NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile

The GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile will be a mobile graphics chip by NVIDIA, that is expected to launch in 2025. Built on the unknown process, and based on the GB203 graphics processor, the chip supports DirectX 12 Ultimate.

anticipated to bring significant advancements in laptop graphics performance. Expected for release in 2025, it features 16GB of GDDR7 memory with a 256-bit memory bus, allowing for improved data transfer rates and efficiency. This is a step up from the current mobile RTX 4090’s GDDR6, making it a powerful option for high-end gaming and content creation on mobile platforms.

This ensures that all modern games will run on GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile. Additionally, the DirectX 12 Ultimate capability guarantees support for hardware-raytracing, variable-rate shading and more, in upcoming video games.

The GB203 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 377 mm². It features 10752 shading units, 336 texture mapping units, and 128 ROPs. Also included are 336 tensor cores which help improve the speed of machine learning applications.

Unlike the desktop variant, which might come with up to 24GB of VRAM, the mobile version’s GDDR7 memory will still enhance performance within the constraints of laptop cooling systems. Additionally, the RTX 5090 Mobile will support PCIe Gen 5, further boosting data bandwidth. These features suggest that the RTX 5090 Mobile is positioned to handle demanding applications and games at high resolutions with enhanced efficiency, making it a significant leap in mobile GPU technology compared to the previous generation

The card also has 84 raytracing acceleration cores. NVIDIA has paired 16 GB GDDR7 memory with the GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1500 MHz, which can be boosted up to 2000 MHz, memory is running at 2500 MHz (31.7 Gbps effective).


Its power draw is rated at 175 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x HDMI 2.1, 3x DisplayPort 1.4a. GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 5.0 x16 interface.
