Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang just unveiled the RTX 50-series, including both desktop cards — such as the beastly RTX 5090RTX 5090 — and laptop variants. As far as laptop gamers go, there’s a lot to get hyped for here, as these GPUs might end up being some of the best graphics cards in terms of performance. Huang promises to deliver RTX 4090-level performance in a $1,300 laptop, and that’s at half the TDP.
During the CES 2025 keynote, Huang spoke about the various GPUs that are on the way to laptops. Availability starts in March, and although no precise release dates have been given yet, we know what to expect in terms of pricing, and we also have a bit of a clue about the performance.
Nvidia’s laptop lineup is fleshed out from the get-go, with the RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, and the RTX 5070 arriving in March. It’s the RTX 5070 variant that caught my eye. Huang claims that these laptops will start at $1,300 — which is fairly comparable to RTX 40-series variants, if slightly pricier — but they’ll pack performance comparable to an RTX 4090 at half the power.
