NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU Challenges RTX 4090 Laptop in Leaked Benchmark

[GGforever]

Once every two years or so, technology enthusiasts like ourselves have our sights pinned on what the GPU giants have in store for us. That moment is here, with both NVIDIA and AMD unveiling their Blackwell and RDNA 4 products respectively. NVIDIA has also announced its laptop offerings, with the RTX 5080 Laptop attempting to rule the mainstream high-performance segment. Now, barely a day or two after launch, we already have a rough idea of how mobile Blackwell is going to perform.

The leaked Geekbench OpenCL results, which comes courtesy of the Alienware Area-51 laptop, reveals how well the RTX 5080 Laptop GPU performs in a 175-watt configuration. According to the numbers, the RTX 5080 Laptop managed to barely exceed the 190,000-points barrier, putting it miles ahead of its predecessor which managed around 160,000. Interestingly, as the headline notes, the RTX 4090 Laptop was also left behind, which scores around 180,000 points on average, although systems with beefier cooling setups can post higher numbers.




That said, it must be kept in mind that consumer Blackwell has more tricks up its sleeve than just raw performance. With AI-driven wizardry such as DLSS 4.0, the RTX 50-series cards can punch well above their weight class, even in scenarios where raw performance fails to deliver. With the official launch set for March, we do have a few more months of waiting to do before being able to test the systems ourselves. Until then, be sure to take leaked benchmarks with a fair amount of skepticism.

The 4080M and 4090M GPUs were just desktop RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4080 non-Supers power-limited to 150W/175W. The RTX 5080M is expected to still be a power limited RTX 5070 Ti or maybe the RTX 5080. The RTX 5090M seems to be configured with 24 GB of GDDR7 on a 384-bit bus, like a slightly upgraded, but heavily power-limited desktop RTX 4090.

Does the laptop in the image exist? and if yes, whats the model?

Yes, it's important to know that desktop and laptop parts are not only specc'ed differently but Nvidia uses the same model name between desktop and laptop parts but with different specs. It is not necessarily impressive that the 5080M exceeds a 4090M.

I dont play OpenCL, I wonder what it improves in Games.

Even then we always knew laptop 4090 was a 4080, so what are they even flexing here, 5080 better than 4080? I am glad that is true.

The 5080M is basically a power limited desktop 5070 Ti while the 5090M is a desktop 5080 with 3Gb GDDR7 modules. Both have 256 bit buses. The 4090M is essentially a desktop 4080.

I supppose this implies that the desktop 5070 Ti should slightly outperform the desktop 4080. For $750 that's not a bad deal.

Watched the MSI stream today and their 5080 laptops have 270 Watt batteries. Yes 270 Watts.

You might be mistaking it with the laptop's power supply. Anything higher than 100 Wh for the built-in battery is not allowed for laptops when travelling, even for desktop replacements.

If there was I would've spent the money on one already LOL

You need a powerBACKTUG for it, but sure, its mobile

It was on the MSI Gaming Live stream from today. If you doubt me look it up. It was one of the first things they talked about. Laptops from 270 to 260 Watts.

Laptops which pull 270W from the wall aren't new, that's been a thing for many generations now, & as Cheeseball said the power pulled from the wall is different from the battery capacity, which is legally limited to 100 Watt Hours for taking on flights so no laptop manufacturers will go above that, even on the crazy desk replacement ones.

Watch the Live stream, they even mentioned that.

 

[Visible Noise]

Laptop batteries don’t have watts. Do you mean watt-hours of capacity? Or they have 270 watt power adapters?

Max power draw.

It's not that I don't doubt you, but 270 Wh is not legally possible. But just to clear things up:


Max power is 270W, which means that 270W TDP+TGP between the 285HX and the RTX 5090M. As mentioned on the bottom of the list this Titan (which is their flagship desktop replacement) has a 99.9 Whr battery.

Not trying to make you look bad, just want to clear up what you saw.

In the stream. One of the presenters said that you could have problems bringing these on an airplane. All I was saying was what they were saying. They even mentioned that the 4090 had a max power draw of 175 Watts vs these.

 

[Cheeseball]

Yeah I just watched that same exact stream: https://www.youtube.com/live/z90SnfowUHo?si=s8LC4J3bUSgYnebb&t=752 (I don't think I can embed Live streams)

He mentioned that you would have problems bringing it in an airplane "if the battery was more than 100Wh". Also its because its so freaken huge. The Titans are REALLY heavy, like 6 to 8 lbs heavy WITHOUT the AC adapter. The Chicony AC adapter that they use (which is 330W) is this monstrosity:


Also, the way MSI markets the power of their flagship laptops is by combining their max programmed TDP of the CPU and the TGP of the GPU and making a big total number. So assuming they let this 285HX run at 95W, that means that the 5090M would be at 175W, therefore 270W max power.

@kapone32

Here's another example in that video:


You see how MSI does their stupid combined power thing? So 75W for the CPU (275HX) and 175W for the GPU equals 250W. It's confusing marketing at best dude.

Here's a game-attempt using pure OpenCL, no DX, no Vulkan, no CUDA, no GL:

RX550: ~64k space ships maximum

RTX4070: 2 million ships, 30-60 FPS, 140 Watts
