Early RTX 5080 Laptop Performance Insights

While we haven't tested Lenovo's latest model yet, our experience with another RTX 5080-equipped laptop provides useful benchmarks. The RTX 5080 shows modest improvements in traditional rendering over the 4080, but excels in DLSS 4.0 with multi-frame generation support. The Gigabyte Aorus Master we tested featured identical 150W TGP and 2560x1600 resolution specs as the Legion Pro 7i, suggesting comparable gaming performance.

As noted in our Gigabyte Aorus Master 16" RTX 5080 review:

"Nvidia has clearly positioned the 50-series to leverage AI enhancements rather than raw performance gains. While native rendering shows limited improvement over the 4080, the difference becomes substantial in games supporting multi-frame generation. Though some debate the authenticity of these 'AI frames,' the performance boost is unmistakable when implemented well - with varying results depending on the game's latency handling. With upcoming technologies like neural shaders, these GPUs represent an investment in future gaming experiences, though buyers should be aware that full potential depends on ongoing developer support."
