Razer Blade 17 laptop review: RTX 3070 Ti or RTX 3080 Ti - Which is the superior Blade?

Name: Razer Blade 17 (i7-12800H, RTX 3070 Ti)
Brand: Razer

Blade is Blade? The Razer Blade 17 with the RTX 3070 Ti is a full 800 Euros (~$842) cheaper than with the RTX 3080 Ti. With the thin case of the Blade, can you really notice a performance difference in favor of the more expensive GPU? We'll get to the bottom of this in our review.

Alder Lake Gaming Geforce Laptop Thunderbolt

We already reviewed the Razer Blade 17 2022 with the RTX 3080 Ti at the beginning of April, and the model with the RTX 3070 Ti, which costs 3,500 Euros (~$3,682), has now made its way over to us. Therefore, we'll compare the performance of the two and see whether the more expensive price of 4,300 Euros (~$4,524) is worth it for the top model.

Since virtually nothing else has changed in the laptop, we'll refer to the review of the model with the RTX 3080 Ti and omit sections like the one regarding the case and all others where there have been no modifications.

In addition to the top model, we compare the performance with other 17-inch gaming laptops equipped with the RTX 3070 Ti found in our system. The only problem - there are no other 17-inch laptops with the RTX 3070 Ti in our system yet. For this reason, we'll include the following 15-inch and 16-inch comparison models: The Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16 G7, the MSI Vector GP66 12UGS, the MSI Stealth GS66 12UGS, as well as the predecessor, the Razer Blade 17 with a Tiger Lake CPU and the non-Ti RTX 3070.

Input devices - Special functions poorly illuminated

Keyboard

One more word on the keyboard's backlight: Only the main functions of the keys are illuminated. Of all things, the secondary functions of the F-keys are very small and faintly labeled, and they aren't illuminated, so you'll have to look hard for special functions in dark settings, even with the keyboard backlight enabled. For example, we wanted to dim the display's brightness in a dark environment, but the corresponding key can hardly be found in dark surroundings.

We would love for Razer to improve on this, because the keys corresponding to functions like louder/quieter, print, display brightness, etc., are hardly visible in the dark, since they aren't illuminated, and the labels are very small as well as pale gray.

Display - Good color-space coverage

Our configuration is equipped with the same matte BOE IPS display with 2560x1440 pixels that is used in the variant with RTX 3080 Ti.

However, our model has a slightly better brightness distribution of 82%. The average brightness of just over 300 nits is decent.

Due to the relatively high black value, the contrast is not outstanding, but it's still within limits. From a subjective point of view as well, the display looks very sharp due to the high resolution, and it offers appealing colors.

The response times are appropriate for a gaming laptop. Screen bleeding is only minimally present on the right edge, and there's no PWM.

* ... smaller is better

Both sRGB and Display P3 are almost fully covered. AdobeRGB is also covered by about 86%. This makes the display well suited for professional image and video editors.

The display is already calibrated reasonably well out of the box. However, a new calibration reduces color deviations even more noticeably.

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
11.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 5.8 ms rise
11.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 5.4 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 25 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.5 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
15.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 7.4 ms rise
15.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 7.8 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 24 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (33.7 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 17903 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

With a brightness of around 300 nits and the matte surface, outdoor use is possible as long as you're in the shade and are viewing the screen from a favorable angle. However, if you tilt the device or look at it from an oblique angle, the fun will soon be over.

Some brightness is lost when viewing from extreme angles, but overall, the viewing-angle stability is good as typical for IPS panels.

Performance - Still high

Thanks to its powerful components, the Razer Blade is mainly suited for gamers and content creators. We expect slightly better temperatures and noise levels from the RTX 3070 Ti than from the model with the RTX 3080 Ti. In return, there should be a slight drop in performance. Our current review sample shouldn't have any problems with the benchmarks, either.

Test conditions

For the best benchmark results, we select the custom mode in the Razer Synapse software and maximize the sliders for the CPU and GPU.

