The Legion Pro 7/7i Gen 9 16IRX9H offers two discrete NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics options:
In addition to the integrated [[Intel UHD Graphics]], the ROG Zephyrus M16 (2022) ships with the following discrete GPUs<ref name="specs" />:
* NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU with 12GB GDDR6 memory, a boost clock of 2280 MHz, and a total graphics power (TGP) of 175W.
*[[Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop]] GPU with 6 GB GDDR6 memory, 1475 MHz boost clock, and 120 W [[Total Graphics Power|Total Graphics Power (TGP)]] with ROG Boost.
* NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU with 16GB GDDR6 memory, a boost clock of 2040 MHz, and a TGP of 175W.
*[[Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop]] GPU with 8 GB GDDR6 memory, 120 W TGP with ROG Boost.
*[[Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop]] GPU with 16 GB GDDR6 memory, 1175 MHz boost clock, and 120 W TGP with ROG Boost.


Both GPUs support advanced features such as Advanced Optimus, DLSS 3.5, Dynamic Boost 2.0, and are VR ready with DirectX 12 Ultimate support. These GPUs are designed to handle demanding gaming and creative tasks, providing high performance and visual fidelity.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/Legion/Legion_Pro_7_16IRX9H/Legion_Pro_7_16IRX9H_Spec.pdf#:~:text=NVIDIA%C2%AE%20GeForce%20RTX%E2%84%A2%20Discrete%20GDDR6 |title=Legion Pro 7 16IRX9H - Technical Specifications |publisher=Lenovo |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>
The RTX 3070 Ti in the Zephyrus M16 is slightly below average in performance compared to other laptops with the same GPU, primarily due to its 120 W TGP limit. However, it still outperforms the previous generation RTX 3070 by 38%.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-ROG-Zephyrus-M16-laptop-review-A-well-rounded-gaming-package.695620.0.html#:~:text=Overall%2C%20the%20speed%20of%20the%20120%2DW%20graphics%20card%20is%20about%207%20to%2012%25%20slower%20than%20the%20average%20RTX%203070%20Ti%20in%20our%20database. |title=Asus ROG Zephyrus M16 laptop review: A well-rounded gaming package |publisher=Notebookcheck |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>


The RTX 4080 graphics card performs well, handling top games with ease at frame rates that are more than playable. However, for those seeking the best performance, the upgrade to an RTX 4090 graphics card is recommended.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.xda-developers.com/lenovo-legion-pro-7i-gen-9-review/#:~:text=The%20RTX%204080%20graphics%20card%20will%20perform%20better%20than%20other%20RTX%204080%20laptops%20in%20some%20instances |title=Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 9 review |publisher=XDA Developers |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>
