A new leak has shed light on just about every Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 series laptop GPU. The GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 will come with the same amount of VRAM, as will the RTX 5070, RTX 5060 and RTX 5050.

A premature gaming PC listing outed the specs of Nvidia's upcoming GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 desktop GPUs. Now, it is their laptop counterparts' turn. Videocardz and X user @94G8LA found a bunch of listings that shed light on Asus' 2025 offerings and how much VRAM Nvidia's next-gen offerings will pack. There seems to be GDDR7 memory across the board, at least for the top three SKUs. Unlike its desktop counterpart, the GeForce RTX 5090 will not get a bump in video memory this time.

The ROG Strix Scar 18 comes in two variants (G835LX and G835LW). For the CPU, users can pick between a Core Ultra 9 285 HX or Core Ultra 9 275 HX. Judging by their name, they appear to be Arrow Lake-HX parts revealed by an earlier leak. GPU choices range between the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 (16 GB VRAM) and the GeForce RTX 5080. The ROG Strix G16 (G615LR), on the other hand, uses the same CPUs but is limited to be GeForce RTX 5080 and GeForce RTX 5070 Ti (12 GB). @94G8LA was also nice enough to post an entire SKU list that shed light on the specs of each Asus laptop set to be unveiled in the near future.

First off, it confirms numerous leaks about the Asus ROG Flow Z13 tablet coming with AMD's Strix Halo-based Ryzen AI 9 Max+ 395, complete with 32 GB of soldered LPDDR6X-8000 RAM. It also features a 13-inch 16:10 OLED screen clocked at 180 Hz, which is nice.

Then we see a couple of mystery Intel and AMD offerings with the same memory, and also get our first look at the lower end of the GeForce RTX 50 series laptop SKUs. Interestingly, the GeForce RTX 5070, GeForce RTX 5060 and GeForce RTX 5050 will all launch with 8 GB VRAM. Not ideal because this will confuse many end users.

Another noteworthy thing is the presence of AMD Ryzen 7000 HX processors, specifically the Ryzen 9 7945HX and Ryzen 9 7940 HX. This indirectly tells us AMD has no Ryzen 9000 HX parts planned this time around, or that they won't be featured on Asus laptops.
