Good job man lots of work 👏
Hey Filt3rless do you think you could do a video on optimizing your Legion Go?
Things like best drivers, and best graphic settings?
You said asus rog ally best for lenovo legio go😂
@@matthewgould9391 Hey, I found Performance for the "Thermal Mode" and Efficiency for the "OS Power Mode" works well can gives you 20 watts. Then if it's a less demanding game, 1200p looks a lot better than 800p. I found 800p is looking a bit blurry on my device in a lot of games. The latest AMD Driver are working well for me, and it's what I run on the Ally as well. I have a tutorial here if you're interested: ruclips.net/video/lT7NdZRMQe4/видео.html.

Hello bro thanks for the video but i need to know who is best in resident evil 4 i mean even compare with steam deck
I dont usually comment on videos but mate this was probably one of the best benchmark video I've ever seen
my dude out here puttin in work!!! appreciate the vid and love my Ally. Good to see the handheld market heating up!
Sacré travail que tu as effectué ! J'imagine le temps passé pour cette vidéo. Intéressant et précis, merci.👍
I remember when the Ally launched and the drivers and firmware were about as bad as the Legion Go's are now. Asus made massive improvements over time (especially in the 15w mode) and hopefully Lenovo will do the same.
I'm pretty positive Lenovo will do the same, their Legion line-up is pretty established at this point so it's only a matter of time.
TOMORROW!
@@atiq8987what tomorrow xd?
new updates@@MartinaBuchner-zq7qj
Yea selling Lenovo stuff they are not very good at software improvements, es the reason I don't recommend their brand, Asus has better support
Attention to detail is awesome. No other reviewer gets to this kind of info
This is fantastic work, sir. Thank you very much for putting in this time. It is very helpful. I have owned an Ally since August, I don't have more $ to burn and spend on the Go, but damn, it's very cool. I am still very please with the performance of the Ally.
Awesome video! Shared on the Legion Go server!
What a crazy awesome video, some massive work behind it!
Thanks man. This is incredible how accurate and nice comparison you created. You are the most reliable source for these handhelds in my opinion!
Thanks a bunch man!
The Legion Go, like the Ally when it came out at 15 watts, sets the GPU frequencies lower and therefore performance is poorer.
You would have to compare cpu and gpu frequencies and utilisation for the same watts. I appreciate the work behind this video.
This killed it bro. Good job on the comparison!
That was a huge effort put into that video, thank you. Most definitely the Go for me, apart from the bigger screen, to compete with the Ally after about two weeks after launch is great. Plus, the SD card breaking issue and my bad experience with an Asus laptop I bought 2 months ago helps to make up my mind.
One of the best comparisons I’ve seen so far and more in line with what I expected in the up to 20w range. The Go has to use more power for it’s display and the faster ram so it’s short for the APU
I subscribed, that took a ton of work much appreciated !
This is a fantastic benchmark video. By far the best I have seen for the Ally and Go. Thank you for the hours you spent on this!
Once again doing god's work out here! Thanks for the hard work!
Filterless my guy, the RUclipsr we never knew we needed. Appreciate your hard work!
This video is better than every review when it comes to performance.... Showing side by side footage with the stats exactly what customers need not someone opinion when he could easily display the facts to you.....
These kind of videos I decide which CPU or GPU to pick
Up this review! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great job man!
Good stuff brother!
Great review!!
Great work! 👍
This is great work. I keep coming back to this video all the time.
Nice work on the video.
Very nice video bro!!!
Thank you for this!
Hey, I saw you commented on the HYPR-RX video. I ended up setting the video to private as I need to do further testing into Radeon Boost. For your question about RSR, you'll want to make sure you're running 900p on the desktop as well as in-game. If it's not set to 900p in game, you'll have to change it to 900p then restart the game. Let me know if that works :)
don't forget that the Ally alread had many months of software-optimization, while the Legion Go was just born. You should compare it to the 1.0 Software version of the Ally to get a fair comparison.
Wtf 😂. How on earth people will test the device with original bios when is pretty damn risky to downgrade bios. What have you been smoking 🤦. Lenovo should have released the device at this price tags better optimized. People who buy will just have to endure months of shit performance for the price tag unless Lenovo drops the price.
Nice vid. Keep em coming. Thank you. Btw rdr2 and many more games look so smooth on the ally due to the VRR. ❤
Appreciate it! :) It makes a huge difference to me too. Makes 45FPS feel like you're hitting 70-80.
