The HP OMEN MAX 16 is available with the following discrete GPUs:

• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU 8GB GDDR7 (unknown TGP)
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU 8GB GDDR7 (unknown TGP)
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU 12GB GDDR7 (unknown TGP)
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU 16GB GDDR7 (175W TGP)
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU 24GB GDDR7 (175W TGP, Core Ultra 9 only)

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50-series Laptop GPUs are largely an incremental upgrade to the 40-series GPUs, providing only a minor increase in raw performance. Other than quality improvements to existing features like Super Resolution (upscaling) and Ray Reconstruction, the only new feature exclusive to the 50-series is Multi-Frame Generation (MFG). MFG allows the GPU to generate up to three frames per rendered frame (up from one on the 40-series GPUs), resulting in higher frame rates and smoother gameplay in supported games. That said, at the time of writing, MFG is still in its early days. It often causes visual artifacts, especially in challenging scenes with heavy, more unpredictable movements, and it can cause noticeably higher latency.

As for the performance difference between the available GPUs, the RTX 5060 and 5070 are primarily for 1080p gaming. They can handle some games at 1440p, but with only 8GB of VRAM, you’ll likely experience stutters in demanding games. The RTX 5070 Ti, 5080, and 5090 are all suitable for gaming at the QHD+ resolution; the choice ultimately comes down to what kind of performance you expect and your budget.

HP doesn’t specify the TGP of the RTX 5060, 5070, and 5070 Ti, but based on the capability of the cooling system, they likely run at their maximum wattage, which means the RTX 5060 and 5070 would run at 115W, while the RTX 5070 Ti would run at 140W.
