Multi-frame generation has real potential to improve the gaming experience on cheaper laptops, but Nvidia’s RTX 5090 laptop GPU isn’t the huge leap you’re waiting for.

The new mobile RTX 5090 has 24GB of GDDR7 VRAM instead of the 16GB of GDDR6 found on the 4090. It’s also got more powerful Tensor cores, slightly more CUDA cores, and an extra hardware video encoder for better livestreaming and video exports, but the same 175W TDP.

After 30 benchmark tests, is the Nvidia RTX 5090 really better than the RTX 5080? The results might shock you.
