How to choose a gaming laptop GPU
- Check the power limit (TGP). The same GPU name covers a wide range; the fastest laptops run near the top of it.
- Get at least 8 GB of video memory for 1080p, and 12 GB or more if the laptop has a 1440p or higher screen.
- Match the screen. A 1080p 144 Hz panel suits an RTX 5060 or 4060 Laptop; a 1440p 240 Hz panel needs an RTX 5070 Ti Laptop or faster.
- The CPU matters less than in desktops: any recent HX or H-series chip feeds mid-range laptop GPUs well.
