Geekbench 5.4 (artificial performance benchmark) These are all comfortably above 30 fps, which is generally the minimum frame rate you'd want for a modern game. At 4K settings with the graphical options cranked up to Nvidia-recommended settings, Assassin's Creed Valhalla ran at 38 fps Dirt 5 ran at 48 fps Grand Theft Auto V ran at 35 fps and Shadow of the Tomb Raider ran at 33 fps.

That brings us to another important point: the Blade 17 has a full 4K screen, which is a relative rarity among gaming laptops. This could be due to a difference in drivers, or it could be that the Blade 17 is simply not optimized for lower resolutions.

In Grand Theft Auto V and Shadow of the Tomb Raider, however, the Blade 17's performance was a bit more mixed, falling considerably short of the Maingear Vector Pro. In Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Dirt 5, the Blade 17 performed better across the board. Razer Blade 17 (2021) review: Gaming performance You won't need to worry about the machine's performance outstripping its refresh rate. While running 4K games at 120 fps sounds like a dream come true, gaming laptops aren't quite ready to do that yet - the absolute best we got were brief bursts of Final Fantasy XIV at 115 fps. With a 120 Hz screen, the Blade 17 is also perfectly poised to run games at 4K settings. It's hard to overstate just how deep the blacks and just how vibrant the colors look on this 4K OLED screen. The bigger difference is qualitative: an OLED screen simply looks better most of the time, particularly for dark images that require subtle contrast. Granted, the Blade 17 is not quite as colorful as the Vector Pro, or as color-accurate as either machine (a lower delta-E means better color accuracy), but there's not a tremendous difference in benchmarks.

Compared against the similarly powerful Maingear Vector Pro and Razer's other heavy hitter, the Razer Blade Advanced 15, the Blade 17 more than holds its own, offering the best brightness of the three, and a better coverage of the sRGB spectrum than the Blade 15.
