“If I hook up an external 1080p monitor to this via HDMI, will the performance and frame rate in games be the same on the external monitor as it is on the laptops own display (all settings identical)? Or do you get worse performance when using HDMI output?”

This Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Gaming Laptop, model number 82K201XCUS, ships with the discrete, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti GPU, with 4GB GDDR6 VRAM on the card, and has a Boost Clock of 1485 / 1597.5MHz with a TGP of 85W, and has 1x HDMI 2.0 video out connection and supports up to 2 independent displays (native display and 1 external monitor via HDMI). HDMI supports up to 3840x2162@60Hz. HDMI 2.0 carries combinations like 1440p 165Hz with no issue, and for 1080p, frame rates of 240Hz are no problem, depending on the capability of the monitor you use.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.For Ideapads, you cant turn Optimus off, which is why you get the same performance. The limitation is the data path through the IGP. You can spend more and get the Legion (I have a Slim 7 also, for example).
