Hi guys, I have a Legion laptop (3070ti) and I use It mainly for video editing and gaming. If I work with 10bits I have more fidelity in HDR or graded in Rec709?

Your question is worded a little strangely and I'm not quite sure what you're asking, so I'll give you some general information instead of directly answering.

HDR is High Dynamic Range, so by definition you will have more colour fidelity by having it enabled (as long as your monitor also supports it).

To my knowledge, the act of grading is to modify colours to appear properly on different screens. This sometimes means reducing the gamut (for example, grading HDR footage into 8bit Rec.709), which of course means less dynamic range.

According to this review ( I don't know what model you have) the hdr isn't that good. I would be be wary of any hdr with a laptop monitor, but I haven't bought used a laptop in quite some time so they could have gotten better than what I remember.

If it's calibration isn't off then why not? Hdr and wide color gamut shouldn't be mutually exclusive.
