2023 Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (AMD) - 9 DEMANDING Games tested [ 7745hx + RTX 4070]

[@maximusthecannabist5170]

For anyone having issues with the heat just disable boost processor power mode in the power plan settings if its not visble you'll need to activate it in registry app its very easy make sure to leave processor power minimum when plugged in to 100% and processor power at maximum when plugged in and on computer to 100% hope its helps.

[@Youssef_Ben_Yedder]

can you guide me how to? and doesnt that hit the performance? i ve been playing with 99% cpu power limit because of the heat and it does un some games cost me some performance while in others nothing

[@JohnnieTheRabbit-ro1jh]

You can also use Lenovo Vantage and set max CPU wattage to 60 watt while gaming + using AMD Apu Tuning Utility to undervolt the CPU. -15 must be stable in 99% cases. But still try to test stability with AIDA64 and Hwinfo open and have an eye for WHEA errors especially.

[@joelschwartz4679]

your low gpu usage on minecraft rtx was being caused by not turning off vsync for the game and that is why your performance was so low you have to either download a rtx pack that has the setting or you have to turn it off in the options.txt file and nvidia control panel.

[@slickrounder6045]

Some really good tests here! Unsurprisingly the 4070 mobile and its paltry 8gb of vram are really holding back the 7745Hx.

[@TechGuyBeau]

unfortunately yes in some games its a hard barrier. Im currently finishing a video comparing this 4070 to my 6850m xt with 12gb

[@Lemonhead8890]

@@TechGuyBeau the vram thing is a bit exaggerated... the fact that this laptop can even do 4k is pretty amazing. People need to relax, you can play a game without all the eye candy and still have an enjoyable experience. These numbers on a laptop are astounding compared with years prior.

[@TechGuyBeau]

@@Aditya-sj4ev I have carried out subsequent tests on a legion with an inferior cpu and better gpu. The vram limitations (and worse bandwith) results in the gpu basically being choked. Hence bad lows

[@slickrounder6045]

@@Aditya-sj4ev I see you are really ignorant, probably beyond saving. Best hint I can give you is to watch the reviews of the Desktop 4060ti (HUB and GamersNexus) which is basically the same card as the mobile 4070. You will get an idea of why its so bad, and how the 128 bit memory bus for crippled memory bandwidth, in conjunction with its debilitating 8gb of vram which hamstrings it significantly at 1440p (and even 1080 ultra on multiple games). Then you might understand why the bottleneck will almost always be the mobile 4070 which is not on par with the Zen 4 7745Hx (which is basically equivalent to the desktop Zen 4 7700 non X). This video by Jarrod'sTech will also shed some light on how and why the 4050/4060/4070 are gimped even if they claim they can go over 100w (like this Legion model which claims an imaginary "140w", meanwhile it will almost never reach 100w)- kzbin.info/www/bejne/oH6wo5tshdV_f5Y .

For the Spiderman game, are you limiting your refresh rate to 60hz? could explain the 1% lows after turning on V-Sync and testing in external monitor. Appreciate if you could try in the Laptop screen's native resolutions (1200p or 1600p) and let us know.

[@TechGuyBeau]

And some titles if you don’t enable FPS limiting, then the CPU and possibly the GPU will run at full performance. In a limited frame like a laptop, this will result in excessive heat. Excessive heat will cause throttling, which leads to bad Lows I found that in many games, and especially prevalent in Spider-Man, you are better off limiting your FPS to 60 or 70. This will prevent overheating, and ensure much smoother frames. I also find the same in Hogwarts legacy

thank u for the fast and honest answer@@TechGuyBeau

[@doc_verma]

Cant afford 4080, and rest 4060, 4070 dont seems any huge benefit 😢since both cnt run 1440p properly. Makes me think why not go with 4050 or 4060 for 1080p gaming, and maybe upgrade later if next gen gives better upgrade and good value. Wht do you people think. Its so frustrating … unable to decide

[@TechGuyBeau]

Why. It grab a 3080(ti) laptop or 6850m xt? They easily outperform a 4070

CPU so hot, i see temperature 85-93! so dangrouse if use long time, how to sovle it ? (AATU not support for Ryzen dragon range )

[@victorxdavid]

85-93 is completely fine for a gaming laptop, the rzyen cpus have a temp limit of 105 so that is like 20 degrees below actually dangerous and it will never hit that because of software.

