Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop vs Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop is a mobile graphics card from the Blackwell family for laptops, which Team Green presented in April 2025 and became available in May. It is based on the GB206 chip and offers 3328 shader / CUDA cores, 104 tensor cores and 26 ray tracing units. The 8 GB GDDR7 graphics memory is connected via a 128-bit memory bus. Other features of the GPU include native PCIe 5 support, DisplayPort 2.1a, DirectX 12_2 Ultimate and support for DLSS4 and Reflex 2.

Performance

As always, the performance depends on the cooling and the maximum power consumption (TGP) of the RTX 5060 Laptop. In synthetic benchmarks, the new card is just ahead of the old RTX 4070 Laptop GPU in synthetic benchmarks. In our gaming tests, however, the mobile RTX 4070 is still slightly faster. As a result, the GPU is recommended for QHD gaming with maximum settings and DLSS or slightly reduced detail level in demanding games (such as F1 25).

Power consumption

The chip can be configured from 45 to 100 watts TGP and can be clocked differently accordingly. With 45 watts TGP, for example, the GP clocks from 952 - 1455 MHz, at the full 100 watts with 1950 - 2310 MHz.

The chip is produced in the 5nm process at TSMC (4N FinFET).

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop is a mobile graphics card from the Blackwell family for laptops, which was unveiled at CES 2025. It is based on the GB206 chip, featuring 4,608 shader/CUDA cores clocked at 908-2520 MHz (depending on the model). The graphics memory used is 8 GB GDDR7 with a 128-bit memory bus. The RTX 5070 features 36 RT-cores and 48 ROPs. 

Performance

Our tests show that the RTX 5070 Laptop is negligibly faster than the previous RTX 4070 Laptop (1-3%) in games and up to ~5% faster in benchmarks. However, MFG (2x, 3x, and 4x) and DLSS support can help the 5070 to ensure higher and smoother frame rates. The desktop counterpart is 15-20% faster, depending on the resolution (without accounting for DLSS and MFG).

Power consumption

The GB206 chip is manufactured in the current TSMC 4N process. The total graphics power of this model ranges from 50 to 100 watts.
