The Lenovo Legion Tower 5 Gen 8 features an AMD Ryzen 7 7700 processor paired with NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4070 Super graphics card, delivering excellent gaming performance. This configuration comes with 16GB DDR5 RAM and a speedy 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD for storage.

The Ryzen 7 7700 boasts impressive specs with its 5.3GHz max boost clock, 8 cores and 16 threads supported by a generous 32MB L3 cache. Cooled by a robust 120mm tower heatsink fan, this processor delivers comparable gaming performance to Intel's 13th-gen Core i7 CPUs, particularly at higher resolutions where GPU performance becomes the limiting factor. It also handles workstation tasks competently, except for the most demanding multi-core applications.

The RTX 4070 Super remains a capable graphics card for modern gaming at up to 1440p resolutions. Performance-wise, it closely matches Nvidia's newer RTX 5070 GPUs. Recent reviews highlight this surprising parity - according to Jackie Thomas' RTX 5070 analysis: "While Nvidia's RTX 5070 offers moderate improvements over the standard RTX 4070, it struggles to maintain an advantage against the RTX 4070 Super." Her testing showed the newer card averaging just 4% better performance across all resolutions.

Nvidia RTX 4070 Super Review by Jacqueline Thomas

"The RTX 4070 Super represents the capable $600 graphics card we deserved when Nvidia initially launched its 4000-series lineup. Offering significantly better performance than the original RTX 4070 along with increased VRAM capacity improves its longevity. Remarkably, Nvidia maintained the original $599 price point rather than further taxing PC gamers with another price hike for what's supposed to be mid-range hardware. If you're GPU shopping with a $600 budget, this currently stands as the best option available."
