Lenovo Legion Y740 Review: Shadow Of Mordor And Rise of the Tomb Raider
With its high-end 6-core Core i7 processor and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 2070 Max-Q GPU, the Lenovo Legion Y740 is plenty capable of running today's games. We started our actual game tests with Middle Earth: Shadow Of Mordor and Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Middle Earth: Shadow Of Mordor is a great looking game, that's fun to play as well. We tested the Lenovo Legion Y740 with the High image quality preset and various moderate resolutions.
In our first real-world gaming benchmark the difference between the RTX 2070 and GTX 1070 is about 5%. That's not huge, but both put up impressive numbers. Also remember, the previous gen Lenovo Y730 had a GTX 1050 Ti, which would have trailed the rest of the pack here, so the Y740 represents a major upgrade.
Shadow Of War is a newer game and more taxing on a graphics card. Unfortunately, we don't have a full set of numbers to share from other gaming notebooks, but were able to test the GTX 1070-powered Alienware 17 R4. As you can see, the RTX 2070 Max Q in the Y740 was about 17% - 22% faster here, depending on the resolution.

Rise of the Tomb Raider started as a console port, but the developer updated it with a DirectX 12 code path and enhanced graphics modes fro the PC. It supports visual effects, like Ambient Occlusion, Depth of Field, Dynamic Foliage, Bloom shaders, Tessellation and more.
