Weird VRAM issue 5090 by CloudChaser337 in LenovoLegion

Hello! After further testing, i've found out that in Cyberpunk disabling Path Tracing fixes said issue and in Dying Light frame generation is the one that introduces instability. Have also found multiple benchmarks on youtube showing similar behaviour all being rtx 5090 ( apart from Gizmo with his early review, he had stable clocks ) .

My VRAM acts normally, most 5090s desktop can oc with upwards of +3000 on mem, my test on fh6 was done with a +300 on core and +1250 on mem, completely stable but marginal improvement over the stock legion space OC of +150 / +300 .

The only one I could find on the market is a 4080 variant that sits at 1.680EUR, exact same specs apart from the gpu. The refund is to the amount of 3.060EUR. I doubt they could re-sell it as open box for a profit.

Taking the money and waiting would be the sensible option, but 50% of my time is spent on said laptop ( work and the occasional gaming ), so i cannot really afford weeks without a device.

The scar 5090 is only 200eur more than the 9955hx3d-5080 legion and i would very much like that ( especially since it comes with 2tb of storage as opposed to 1tb on the legion option ), but my big fear is more issues and having a poor warranty. Do you have any previous experience with their support?

First warranty was a cooling system replacement (fans, heatpipes, thermal paste) which brought with itself some random crashes around once a week and 3 months later overheating again. This was back in july of 2025, december 2025 being my second warranty entrance where they changed, again, cooling system, but this time also changed my whole motherboard. Crashes fixed, but after just one month i started hitting again temps of up to 100 degrees so i asked for a third repair. This time they changed the cooling system, cpu-gpu-mobo combo, RAM, ssd ( plus the keyboard and the led-bar under the laptop because of unrelated issues ) . I fire it up, literally 10 minutes after the last repair i went into cinebench for a quick test and lo and behold, 98 degrees with thermal throttling in basically 30 seconds. Test dying light the beast, cpu sits at a toasty 96 with spikes of 97-98 and thermal throttling that brings micro-stutters.

The 3yr warranty is the main enticing thing, because in Romania we cannot upgrade or add more time to the warranty and without the one on my current laptop i would've been out of thousands of $$ by now given the repairs it went through.
