I played Doom: The Dark Ages on RTX 5080 vs RTX 5070 Ti gaming laptops — and the results surprised me
I recently got my hands on an MSI Stealth A16 AI+ with an RTX 5070 Ti and an Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 with an RTX 5080, and there's no better way to put these gaming laptops to the test than by playing Doom: The Dark Ages — with the franchise having a solid history of delivering well-optimized PC games.
For the most part, that's true. Developers id Software and Nvidia teamed up to have the latest installment of the iconic first-person shooter be a flagship title of sorts for RTX 50 gaming PCs. However, Nvidia's Gamer Ready driver for Doom dropped, and there has already been a list of known issues for PCs (with fixes in the works).
Fortunately, I haven't experienced any freezes or crashes, so I was able to get on with all the ferocious and bullet hell-like action Doom: The Dark Ages throws at you. And what a blast it is.
There's no Path Tracing and DLSS Ray Reconstruction yet, as they are set to arrive sometime later, but you will find DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, ray tracing and Nvidia Reflex — and it all very much adds to the destruction and savagery our Doom Slayer stomps around in.
But the question is: how does it perform on an RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti gaming laptop? Very well, as you'd expect, but I've been surprised by the results.
Before getting into the results, here's a look at what's under the hood of the MSI Stealth A16 AI+ and Asus ROG Zephyrus G16.

Even by latest standards, these gaming laptops pack a mighty punch.
There's a difference in CPUs and GPUs here, with the Stealth A16 AI+ sporting an AMD Ryzen 9 HX 370 and the ROG Zephyrus G16 with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285H chip. Both are some of the top of their respected brands, and they pull their weight when it comes to heavy duty gaming tasks.
The RTX 5080 onboard the ROG Zephyrus G16 should pull off greater performance feats than the RTX 5070 Ti in the Stealth A16 AI+, but with the results I got, that isn't exactly the case.
Other than that, these 16-inch laptops share similar specs.
We've tested Doom: The Dark Ages on an RTX 5090 PC and saw amazing results in both its raw power and with DLSS turned on, as expected from a pricey GPU. Nvidia's RTX 50-series laptop GPUs won't ever reach those heights due to lower TDP and thermal constraints, but that doesn't mean they can't deliver great performance.
Set on Ultra Nightmare (the highest graphical settings) at 1600p, these laptops made Doom: The Dark Ages look absolutely stunning in all of its hellscape glory. From slicing demons in half with a buzzsaw shield to firing plasma rounds at soldiers with (terrible) shields only to see an eruption of blue sparks explode on display, everything is smooth and thrilling to look at.
Even with DLSS off, graphics looked gorgeous and frame rates were what I'd want from an optimized PC gaming experience. That's not to say a higher-end RTX 40-equipped gaming laptop wouldn't dish out the same numbers, but these rigs even without the aid of DLSS.
Anyway, despite enjoying my time on both laptops, I realized I was getting a similar experience. Using Nvidia's analytics overlay and Doom: The Dark Age's own logistics tool, the RTX 5070 Ti laptop saw an average 87 FPS without DLSS. That's impressive numbers for max graphical settings at 1600p, and that number jumped to a whopping 207 FPS with DLSS multi frame gen x4.
Moving to the RTX 5080 laptop, I saw an average of 95 FPS with DLSS off, and up to 221 FPS with DLSS x4.

Having anything over 120 FPS for a single-player experience (I'm even satisfied at over 60 FPS) is superb, even if the differences are negligible. But over 200 FPS? That's wild. However, even though the RTX 5080 clearly comes on top, it's equally clearly not by much.
I checked if there was something the ROG Zephyrus G16 had switched on that was making the smaller gap, but all settings were the same. Sure, it packs a lot of power, but so too does the RTX 5070 Ti — and not by much less.
Of course, gaming laptops all come with different configurations and builds, so even if they offer the same specs, they may offer slightly differing performance. That's all to say that the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 with an RTX 5080 may be slacking a tad, as the MSI Stealth A16 AI+ with the RTX 5070 Ti isn't too far behind when it comes to Doom: The Dark Ages.
