Laptops that feature the GeForce RTX 50 Series Laptop, a new family of mobile GPUs based on the “Blackwell” architecture that is set to deliver a new level of performance for gamers, creators, and developers on the go, will be available for pre-order beginning on Tuesday, February 25, NVIDIA has announced.
“GeForce RTX 50 Series Laptop pre-orders start Feb 25 from OEMs,” reads a tweet that NVIDIA pushed to its official GeForce account on X today. “Stay tuned for more details!”
Here’s what NVIDIA had to say about its GeForce RTX 50 Series Laptops when they were announced in January, noting that they would be available in March with features that include up to “40% better battery life” and “double the performance” of their predecessors:
Starting in March, the GeForce RTX 50 Series comes to laptops. As thin as 14.9mm, GeForce RTX 50 Series laptops boast up to 40% better battery life thanks to new Blackwell Max-Q innovations, and double the performance of previous-generation models.
Game with double the FPS. Create content and complete workflows in half the time. And finish generative AI tasks 2.5X faster.
Blackwell Max-Q Boosts Battery Life
Blackwell Max-Q is designed from the ground up for efficiency, delivering a massive leap in performance and battery life. There are a number of Max-Q innovations in the Blackwell architecture that combine to make this possible.
Advanced Power Gating technologies greatly reduce power by rapidly toggling unused parts of the GPU.
Blackwell has significantly faster low power states. Low Latency Sleep allows the GPU to go to sleep more often, saving power even when the GPU is being used. This reduces power for gaming, Small Language Models (SLMs), and other creator and AI workloads on battery.
Accelerated Frequency Switching boosts performance by adaptively optimizing clocks to each unique workload at microsecond level speeds.
Voltage Optimized GDDR7 tunes graphics memory for optimal power efficiency with ultra low voltage states, delivering a massive jump in performance compared to last-generation’s GDDR6 VRAM.
Altogether, battery life is boosted by up to 40% compared to previous generation GeForce RTX Laptops.
GeForce RTX 50 Series Laptop Lineup
The GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU is the ultimate GeForce Laptop GPU for gaming and creating. 10,496 CUDA Cores, 1,824 AI TOPS, and 24GB of GDDR7 memory give it unmatched capabilities and performance. Creative and generative AI workloads benefit from the largest ever frame buffer in a laptop, and with the first ever deployment of three NVIDIA NVENC encoders in a laptop, video workflows can be completed in record time.
The GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU boasts 7,680 CUDA cores, 1,334 AI TOPS, and 16GB of GDDR7 memory, with 2X the performance of the GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU. For creators, the 2X increase in memory bandwidth will benefit 3D rendering and video editing.
GeForce RTX 5070 Family Laptop GPUs include two different GPUs. The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU boasts 5,888 CUDA cores, 992 AI TOPS, and 12GB of GDDR7 memory. And the GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU boasts 4,608 CUDA cores, 798 AI TOPS, and 8GB of GDDR7 memory.Â
GeForce RTX 50 Series Laptops Available Starting In March
GeForce RTX 5090, GeForce RTX 5080, and GeForce RTX 5070 Ti laptops will be available starting in March, followed by GeForce RTX 5070 Laptops in April. There will be designs from the world’s top manufacturers, including Acer, ASUS, Dell, GIGABYTE, HP, Lenovo, MECHREVO, MSI, and Razer. Stay tuned to their websites for further details about the GeForce RTX 50 Series Laptops they’re creating.
