RTX 5080 in my Lenovo Legion Tower 7i Gen 10
I purchased a prebuilt Lenovo Legion Tower 7 with a Core Ultra 9 285K and RTX 5080 around two months ago. The main reasons I chose it instead of building my own PC were the reasonable pricing with the discounts, the 3-year onsite warranty (which can also be extended), and honestly, the GPU itself looked absolutely thicc and aesthetically pleasing in all the YouTube videos I saw.
I expected the performance to lag far behind an RTX custom-built PC, but I’ve been genuinely surprised by how well it performs.
Cyberpunk 2077 runs at 4K on the highest settings with ray tracing off at around 60 FPS native, and 80+ FPS with DLSS Quality. Resident Evil 7 runs at 200+ FPS on 4K max settings and around 300 FPS on 2K max settings. Resident Evil Village gives me 180+ FPS at 4K max settings and around 240+ FPS at 2K on the highest settings. Also in Forza Horizon 6 I am getting approx 100 FPS on 4K Max settings DLAA RT Off and 145 FPS avg on 1440P Max settings DLAA RT Off.
I’m honestly extremely happy with the performance I’m getting.
What impressed me even more are the temperatures. Right now, where I live, ambient temperatures are around 43°C, and my room stays around 34°C without AC. Even then, the GPU never goes above 74°C, while the CPU stays around 55°C. With the AC on and room temperature at 26°C, the GPU sits comfortably around 70°C.
Didn’t expect a prebuilt to impress me this much, but Lenovo really nailed it this time and I do not regret buying this pc.
Note: I built my own gaming PC back in 2021 with an MSI Gaming X RTX 3060 and an i7-10700K processor, and it’s still running as good as new. I now use it as my secondary system and wanted to see how a pre-built PC would perform, and I wasn’t disappointed.
