Radeon RX 7800 XT vs GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop comparison

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop graphics card is better than the Radeon RX 7800 XT in our tests.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 7800 XT 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 Radeon RX 7800 XT 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 Radeon RX 7800 XT at 263 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 5090 Laptop is faster than the Radeon RX 7800 XT.
