Nvidia RTX 3000 Ada performance debut: Dell Precision 5480 workstation review

Precision engineering. Not much has changed from a visual standpoint, but the GPU update from last year's Precision 5470 is significant and worth considering for power users who want to maximize performance from a small 14-inch form factor.

Allen Ngo 👁, Published 09/17/2023 🇩🇪 🇸🇪 ...

The Precision 5480 directly succeeds last year's Precision 5470 by updating the 12th gen Alder Lake-H CPU and Nvidia Ampere GPU with 13th gen Raptor Lake-H and Ada Lovelace options, respectively. It also happens to be one of the first mobile workstations to carry the RTX 3000 Ada. The chassis or skeleton otherwise remains the same as on the Precision 5470 and so we recommend checking out our review on last year's model to learn more about the physical features of the Precision 5480.

Our specific test unit is a higher-end configuration with the Core i9-13900H CPU, RTX 3000 Ada GPU, and QHD+ touchscreen for approximately $4400 USD. Lesser SKUs with the Core i5-13500H, integrated Iris Xe graphics, and non-touch FHD+ display are also available starting at $2300.

The 14-inch subnotebook workstation space is relatively small, but there are still a few alternatives including the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s and HP ZBook Firefly 14 series.

Webcam

Dell is still shipping 720p webcams on many of its flagship products including the XPS series and Precision laptops based on the XPS design. Other makers have already moved on to 2 MP or 5 MP sensors and we expect Dell to do the same for any future redesigns.

Maintenance

Accessories And Warranty

The retail box includes the same USB-C to HDMI and USB-A adapter as on last year's model in addition to the paperwork and 130 W USB-C AC adapter. Dell also offers a smaller 100 W USB-C AC adapter which should suffice for configurations with no discrete Nvidia graphics.

A three-year warranty comes standard if purchased from Dell in the US similar to the Precision 7000 series.

Display — QHD+ With Full sRGB Colors

Our test unit ships with the same AU Optronics B140QAN IPS panel as found on last year's model. Dell is not offering any new panel options for this year's refresh meaning full DCi-P3 colors or OLED are still out of reach.

The display still comes well-calibrated out of the box with average grayscale and color deltaE values of just 1.7 and 2.1, respectively. An end-user calibration is possible but not required.

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
25.3 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 12.6 ms rise
25.3 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 12.7 ms fall
The screen shows relatively slow response rates in our tests and may be too slow for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 57 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21.1 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
43.9 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 19.2 ms rise
43.9 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 24.7 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 70 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (33.2 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 17348 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Performance — 13th Gen Raptor Lake-H

Testing Conditions

We set our unit to Ultra Performance mode via Dell Optimizer prior to running the benchmarks below. The Optimizer power profiles can synchronize with the Windows power profiles unlike on most other laptops.

Advanced Optimus, MUX, and G-Sync are not supported on the internal display. VRAM ECC mode can be toggled on or off via the Nvidia Control Panel much like on other workstation-class RTX GPUs from the Ada Lovelace generation.

Processor

Our Core i9-13900H offers up to 25 to 35 percent faster multi-thread performance over the Core i9-12900H in last year's Precision 5470. The notable uptick can be attributed to the more stable Turbo Boost performance of the Precision 5480 when compared to the Precision 5470 as shown by our CineBench R15 xT loop test results below.

Average performance is still slower than expected for a laptop powered by the Core i9-13900H likely due to the small size of the Precision 5480. The larger Precision 5680, for example, carries the same CPU and yet it performs about 15 percent faster.

GPU Performance

The RTX 3000 Ada is about 60 to 80 percent faster than the RTX A1000 on last year's Precision 5470 or about 10 to 15 percent faster than the RTX A3000 that it directly replaces. The newer GPU targets a slightly higher TGP of 50 W whereas the GPU in the Precision 5470 was limited to 40 W.

Last generation's RTX A1000 is still configurable on the Precision 5480, but the RTX 3000 Ada is highly recommended for its significant performance boosts. The newer Ada GPU is only a bit behind the older ampere RTX A5500 as found on much larger workstations like the HP ZBook Fury 16 G9.

Running on Balanced mode impacts CPU performance more than GPU performance as shown by our Fire Strike results in the table below. The deficits are relatively minor and in the single-digit percentage points even if running on battery mode.

Interestingly, two SpecViewPerf 12 subtests (energy and medical) would always crash on our unit and so these scores have been omitted from the graphs below.

Power Profile	Physics Score	Graphics Score	Combined Score
Performance Mode	29061	20908	8316
Balanced Mode	26880 (-8%)	20411 (-2%)	7633 (-8%)
Battery Mode	27852 (-4%)	19755 (-6%)	7569 (-9%)