Both deliver the latest graphics potential for the game that's made to be optimized using Nvidia's graphics cards, and it's a stunning ride. However, it's clear that even the RTX 5070 Ti has a lot going for it. I don't know about you, but I'd opt for a gaming laptop, delivering that kind of performance, that's around $700 cheaper compared to a slightly more powerful notebook.
That said, as you'll find in my Stealth A16 AI+ hands-on, this machine can make a lot of racket, especially when compared to the ROG Zephyrus G16.
Regardless, if you're after the latest in graphics with a bunch of demons to obliterate, whether it be on a laptop or gaming PC, you'll get a kick (and shield saw) out of playing Doom: The Dark Ages with an RTX 50-series GPU.

Top analyst revamps Nvidia price target for one surprising reason
Top analyst revamps Nvidia price target for one surprising reason originally appeared on TheStreet. Nvidia () has shrugged off broader market jitters and become one of this year's biggest stock market winners. Its ubiquitous GPUs have been the gold standard in powering AI breakthroughs, making it a must-have for chip stock investors. 💵💰💰💵 Moreover, despite hitting record highs this year, Nvidia still has plenty of gas left in the tank. As we look ahead, it's gearing up to roll out its next-gen GPU system, separating itself further in the data-center space. If all goes to plan, the chip king's grip on AI could tighten, and with fresh nods of approval, the runway's looking long. It's fair to call Nvidia's GPU lineup a string of mini revolutions, with each chip line outdoing the last by a country mile. It started with Ampere, a massive step-up in performance-per-watt lift and beefed-up Tensor cores. Ampere was a smash hit with the hyperscalers, who looked to power everything from recommendation engines to early AI proofs of concept. Then we had Hopper. Nvidia packed in a special Transformer Engine, boosted NVLink speed, and tweaked its chips so LLMs could train quicker without blowing the budget. Hopper cemented Nvidia's spot as the top dog, both in research labs and mega-scale data centers. Next came Blackwell Ultra, which turned the game around with smarter data handling, faster memory, and techniques to cut we saw generative AI come into its own with real-time video, big simulations, and instant data crunching. Now, there's Rubin, Blackwell's successor, which claims to be 3.3× faster. That leap isn't the usual clock-speed bump, but it means you can cram way more AI workloads into the same rack. Its next-generation Tensor cores, high-bandwidth memory interface, and liquid-cooled design let companies run multiple models simultaneously. More Tech Stock News: Veteran Tesla bull drops surprising 3-word verdict on robotaxi ride Apple could make big change to Siri, delight fans Veteran analyst issues big Broadcom call, shakes up AI stock race Rubin seamlessly ties in with Nvidia's mature CUDA ecosystem, with every library, toolchain, and optimization getting a lift. For AI teams, that means shorter training cycles, denser inference deployments, and the freedom to experiment with more complex models simultaneously. If it all lives up to the hype, Nvidia will prove yet again why it's the indispensable engine behind the AI revolution. Nvidia stock just scored another stamp of approval from Wall Street. Mizuho's top chip analyst, Vijay Rakesh, doubled down on his bullish take on the AI bellwether, with his eyes on the future. Rakesh expects Nvidia to ship north of 5.3 million AI accelerators this year, jumping to 6 million by 2026. However, he feels the real hype is around Rubin, the next-gen server that Nvidia claims will be 3.3 times faster than Blackwell Ultra. In addition, if Rubin can shift to an air-cooled option instead of liquid cooling, we could see a lot more data centers adopting Nvidia's gear. That tweak alone could lead to an explosion in demand for Nvidia GPUs, as companies look to build their AI muscle without massive infrastructure Mizuho is keeping an Outperform rating on Nvidia stock with a $170 price target (an 8% jump from July 2's close). Cantor Fitzgerald, in a recent note, is even more upbeat, keeping its Overweight rating and setting the bar even higher at $200 (27.2% higher than July 2's close). Nvidia continues riding high on the tailwind of a blowout second quarter, its 10th consecutive quarter of top- and bottom-line beats. It delivered nearly 60% top-line growth, while its earnings per share of 81 cents beat estimates by six cents. However, it hasn't all been smooth sailing for the AI titan. Two Chinese AI startups, one led by a former Nvidia executive, just filed to go public, stirring up fresh competition. Also, the looming U.S. ban on H20 chip sales to China and Huawei's rumored H100 challenger have kept the pressure on. Nevertheless, Nvidia's pushing hard on new fronts. It's been going all-in on sovereign AI projects in Europe and Saudi Arabia, while building colossal U.S. production hubs for Blackwell to hedge against tariffs. It's important to note that on June 25, NVDA spiked 4% to a record $154.10, briefly overtaking Microsoft as the world's most valuable company, So it's clear Nvidia's still the king of AI chips, and the Street's betting there's still plenty of room to analyst revamps Nvidia price target for one surprising reason first appeared on TheStreet on Jul 4, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Jul 4, 2025, where it first appeared.