Great video!
You are way too underrated dude. I’m tryna decide between them both because it looks like the ally has better performance, VRR, and speakers. For what i’ve seen from the Legion Go is that it has better battery life, a case, detachable controllers with one having a sort of mouse and also a trackpad, and a better screen with a kickstand. Since you have both, which would you consider better?
Thanks man! If you want a big screen and detachable controllers the Legion Go could be the way to go. But the Allys speakers, VRR, Joysticks, portability is a bit better. I prefer the Ally and I bought the Go hoping it’d replace the Ally, but it doesn’t.
Hi! I was wondering how is the legion go going for you? This is going to be the first true gaming computeri get deciding between the ally and legion but i mainly care about power and which one will run games better @@filt3rless
Can’t wait for next years handhelds. But For now I’m very happy with my ally 🥰
Yup, from what I have heard AMDs next gen apus are gonna be insane
Also love my Ally the new HD+ 900p mode is a game changer, just perfect not as heavy as 1080p and not as pixelated looking as 720p
@@untasty4215that's a bad news manufacturers will abandon their old product and milk money by releasing new device every year!
Good job mate ✌️😊
Huge work on these comparisons. Thanks!
Btw, there was new bios for legion go, which allows to set 6 gb ram. Were these comparisons with that new bios?
Hey, this was not on that bios as this took days to make. I saw a beta bios, but haven't seen an official one from Lenovo yet. I'll probably wait for the official one to release and install it. Then I can get a few tests in to see the improvements :)
Excellent detailed benchmarks. One question, on the go were these performed in 800p or 720p, just double checking. If it was 800p then those neck and neck tests technically the go would be slightly ahead. And it hasn’t been optimized yet so I’m really pulling for the Go
They are both at 720p. Realistically when in hand the Go would be running 800p so that would drop the FPS slightly. I'd say they'll be pretty close after Lenovo optimizes it when comparing 800p vs 720p.
Damn bro you need a few more thousand subscribers.
Thanks man! Definitely still growing and enjoying making content :)
No a few million more.
Could you do a battery test with at 10w, 12w, 15w, 20w, and 25w? I'd love to see a comparison between the Legion Go and ROG Ally when it comes to battery run times
Hey, yeah I am planning on doing a battery test between them.
I had both and ended up returning the Go. It's awesome but the variable refresh rate on the Ally really does smooth out gameplay. And I thought for sure that I wouldn't be able to notice a difference. I also preferred the portability of the Ally vs the heft of the Go but that's just me.
How about battery life is there even a difference or is go worse
@@philmienus2382 the battery life was a bit better on the go but not enough to make much of a difference.
I have the Ally and Steam Deck and just ordered the Go this morning. I think I made a bad decision after seeing this video.
@@hdpredator11143103 it has significantly faster ram so it stands to reason the performance will improve pretty significantly. But the portability and smoothness I get from a variable refresh rate screen was what made me stick with the Ally
@@hdpredator11143103give it 5 months. This device is barely a week old. The ally was a mess at launch as well
Really put the effort on here! Way to go man! Subscribe to him!
Please do a battery comparison man! That’s all I’m missing to make a decision on which one to get!
Been debating getting one but I would like to see performance be a little better and more consistent. A few more years of improvements these handhelds will be awesome performance wise
Wow surprising results
excellent job :)
It's pretty awesome to see how great the thermals seem to be for both devices. One of my main concerns was how hot these could get (bad memories of old gaming laptops).
I can relate to that 🤣. Even current laptops seem to want to push mid-high 90c on the CPU.
@@filt3rless Depends on your card. My g15 rtx3050ti has only 4gb. with Ryzen 7 6800H. Never goes above 70-80 clecious degrees with ram 32gb. It s a laptop bro and playing GTA or day z or dcs or anno1800 everything pretty maxed
Suggestion, how about a summary slide, show averages across all games tested and different resolutions. From the quick review of the video, they look very close in performance.
Thanks for the review. Why is the Ally running hotter than Go by like 3-6 degrees. What's the power draw? You should be able to get that with afterburner. Also; you forced the latest driver for the Go? Whereas the Ally got it thru Asus? Interesting comparison. I would have rolled back Ally driver to match the driver Lenovo pushed.
i can just see that it’s not about vram since both are pretty close but it’s actually the temperature the go holds better amazing
ye feels same , my go have realy low temps in high usage games 🎉 love it
The video is great, keep up the good work fam, but I have only one question. Is that basic Ally or Extreme model ?
