Very fine print: ($1,299 after 1 year of product being on sale) probably.

Unfortunately, they DID mention this was the base price at launch (in March 2025).
Don’t expect the 40 Series to drop much after April due to high demand from creators needing laptops with high-end GPUs, especially those upgrading from integrated graphics models.

I’d love to see a 5070 laptop retail for $1,300.

More like $1,900 after AIB markups.

Haha, what a joke.

Don’t forget the incoming tariffs!

Tariffs and counter-tariffs will only add to the price. It’s going to be brutal.

In a year or two, maybe it’ll hit that price.
Nice if true… But the extra performance might mostly come from AI-enhanced frames. It’s like they’re layering one level of DLSS over another.
The prices are crazy, but let’s see how real-world reviews pan out.
Big, if true.
This sounds insane—almost too good to be true.
A 4090 is 50-60% faster than a 4070. Are they really saying a 50-60% gen-to-gen boost? Doubt it.

‘*GeForce RTX 5090, 4K, RT Overdrive, Max Settings, DLSS with Multi-Frame Generation (4X Mode), Ray Reconstruction, Super Resolution (Performance Mode).’
Found the catch! It’s heavily relying on DLSS4. The raw performance isn’t anywhere near that level.
@Parker
Yeah, it’s about a 20-30% raw performance jump. The DLSS4 trick is mainly useful for poorly optimized games. It’s still a nice jump, but not magic.

Agreed, 20-30% seems realistic. Here’s a link showing comparisons with DLSS4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWYbqOFyB5Q&t=1s
They also mention Nvidia Reflex 2, which might help with latency.
Read the fine print about the ‘4090 performance.’ It’s likely tied to DLSS and frame generation.
4090 performance (if you count AI-assisted frames and potential artifacting).
You can generate frames artificially with lossless scaling on a 4060 and get high frame rates too, but the experience won’t match a 4090. There’s often jitter and visible artifacts, which aren’t ideal for most players.
Jensen emphasized the AI aspect heavily. Take this news with a grain of salt until proper reviews come in.
No way.
4090 performance from a 5070? Sounds unrealistic based on the specs.