"Magnificent Seven" Makeover: Which Stocks Have Earned a Spot, and Which Haven't?
With Apple and Tesla struggling, perhaps it's time for a shake-up in the "Magnificent Seven" lineup. Palantir's revenue growth is accelerating, and its long-term opportunities appear to be huge. Broadcom reports strong growth in its networking portfolio, and it has an even bigger opportunity in custom AI chips. 10 stocks we like better than Palantir Technologies › The so-called "Magnificent Seven" stocks -- Alphabet, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Amazon, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) -- provided much of the driving force behind the market's strong growth over the past several years. However, these tech stocks are seeing some uneven performance in 2025, and it may be time for this informal group -- first labeled by a Bank of America analyst in 2023 -- to get a makeover. I think it's time to give Apple and Tesla the boot and replace them with Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) and Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO). Here's why it should be out with the old and in with the new when it comes to the Magnificent Seven. Both Apple and Tesla stocks have had poor starts to 2025. The reason for Apple's share price underperformance is that its revenue growth has slowed to a glacial pace, and investors' hopes for a strong smartphone upgrade cycle driven by its artificial intelligence (AI) offerings have faded. In fact, Apple's revenue of $391 billion for its fiscal 2024 (which ended in September) was less than the $394.3 billion it generated in its fiscal 2022. Through the first half of fiscal 2025, its revenue is up 4% year over year, but that is still a slow pace. A big part of Apple's issues is that it has not innovated. It has had no new breakout products in the last several years, and the company is behind in AI. While Apple dedicated a lot of resources to AI, it has thus far very little to show for it. Apple Intelligence's introduction did little to convince most users to upgrade their iPhones, and it hasn't even launched Apple Intelligence in China yet. The Chinese market, meanwhile, remains a consistent weak spot for the company. Apple is losing smartphone market share to local rivals, and its revenue in the country has been on the decline. Xiaomi and Huawei have both launched smartphones to compete at the high-end of the market, and Apple has been forced to roll out sales incentives in China to try to spur demand. For a company that built its reputation not just as a technology company but as a luxury brand, that's a difficult path to go down. Apple has been generating solid growth in its high-margin services business, but it faces a unique risk: It is possible that regulators and the courts may force Alphabet to end the deal that makes Google the default search engine on Apple devices. Alphabet currently pays Apple an estimated $20 billion a year for that privileged positioning, which is pure profit for Apple. Any change to the deal could result in a big hit to its earnings. Tesla, meanwhile, has its own problems. Its electronic vehicle (EV) deliveries and revenue fell last year, and it looks like things are getting worse. In the first quarter, its EV deliveries sank by 13% while auto revenue dropped by 20%. In the second quarter, EV deliveries fell an even worse 14%. Increased competition (especially in China) and the rising popularity of hybrid vehicles have played roles in Tesla's struggles, but some of the blame can also be pinned directly on the actions of CEO Elon Musk. Musk's support and financial backing of President Donald Trump and various Republicans in recent elections, and the subsequent leadership role he took on at Trump's "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) have angered a lot of current and potential vehicle buyers. The constituencies Musk