In addition to the introduction of the GeForce RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti for desktop PCs, NVIDIA is also introducing its next small Blackwell mobile graphics card: the new GeForce RTX 5060 GPU is designed for a compact chassis with the full Blackwell feature set. In games, it should be at desktop level.
The GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU at a Glance
Notebooks with GeForce RTX 5060 GPUs appear as models with RTX 5070 notebook GPUs, according to NVIDIA in May.

The mobile variant offers fewer active units than the desktop variant (3,328 versus 3,840), but should be faster, despite the lower TDP.
The RTX 5060 also remains in the notebook with 8 GB of memory. Two years ago, this wasn’t always enough to play all current games in full HD with full detail.
Manufacturer benchmarks
The following chart compares the benchmarks provided by NVIDIA in advance for the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 laptop GPUs. The test was run in Full HD with “max settings,” DLSS Super Resolution “quality,” and “the maximum available frame generation level”—in both cases FG or MFG. The desktop used a Ryzen 7 9800x3d (test) as the CPU, and the notebook used an Intel Core Ultra 9 275hx (test).
The GeForce RTX 5060’s TDP is officially 145 watts; in the notebook, it would have been 100 watts (GPU TDP) in the benchmark—25 watts were likely added via Dynamic Boost 2.0. So, the duel was 145 versus 125 watts—if the notebook’s information includes the same hardware as the desktop’s. The statement is clear: the GeForce RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 laptop GPUs are in gaming performance, as long as the RTX 5060 laptop GPU operates at the higher TDP.
Prices and Dates
Notebooks with the GeForce RTX 5060 laptop GPU are expected to launch on May 1st before the tax year. The first models with the RTX 5070 laptop GPU can then also be expected, which differ only in the number of active drives, but not in terms of storage.
