GeForce RTX 5090 vs GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 5090 GPU is faster than the GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop in gaming.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 5090 has a significantly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. In addition, the GeForce RTX 5090 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 5090 at 575 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 5090 is better than the GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop.
