I see 100 Watts which is what I expected but I also see Dynamic Boost 2.0 yes.

Did you try playing around with synapse profile? On older blade model switching that increase the cpu and gpu tdp. Dynamic boost might not be optimized yet, from other brands review apparently when cpu runs on lower tdp the gpu will boost some wattage.
I agree 1080p is too low for the 17". I returned mine and got the 4k with 2080 super last year. I agree that QHD would be "just right".

I'm betting there won't be too much difference in performance between the 3070 and 3080 based on the small differences in performance between the 2070 and 2080 in the Razers and that the mobile 3080 is so pared down in features compared to the desktop. I suppose benchmarks will tell the story.
I would like to get an extra power adapter for the 2021 4k 17" pro. Does anyone know which one to get? Nothing says this model but would any from the 2020 17" 4k version work as well?

Here’s benchmarks from a user. He has other gaming play video as well.



This model I’m pretty sure use same 230 watt AC adapter as previous models and blade 15 advanced models that use 230 watt one.




Love the video. I am seeing the same kind of performance in 4k which is just awesome!

The Fire Strike score is approx. 12% better than the last Alienware M17 R3 RTX 2080 Super I tested with OC'ing.

That said, the Fire Strike benchmark is really not great at capturing where the improvements are going in these GPUs. It would be great to see a Time Spy Extreme benchmark of the RB 17 4K with RTX 3080 as that would be a better analysis of some of the improvements in the three series cards.

laptop with rtx wow
I was about to pull the trigger on one of these until I realised that they don’t have a DisplayPort.

That means no external support for 3440x1440 at 120Hz with GSYNC. (Alienware AW3420DW).

Looks like Razer has switched to the less popular HDMI 2.1 connection - good for new oled TVs - bad for monitors.

It’s a shame that Razer couldn’t also support DP via USBC or ditch the Thunderbolt port and give us MiniDP.

Usb c should do what display port does, since probably TB3 connected directly to CPU other usb c maybe to gpu which means can pull out g sync, it’s similar with blade 15 usb c that I saw from users can pull out g sync.

It appears that the TB3 port may support DP with just a TB3 USBC connection to DP.

As a result I’m going to order one and if it doesn’t work then I’ll just return it. I have reached out to a Razer for clarification regarding DP support to save the hassle of a potential return, but no reply.
What a beast i want one
