NVIDIA is promising some monster gains from its new flagship graphics card, the GeForce RTX 5090. That's especially true if taking advantage of a new DLSS implementation, DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, which is a whole topic in and of itself.

Arguably the biggest announcement at CES 2025 was NVIDIA's debut of the GeForce RTX 50 series, led by the flagship GeForce RTX 5090.

It's been a consistent refrain even before the "Arc" branding was announced: "Intel is going to exit the GPU market!"

The market for comparatively affordable GPUs is absolutely ravenous and proof of this is in the pudding.

Gaming laptops have become highly competent machines that can compete with some high-end desktops. Thanks to GPUs such as NVIDIA's flagship (for a little while longer) mobile GeForce RTX 4090, performance can be reasonably close to desktop GeForce RTX 4070 Ti levels.

There are multiple reasons to think that discrete graphics cards would see a decline in shipments during this time of the year, such as typical seasonality and this being the tail-end of the current generation product cycle for AMD (Radeon RX 7000 series), NVIDIA (GeForce RTX 40 series), and Intel (Arc A-series)...

Laptops with AMD graphics may be few and far between, but that's partially because AMD simply hasn't had many current-generation GPUs to offer laptop vendors. Until recently, it was basically the entry-level Radeon RX 7600M family or the top-end Radeon RX 7900M—essentially a Radeon RX 7900 GRE in mobile form.
