The RTX 4090 is considered the best when it comes to desktop GPUs. The RTX 4090 for laptops looks to repeat this trend but for mobile devices, it has eschewed in a new generation of very premium gaming laptops that carry a price tag to match Nvidia's fastest Laptop-grade GPU. At the same time, gaming laptops that offer an RTX 4090 tend to also be the highest-end laptops for productivity, nearly always having a high-end or highest-end mobile CPU and supporting hardware baked in making it a great choice for gamers, professionals, and enthusiasts alike.

What Makes An RTX 4090 Laptop Unique?

The answer is both straightforward and one that you can write a story about depending on what you wish to focus on. The RTX 4090 Laptop GPU is currently by far the fastest mobile GPU money can buy in any laptop SKU. It happens to offer not only best-in-class performance versus any competing GPU offerings, including lower-end RTX 4000 GPUs as well as the entire RTX 3000 series lineup but also significant efficiency gains versus the latter.

Nvidia RTX 4090 Laptop

The Nvidia RTX 4090 Laptop GPU relative to the previous generation high-end Nvidia Laptop GPU offerings

To achieve this, it leverages its large gains on DLSS 3.0 (and more recently, DLSS 3.5), a smaller process node (5nm vs 8nm last generation), and a significantly larger die in terms of transistor count (smaller in actual size) and density while offering much more efficient performance than the competition from AMD as well as its last-generation GPUs.

How Fast Is An RTX 4090 Laptop GPU In Absolute Terms?

An RTX 4090 Laptop GPU has more in common with the RTX 4080 than the RTX 4090 when you look at desktop versions. It shares the same die and therefore the same die size and transistor count as the RTX 4080 desktop GPU. It does, however, have two crippling factors: it ships with slightly slower memory (18GBPS effective vs 22.4GBPS on the desktop chip), and significantly reduced total graphics power (TGP) relative to the desktop RTX 4080, capping out at 165W (150W default) versus the RTX 4080 that is rated for a TDP of 320W.

When naming GPUs, most brands usually use a mobile NVIDIA GPU or the letter M to denote the smaller form-factor version. This means that an RTX 4090m laptop is technically not the same as an RTX 4090 on a desktop but an RTX 4080. So the GeForce RTX 4090 on all desktops is not the same GPU chip installed on RTX 4090m gaming laptops.

In real terms, the RTX 4090 mobile's performance closely mimics an RTX 4070 desktop apart from the benefits of higher VRAM and can be compared to the RTX 3080 desktop in terms of raw rasterization potential before DLSS3 upscaling kicks in, swinging performance towards the RTX 4000 series thanks to its performance bias for the Ada Lovelace architecture.

Not all RTX 4090-based laptops perform the same way or cater to the same audience with some focusing on raw performance, others on form factor, and some on productivity-centric features, making this a difficult-to-navigate series of contenders. The team at TheBestWarGames takes a closer look at some of our best picks for gaming on a Laptop with an RTX 4090 in 2024 below:

Pros & Cons
  • Comes with the fastest laptop gaming CPU and GPU config (Ryzen 9 7945HX3D + RTX 4090)
  • Offers a decent amount of RAM and SSD storage
  • Has a decent 2K resolution display with a 240Hz refresh rate in tow
  • Consumes less power than its Intel-based alternatives while gaming
  • Priced better than most of its more premium-grade top-of-the-line alternatives
  • Has a dedicated MUX switch on offer
  • Has Per-key RGB on the keyboard with an extra RGB lighting layer under the chassis
  • Uses liquid metal as part of its cooling mechanism
  • It is less of a laptop and more of a desktop replacement
  • Has not gone on sale to date, making it a full MSRP purchase for gamers
  • Battery life is unimpressive
  • No USB 4 or Thunderbolt ports on offer

The ASUS ROG Scar 17 X3D happens to be one of the newer RTX 4090 gaming laptops in play thanks to its release in time to benefit from AMD's newest X3D CPUs that happen to be the fastest gaming-grade CPUs on Laptops and PCs alike. While the 16-core, 32-thread AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D CPU is no slouch in productivity workloads and benchmarks, it shines particularly in gaming thanks to AMD's 3D V-Cache tech allowing it to leverage an enlarged, superfast L3 cache.

