Graphics
The graphical side is powered by the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 with 8GB GDDR7, a GPU from the GeForce RTX 50 series based on NVIDIA Blackwell architecture. This generation brings a strong boost in artificial intelligence, DLSS 4, faster image generation, and support for NVIDIA Studio, designed to deliver high performance in both gaming and creator applications.
Display
The 17.3-inch display with a resolution of QHD 2560 x 1440 pixels and a refresh rate of 240Hz is one of the notebook's strongest points. The combination of a large diagonal, resolution superior to Full HD, and very high refresh rate makes the panel particularly suitable for smooth gaming, as well as for work and multimedia content, where visual space and sharpness make a difference.
