Lenovo LOQ 17 Gaming Laptop Levels Up With New 12GB RTX 5070 GPU
In case you missed it, NVIDIA added the 12GB VRAM variant to its lineup at the end of April as a response to the ongoing memory crunch caused by unprecedented demand for AI hardware. The expanded memory model swaps 2-gigabyte (GB) / 16-gigabit (Gb) chips for 3GB (24Gb) chips to increase the amount of VRAM from 8GB to 12GB. Otherwise, the specs are the same across both models, including the 128-bit memory bus.
“Demand for GeForce RTX GPUs remains strong, and memory supply is constrained. In order to maximize memory availability, we are releasing the GeForce RTX 5070 laptop GPU 12GB configuration with 24Gb G7 memory. This gives our partners access to an additional pool of memory to complement the 16Gb G7 supply that currently ships with most GeForce GPUs,” NVIDIA said at the time.