It does quite well on the aesthetics front too, with the ROG logo prominently displayed in multiple areas of the laptop which offers a clean, professional look that exudes power. The AC adapter port along with the essentials one needs to set it up as a proper desktop replacement are all located at the back of the laptop.

The keyboard is a full-sized affair with a complete numpad on offer along with per-key RGB lighting for its chicklet keys with a comfortably large touchpad thrown into the mix. On the cooling end, while the Scar 17 X3D tends to run cooler thanks to its Zen 4-based CPU, ASUS has pulled out the stops to ensure it stays that way along with the RTX 4090, both of which get premium treatment thanks to Thermal Grizzly's Conductonaut Extreme on the latter along with a dedicated vapor chamber in tow.

All in, the ASUS ROG Scar 17 X3D is a complete package that has yet to see any major price cuts but remains one of, if not the fastest gaming laptops money can buy at a price tag that can arguably be called a bargain when compared to some of its more expensive peers in the RTX 4090 laptop category. It also comes with a complimentary 3-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription ($45 value) which should dull the blow slightly on one's wallet after purchasing one of the fastest gaming laptops money can buy in 2024.

The ASUS ROG Scar 17 X3D continues to hold its position as one of the fastest gaming laptops on offer currently. It also, slightly unfortunately holds to its sticker price quite firmly in a market where most of its competitors are regularly discounted, making it a gaming laptop that is hard to get at a discount, even in 2024.

Pros & Cons
  • Has an excellent 2K, 240Hz 'IPS-level' display
  • Has plenty of RAM and Storage thanks to 32GB in memory and 2TB in NVME storage
  • Comes with a top-of-the-line Intel Core i9 processor and the highest-end laptop variant of the RTX 4090 currently available
  • Offers Thunderbolt (USB 4) ports built into the laptop
  • Still somewhat more expensive versus competing RTX 4090 laptops
  • Runs loud with any workload/while gaming

The MSI Raider GE78 HX 17.3' Gaming Laptop is an excellent RTX 4090 laptop that focuses on the core needs of gaming in 2023 while toeing the trusted Intel CPU line which has dominated the gaming laptop market to date. With a powerful 24-core Intel Core i9-13980HX coupled with an RTX 4090, the Raider is pretty much one of your best options if you are looking to game and multiplayer gaming is a focus thanks to the 2K 240Hz IPS-line display in tow.

As with most RTX 4090 laptops, the Raider GE78 does trade at a significant premium, even for its specs, with cheaper options available that also come close. It does however outdo them by using a faster CPU to drive performance and offers meaningful upgrades in the storage and memory areas even if it does run somewhat louder than most of its competition under load.

If users need even more power than a laptop RTX 4090 chip can offer (equivalent to desktop RTX 4070TI or slightly slower), the included singular Thunderbolt 4 show allows users to add a more powerful eGPU down the line, making it a more viable desktop replacement choice than its peers.

With an excellent keyboard and plenty of RGB lighting in tow, MSI's Raider makes a compelling case for itself as a gaming laptop to consider for gamers looking for a well-rounded gaming device that does it all. It, however, continues to trade at a premium versus other RTX 4090 laptop variants at the time of writing, making it a slightly less appealing option compared to some of its more cost-effective peers.

Update: Users can also opt for a slightly souped up version of the MSI GE78 Raider that offers a higher-end 14th generation Core i9 CPU and twice the RAM (64GB) along with Wi-Fi 7 support for a similar price tag with other spec offerings remaining more or less intact. This makes it a better upgrade for 2024 and one that should be considered as a great alternative to the older 2024 GE78HX above unless the latter is available on sale.

Pros & Cons
  • Has an excellent Mini-LED display that offers a 2K resolution with a 240Hz refresh rate and 3ms response times
  • One of the cheapest RTX 4090 gaming laptops available when on sale
  • Has plenty of RAM and storage under the hood
  • Far thinner and lighter than its other RTX 4090-touting alternatives
  • Runs relatively quieter than its competition
  • The RTX 4090 in this SKU is limited to 120W power (145W with Dynamic boost) which makes it a slower gaming laptop compared to its peers
  • Comes with a considerable amount of ASUS bloatware preinstalled

The ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 offers up a 14-core Intel Core i9 13th-generation CPU that isn't the fastest laptop processor on the block but one that can handle its user's gaming needs fairly well. It bundles this with a decent dual channel config of 32GB DDR5 RAM coupled with 2TB of PCI-E 4.0 storage in tow with room for more expansion if needed.

