promise for games that support DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation .
