Gigabyte AORUS MASTER 18 Core Ultra 9 275HX RTX 5090 Gaming Laptop Review

Gaming Performance

Gaming performance is a key feature here, given that this is a gaming laptop sporting an RTX 5090. Sure, it’s not the same RTX 5090 we see in desktop GPUs, but it’s still the most powerful consumer graphics card ever put in a laptop. Furthermore, it’s by far the most powerful laptop I’ve ever tested. So, no mucking about, I set Spider-Man to completely maxed out, fully ratraced and with no upscaling or frame gen, and it easily crushed it, averaging around 90 FPS in the city.

With frame gen and DLSS quality enabled, it scored 180-190 FPS, meaning gameplay was silky smooth. You could possibly max out the 240Hz display if you drop some of the more CPU-intensive settings, but honestly, you really only benefit from such fast frame rates in more competitive titles. Playing Rocket League, CS:GO, or any other fast-paced and less demanding title, you can push that ultra-fast refresh rate to its limits.

I had to max out Cyberpunk 2077, fully path-traced, ultra settings, and no frame gen or scaling. Honestly, at 24 FPS, I am impressed. I thought it would be half that, as maxing this game is no joke.

Of course, with recommended scaling and some frame generation, I was getting 58 FPS on average. That’s really impressive for this resolution, fully psycho levels of ray and path tracing, not bad at all.

And with Ray Tracing turned off, that shot up to around 130-140 FPS. If we can get those figures on this game, it’ll be easy to run any damn thing you throw at it.
