Two laptops with the same RTX GPU can run it at very different power levels, and that changes performance. This database lists the maximum GPU power (TGP) for 239 RTX 50-series laptop configurations across 114 models from ASUS, Acer, Gigabyte, Lenovo, MSI and Razer, taken from the manufacturers’ own spec sheets. Most RTX 5060 and RTX 5070 laptops here are rated at up to 115 W, but thin models such as the ASUS Zephyrus G14 and Lenovo Yoga Pro 9 stop at 100 W, budget Acer Nitro V and Gigabyte models run the RTX 5070 at 75 to 95 W, and the RTX 5080 ranges from 115 W to 175 W depending on the laptop.

How we put this together: every figure comes from a manufacturer source (the official GPU power lists from ASUS and Acer, Lenovo’s PSREF spec sheets, and Razer’s, MSI’s and Gigabyte’s product pages), linked in each row. It is not based on hands-on testing by iTech Level. Last updated October 7, 2026. Dell and HP don’t publish GPU-only power figures, so they aren’t included; see the methodology and update log below.

GPU power range by GPU

Ranges cover the laptops in this database only; some laptops outside it may go lower. See our best RTX 5070 laptops for full-power picks.

The database

Filter by GPU or brand, search for a model, or click a column heading to sort. “Max GPU power” includes Dynamic Boost where the manufacturer states it. A figure marked * is one “up to” number the maker gives for the whole model, not for each GPU.

What the data shows

• Thin laptops trade power for size. The 14-inch ASUS Zephyrus G14 runs the RTX 5070 at up to 100 W, against 115 W in the cheaper ASUS TUF Gaming A16 and F16. Acer’s 14-inch Nitro V 14 AI runs its RTX 5050 and RTX 5060 at 60 W.
• Budget laptops split in two. ASUS’s TUF Gaming A16, F16 and A18 and Lenovo’s LOQ 17 run the RTX 5050, 5060 and 5070 at up to 115 W, the same as pricier models. Acer’s Nitro V range runs them at 60 to 95 W, and Gigabyte rates most of its Gaming A16 and A18 models and the AERO X16 at up to 85 W. MSI’s Cyborg range has the widest spread: the Cyborg 15 and 17 B2RW run the RTX 5050, 5060 and 5070 at just 45, 55 and 60 W, the lowest figures in the database, the Cyborg 15 C13WX and C2WX at 70 W, and the Cyborg 15 MAX at 100 W. All 18 RTX 5070 configurations below 100 W in the database are Acer Nitro V, Gigabyte or MSI Cyborg models.
• Newer isn’t always more powerful. Acer’s 2026 Nitro V models are rated lower than the 2025 ones: the RTX 5070 in the Nitro V 16 drops from 95 W (ANV16-72) to 75 W (ANV16-I31), and in the Nitro V 16 AI from 95 W to 85 W.
• Check the exact model code. Lenovo’s 2025 LOQ 15 (15IRX10 and 15AHP10) runs the RTX 5050 and 5060 at 100 W, though the Intel 15IRX10’s RTX 5070 option gets 115 W, while the 2026 LOQ 15AHP11 runs all three at 115 W.
• Creator laptops are tuned for quiet. Lenovo’s Yoga Pro 9 caps the RTX 5050, 5060 and 5070 at 100 W.
• The RTX 5080 varies most. Sixteen configurations run it at up to 175 W, including MSI’s Raider and Titan models, the AORUS Master 16 and the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 AI. MSI’s thinner Stealth 18 HX gets 150 W, its Stealth 16 AI+ 125 W, the Zephyrus G14 120 W, and Acer’s slim Predator Helios Neo 16S AI and Gigabyte’s Gaming A16 PRO and A18 PRO 115 W: a 60 W gap for the same GPU name.
• Same chip, more memory. Lenovo lists 8GB and 12GB versions of the RTX 5070 in several Legion and LOQ models, both at 115 W. Nvidia added the 12GB RTX 5070 laptop GPU in April 2026 (Notebookcheck).

Watch: same GPU, different power, in 5 minutes

Prefer video? Our 5-minute walkthrough shows what these numbers mean in practice, using the database as it stood on October 8, 2026 (239 configurations). The table above is the up-to-date version.

