Multi-frame generation has real potential to improve the gaming experience on cheaper laptops, but Nvidia’s RTX 5090 laptop GPU isn’t the huge leap you’re waiting for.

Before launch, Nvidia sent me a top-end 2025 Razer Blade 16 to test out its latest flagship laptop GPU. Here's a first look at how this blazing chip handled our testing suite, and how DLSS 4 performs.

In the company’s testing, games were easily jumping the 4K 120FPS hurdle, but not quite reaching 240FPS on a QHD display — putting it into a bit of a no man’s land of sorts. So as logic tracks, that makes sense (though it will be interesting to see how other laptop makers are tackling this with their own QHD panels).
