Lenovo Legion Pro 7i [ RTX 4090 ] - 5 Demanding Games Tested

Video 1 of ? benchmarking very demanding games. SW Jedi Survivor , Cyberpunk 2077, The Last of Us , Forza Horizon 5 , Red Dead Redemption 2
The video was getting long, so I have decided to break it into a couple videos. I want to show various settings, and performance modes. Moving beyond merely showing you bar graphs.

Thanks man. I was scouring the interwebs for a good 4090 7i pro review. You came in clutch bro. Thanks a lot.

[@TechGuyBeau]

Nice. I have another 1 or 2 videos on this model coming. One more gaming video then a comparison to the 2022 model. I’ll be using this one as my main pc. So feel free to ask if you have questions

[@nellatl]

​@@TechGuyBeauhow does it compare to one of the 18 inch models?

[@silverpro8356]

@@TechGuyBeau How are you liking it man, any problems so far i am looking at the 4080 version.

[@urulooke]

Great video, a real gem! It's hard to find any reviews of this laptop showing games performance on balanced mode and in 1440p and 4k resolutions! I'm about to buy it, but I'd be using it 90% of the time on balanced mode (I'd only play on performance mode if wearing noise cancelling headphones).

[@livy_anima]

Thank you for the work you did!

[@johnowusu53]

Great video man. Keep them coming.

[@redcloud2992]

🔥 nice vid ! Exactly what I was looking for !

[@TechGuyBeau]

Awesome. I have another one dropping this weekend. More games tested

[@redcloud2992]

@@TechGuyBeau Nice , Thank you !

[@GG-ru2vv]

Nice video. When you were using balanced mode, did you also enable the AI option?

[@dapenn2002]

How are you getting such good frames on red dead 2. I have everything maxed at 1600p and I'm getting around 80fps. This is on performance mode and gpu overclock turned on. Dlss as well. Any suggestions?

[@BalazsLengyelMD]

Why did you not test the native 1600p res? Does this laptop not come with 1600p native resolution?

[@AkaruIez]

Does this device feel smooth when playing 60 fps locked games like Elden Ring?

[@musamurat]

[@haptikgames]

This is great I wish more laptop. Reviewers would do stuff like this. Would love to see how things actually run when playing.

[@clayton2500]

How is your gpu temperature so low? When I’m pushing a demanding game to the max I usually run around 75-82°C

[@hooda24ma]

How much is power consumption in custom mode??

[@patrick6754]

Was there any temperature problems with this laptop?

[@Maj0rP1st0l]

3:26 the car near you delay showing texture.but its seems really smooth .no lag seem.

[@shawnelmi5133]

Just bought this laptop and was worried about the 4k performance, thanks for taking the time to make this review it was exactly what I was looking for.

[@sid-rg2ue]

does it hold up? I'm looking to buy it

[@AloushMan]

@@sid-rg2ue would love to also know! thinking of getting it as well

[@RichardKingg]

@@AloushMan I mean, this laptop at its particular price (2500 USD as of december 14th 2023) is the best and only laptop with a 4090 that you will find.

[@sparshbansal6624]

Thanks a lot for testing unoptimized games at native settings. Noone does that. It is a huge help in deciding whether to buy this laptop or not.

[@TechGuyBeau]

🫡 im here to serve

[@sparshbansal6624]

Why don't you do reviews for other laptops too? And can you please test Dead Space remake too?

How are the speakers on the 7i pro? I make music as a hobby and like to use the laptop speakers and headphones. I currently have a HP Omen 16 and the speakers are really good. Im looking to upgrade but Im concerned I will order a laptop to have it arrive and the speakers are a let down

[@TechGuyBeau]

The speakers are absolutely amazing. The best I’ve used outside of a 16” MacBook Pro.

[@nellatl]

What game is that?

[@knocksvillee]

My wife is about to get this on sale, and I am very envious now. She'll primarily be using our 4K TV, so yeah it's great to see it run so well at 4k

[@TechGuyBeau]

It’s a really powerful laptop :)

[@jlb4685]

Nutty performance. Mine (same spec) arrives in a few days :)

[@TechGuyBeau]

Nice. Enjoy

[@Smart_boy2001]

Updates?

[@WilliamsDarkoh]

​@@Smart_boy2001got the laptop and for some reason I'm getting 20% less performance.... Red dead running at 98-90 FPS on performance mode...

[@riteshchamola7112]

My laptop is stuck with 60 fps even in quality mode. Do you know what settings should i change in order it to run more than 80 fps like you did in quality mode.

