Gigabyte AORUS MASTER 18 Core Ultra 9 275HX RTX 5090 Gaming Laptop Review
Synthetic Performance
When it comes to performance, this laptop was never going to be slow, given that it’s sporting an RTX 5090 (well, the mobile equivalent of one) and a 24-core i9 processor. It burned through Time Spy Extreme, scoring very strongly. This gave us an estimate for strong gaming performance at 1440p. I tried Time Spy (non-extreme) and it scored 23985 points on the GPU score, which is about half that of a desktop 5090, which is to be expected given the form factor and power restrictions.
For Fire Strike Extreme, it’s no surprise we see a very high graphics and physics score.
PCMARK 10 Express held up great, but I think testing this laptop for productivity, browsing and video calls is a bit insulting, it obviously does daily tasks with ease.
Blender was a pleasant surprise, given the AMD CPU-powered RTX 5090 gaming PC we reviewed recently scored 150, 104 and 73, seeing a laptop crush that with 204, 131, and 98 is really impressive.
And of course, the GPU test was miles ahead of that, really no issues here at all.
Given I’ve seen a desktop 9800X3D score around 1350+, having a laptop push a whopping 1746pts shows you just how potent the 24-core i9 mobile CPU really is.
The system comes with two drives, each offering identical performance and easily maxing out the PCIe Gen4 speeds we were expecting to see. They can be run in RAID0 too, if you want to double that performance, but obviously, you’ll lose some capacity that way.
