Got pretty excited until I saw that this 3080 Ti is limited to 115 TDP / TGP [notebookcheck.net]. Still a good deal though. Looks like it's around 8% slower than a 4070 instead of tied with it (ignoring frame gen, which you can get with FSR3 mods on 20/30 series cards), and ~8% faster than a 4060 instead of 20% faster. Those are estimates from Jarrod Tech's graphs on two videos: 1 [youtu.be] 2 [youtu.be]

It does have a very nice 240-hz 500 nit display with 97% P3 coverage and QHD+ 16:10 aspect ratio, aside from the RAM which is upgradable.

Compared to the refurbished Lenovo Legion 7i, I would take this unless you were able to use the YMMV instacart 30% off on a new Lenovo 7i for ~$930

- Worse CPU, both in single core but significant in multi-core
- slightly faster GPU
- 16 GB VRAM
- wider color gamut
- 32 GB ram (upgradable anyway)
- worse build and cooling?
- cheaper

Not great except for that 16GB of VRAM. That will last longer than mediocre 8GB VRAM of RTX 4070 mobile. NVIDIA is fixing this for next gen mobile RTX 5000. RTX 5070/5080/5090 mobile will have 12/16/24GB VRAM respectively according to latest rumors.

Don't compare FSR FG with DLSS FG. FSR FG is a joke compared to it.

I didn't compare it? I just said you don't get frame gen natively on pre-40 series cards, but you can get it (frame gen, not DLSS frame gen) with mods. I did not speak to quality or saying they're equivalent, just that you can get that function. It's also pretty lame that in some ways a major feature of the 40 series is just a software lock of that frame generation.

Also, I guess I will add my opinion on FSR FG vs DLSS FG [youtube.com]: it's not a joke, but definitely worse. I think for most people it won't be that perceptible due to it being interleaved with good frames, and you don't get the input lag of say Lossless Scaling. Their FG is much closer to DLSS IMHO than their upscaling, which is in fact a true joke.
