Nvidia RTX 5090 laptop demo doubles RTX 4090 frame rates, but there’s a catch

It looks like laptop gamers could seriously benefit from having the latest Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 gaming GPUs over last-gen models if you want the best frame rate. A benchmark demo, shown off by Nvidia at GDC 2025, shows a huge performance boost for the laptop RTX 5090 over the RTX 4090. However, with Nvidia DLSS 4 upscaling improvements and multi-frame generation seemingly responsible, the picture isn't as clear cut as Nvidia might want us to believe, given that technology that isn't available in every game.

This interesting comparison does show just how big of an uplift the Nvidia tech has on performance between two Razer Blade laptops, among the best gaming laptops you can buy, using current and last-gen GPUs. While the desktop RTX 5090 hasn’t seen the biggest leap in raw performance, this data shows that Nvidia’s work on improving the software side could see bigger dividends on laptops over the long term, which have tighter constraints on power consumption than their desktop counterparts.