angered have political views that generally make them more likely to buy EVs than the demographic that supports President Trump. Musk's political actions led to protests and boycotts of Tesla in the U.S. and in several European countries where Tesla operates. More recently, Musk has become an outspoken critic of Trump's legislative efforts, irritating the president and his supporters. Musk even went so far as to threaten to start his own political party, potentially alienating all sides of the political spectrum. Not surprisingly, Tesla sales have been sinking in the U.S., Europe, and China. Tesla bulls are still betting that its robotaxi business will be a game changer. However, the recent pilot launch of the service in its first city has been met with skepticism and some well-documented potential safety issues. Meanwhile, Alphabet's Waymo has established the early lead in the driverless ride-sharing race. In my opinion, two of the best stocks to replace Apple and Tesla in the Magnificent Seven would be Palantir and Broadcom, both of which have had strong starts to the year. Palantir has become a growth machine. In Q1, it recorded its seventh straight quarter of accelerating revenue growth, with its top line climbing by 39% year over year. The greatest contributor to that growth was its largest customer -- the U.S. government. Revenue from federal government sources grew by 45% year over year (or about $116 million) to $373 million. Its sales to U.S. commercial customers grew at an even faster rate, but from a smaller base. They climbed by 71% (or about $106 million) to $255 million. Meanwhile, it recently landed a significant contract with NATO, showing that international defense has the potential to become a third meaningful growth pillar for the company. Much of Palantir's success stems from its Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP), which it is positioning to be an AI operating system for its clients. AIP gathers data from various sources and puts it into an "ontology" that connects digital assets with their real-world counterparts, allowing organizations to use AI to help solve their real-world problems. The platform is already being used by clients across a wide swath of industries to manage an array of different issues, and the opportunities for it appear to be huge. Meanwhile, Palantir recently introduced new agentic AI tools that not only suggest actions but can also carry them out. Broadcom has also been seeing solid growth. Last quarter, its revenue climbed 20% year over year while adjusted earnings per share (EPS) soared 44%. The growth is being led by its AI networking portfolio, where it provides networking components such as Ethernet switches, optical receivers, DSPs, and NICs -- critical hardware for moving huge amounts of data across AI clusters. Last quarter, its AI networking revenue surged 70%. However, Broadcom's biggest opportunity lies in custom AI chips. The company helps customers design application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) that can be used to power AI workloads. After its success in helping Alphabet design its tensor processing units (TPUs), Broadcom has been gaining more and more new custom AI chip customers. Three of its hyperscaler customers are well advanced in the ASIC design process, and Broadcom has stated that each one of them intends to deploy fabrics of 1 million AI chip clusters in 2027, representing a total serviceable opportunity for the company of $60 billion to $90 billion in that year alone. That's a huge opportunity, and it doesn't even include Broadcom's newer customers, such as Apple. Given the growth opportunities ahead for both Broadcom and Palantir, they look today like better candidates than Apple or Tesla to form a new and improved Magnificent Seven.

Will Nvidia Beat the S&P 500 for the Third Consecutive Year After Gaining 819% in the Prior 2 Years?
