Ray Tracing and DLSS were tested using Cyberpunk 2077 and Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition. The rasterization performance of the device was tested using Counter Global Offensive, Rainbow Six Siege, Assassins’s Creed Valhalla, The Witcher 3, and Red Dead Redemption 2. For testing the CPU I ran Cinebench R23, Blender, 3D Mark Firestrike, and 3D Mark Timespy. The Asus G15 data has been taken from Jarrod’sTech YouTube channel.Īs for the tests, I ran a number of them to push the GPU and CPU of this device. For comparison, I have used an MSI GP66 Leopard with an i7 11800H + RTX 3070(140 watts) and an Asus G15 Advantage Edition featuring the Ryzen 9 5900HX + RX 6800M (145 watts). The laptop has also been tested on the ‘Performance Mode’ with the charger plugged in. There is a Vega 8 iGPU in the system which can be disabled using the Legion Vantage software. As such I had very high hopes for the performance of this system and for the most part, it does deliver. It also features 16 GB of 14Gbps GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit wide memory bus. It also features the full power NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop featuring 6144 CUDA Cores, 48 RT cores, and 192 Tensor cores. My test machine packs the AMD RyHX which has 8 cores and 16 threads with a base clock of 3.3 GHz and a max boost of 4.6 GHz. The Lenovo Legion 7 packs the highest-end components one can imagine in a gaming laptop.

The Display is also VESA DisplayHDR 400 certified and has a peak brightness of 500 nits, meaning you can use it for basic HDR media consumption. So whether you are on the iGPU in hybrid mode or using the RTX 3080 in discrete mode, you have Variable Rate Refresh (VRR) available to you. One of the big positives of this device is the fact it supports FreeSync and G-SYNC both.

Long-term Lenovo users will feel right at home with familiar build philosophy compared to last year’s model.


There are also no sharp edges on my test device. Build quality feels very premium with negligible flex. The chassis has a smooth matte finish, with side and underside vents for cooling. The company calls the color of the device ‘Strom Gray’. Lenovo opts for an aluminum chassis for the construction of the Legion 7. 32GB Dual-channel 3200 MHz DDR4 Memory, Max 64 GB support
