NVIDIA RTX 5080 Laptop GPU Might Be Up to 60% Faster Than RTX 4080 Laptop

[GGforever]

Moore's Law is Dead, a prominent YouTube channel specializing in computer hardware leaks, has revealed its expectations for the RTX 50-series Laptop GPUs. We have already reported on a massive product listing leak shedding light on almost every single "Blackwell" laptop GPU, but needless to say, more information is always welcome. According to Moore's Law is Dead, the RTX 5090 Laptop GPU, and this has been hinted at by the aforementioned prior leak, will only sport 16 GB of GDDR7 VRAM - the same as the RTX 5080 Laptop.

Moreover, his sources indicate that the RTX 5080 will drop with a 175-watt TGP and 7,680 CUDA cores, which is shockingly only a hair more than the 7,424 found in its predecessor. However, the source did state that the RTX 5080 will be around 40 to 60% faster than the RTX 4080, which is a massive generational leap in performance. It is not clear at this point how this number was arrived at, but it sure does seem rather utopian. Yet another source has also indicated that an RTX 5090 Laptop card with a whopping 24 GB of VRAM is also in the works which might launch down the line, but there is little else to be said about it. As MLID notes, NVIDIA has very little to no competition in the high-end laptop segment, which inevitably makes things worse for the end-user.

I just can't seem to get hyped for RTX5000 series.

Patiently waiting for the real reveal of their prices on 7th.

 

[sephiroth117]

also 60% more expensive and more power hungry ^^.


As always with Nvidia for me, it's NEVER about the R&D and the technology, they make awesome products, it's always the price and, sometimes, the associated amount of vRAM.

No doubt Blackwell from a purely product/tech viewpoint is going to be impressive, even if it's still 5nm.

My piksel graphics game used only 14 W of power. And CPU is not sweating.

Till it thermal throttles

Gaming laptops... yawn...

if my "contacts" were the marketing department I would get crazy performance quotes too

3% more cores and 40-60% faster? Yeah okay.

We just went through this with the Super release. There won't be any noticable increase below 5090. 5090 is the only card getting a noticable increase in cores and it's only 33% more so that's not even earth shattering.

I don't know how that is going to work. Laptops suck when it comes to doing anything intensive. My old alienware only had about 1-2 Gb VRAM and it would get quite toasty when rendering. I can't imagine them having 24 Gb VRAM without it throttling.

Even if a laptop 5080 were 60% faster I doubt its sustained speed as most gaming laptops run too hot.

 

[Ruru]

Their laptop GPU branding is just so damn misleading. Well, they've done that since the 30 series, but with 20 series, when you bought a laptop with a mobile 2080S, you got a 2080S instead of a one tier lower GPU like since the 30 series.

 

[Roph]

Why are you posting MLID fan fiction?

 

[Pumper]

Since there are multiple different TDP variants of the "same" laptop GPUs, I would not be surprised that it's "up to 60% faster" when comparing the best 5080M to the lowest TDP 4080M.

 

[watzupken]

60% performance is possible only through some AI driven features. If it is purely based on CUDA cores and faster memory, we should be expecting no more than 20% improvement because there is barely any change in specs, and laptops have very tight power and thermal constraints.

"Might be" being the keyword here...

Laptops with 1-2gb of gpu ram where around 6+yrs ago. Maybe you forgot to clean the heatsink.
Its not the amount of ram that determines the thermal output.

 

[TumbleGeorge]

3% more cores and 40-60% faster? Yeah okay.

Where is the problem? Just put 40-60% more fake frames.

 

[bruticus]

with gddr7 might hit that if rtx 4080m was memory bandw bottleneck

Might Be Up to 60% Faster

Key word here is MIGHT......

And if you believe that nonsense, I have some beautiful, private beachfront property I can sell you for cheap.....

ps: it's in central Montana, hehehe
