NVIDIA GeForce MX570 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains a single direct head-to-head comparison between these two mobile graphics processors, and the result is decisively one-sided. In the Geekbench OpenCL compute test, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile scores 201,834 points against 38,299 points for the NVIDIA GeForce MX570. That is a delta of 427%, meaning the RTX 5090 Mobile delivers more than five times the raw compute throughput in this particular workload. There are no other shared benchmark results in the database, so the entire competitive picture rests on this one measurement, but the margin is so large that it sets the tone for every other comparison.

Looking at the broader average benchmark scores reinforces the gap. The RTX 5090 Mobile carries an average benchmark score of 45,152 across all recorded tests, while the MX570 has an average of 38,299 based on its sole entry. The RTX 5090 Mobile sits in the 84th percentile of all GPUs in the database, whereas the MX570 sits in the 81st percentile. Despite the enormous OpenCL delta, the percentile gap is narrower, which suggests that the MX570's single result still places it respectably among the wider population of graphics cards. However, the direct comparison between the two is unambiguous: the RTX 5090 Mobile is the dominant part.

The RTX 5090 Mobile's nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT at 45,384 average score (0.5% behind the RTX 5090 Mobile), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti at 44,795 (0.8% ahead of the 5090 Mobile), the Intel Arc A730M at 45,592 (1% behind), and the NVIDIA RTX 5880 Ada Generation at 45,972 (1.8% behind). These are all within roughly two percentage points of the RTX 5090 Mobile's average, meaning it competes in a tightly packed performance tier. The MX570's nearest rivals tell a different story: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Mobile at 38,349 (0.1% behind the MX570), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile at 38,135 (0.4% ahead), the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 A at 38,691 (1% behind), and the AMD Radeon Pro 580X at 38,706 (1.1% behind). The MX570 is clustered with a much lower-performing group, which makes sense given its position in the product stack.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 5090 Mobile wins the only shared benchmark, and it wins by a staggering margin. In Geekbench OpenCL, a test that exercises general-purpose GPU compute across a wide range of operations, the 5090 Mobile's 201,834 points dwarf the MX570's 38,299. This is not a close contest, and the result indicates that any workload relying on parallel floating-point throughput will heavily favor the 5090 Mobile. OpenCL performance is often used as a proxy for content creation tasks, physics simulations, and other non-gaming compute, so the implication is broad.

The MX570 does not win any head-to-head benchmark in the database. Its single recorded result is the OpenCL test, and it loses that one. However, the MX570's percentile placement at 81 suggests that it is not a weak part in absolute terms, it simply sits in a different performance class. For users whose workloads are modest, the MX570 may still be adequate, but the data does not show any scenario where it beats the RTX 5090 Mobile. The RTX 5090 Mobile also has a much richer benchmark profile: it has recorded scores in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, Geekbench Vulkan, and multiple Passmark tests (DirectX 9, 10, 11, 12, G2D, G3D, and GPU compute). The MX570 has no entries in any of those tests, so there is no evidence of where it might excel beyond the OpenCL result that it loses.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different NVIDIA generations and use fundamentally different underlying designs. The RTX 5090 Mobile is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with the GB203 chip, while the MX570 uses the Ampere architecture with the GA107S chip. The process nodes differ as well: the RTX 5090 Mobile is fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC, while the MX570 uses an 8 nm process at Samsung. This is a significant generational leap, and it shows in the transistor counts. The RTX 5090 Mobile packs 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 120.6 million per mm². The MX570 has 8,700 million transistors on a 200 mm² die, for a density of 43.5 million per mm². The newer process and larger die allow the RTX 5090 Mobile to fit more than five times the transistor count.

The memory architectures are also from different eras. The RTX 5090 Mobile uses 24 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256 bit bus, delivering 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The MX570 uses 2 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 64 bit bus, with 96.00 GB/s of bandwidth. That is a nearly tenfold difference in memory bandwidth, which matters for texture-heavy workloads, high resolutions, and large datasets. The RTX 5090 Mobile also has far more execution resources: 10,496 shading units, 328 texture mapping units, 112 ROPs, 82 ray tracing cores, and 328 tensor cores. The MX570 has 2,048 shading units, 64 TMUs, 32 ROPs, 16 ray tracing cores, and 64 tensor cores. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API-level feature support is identical even though the hardware underneath is vastly different.

Specification Differences

The clock speeds differ in both base and boost behavior. The RTX 5090 Mobile has a base clock of 990 MHz and a boost clock of 1515 MHz, while the MX570 runs at 832 MHz base and 1155 MHz boost. The memory clocks are also different: the RTX 5090 Mobile's memory runs at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective speed, while the MX570's memory runs at 1500 MHz with 12 Gbps effective. The RTX 5090 Mobile's pixel rate is 169.7 GPixel/s and its texture rate is 496.9 GTexel/s, compared to 36.96 GPixel/s and 73.92 GTexel/s for the MX570. Floating-point throughput is 31.80 TFLOPS for the RTX 5090 Mobile in both FP32 and FP16 (1:1), while the MX570 manages 4.731 TFLOPS in both precisions.

Power consumption is a major differentiator. The RTX 5090 Mobile has a TDP of 95 W, while the MX570 is rated at just 15 W. Both are integrated into the laptop as IGP-style parts with no power connectors and portable-device-dependent display outputs, but the thermal and power envelopes are entirely different. The bus interface also differs: the RTX 5090 Mobile uses PCIe 5.0 x16, while the MX570 uses PCIe 4.0 x8. The production status differs too, the RTX 5090 Mobile is listed as Active, while the MX570 is End-of-life. The RTX 5090 Mobile was released on 2025-03-26, and the MX570 on 2021-12-16. The RTX 5090 Mobile's predecessor is the GeForce 40 Mobile series, while the MX570 has no listed predecessor. Neither part has a launch MSRP in the database.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear conclusion: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile is the far more capable part, and the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 is a lower-tier option from an older generation. The 427% OpenCL delta is the defining statistic. Anyone choosing between these two for compute-heavy work, modern gaming, or content creation should select the RTX 5090 Mobile without hesitation. It has more memory, more bandwidth, more shading units, more ray tracing cores, more tensor cores, and a newer architecture on a smaller process node. Its 84th percentile placement and average score of 45,152 place it alongside desktop-class parts like the RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 5880 Ada Generation, which are within one to two percent of its average score.

The MX570, despite its 81st percentile placement, is in a completely different league. Its nearest rivals are the RTX 5080 Mobile and RTX 4080 Mobile, both of which are within one percent of its average score of 38,299. That is a respectable position for a low-power part, but it cannot compete with the RTX 5090 Mobile. The MX570's 15 W TDP makes it suitable for thin-and-light laptops where battery life and thermals are priorities, and its 2 GB of GDDR6 memory is enough for basic display output and light GPU acceleration. But for any workload that stresses the GPU, the RTX 5090 Mobile is the only rational choice.

The production statuses reinforce the recommendation. The RTX 5090 Mobile is Active and current, while the MX570 is End-of-life. The RTX 5090 Mobile also has a successor path from the GeForce 40 Mobile series, whereas the MX570 has no predecessor listed and is at the end of its cycle. Buyers looking for longevity should favor the newer part. The verdict is straightforward: pick the RTX 5090 Mobile if performance matters, pick the MX570 only if absolute power efficiency and minimal heat output are non-negotiable constraints. The benchmark data does not support any other conclusion.