hello friends, I want to ask and if I may get a recommendation too, it's better to choose legion 5 pro with i9 +Rtx 4060 or R7745hx +rtx 4070(because the price in my country is very same) behind that I sometimes do 3d animation (architecture) using Autocad, Lumion etc. but sometimes I like to play competitively on Apex Legends and maybe some other AAA games, thank you for your time, really hope you can answer my comment :)

The temperature looks scary😔😭like even if my laptop can handle 4k and all ultra and RS if its going up to 95 C it scares me and its too hot so i lower it (and that mean that all this power is for nothing cuz of the heating hope maybe i can find a good cooler for the laptop to keep it at 80 or 85 max idk what to do) Im rly not sure if im gonna regret buying better laptop then just taking 4060 with ryzen 7 HS 16 ram (lenovo LOQ)

[@chrisbullock6477]

Really shouldn't be a warning for VRAM when the XBOX is running this at 4k on shared memory, and this has a discrete GPU plus system memory. Probably would get even more performance hooked up to an external 1440p monitor as well

[@mediumplayer1]

Legions have a MUX switch. As such, connecting one to an external monitor won't give you extra performance.

[@mts4651]

90°c on the cpu not even at 100% load is a dealbreaker for me

[@TechGuyBeau]

Its dragon range, it’s supposed to run hot

[@naresharanjian1786]

what might be causing does fps dips?

[@TechGuyBeau]

Insufficiency vram. 8gb is not enough for 1440/1600p. Not by a long shot. In older games yes, but going forward if you want to play at 1440 you need 12gb +. Memory bandwidth can also be a culprit. This is a nice 1080 max laptop, or 1440 medium settings. Otherwise get a 6850m xt, 3080, or 4080 laptop

[@Jinisinsane]

Just bought this laptop and its coming in this week,is your cpu undervolted? 90c is a bit high for my personal preference.

[@TechGuyBeau]

It definitely runs hot. I’d recommend playing around with silent and balance mode

wtf with GPU wattage... its barely reaches 100Watt but declared as 140Watt RTX4070...

[@TechGuyBeau]

Dynamic wattage between cpu and gpu. Also the 4070 doesn’t need 140 watts. It performs basically at 100% at 100-105. That’s the main benefit of the 4060/70. We don’t need absurd wattages anymore

[@yevheniibatiievskyi]

@@TechGuyBeau hmm. But when it goes to 4080 it's draws 140Watt, where is the catch? Why is the gap in 40 Watt... Don't get it. A room for 4070Ti maybe?

[@TechGuyBeau]

@@yevheniibatiievskyidifferent architecture. You don’t need or benefit from going over 100 watts on the 4060/70. The 4080 needs high wattage. Totally different chip design. 60/70 are meant for more mobile, thinner and lower temperature laptops. 80/90 are best in thick boy laptops. Not sure what a 4070ti would be like

Looks like that AMD version runs hotter than the Intel one.

[@mrinferno4876]

Dude, what kind of food regime did you run the tests in? I see a maximum of up to 100 watts on the graphics card. That's a hell of a low consumption. CPU power priority is typical for quiet and balanced mode.

[@TechGuyBeau]

If you pay attention to the CPU usage as well, and especially temperatures that will explain why. These systems are equipped with a smart shift technology where it will flip power between the two chips CPU and GPU. If one is getting too hot and getting blasted it will migrate energy to the other. So in this case you can see that the CPU is rather hot and being taxed in some games, so the GPU is not going to go out fullbore at risk of overheating the entire system. I suspect that this same set up in a legion seven would perform better, since it has a vapour chamber and superior Cooling

[@mrinferno4876]

@@TechGuyBeau No. This is a crappy algorithm. All these AI technologies work very poorly. It is necessary to turn on the forced discrete graphics in the red power mode. Be sure to lift the back of the laptop for a better breath. AMD processors are always more difficult to remove heat due to the smaller size of the crystal. I have already crossed the 10-year milestone of using only laptops. I have two Legions, including Legion 7 2021 (5900 and 3080) So I know what I'm talking about.

@@TechGuyBeau It's not about the processor, it's about the algorithm. Do you see 140-150 watts on the graphics card? And I don't see it. So it's not working properly. Perhaps with BIOS updates this will be fixed.
