[UPDATE] Razer Blade 15 ft. Intel 9th Gen processor

RazerRanixI personnaly think that there is only 2 options with this new generation of RTX laptop: You want the best performance in a thin 15" laptop, you don t care about price/performance ratio: go rtx2080. You care about price/perfomance ratio or don't need/want the best: go maxq 1070 with big discount. At least that the way I see it. RTX is a gimmick for now, especially on a laptop where turning on RTX really give poor performance. DLSS might help in the future, but you pay expensive now for a tech that you will not enjoy before at least months. I am going for the 2080 because I can aford it and because I know that I will change at the next generation (especially with oled and better gpu). Else I might just have go for a 1070 maxQ at discount price. smart assessment.. was thinking of this myself.. my blade with 970 seems abit old now.... I wonder whether there is still value in the resale market for this beast of mine...

[UPDATE] Razer Blade 15 ft. Intel 9th Gen processor

PreystationTrolling aside, did you guys see the benchmark results? On titles without ray tracing, at 4k, 2080 rtx is actually not performing well. Joikansai are you getting one? 2080RTX totally blast all the other cards that are in the market. the one in the new blade is the maxq version, we see a rough 20% drop in performance.. that is of course we are talking about 1080 resolution... forgive me.. but gaming on 4k is nonsense because framerate/refresh is higher priority. especially in competitive titles... ray tracing is just too new and should be sort of ignored for now... im hoping for the 2080 without the ray tracing... they did have a leaked on the 1660 TI on the turing architecture.. but its a **60. not **80.... so.... if we are talking about desktop, we should just stick to the cheaper 1080 or get a 2070rtx and forget about the ray tracing abilities (if price is a concern)

What would you like to see next from Razer?

I'm wishing for a razer trade in program for razer blades... so far the blade has been working well.. but I'm pretty sure we will all be more open to upgrade if there is a program that allow us to trade in the old machines...

Razer Blade 15 Low FPS

are you experiencing this with other games? I suggest trying the following first: 1) reinstall the graphic drivers 2) optimize game using geforce experience. 3) use razer game booster. this usually solves most of my problems.

GTFL_DADLast question - any suggestions on a Dimm kit to maximize speed and total ram? I assume 64gig from the description is the most, so looking for the best gaming kit to get. as far as i know, intel systems does not support anything more than 2933mhz ram natively due to CPU locking by intel. OC of ram is only restricted to high end desktop processors and MB using XMP. Thus on the laptop anything more would technically be a waste

GTFL_DADDoes the new 17" Pro 4k version have all of the same features as the 15" advanced? The description on the website doesn't seem to list everything the same. Does 17" allow charging through USB C ports? Does 17" have the same quality audio? Is the 17" keyboard as good as the 15" keyboard (looks like they have different descriptions) And .. has anyone 100% confirmed that the 4k version has 16gb vram on the 3080? Lastly, the storage upgradability. It shows that it has a 1tb m2 drive in both 15 and 17" as well as an open m2 slot, yet the 17" also lists sata and pcie support. Does this mean you can have more than the 2 m2 hard drives? Can you have 2 M2 hard drives and a sata drive? 15" QHD 240 vs 17" 4k 120 - What should I do?!?!? as the website, both blade advance and pro supports 20V charging via usb C PD. audio. No idea. Keyboard looks the same based on spec. No info on the 16gb variant on the 3080. Note that the QHD 240 has the new nvidia optimus and G-sync. Im actu

BLADE 15 RTX 30 SERIES | Still the Best Gaming Laptop

Saw your post and i found that what you have mentioned is true and almost similar to me. After much thoughts and comparisons I finally placed my order on Razer Store for my Blade 15 (Base), RTX 3070, QHD to replace my battle-worn blade 15 970m (Since 2015). My old blade has served me well.. Yes true that i am going to miss out on intel 11 gen. or the new AMD series. truth is, i do not see razer allowing a ryzen cpu on the blade due to the thunderbolt certification any time soon. 3070 should do the trick for the foreseeable future.. Can't wait! Reaper-IWPTomorrow I will be getting my new Blade 15 the RTX 3070, with 144Hz QHD display. I am at the point where time feels like it’s slowing down as It gets closer. I thought a lot about waiting to get one of the Advanced Blades but I have already got a full size Chroma Keyboard, Naga Trinity Mouse, & Tartarus Pro from Razer so it wasn’t as big of a loss. I also decided to price out maxing the RAM to 64GB & getting two 1TB SSD, which I had