Nvidia has been a generational investment opportunity. The stock price has done well because the company's fundamentals have improved. Investors may want to temper their expectations. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has more than recovered from a brutal sell-off in April. At the time of this writing, Nvidia is up 17.5% year to date compared to a 5% gain in the S&P 500 -- putting the chip giant on track to outperform the benchmark index for the third consecutive year after gaining over 819% in 2023-2024. There are plenty of reasons to believe Nvidia can continue being a winning investment for years to come. If you were to go back in time five or 10 years and ask investors what the most valuable company would be entering the second half of 2025 -- most folks probably would have said Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, or Alphabet. All four of those companies produced excellent returns over that period -- but none compare to Nvidia -- which is now the most valuable company in the world and is within striking distance of becoming the first $4 trillion company. Here's why the growth stock is a buy now, but why Nvidia is unlikely to generate explosive gains going forward. Nvidia gets a lot of attention for its outsize stock performance. At first glance, the surging stock price looks like a bubble full of hot air and euphoria. But what's so unique about Nvidia is that its stock price actually mirrors the company's performance. In just a few years, Nvidia has gone from inconsistently profitable to a high-margin cash cow. Notice how Nvidia (the pink line) went from having very little net income to becoming one of the most profitable companies in the world. As you can see in the above chart, Nvidia is fifth behind Alphabet, Apple, Microsoft, and Berkshire Hathaway in terms of trailing-12-month net income. Nvidia's secret sauce isn't sales -- it's high margins. Here's that same list of companies, but ranked in order of profit margins. Nvidia is converting over half of its sales into net income -- which is incredible for a company that designs a physical product rather than selling software or operating a digital ecosystem. Companies with capital-light business models and high margins deserve premium valuations because they don't need to invest a lot of money to make money. Nvidia outsources its chip manufacturing to partners like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, similar to how Apple doesn't manufacture most of its products. However, the key difference is that Nvidia mainly sells to businesses, whereas Apple sells to consumers. Nvidia's key customers are hyperscalers -- the other big tech companies that demand power for cloud computing, to run artificial intelligence (AI) models, and more. Despite trade tensions and tariff pressures, many of these companies showed no signs of reducing capital expenditures -- a vote of confidence that they are taking a long-term approach to AI. With sales pouring in for its high-margin chips, Nvidia can fuel its research and development budget for its next generation of products and take risks without straining its cash flow. As long as this virtuous cycle continues, Nvidia will likely be able to continue outperforming the S&P 500. In addition to having high margins, Nvidia also has an impeccable balance sheet that allows it to aggressively invest in innovation without impacting its financial health. The company exited its most recent quarter with $53.69 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities and just $8.46 billion in long-term debt. Having a strong balance sheet and high margins means that Nvidia can afford to take risks without needing every bet to pay off. Despite these advantages, Nvidia does have some challenges that could impact the stock going forward. Competition is heating up as other companies try to eat into Nvidia's dominant market share. For example, Broadcom is seeing phenomenal demand from hyperscale customers for its AI chips. Nvidia is also vulnerable to geopolitical risk, both in terms of manufacturing and selling its chips. When trade tensions were heating up in April, Nvidia said that it could take a $5.5 billion charge directly related to tariffs and trade restrictions with China if tariffs persisted. Another risk is the investment cycle. Nvidia's key customers are spending a lot on chips right now because we are still in the early innings of AI investments. Some customers may take their foot off the gas as the market matures, impacting Nvidia's growth rate. Finally, there's the law of large numbers. It was much easier for Nvidia to compound when it went from single-digit billions to tens of billions in net income per year. But the larger the company gets, the harder it will be to grow profits at a breakneck rate. Hyperscalers are spending on AI, but they need to see these investments pay off to boost their budgets and, in turn, order volumes from Nvidia. To be fair, a growth slowdown is already projected in analyst consensus estimates, which call for $4.29 in fiscal 2026 earnings per share (EPS) and $5.76 in fiscal 2027. But even if Nvidia's growth slows to around 30% per year, the stock is arguably still a great value. At $157.75 per share at the time of this writing, Nvidia would have a 36.8 price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio based on fiscal 2026 EPS estimates (and if the stock price remained flat) and a 27.4 P/E based on fiscal 2027 estimates. Nvidia makes incredibly complicated, cutting-edge products. But its investment thesis is beautifully simple. Nvidia's earnings growth can justify a higher stock price as long as its customers keep paying top dollar for its chips and other solutions. However, investors should be on the lookout for potential spending pullbacks from key customers or margin erosion from competition. So far, there have been very few signs that indicate Nvidia's investment thesis is weakening.
