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.

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.

In the company’s testing, games were easily jumping the 4K 120FPS hurdle, but not quite reaching 240FPS on a QHD display — putting it into a bit of a no man’s land of sorts. So as logic tracks, that makes sense (though it will be interesting to see how other laptop makers are tackling this with their own QHD panels).