Received my blade 15 RTX 3070 165Hz. Received the following benchmark results. Strangely there seems to be a problem with the internal display not detecting the high refresh rate. Reaching out to support team seperately

XrayNorthWestThanks for posting! The GPU score looks good for a lower TDP RTX 3070 (maybe 13% better than the Blade 15 with RTX super 2070 max-q?). What settings did you have before running the benchmark or was this out of the box as-is? The Aero with the RTX 3080 hit 9646 graphics (105W TDP) as another data point. Out of the box with all the newest drivers that is available. System on performance mode via razer synapse. Also I ran this on native 1440p if that matters

BLADE 15 RTX 30 SERIES | Still the Best Gaming Laptop

easytruckBeauBlue589IGN posted a review of the MSI GS66 Stealth (https://www.ign.com/articles/msi-gs66-stealth-review). Their unit had the QHD 240hz screen wth G-Sync and Advanced Optimus. The same one the new Razer Blade 15 Advanced is using. They mentioned some issues which concern me: “It’s a good system for enhancing battery life, but it’s not without its hiccups. With integrated graphics, you’re limited to a 60Hz refresh rate, which is a noticeable drop in fluidity even when moving the mouse. I often opted to use the RTX 3080 when running on battery, but this had its own issue: if I left it on “Nvidia GPU Only” the laptop’s display would often not turn on following a reboot, forcing me to restart it a second time.” Can anyone confirm if this is true? With Advanced Optimus you only get 60hz running on iGPU? And if you change to dGPU only the display intermittently doesn’t come on? This would be a show stopper for me and I was considering the new Blade The reply I got from razer

BLADE 15 RTX 30 SERIES | Still the Best Gaming Laptop

webmichWould be a shame if we are limited to 60 with optimus (igpu active). Hope they can fix this, since I believe the igpu should be able to handle at least 120@1440. With 120 on igpu, battery should be not be that bad compared to 60, but the screen/mouse should be smooth while not gaming (browsing web etc). Will do some testing myself when my blade 15 advanced (3070) arrives. If this can’t be fixed I may be returning, since 60 restriction on a 240 display/laptop (when not using dgpu) is a joke. If I am get this correct, with dgpu you get 240, in the very moment you exit the game/app using dgpu and switching back to igpu the display sets it self to 60 and there is no way to change this (even not through windows display settings etc itself)? So if you want your display to refresh higher then 60 while browsing web for example you have to use dgpu only? But when you do dgpu only sometimes the display will not turn on?! Not that advanced this optimus if this is true... I can't confi

easytruckBeauBlue589Thanks for the responses. These are definitely show stopper issues for me with the new Blade. So disappointing :-( Previously I wrote that there were some issues with my panel. Turns out its due to the newest nvidia geforce driver causing issues. I rolled back the driver and disable optimus. Now the desktop is running at 165hz on my blade 15 3070.

easytruckBeauBlue589Really? That’s great to hear. What about if you set to dGPU on that driver? Does the screen consistently come on after reboot? As of now everything seems working like it should.

lanxingervery disappointed. no AMD 5000 series and only 8GB of video memory on the highest end models .. sorry Razer but that is too little to justify this pricing. The only issues for now is thunderbolt port certification. Once this is more mainstream then maybe they will consider.

BLADE 15 RTX 30 SERIES | Still the Best Gaming Laptop

DyspareuniaFor the Razer Blade 15 Advanced RTX 3080, what are the maximum denomination of memory and SSD storage space that can be installed? Default memory is 32GB dual-channel DDR4-2933MHz (16GB x 2) and default storage space is 1TB SSD (M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4) and was wondering what the top end maximums were for this model. as far as i know, RAM will be a maximum of 64GB. (2x32GB sticks of DDR4 @ 2933mhz) SSD wise, the system do come with an empty M.2. i added another 1 TB to my system on that. no idea on the MAXIMUM.

PaulRTX2080BladeI see that the Razer Blade Advanced 2021 4K OLED with RTX 3080 now only says it has 8gb of VRAM on thr product pages! Is this correct? Serial number is same as before and up until yesterday it said it had 16 GB of VRAM for the GPU (serial: RZ09-0367CE53-R3U1). Is it a webpage glitch? Has anyone received the 4K OLED with RTX 3080 16GB VRAM? As far as i know, only the pro 17 inch 4K 120HZ has the 16gb version.