What is TGP, and how much does it matter?

TGP (total graphics power) is the power budget a laptop maker gives the graphics chip. Nvidia lets makers set it within a range for each GPU and add Dynamic Boost, which shifts extra power from the processor to the GPU when the processor isn’t busy. For example, the RTX 5070 laptop GPU can be configured up to 100 W plus Dynamic Boost, and the RTX 5070 Ti between 60 and 115 W plus up to 25 W of Dynamic Boost (Notebookcheck).

More power generally means higher frame rates, especially at 1440p, but the gain shrinks as you go up, and cooling matters too. A 10–15 W difference is modest; a heavily limited GPU is a bigger deal. In Notebookcheck’s first tests, an 85 W RTX 5070 was only slightly ahead of the previous RTX 4070 laptop GPU. Lower power isn’t all bad: it usually means a quieter, cooler and lighter laptop.

How to check a laptop’s GPU power before you buy

• Look up the exact model code (for example 16IRX10 or GA403UP), not just the series name. Different versions of the same laptop can have different power limits.
• Use the manufacturer’s spec sheet: ASUS and Acer publish complete GPU power lists, and Lenovo’s PSREF sheets are just as detailed; Razer, MSI and Gigabyte list it on product pages. Dell doesn’t publish it, and HP lists only total platform power (CPU and GPU combined), which isn’t the same thing.
• Retail listings rarely show it. If a listing doesn’t mention TGP or “maximum graphics power”, check the model code here or on the maker’s site.
• On a laptop you own, the NVIDIA Control Panel’s System Information panel shows the GPU’s maximum graphics power.

Methodology and update log

• Sources: ASUS’s “complete list of GeForce GPU power specifications for 2025 ROG and TUF Gaming laptops”; Acer’s “Predator and Nitro Gaming Laptop GPU Power Specifications” (2025 and 2026 models); Lenovo PSREF spec sheets for 2025–2026 Legion, LOQ and Yoga Pro models; Razer, MSI and Gigabyte US product and spec pages. Each row links to its source.
• What “max GPU power” means: the highest GPU power the maker states, including Dynamic Boost. ASUS also publishes base TGP and Dynamic Boost separately, shown in their own column. Where ASUS lists different figures for Turbo and Manual modes, we use the higher, Manual-mode figure. Acer’s figures are with Turbo Mode on, and Acer also lists base TGP and Dynamic Boost.
• Model-wide figures (*): for some Gigabyte laptops the only official figure is one “up to X W Max TGP” for the whole model. We show it for each GPU option and mark it with *; the lower GPU options may run below it.
• Video memory: taken from the source where stated; otherwise Nvidia’s standard for that GPU. The RTX 5070 exists with 8GB or 12GB.
• Not stated: where a maker gives one figure for a group of GPUs that can’t apply to all of them (Razer Blade 18’s RTX 5070 Ti), we leave it blank rather than guess.
• Coverage: MSI states GPU power on the US spec pages of 17 of its 38 current RTX 50 models. For the Cyborg 15 and 17 B2RW, sold in the US, the figures come from MSI’s global spec pages, since the US pages list none. The rest show only the GPU (or total CPU+GPU power), so they aren’t included. ASUS hasn’t published a 2026 list yet. Dell/Alienware and HP aren’t included because they don’t publish GPU-only power figures (we checked Dell’s owner’s manuals and store pages, and HP’s spec sheets and product pages).
• October 4, 2026: first version: 207 configurations across 98 models from ASUS, Acer, Lenovo, Gigabyte/AORUS, Razer and MSI.
• October 5, 2026: added MSI’s US lineup (35 configurations from 17 models, including the Cyborg, Crosshair, Raider, Stealth and Titan ranges), for 233 configurations across 112 models.
• October 6, 2026: added MSI’s Cyborg 15 and Cyborg 17 B2RW (+6 configurations), which run the RTX 5060 at 55 W, for 239 configurations across 114 models.
• October 7, 2026: added a CSV download (CC BY 4.0), a sort menu, a shorter mobile view and a TGP definition. No data changes.