The Razer supports Advanced Optimus, and you can also manually enable the dGPU, but we won't be doing that.

Processor

The Intel Core i7-12800H has 14 cores and a total of 20 threads. In this case, a single P-core can clock up to 4.8 GHz, while the base clock speed is between 1.8 (E-cores) and 2.4 GHz (P-cores). It should be capable of handling any task.

In the Cinebench loop, the CPU manages a TDP of around 100 watts in the first two runs. In the subsequent runs, it only reaches 85 watts for a very short time at best, after which the value drops to around 60 watts within one run. Note that this applies to the CPU on "Boost" within Razer Synapse. In the normal setting, the CPU should rather reach around 45 watts.

Overall, the Blade is slightly above the expected level. The predecessor is beaten by about 20%. But the Legion 5 in particular shows even better results. Its powerful i7-12700H even leaves models with an i9 in the dust.

The CPU only achieves a TDP of 35 watts on battery power. Accordingly, the Cinebench R15 score drops to 1,466 points, a decrease of almost 45%!

DPC latencies

LatencyMon already registers slight latencies just by opening the Edge browser, which increase on our home page when we open multiple tabs.

The subsequent playback of our 4K/60 fps YouTube video increases the latencies further, but the video is at least rendered without dropped frames.

Storage

Razer has installed a Samsung NVMe SSD with 1 TB of storage space in our review configuration. The SSD is ranked 7th in our HDD/SSD Benchmarks article, making it one of the fastest models available.

The storage solution also achieves very good rates in comparison, but the same model is even slightly faster in the Legion. The continuous performance is beyond reproach as well.

Gaming performance

Needless to say, the RTX 3070 Ti is capable of running almost any game in the native resolution and at high details smoothly. For performance enthusiasts, though, the question of how many more frames you can get out of the system by buying the RTX 3080 Ti variant arises.

In The Witcher 3, the advantage of the RTX 3080 Ti is 12% in Full HD and maximum details. In Far Cry 5, the gap shrinks to 8% with the same settings. In 2K, the lead is 18%.

We measure very variable differences in Cyberpunk. While both cards are practically on par in Full HD, we only measure a bigger difference starting at 2K, where it's a considerable 22%.

Overall, the Blade 17 doesn't extract the maximum out of its RTX 3070 Ti, but the differences to the RTX 3080 Ti model are still rather small up to Full HD. However, the RTX 3080 Ti achieves a noticeable lead in the Blade's native resolution, even though most games should also run smoothly with the RTX 3070. Buying the better version will probably only be relevant when you plan to play on an external 4K display.

Emissions - Slightly cooler

Noise emissions

The slightly lower performance makes us expect a somewhat quieter and cooler system.

The fans are usually inactive in idle usage, even when using the maximum performance settings. The Razer Blade is one of the quieter devices under load, but there are no positive differences compared to the model with the RTX 3080 Ti.

Temperature

The palm rests at least always remain cool, and the metal case conducts the waste heat particularly well to the outside. And in fact, the RTX 3070 Ti Blade does stay a bit cooler than its beefed-up counterpart, both in idle usage and under load. Hot spots of 45 °C (~113 °F) during gaming are very moderate.

Stress test

The cores begin our stress test at around 3.2 GHz. It only takes a short time for the clock speed to settle at around 2.2 GHz, after which it remains quite stable. The temperatures reach a moderate 75 °C (~167 °C), and the maximum of 86 °C (~187 °F) is only reached for a short period of time.

The GPU's core clock fluctuates quite strongly between 1.1 and 1.8 GHz. In addition, the memory clock speed drops from 1,750 to 1,500 MHz from time to time. The GPU temperature is below 70 °C (~158 °F).

Therefore, there's still headroom for both the CPU and the GPU, and the temperatures remain at a very moderate level.