[@TechGuyBeau]

You are probably locked with VSYNC or fps listing in the game. Make sure 1. Your screen itself is set to higher refresh rate 2. The game doesn’t have vsync or fps limits turned on

[@Noob_Master_24]

Dang that's soo cool!

[@WilliamsDarkoh]

Why tf am i gettinf only 95 fps???

[@EdivanCamargo]

How much do you believe is the "right price" for this thing? I saw it on "discount", costing 3.8k euros. The "normal" price is 4.6k euros here in Ireland.

[@TechGuyBeau]

It’s kind of hard to say, because every single 4090 laptop is over priced right now. The Legion seems to be the best available price for a good model with this chip, but I think that €3.8 thousand is pushing it. I think that 3000 on the dot would be more fair. That’s more similar to what I paid in Canadian dollar That being said you guys have weird taxes over there

[@nikkoNine]

The new one is 2700 usd right now in usa on b&h photography. I got a 3 month old used excellent condition (could pass for open box) for 2200 usd

[@nellatl]

Can't wait to we get to 8k 240hz

[@WilliamsDarkoh]

Why are you playing in 4 k? I thought that the monitor was 1440 p isn't it?

[@TechGuyBeau]

Becusse lots of people use powerful laptops on an external display. Also the internal screen is 1600p

[@NeoGame1000]

When will the next video come out?)

[@TechGuyBeau]

Haha I got you into it eh!? Thanks In a couple days. I have the footage already. Just need to compile it. The next one will be another gaming video. After that I will have a comparison video of 2022 vs 2023 models. I suppose that later once those are done I can take some game requests. I’m going to be using this legion for quite some time methinks. It’s quite the beast

[@NeoGame1000]

@@TechGuyBeau same question remains :)

[@Neon-jn3sp]

If the cpu is running at 80 degrees for a long period of time is that alright?

[@TechGuyBeau]

Zero issues with that temperature

[@akaddict]

Its exactly what you want.

[@salty3723]

Could this handle vr?

[@TechGuyBeau]

Yes. The gpu is basically a desktop 4080 with lower watts. More or less

[@Jcasillas49]

I have ridiculous stuttering in MW2 and RDR2. Ive seen many people having these stuttering problems. Its driving me crazy

[@TechGuyBeau]

Are you in performance mode? Are your drivers updated?

[@pureniku]

Yep ima getting the Lenovo legion pro 7i rn I have the Lenovo ideapad gaming 3 it’s alright but I would like a better experience and the frame drops in a demanding game is crazy.

[@TechGuyBeau]

Huge jump in performance

[@pureniku]

@@TechGuyBeau yeah man but I’m not a rich guy so it’ll be some time until I get it 😭

[@Mdot555]

Legion 9i must be killer

[@nellatl]

Do you actually notice a difference in gameplay from the slim version? I'm talking about real world without measuring framerate etc.

[@TechGuyBeau]

The slim only offers up to 4070. But a 4060/70 on a slim will perform the same as a pro either the same gpu

[@prodbykaioken]

Trading Zephyrus Dou 16 rtx 4090 for this. I feel to nervous owning a nearly $4k laptop

[@vahramgermanyan8874]

RDR 2 in 4 K resutution it is external monitor or lenovo native screen?

[@TechGuyBeau]

This video is done exclusively on an external display. My review shows a few games on the laptop itself recoded on a camera. I have one more vidoe on the 4090 coming soon. I might do more after as it will be my main laptop for a while

[@vahramgermanyan8874]

@@TechGuyBeau Yeah, I supposed it was external monitor, because the image quality was incredibly good! Hope to see a screen recording video(without camera) on the laptop itself. Btw, what is the name and model of your monitor?

[@TechGuyBeau]

@@vahramgermanyan8874 oh it was actually game capture. I have a game capture card so it was a direct signal, rather than camera. The external screen just allows a mid standard 1440p capture, better allowing comparison to other laptops and desktops

[@vahramgermanyan8874]

Oh, ok, thank you, but anyway I would like to know the external screen name. Is it the samsung you have reviewed recently?

[@TechGuyBeau]

Save a lot I guess lol

[@carsoncrews]

@@TechGuyBeau yeah i have been saving almost 600$ now

[@hihihi1q23]

​@@carsoncrews Don't blow your savings on a 4090 laptop. They're great, sure, but they cost way more and performance worse than a 4080 desktop. The laptops are nice if you can afford it, but a desktop is better if you have money issues.

[@jackie2-g8l]

Save and be patient

[@okey1317]

TOOO COSTLY

[@Gamer4lyfe00]

Do not buy this laptop at it's ridiculous price. It's clearly over priced. Keep in mind this is not a desktop performance 4090! No where near it!
