![]() One of the biggest advantages of the 4000 series of GPUs is that it supports DLSS 3.0. Right? My Predator Triton 500 has a 230 W power supply, and at load will draw nearly all of it. There’s no way this thing is gonna deliver. This is a tremendous amount of power but how does it translate to actual gaming? Would this be a GPU that would greatly lean on NVIDIA’s DLSS 3 to hit the high marks, or would the 304 Tensor Cores, 76 RT cores, Ada Lovelace architecture deliver the sort of power you’d expect from a 4000 series GPU, and what sort of portable generator and turbine fan would you need to power and cool it? That’s when I saw that this GPU only uses 80 watts of power (well, more accurately, it can go as low as 80, with 115+25W for “Balanced” mode, and 150+25W for flat out on the Razer device). The GPU operates at a base frequency of 930 MHz, with a boost at 1455 MHz, and memory running at 1750 MHz. It is based on the AD103 graphics processor, sporting 9728 cores, 16GB of GDDR6 memory, and operating on a 256-bit bus width. A quick peek under the hood of the laptop version of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is revealing. I’ve reviewed the PC version (along with the rest of the line), so I knew that the laptop version of the RTX 4090 would be powerful, but with what tradeoffs? I got my hands on Razer’s new Razer Blade 16 with the intent of finding out precisely that.įirst and foremost, I’m not reviewing the Razer Blade 16 here – this is purely a deep dive into why anyone would need something like a mobile version of an RTX 4090. When I saw some PCs shipping with two power bricks, I was terrified at what we’d be looking at for an RTX 4090. There’s always a tradeoff between performance, heat, power usage, and price that always stands heavily on that latter part of the scale. Also inevitably, there ends up being a class of videocards that I often skip – the mobile versions. It’s the nature of working with a new generation of videocards that you end up watching literally days worth of benchmarks over and over as you really plumb the depth of the capabilities of a new piece of technology. ![]() ![]() I’ve spent a great deal of time looking at benchmarks lately. ![]()
