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

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.

Christian Hintze, 👁 Christian Hintze (translated by Stephanie Chamberlain), 05/13/2022 🇩🇪 🇨🇳 ...

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 0.8 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 18 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (23.4 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 0.692 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 16 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (37 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: 52 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 21941 (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.
