Fragz' verdict
The RTX 5090 has the higher GPU score, with a 224.1 % lead over the RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU. When you look at heavy rendering passes in Vulkan, DX12, and DX12 Ultimate, the RTX 5090 provides much higher FPS, meaning the card copes better with heavy graphics in those APIs. You get more raw compute from the RTX 5090 via the ALU index, which is the muscle behind shaders and effects, while its 649 GB/s memory bandwidth allows it to move data in its own memory faster than the 163 GB/s seen on the laptop chip. The RTX 5090 also offers 31 GB of VRAM for large textures and high resolution, compared to the 12 GB on the RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU. The RTX 5090 is highest in every performance test we ran.

What the numbers mean
The headline score is the part's best measured run, and the measurements under it come from that same run. It shows what the part has been proven to do — not what an average rig gets out of it. The GPU score is the graphics card's own performance — that is what we rank on. GAMING is the whole rig's score in the best PC we measured the card in, and depends on processor, memory and storage. We show both and never mix them.
All numbers come from our benchmark suite: four hand-built 3D scenes written directly against the graphics APIs in Rust, the same load on every PC. The methodology is open at https://whatfps.com/metodik
