Nvidia’s RTX 50-series GPUs are just around the corner, with the first releases — the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 — dropping on January 30th. The RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 will follow that with their own releases in February, but some are already getting a sneak peek at the GPUs’ software benefits through DLSS 4.

Wait until the 50-series before purchasing yourself a shiny, new gaming laptop. After seeing what these GPUs may be capable of, I stand by my claim.

Fresh Nvidia next-gen GPU fears emerge: shaky stock, pricing worries, and a claim the RTX 5070 is delayed until March.

During CES 2025, Nvidia unveiled its lineup of next-generation GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs. While the desktop GeForce RTX 5090 garnered the most awe with its impressive specs, we also saw laptop GPUs — and these mobile GPUs might foreshadow what we can expect from the as-of-yet unannounced desktop GPUs, like the RTX 5060.

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5090 starts at $1,999 before you factor in upsells from the company's partners or price increases driven by scalpers and/or genuine demand. It costs more than my entire gaming PC.
