Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop vs Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop vs Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 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 Ti Laptop

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop is a mobile graphics card from the Blackwell family for laptops, unveiled at CES 2025. It is based on the GB205 chip, featuring 5,888 shader/CUDA cores clocked at 847-1995 MHz (depending on the model) and 12 GB of GDDR7 memory with a 192-bit interface. The model also has 46 RT-cores, as well as 80 ROPs.

As a novelty, Blackwell offers support for Multi-Frame Generation (MFG) with DLSS4, thanks to the 5th generation of Tensor cores.

Performance

As our tests show, the RTX 5070 Ti laptop is 23% faster than the standard RTX 5070 laptop on average in benchmarks. Gaming performance delta is lower; here, the RTX 5070 Ti laptop is only 15% faster on average than the RTX 5070 laptop. The desktop counterpart, the RTX 5070 Ti, is 34% faster. Furthermore, with the mentioned Multi-Frame Generation (MFG) you can get impressive frame rates, but keep latency in mind.

Power consumption

The GB205 chip is manufactured at TSMC in the 4N (custom 4NP 5nm) process. The maximum allowed TGP for this model is 140 watts (including Dynamic Boost).

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop is a high-end notebook graphics card that was presented at CES 2025 and went on sale in April 2025. 

Architecture

The GeForce RTX 5080 Mobile utilizes the Blackwell GB203 chip and employs 8,192 of the chip's 10,752 cores. Compared to the similar named desktop chips, it therefore is nearer to the desktop RTX 5070 (6.144 cores) than the similar named desktop RTX 5080 (10.752 cores). The memory bus is however like the desktop RTX 5080 a 256 Bit bus for 16 GB GDDR7.

As a novelty, Blackwell offers support for Multi-Frame Generation (MFG) with DLSS4, thanks to the 5th generation of Tensor cores.

Performance

The average theoretical performance of the laptop RTX 5080 is similar to the desktop RTX 5070 and the older RTX 4090 Laptop GPU (Time Spy GPU). In games (e.g. Doom: The dark ages), the performance is also on par with the old RTX 4090 Laptop GPU, although the RTX 5080 supports the already mentioned MFG option for impressive frame rates. Still the latency is the same, so you should start from at least 60 fps without frame generation.

Power consumption

The GB203 is manufactured at TSMC using the 4N FinFET process (custom 4NP 5nm). The maximum TGP of the card can reach 150 watts (125 watts + 25 watts Dynamic Boost).
