In this article, we’re discussing the Nvidia RTX 5000 Blackwell mobile platform that you will find in a multitude of all-around, worksation and gaming laptops over the next 2-3 years, and particularly focus on the top-tier GPU options, the GeForce RTX 5080 and RTX 5090.
We’ll go over the mid-tier 5070 and 5070Ti GPus more in-depth in a separate article, and then we’ll follow up on the entry-tier RTX 5060/5050 graphics chips later in the year, when available.
First, we’ll touch on the particularities of the Blackwell platform and how these 5080/5090 Laptop chips compare to their 4080/4090 Laptop predecessors, with a hint of what to expect in general performance in workloads and games.
And then we’ll list the devices that offer this hardware today, both the multitude of full-size full-performance models and the few thin-and-light portable variants announced so far.
Nvidia RTX Blackwell 5090 and 5080 mobile graphic chips explained
Here’s a brief preview of the entire range up of mobile RTX 5000 chips released so far, from the 5070 to the 5090, all based on the Blackwell Architecture and various GB2xx GPU chips.

This generation of Nvidia mobile chips are built on Blackwell 2.0 silicon, with the GB203 chip implemented on the 5090 and 5080 mobile graphics units.
That means there’s none of the larger GB202 chip offered with the 5090 desktop GPU, hence the Laptop version is smaller and with more limited specs in comparison. That’s no surprise, though, given the desktop 5090 is a power hog and an extremely expensive chip, while the mobile chips only go up to 175W of TGP with Dynamic Boost. That’s half to one-third of what the desktop chips draw from the wall.
At the same time, since this hardware is still built on the same TSMC 4N lithography as the Ada Lovelace RTX 4000 chips, it doesn’t benefit from the generational uplifts seen in the past, when transitioning to a more advanced build process. Hence, both the the 5090 and 5080 GPUs only offer tiny increases in CUDA, RT and Tensor cores over their predecessors, of up to 10%.
However, these chips benefit from more and significantly faster memory, with 24 GB GDDR7 on the 5090 and 16 GB GDDR7 on the 5080. The media engines see a generational update as well.
Overall, performance gains, in general, should be modest in most graphics loads for these Blackwell chips, with more notable gains in applications and workloads that benefit from the updated memory.
For games, I’d expect most improvements at 4K resolution, with limited gains in framerates at QHD resolution and lower; but at the same time, I expect these chips to struggle running the latest titles at 4K with max graphics settings, something to keep in mind if you decide on getting a laptop with a 4K display this year, from the many 18-inch variants available.
However, DLSS is going to play a major role with this generation, with the RTX 5000 chips offering support for DLSS 4.0 and MFG – Multi Frame Generation. DLSS 4.0 replaces the AI models used for the DLSS 3.5 technologies (Super Resolution, DLAA, Frame Generation, Ray Reconstruction, Reflex) with a new generation of so called Transformer AI technologies – these technologies support previous-gen RTX chips as well, but MFG is only offered on the RTX 5000 series. This is supposed to use AI to generate up to 3x extra frames per rendered frame (instead of 1x extra frame with previous-gen FG), and requires hardware technologies only offered with the Blackwell chips.
We’ll need to test these in real life to determine these technologies’ overall worth. However, the results are impressive based on what we see in the desktop 5080/5090 implementations. But I must stress again that those are quite a lot more powerful, especially the desktop 5090 built on the GB202 chip.
Still, it goes without saying that it’s somewhat awkward to see these Blackwell chips having to rely on software for any significant performance boosts in games, unlike what we experienced with past generational updates of RTX Laptop graphics chips. Strictly for rasterization, the gains in games between the two platforms is probably around 10% or even less, so if you already have a solid laptop with RTX 4000 graphics, you might want to hold on it instead of upgrading to a 2025 model, unless you’re upgrading for other specific reasons.
Nonetheless, I look forward to testing the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 chips in a handful of laptops over the next few weeks and will update the article with our findings after the embargoes. Stay tuned for that.

In the meantime, let’s get to the next section of the article, the lists of laptops built on these Blackwell RTX 5000 chips.
Thin-and-light ultraportables with Nvidia RTX 5090 or RTX 5080 graphics
This first section includes the more portable notebook formats available with RTX 5080/5090 graphics, alongside recent hardware from Intel or AMD.
The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 stands out between the available options, as the most compact and lightweight, but it only offers a MaxQ GPU implementations and can be specced up to an RTX 5080 110W in this refreshed 2025 generation.
The other models are compact and still portable 16-inchers, the MSI Stealth A16 and the brand new 2025 Razer Blade 16. The Blade in particular seems to implemens quite a powerful RTX 5090 at up to 155W TGP, which is darn close to the full-power variants in larger devices.
Of course, you’ll want to look into reviews with these thin-and-light options, and understand and accept their actual performance compared to what the 5080/5090 chips can deliver in full-size chassis, as well as the thermals and noise outputs of each unit.

Full-size full-performance RTX 5090 and 5080 notebooks
This section gathers all of the available options with a full-power Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 or 5090 running at 175W with Dynamic Boost.
The majority of these options are full-size 16 and 18 inch notebooks, with representatives from almost all major brands. Each of the laptops in this list is worthy of attention, but with their own particularities that you will find in detailed reviews and will help you decide on the best choice for your needs and budget.
Among these, the MSI Titan 18 still stands out of the crowd with its 4K mini LED display, excellent cooling, and premium metal build, but it still costs an arm and a leg; so perhaps you should also closely look into other options, such as the Asus ROG Scar 18/16, the brand new Lenovo Legion Pro 7i and HP Omen Max 16, as well as the Clevo-based Schenker Key 18 Pro and XMG Neo 16 chassis.

That’s about it for this article.
It’s a work in progress, though, and we’ll update it as new models with mobile Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 graphics chips are released, or once we get to review some of these.
In the meantime, get in touch in the comments section below with your thoughts on this Nvidia RTX Blackwell laptop hardware. And if you spot any notebook that should be listed in this article and isn’t yet, please let me know about it.

Will you be getting any models with 5080 and/or 5090 cards to review here soon? I noticed some sites are pre-ordering here soon. It would be nice to see the thermals and performance on them before buying, but I'm also nervous about supply.

Can you share embargo dates? I can't find anything online.
