We actually tested the 5080, 32GB RAM, 275HX variant of this laptop, which means we can tell you exactly how the device performs when gaming. In our gaming benchmarks, the Legion Pro 7i pumps out 163 frames per second in Shadow of the Tom Raider<\/em> at 1080p, or 101 frames per second at the laptop’s native resolution of 2560 x 1600. We also clocked Crysis Remastered<\/em> at Very High, running in the mid-90s, with the 16 VRAM pool and 175W power draw putting in plenty of work. <\/p>\n