It offers a sub-150W (120W+25W boost) RTX 4090 that is slightly slower than its peers on this guide but makes up for it by offering one of the most portable gaming laptops in a category where every other alternative is essentially a desktop replacement. This essentially makes it one of the most powerful, yet portable gaming laptops on offer in the 16' form factor. This advantage is further pressed thanks to it leveraging the ASUS Nebula HDR display which is a MINI LED panel offering a 2K resolution with 240 Hz refresh rates and a 3ms response time in tow.

While users might not like the slightly slower RTX 4090 on offer due to its power limitations coupled with ASUS adding on a significant amount of software bloat that becomes more visible given its slightly slower CPU than the other RTX-4090-touting ASUS offerings it draws comparisons against, others will find it a surprisingly refreshing take on a gaming laptop, bringing the RTX 4090 to a lower weight and dimensions class versus its competition and a price tag thanks to a sale at Best Buy that is considerably more digestible than its peers that oscillate closer to the $4000 mark late.

Pros & Cons
  • Features an excellent Mini-LED display that outdoes its competition while offering 240Hz refresh rates in tow
  • Offers an innovative design that has improved over the last few generations to add more utility
  • Excellent audio thanks to its 6-speaker array out of the box
  • Has suprisingly good thermals for a productivity-centric laptop
  • Slightly underperforms versus its immediate competition
  • Has somewhat limited battery life thanks to its dual display configuration
  • Lacks Thunderbolt 4 connectivity

The Asus Zephyrus Duo 16 is not a laptop you see every day and with good reason: It is an expensive take on a gaming laptop that somewhat limits the clock speeds of its RTX 4090 to get there. That doesn't mean it performs poorly, however, just that it isn't the fastest RTX 4090 laptop kid on the block. The Zephyrus Duo 16 is a dual-screen laptop that focuses on multitasking and productivity as a core play despite its gaming-centric badging and delivers on its promise with quality audio, excellent displays, and a full keyboard in tow if you need it.

It does also take a small hit in battery life to do so while remaining in a 16-inch spec thanks to its dual screens and slightly smaller battery just like its lower clocks keep it from pushing the same graphics performance some of the beefier laptops can deliver. Do note that the bulk of laptops we currently consider capable RTX 4090 performers sit mostly in the 17 or 18-inch range and have much more capable thermals in tow to ensure they can run at higher clocks longer without throttling, unlike the Zephyrus.

The Zephyrus Duo 16 isn't a performance disappointment; It has a very capable CPU and a GPU and delivers excellent performance versus the bulk of laptops it competes with. If you are looking for the fastest RTX 4090 laptop out there, the Zephyrus Duo 16 isn't it. But then it never professed to be. It is, however, a capable contender that can outdo its competition when it comes to productivity tasks if you need a second screen while trying to skip lugging around a second monitor or display option, making it worthy of your consideration if you game and work on the go.

The Duo currently trades at a sub $4000 price tag, making it costly for an RTX 4090 laptop but one of the only options in the market that offers two screens for added productivity, making it a unique proposition, but one that is important to consider for power users and users looking for a productivity-centric option in 2024.

Pros & Cons
  • Has an excellent 18-inch screen with a high resolution and refresh rate, allowing it to replace modern desktops
  • Packs in Intel's latest 14th generation Core i9 CPU
  • Has plenty of SSD storage onboard and acceptable RAM in play for a high-end PC
  • Offers significantly better audio than most of its competition in the same price range
  • Has a full-sized keyboard including a numpad that some power users might appreciate
  • Leverages liquid metal under the hood to keep thermals in control when unde rload
  • Its large size might be an issue when it comes to portability
  • Slightly more expensive than most of its peers with equivalent hardware under the hood

The 2024 model of the ASUS ROG Strix Scar 18 Gaming Laptop offers an upgraded 14th generation CPU, Nvidia's fastest mobile GPU to date, the RTX 4090 and one of the best 18-inch displays on the market in a sleek package that continues to make inroads when it comes to aesthetics.

