We've reviewed an RTX 5080 equipped gaming laptop

While we haven't yet tested Lenovo's newest Legion laptop, we have evaluated a gaming laptop with the RTX 5080 GPU. The RTX 5080 offers only a slight improvement over the RTX 4080 in raw rasterized performance but shines significantly when games support DLSS 4.0 with multi-frame generation. The Gigabyte Aorus Master laptop, equipped with an RTX 5080 with a 150W TGP rating and a 2560x1600 display, mirrors the specs of the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i, suggesting similar gaming performance.

"Nvidia has emphasized the AI capabilities of its 50-series GPUs over pure native rendering performance. Although the RTX 5080's performance is disappointingly close to the RTX 4080, this gap closes when playing games that support multi-frame generation. While 'fake frames' might be a meme, their impact is undeniable when they work well, significantly boosting performance. This varies by game, with some like Alan Wake 2 feeling more laggy at higher settings, while others like Cyberpunk 2077 do not. With technologies like neural shaders on the horizon, there's a compelling case for investing in these future technologies. However, you're essentially buying into a promise as Nvidia and game developers continue to integrate these features into new and existing titles."
