GeForce RTX 4090 D vs GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 4090 D beats the GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 4090 D has a significantly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the GeForce RTX 4090 D also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 95 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 4090 D at 425 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 4090 D is faster than the GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop.
