It comes with eight cores and 16 threads of processing power and a nominal max clock speed of up to 4.6GHz. Despite the name, this is more like the Ryzen 7 5800X (opens in new tab) of the desktop AMD 5000-series CPUs. The graphics chip is always going to be something we spend a lot of time talking about with a gaming laptop, but it's the AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX that's brought us here in the first place. Of course you'll buy the Razer Blade 14 because of its shape, style, and size but, if you've spent out on an RTX 3080 version, it's going to be hard not to feel a sting from knowing you'll be getting noticeably slower gaming performance than your 15-inch laptop peers. Performance in 2021 is inextricably linked to thermals.īut with an RTX 3060 inside it, the cooling doesn't limit its frame rates, certainly not in relation to any other gaming laptop we've seen sporting the same GPU. Though you may not like the aesthetic, or even the noise it might generate, you'll have to appreciate the frame rates.
That means the restrictive confines of the Blade 14's design will inevitably deliver lower gaming performance from a GPU as hungry as an RTX 3080 than if it was used in the beefier 15-inch chassis.ĭrop the RTX 3080 into a hulking brute of a Gigabyte Aorus notebook and you'll really see that GPU fly. Whatever you want to say about the chassis and the cooling it affords the internal components, performance in 2021 is inextricably linked to thermals.
#RAZER BLADE SKIN 1080P#
I've picked up the Razer Blade 14 with Nvidia's RTX 3060 graphics silicon at its heart and, with a 100W TDP, and a 1080p 144Hz screen attached to it, I'm convinced this is the ideal version of what is effectively a gaming ultrabook. Honestly, this is the gaming laptop spec for me, though I'm going to say something you might not want to hear: While you absolutely can fit this slimline notebook with an RTX 3080 GPU, you really shouldn't.