With a full-sized per-key RGB chiclet keyboard that delivers a smooth experience to gamers and power users alike and a dedicated MUX Switch under the hood that allows for both, better performance when pushing the RTX 4090 to its limits and better power effiency when it is not in use, the Strix Scar 18 delivers a stable, powerful alternative to some of its peers without cutting corners.

At the same time, ASUS's push for better thermals spearheaded by it pushing for a tri-fan cooling system along with it harnessing Thermal Grizzly's Conductonaut, a liquid metal-based cooling solution allows it to keep things cooler and more performant versus the competition.

With 2TB of storage in play and 32GB of fast DDR5 RAM on offer, one can expect to not require an upgrade out of the box. For users who do however, ASUS does house an additional M2 slot under the hood, making an SSD upgrade a relatively simple process.

While the Scar 18 is costly compared to more entry-level units, it also happens to be cheaper than some of its other peers such as the Razer Blade 18 despite having similar specs and a slightly better CPU. This makes it a great choice if users need a larger screen and sustainable power while limiting the amount of premium one has to pay for the best performance they can ask for from a gaming laptop in 2024.

Pros & Cons
  • Excellent metal finish gives it an advantage versus comparable models thanks to its premium feel as it caters to the highest-end consumer markets
  • The 18-inch screen is excellent and makes the Blade 18 stand out versus the competition thanks to added screen real estate
  • Comes with a capable Intel Core i9 processor and the latest RTX 4090 GPU in tow
  • Offers Thunderbolt USB 4 for future eGPU upgrades
  • The thinner design does translate to weaker performance possibly due to thermal throttling versus some of its competitors
  • Seems to skip a numpad despite having plenty of space to fit in a full keyboard

The Razer Blade 18 isn't a typical gaming laptop. It is the pinnacle of what current cutting-edge technology looks like. It has the looks to match, going toe to toe, if not further than competing Apple MacBook Pros with ease in terms of its looks and design. There are reasons that the Blade is considered the Macbook equivalent for the PC market and a significant portion of them are the design choices that Razer has made along the way to ensure it is a fashion statement while hitting hard in the hardware department.

One small gripe with the Razer Blade 18 is the lack of a full keyboard, which seems to mainly be a purely aesthetic choice. At the same time, the 18-inch blade is much thinner and sleeker than its competition. Still, it does come at the cost of severe performance throttling thanks to thermal limitations that will make it significantly harder for you to get the best out of what is otherwise a very capable laptop.

The Razer Blade 18 does trade at a lower price than its previous MSRP. This is as Razer gears up to replace it with 14th-generation Intel-based CPU models with up to a 4K 165Hz display in tow. This does make it a great bargain to have in 2024, and one that holds its own, even against most 2024 models with ease.

While the RTX 4090's mobile version has largely gone unnoticed compared to its desktop variant that has strong underlying institutional demand from various countries due to its AI potential, the RTX 4090 laptops are mostly in stock and unaffected by shortages or price gouging primarily given their status as cutting edge portable devices that would be hard to justify in most data centers.

At the same time, a shortage of the desktop RTX 4090s does mean that the onus of satisfying a lot of consumer demand falls squarely on the desktop RTX 4080 and 4070TI as well as the laptop RTX 4090s, all of which as a result have seen price points barely move since the last few weeks.

With rumors of Nvidia pushing out the newer RTX 4000 Super Series soon, most gaming laptops should see price revisions as newer models come out accompanied by Intel's 14th-generation CPUs and potentially AMD's next-generation chips soon after. The RTX 4090 gaming laptops might be an outlier since there is no rumored upgrade to the RTX 4090 just yet and the current set of laptops might remain the ultimate mobile gaming options for the foreseeable future (with potential CPU upgrades down the line).

FAQ

Q: What is the fastest RTX 4090 Gaming Laptop Currently?

The fastest RTX 4090-based gaming laptop currently is the MSI Titan GT77 with the ROG Scar 18 pushing a close second thanks to its superior gaming performance.

Q: Is the RTX 4090 Laptop/Mobile The Same As An RTX 4090 Desktop?

No, the RTX 4090 Laptop/Mobile chip is comparable to a desktop RTX 4080 but comes with much more limited power in tow. It also is limited to 16GB of GDDR6 memory, unlike the desktop version that has 24GB of GDDR6X memory in play. Most laptops that feature an RTX 4090 are limited to 175W TGP (Total Graphics Power).
