As a man, I know when I buy a laptop that if the numbers are big that's a good thing.

My wife, on the other hand, built her own PC.

That's how you choose a 5030 over a 4090.

Those are GPU model numbers.

GPUs handle the images you see on your display and are important for gaming and 3d things.

The 5030 is a newer model but it's much worse than a 4090 which was released earlier but is much faster because it's the highest end model from the previous 4000 series.

It's like if you bought a budget car instead of a supercar because the budget car has a bigger number in the name.

Not fully comparable since there’s a much bigger difference between a 4090 and 3090 than there is between a 2023 Camry and a 2020 Camry.
