Nvidia’s powerful RTX 4090, 4070 and more are coming to laptops

Nvidia has announced that the latest RTX 40-series graphics cards will be shipping in gaming laptops from February. The most powerful option is the RTX 4090, but that goes all the way up to the RTX 4050. Of course, don’t expect the performance of these laptop GPU variants to match that of their desktop counterparts. However, they seem to have all their exclusive features in tow, including DLSS 3, which provides frame generation for improved performance and better-than-ever ray tracing. You can view all the details and specifications herebut I’ve listed a few below.

As for which laptops will receive the RTX 40 Series upgrade first, Nvidia is calling on partners such as Alienware’s new X16, Dell, Acer, Gigabyte, MSI, Samsung, Lenovo and Razer in multiple form factors, including thinner studio machines and 14-inch laptops. I suggest checking our site later today and throughout the week to see the shroud of various machines Nvidia is referencing.

While the RTX 4070 isn’t Nvidia’s most powerful mobile GPU, it packs some impressive capabilities. said Nvidia during the CES live stream that it delivers RTX 3080 performance levels at a third of the power. These 40-series chips use low-voltage GDDR6 memory, which sounds like very fast performance without using much power. And by using less power, battery life should, in theory, improve.

With the faster RTX 4090 and 4080, Nvidia claims that laptops can send a 4K resolution image to three monitors simultaneously at 60 frames per second (game dependent, I’m guessing), and it claims to offer two times faster video exports compared to the previous one generation of graphics chips.
