For this weekend only, Lenovo has dropped the price of its powerful Lenovo Legion Tower 7i Gen 8 RTX 4080 Super gaming PC to $2,346.99 after coupon code: “EXTRAFIVE“. In our recent Legion Tower 7 review (the sample we received wasn’t as powerful as this one), Jacqueline Thomas wrote that “The Legion Tower 7i is an incredibly powerful gaming PC, especially for the money you’re likely going to be paying for it. If all you want is a powerful, upgradeable machine without having to go through the trouble of building it yourself, it’s hard to find many gaming PCs better than this one.”

The Lenovo Legion Tower 7i Gen 8 is equipped with an Intel Core i9-14900KF CPU, GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER GPU, 32GB of DDR5-4000MHz RAM, and a 2TB PCIe NVMe SSD. The unlocked 14th gen Intel Core i9-14900KF Raptor Lake “Refresh” CPU boasts a max Turbo clock of 6GHz with 24 cores, 32 threads, and a 36MB cache. It’s still one of the most powerful Intel CPUs available (in many cases it even beats out the new Intel Core Ultra 9 285K). The processor is cooled by a 360mm all-in-one liquid cooling system that rivals many enthusiast setups.
The RTX 4080 Super is Nvidia’s second most powerful RTX 40 series card. You’ll be able to handle any game in 4K at high frame rates, even with ray tracing enabled. It’s 5-10% faster in performance than the RTX 4080 thanks to its higher base clock speed, higher CUDA core count, and higher memory bandwidth. It trades blows with AMD’s most powerful GPU, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX, but the RTX 4080 Super pulls ahead in ray tracing performance and where DLSS 3.0 is supported.
How does the RTX 4080 stack up against current cards?
Although the GeForce RTX 4080 Super is a generation old, it’s still one of the most powerful cards out there. It handily outperforms AMD’s new RX 9070 and 9070 XT GPUs and Nvidia’s RTX 5070. It’s pretty much identical in performance to the RTX 5070 Ti and loses only about 10% to the RTX 5080.
Alternative: Lenovo RTX 4070 Ti Super Gaming PC for $1985

Lenovo is also offering another Lenovo Legion Tower 7i configuration, this time equipped with an RTX 4070 Ti Super graphics card and 1TB SSD (rest of the specs remain the same), for $1985.49 after coupon code “EXTRAFIVE” is applied. That’s about $350 less than the 4080 Super configuration and a better deal if you plan on gaming at 1080p or 1440p.
The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super is a great card for gaming at any resolution, from 1080p all the way to 4K. At 1080p and 1440p you’ll be able to achieve 144fps or beyond in most games, so it pairs best with FHD or QHD monitors with high refresh rates. 4K is a much more demanding resolution, but you should still be able to run most games at a consistent 60fps. Compared to the new Blackwell cards, the RTX 4070 Ti Super is significantly more powerful than the RTX 5070 and only about 10%-15% less powerful than the RTX 5070 Ti. The RTX 4070 Ti Super also has the same amount of VRAM as the RTX 5070 Ti and 5080, although it does use older generation GDDR6 instead of GDDR7.
