RTX 500 Ada Laptop GPU: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

RTX 500 Ada Generation Laptop GPU — 22 games benchmarked at 1080p.

RTX 500 Ada Generation Laptop GPU — 22 games benchmarked at 1080p . This guide covers what the chip delivers in games, where it sits among mobile GPUs in 2026, and which laptops carry it.

The NVIDIA RTX 500 Ada Generation Laptop GPU is a 2023 entry professional card — a 35W Ada Lovelace part built for thin business workstations, remarkable for scoring well above its wattage class. This is a benchmark-only page: no laptop listing in the catalog currently matches this record, so the guide covers its 22 benchmarked games at 1080p (15 with medium-preset data) and where the chip fits.

Where the RTX 500 Ada Generation Laptop GPU sits in 2026

A catalog score of 62.6 ranks it 71st of 341 — the top quarter, which is startling for a 35W part. The neighbors: the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti (63.6), Radeon RX 7700S (63.2) and RTX 3050 desktop record (63.1) above; the RTX 3050 6GB Laptop (61.9), Quadro RTX 4000 Max-Q (61.8) and Radeon RX 7600S (61.6) below. Outscoring a full-power 2019 professional card from less than a quarter of the power budget is modern efficiency in one comparison.

What the chip brings

Ada Lovelace-class silicon on the 4nm process: 2048 CUDA cores rated at 8.3 teraflops — more rated compute than many 75W-class consumer parts — with 4GB of GDDR6, RT and tensor cores, CUDA, DLSS and Resizable BAR all flagged, inside a 35W envelope. Public benchmarks: Time Spy 5278, Fire Strike 14610, GeekBench Vulkan 55800 and OpenCL 58391 (no PassMark row for this record). The 4GB buffer is the one thin spot in an otherwise forward-looking specification.

FPS in games at 1080p

The high-preset table reads well above the chip's wattage: DOTA 2 Reborn at 146 fps, Far Cry 6 at 104 (126 on medium), F1 22 at 100 (134), The Witcher 3 at 91, F1 23 at 84 (120), Far Cry 5 at 78 (86), F1 25 at 74 (97), Total War Pharaoh at 73 (129), X-Plane at 67 (79) and Call of Duty MW3 2023 at 58 (78). The heavy block confirms the 4GB ceiling: Cyberpunk 2077 at 25 on high (38 on medium) and Baldur's Gate 3 at 39 (54). The pattern — strong rasterization, modest heavy-title headroom, generous medium gains — is exactly what a 35W Ada part should produce.

Bottom line

No catalog machine currently carries this record, so the page stands as a reference: what a 2023 35W professional GPU delivers. The answer is competitive — top-quarter ranking, esports and mid-tier AAA at 1080p, DLSS to stretch the 4GB buffer, all in a power budget that fits fanless-adjacent chassis. Shoppers who encounter the RTX 500 Ada in a thin business workstation listing can use this table as the honest expectation: a capable light-gaming chip that sips power, with the newest heavy titles needing medium settings to stay comfortable.
