After Nvidia enthusiastically announced the GeForce RTX 50 at CES, the BenchLeaks profile leaked the first tests of the RTX 5090 for laptops on the X social network (Formerly Twitter). The tests were run on Geekbench using an MSI Vector 17 HX AI laptop and revealed very disappointing results.
These benchmarks were run with the Vulkan API and hit a ceiling of 114,821 points; This value was well below the 167,000 points that the GeForce RTX 4090 laptop could achieve. The 46% difference between the two high-end models caused concern among some users eager for the launch.
The testing situation is so bad that even the RTX 4080 mobile phone reached 145 thousand points in the tests. Comparisons were carried out in several rounds with different scores; The highest score reached 114 thousand points and the lowest score reached only 51,831 points.
Poor performance can be explained
With such inconsistent values, it’s easy to point out that something in these benchmarks isn’t right. The first point that draws attention is that even the official drivers of RTX 50 laptops have not been published, which may negatively affect the chip performance in such tests.
The second reason is that the recently announced Intel Core Ultra 9 processor also needs to mature with its drivers and updates. Since it’s essentially a laptop, it’s hard to know whether the lack of performance is due to components or issues with the laptop itself, which may be outdated.
Therefore, although the results are quite disappointing, there is no reason to despair or criticize in advance just yet. The first laptops with RTX 5090 are starting to reach the international market in the first quarter of the year, but availability varies depending on each manufacturer.
