The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Mobile GPU is a great choice for gaming laptops. It's not quite as fast as the RTX 5090 Mobile, but it's still really good. When you compare them, the RTX 5080 is about 10-15% slower in tests. Some websites, like Notebookcheck, used two Schenker XMG Neo 16 laptops with Ryzen 9 9955HX CPUs to check this out.
They saw a pretty big difference when playing tough games like Baldur's Gate 3, Final Fantasy XV, and Assassin's Creed: Shadows. The gap was biggest when gaming at 4K, but it got smaller at lower resolutions. That's because the graphics card matters less at those settings.
Even when you turn on DLSS, the RTX 5090 Mobile still beats the RTX 5080 Mobile by about 15%. You can see this in real games, like Assassin's Creed Shadows. But here's the thing: the RTX 5080 Mobile is a lot cheaper. It costs about €855 (~ USD 928) less than the RTX 5090 Mobile for the same laptop setup.
The RTX 5090 Mobile is the best you can get, but it might not be worth the extra money for everyone. Especially if you plan to game at 1080p or 1440p, the RTX 5080 Mobile is a smart pick. You can save a bunch of cash without losing too much performance.
