Lenovo has launched its annual Back to School Sale with rare deals on their Legion and LOQ line of gaming laptops and desktop PCs. Lenovo Legion gaming computers generally command a higher price than some of the other prebuilt options, but they are generally well liked among gamers and reviewers for many reasons. The build quality on a Legion laptop or desktop boasts better and more rugged build quality than what you’d find from most other prebuilt PCs. People like the fact that Lenovo does not use proprietary components in their rigs, so the PCs are much easier to upgrade with easiy obtainable, off-the-shelf components. Lenovo gaming rigs employ solid cooling even if you opt for the base models. Finally, Lenovo is an established, reputable brand and their warranty is more proven and reliable than boutique builders.

Compared to AMD’s best card, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX, it only performs slighly worse without ray tracing, but it performs better with ray tracing enabled. It also supports DLSS 3.0 (DLSS 2.0 + frame generation), something both the AMD cards and GeForce RTX 30 series lack, and that increases the performance gap for games that support it. It’s still a solid card for 4K gaming and significantly cheaper than the RTX 4080 or 4090.

The RTX 4080 is the second most powerful card on the market and a considerable step up in performance over the 4070 Ti. This (or the 4090) is the card you want for 4K gaming without any restrictions. On the AMD front, only the Radeon RX 7900 XTX can keep up (and that’s if you ignore DLSS and ray tracing). It’s much more powerful than previous generation cards, performing about 50% faster than an RTX 3080 Ti. It’s actually only 20%-30% slower than the RTX 4090 (and you’ll really only feel the difference in 4k) while costing hundreds of dollars less. Check out our RTX 4080 review.
Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 8 RTX 3060 Ti Gaming PC for $1159.99
