That NVIDIA has outdone itself with the latest generation of graphics cards is undeniableand the latest example is found in the GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile, further proof that even if they are still limited by the limitations of notebooks (consumption, temperature, legal regulations, etc.), its chips based on the Ada Lovelace architecture Whether they are built into a desktop computer or graphics notebook adapters, provide exceptional performance.

Comparing the generations, we told you just a few days ago that the GeForce RTX 4060 for notebooks has up to 65% more performance than the RTX 3060, which is a huge leap in performance, to which we must also add other advantages that come from all the software developed by NVIDIA to make the most of its graphics specs and features, such as improved intelligent scaling and image generation, both thanks to DLSS 3.

It’s even more impressive to know now a laptop chip can boost performance to the absolute top of the previous generation desktop lineup. At this point, we need to remind ourselves again that although desktop and laptop graphics share the same nomenclature, they are obviously different chips, just as in many ways we cannot compare a laptop to a desktop. We can’t sanely expect the same performance from an integrated chip in a laptop as we can from a graphics card that’s the same size and uses more power than said laptop, can we?

Therefore, the most common are the comparisons of the format I mentioned above, RTX 4060 Mobile vs RTX 3060 Mobile and the like, because they allow us to assign a refined quantitative value to the intergenerational development. However, it is also interesting to establish other comparisons, as they help us understand even more the value of the qualitative leap. In this context, such a test makes a lot of sense.

So as we can read in the Vccfts, the overclocked GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile was able to outperform the desktop RTX 3090 Ti. Recall that the RTX 3090 Ti is the top of the line of the previous generation with the following specifications:

• GA102 GPU made with 8nm process.
• 10,752 shaders.
• 336 texturing units.
• 112 raster units.
• 336 tensor kernels.
• 84 RT cores.
• 384-bit bus.
• 24 GB of GDDR6X memory at 21 Gbps.
• Bandwidth 1018 TB/s.
• Performance in FP32: 40 TFLOPs.
• TGP: 450 watts.

So we are talking about a graphics card that has earned the nickname “The Beast” thanks to its specifications and performance.

As we can read in the mentioned publication, Reddit user u/Kelzs decided to maximize the performance of the Razer Blade 18, one of the systems included in the GeForce RTX 40 Studio family. For this purpose, he used MSI Afterburner, one of the reference applications in the world of overclocking. graphics cards, whether desktop or laptop. With this application, he was able to increase the clock frequency of the RTX 4090 Mobile by +250 megahertz, for which the cooling system of the Razer notebook was the key.

So when the system was stable after the modification, he proceeded to measure its performance 3DMark Time Spy, which awarded it no less than 20,960 points, which puts it above the desktop RTX 3090 Ti. Of course, it is not recommended for all users, for all laptops or for all uses, but it is a very interesting test of how far this new generation of graphics adapters can go, which has the GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile at its peak performance. .