	CPU clock speed (GHz)	GPU clock speed (MHz)	Average CPU temperature (°C)	Average GPU Temperature (°C)
System idle	2.3	1,410	45 (~113 °F)	50 (~122 °F)
Prime95 + FurMark stress	2.2	1,482	74 (~165 °F)	67 (~153 °F)

Speakers

The Razer Blade's speakers are among the better ones in the class comparison. Although the bass has room for improvement, it's not as thin and tinny as in most other laptops. The mids and highs are very balanced, and the speakers can also get pretty loud.

Only a combined headset port in the form of an audio jack is available for the analog connection of external audio devices.

Energy management - More frugal than the top model

Energy consumption

The GPU difference really becomes noticeable when it comes to power consumption. In all scenarios, including in idle usage, the RTX 3070 Ti configuration consumes significantly less than its RTX 3080 Ti counterpart.

When playing The Witcher 3, our review model consumes about 25 watts less, and the short-term absolute maximum consumption is roughly lower by the same amount as well. Consumption briefly soars to 248 watts in our stress test, but it's 204 watts on average.

The 280-watt power adapter, which has been particularly reduced in size by Razer, is still available in our configuration, which means that there's always enough power in reserve.

Power Consumption

Idle	14.4 / 20 / 21.5 Watt

Battery life

The battery hasn't been reduced in our model; Razer has equipped it with 82 Wh. However, a positive effect can only be noticed under load. When browsing the web or watching a video, only the internal GPU is active, so the battery runtimes don't differ significantly here.

Depending on the brightness setting, you can browse the web for 4 to almost 6 hours. You can plan a movie night for around the same time. It's important to change the refresh rate from 240 to 60 Hz on battery power in order to get longer runtimes. For reference: The difference in runtimes between using Wi-Fi at reduced brightness is 274 minutes at 240 Hz versus 353 minutes at 60 Hz. The indicated video value was generated at 240 Hz.

Verdict - Cooler and more frugal

The Razer Blade 17, provided by Cyberport

The Razer Blade is a highly recommendable gaming and productivity laptop with the RTX 3070 Ti as well. Maybe it's even more recommendable than the top configuration with the RTX 3080 Ti, since our review model remains cooler and, above all, it's much more frugal while still being able to display all games smoothly up to the native resolution.

You'll be hard pressed to find any real points of criticism for the Blade: A webcam cover would be nice, and you have to look for special keys, such as the one that controls the display brightness, using a magnifying glass when it's dark. The RTX 3070 Ti doesn't perform consistently at its best in all games, and it's outperformed by laptops with the same GPU at times. The stress test reveals that there would still be enough reserves available for an even higher 3D performance in terms of thermal throttling.

The Razer Blade 17 with the RTX 3070 Ti is a very powerful and thoroughly recommendable laptop, provided that you have the required spending capacity.

Alternatives to the 17-inch Blade in terms of quality are currently still rare. If you can go for something smaller, you should take a look at the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16 G7 with its 16-inch QHD display and the same GPU, since it's very good and has a slightly higher performance. However, it's also considerably thicker than the Blade. But it's also noticeably cheaper.

A C64 marked my entry into the world of PCs. I spent my student internship in the repair department of a computer shop and at the end of the day I was allowed to assemble my own 486 PC from “workshop remnants”. As a result of this, I later studied computer science at the Humboldt University in Berlin, with psychology also being added to my studies. After my first job as a research assistant at the university, I went to London for a year and worked for Sega in computer game translation quality assurance. This included working on games such as Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed and Company of Heroes. I have been writing for Notebookcheck since 2017.

I've been fascinated with technology ever since I got my very first Android smartphone, which was quite a while ago. The power packed into such a small footprint still amazes me. Learning to program made my understanding of technology deeper, and at the same time, it expanded my interest to the area of desktop computers and laptops. All this led me to enjoy reading and watching reviews of new devices, and that's how I stumbled upon Notebookcheck. I immediately found their reviews to be very comprehensive, and luckily, I've even had the chance of translating them since 2019. When it comes to the huge field of technology, I'm currently also interested in specializing in Java programming.
