Our Experience with an RTX 5080 Gaming Laptop
While we haven’t tested Lenovo’s latest Legion model, we’ve evaluated a gaming laptop with the RTX 5080 GPU. The RTX 5080 offers a modest improvement over the RTX 4080 in standard rendering but excels in games supporting DLSS 4.0 with multi-frame generation. We tested the Gigabyte Aorus Master, which shares the same 150W TGP rating and 2560x1600 display as the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i, suggesting comparable gaming performance.
Gigabyte Aorus Master 16" RTX 5080 Laptop Review by Chris Coke
"Nvidia emphasizes the 50-series’ AI-driven capabilities over raw rendering power. The RTX 5080 performs similarly to the RTX 4080 in standard scenarios but shines with multi-frame generation in supported games. This technology delivers impressive performance boosts, though results vary by title. For instance, Alan Wake 2 may feel slightly laggy at higher settings, while Cyberpunk 2077 runs smoothly. With neural shaders and other advancements on the horizon, investing in this tech offers future-proofing, though it relies on Nvidia and developers expanding support for new and existing titles."