Are you running your ally completely stock? Other videos I have seen have shown the go pulling ahead in some games when both are running stock with no additional optimizations which could be explained by the legions faster ram. Either way, really great video. I really want to like the Ally but the whole non response by Asus regarding the sd card issue rubbed me the wrong way. Either way though it seems like both devices are good and I am excited to see what the future of this space holds.
yes, Legion Go is still a better choice.
Here's a 👍 for your time and effort!!
This is awesome. Can’t wait for legion to get more optimized
TOMORROW!
Yep I heard. I have been thoroughly enjoying my legion go.
How is the stutter while playing first person shooters or any AAA games ? The display looks great just wanted to know if not having the VRR is a huge issue or not
@@alexortega3179 vrr wouldn't hide frame time stuttering anyway. It would just attempt to smooth out when you aren't quite at 60fps.
Where did you get the 23.11.1 driver for the legion go?
How u get 720 on the LLG? I thought it was supposed to be 800p because of the sidways screen orientation.
Great vid bruh. Can't wait for the software on the Legion Go to mature because clearly it's not optimized for the higher clocked RAM. Either way it's an impressive video. Thank you.
hi. is this the Z1 Extreme or entry level Ally?
Gratzz!!👏👏👏👏👏
Good benchmarks. Ordering my legion go tomorrow. See how it compares to my ayaneo 2. Im probably gonna use an external gpu. Only costs about £200 cos i have a 3080 in my pc. Housing sizes are a disappointment though. Not much smaller than my itx pc. Might diy it. Pull out its internals and re house it in a smaller case.
Does the performance change when hooked up to a monitor?
Awesome video would love to see Sons of the forest or Rainbow 6 on these devices.
Hey Filterless if I downloaded and installed the 7840u drivers how can I switch it back to the original Z1 drivers?
I’d love to see a video like this with more optimized game settings. Like idc about playing the game at high settings, so like medium to low settings FPS would be a nice thing to see
How long does the battery last of both of them at 12 15 watt
I normally play at turbo highest watts because i bought a case the hold power bank and charger so I’m always able to play at the most power and get decent time
Arg….so I pulled the trigger on the Go last night. Best Buy has them available again. I’m kind of covered with the extended holiday release window - gives Lenovo time to fine tune it and worse case scenario if they don’t I’ll just return. I’d really like to sell my SD and Ally and just have one handheld.
You could love the device. It's definitely going to come down to what you want in a handheld. After you get it, let me know what you think :)
For me it's the size of the screen, don't care about portability so thinking going for the Legion Go.
Will be using it at home plugged in all the time in bed. 😂
@@spike178 The Legion Go is definitely the way to go if screen size is important. The detachable controllers and kickstand will also make it easier to play in bed while just setting it up on the table or anywhere on the bed.
I wish you would put which game it is on the screen. Would help a lot.
great video mate. good to see the ally still leading the FPS race. hows the battery life still going on the ally?
drain faster
Hey man! It’s still about the same. How’s the desktop holding up?
Benchmarks are all over the place ma y other channels showing the GO ahead at 20w by quite a bit
@@Dx-so7jmmost of the other comparisons are showing benchmarks where the vram, resolution and drivers aren't the same this is the best comparison shown by far keep up the good work!
Great video Filterless. One of the most comprehensive performance comparison so far.
I just wish someone will do a comparison at native device resolutio with latest bios/Asus drivers vs go at 720p vs 800p and 1080p vs 1200p (equivalent 16:10 resolution). Cheers
I am planning on doing an 800p, 1200p and 1600p test in the future :). A more fair comparison would be the Legion Go at 800p and the Ally at 720p. Mainly because everyone who uses the Legion is going to do 16:10 like you said, so 800p+. And anyone who uses the ally will use 16:9 or at least 720p+. The main issue right now is no custom resolutions on the Legion. Since 900p is a nice mix, it'd be nice to have something between 800p and 1200p on the Legion.
@@filt3rless Yeah exactly. Most of these comparisons are useless for end user as they’re either going to use 720p/900p/1080p on the ally and 800p/1200p/1600p (mainly for indies) on legion go. So, I reckon 720p vs 800p and 1080p vs 1200p is more representative for the end user as legion go decided to go with 16:10 aspect ratio.
I look forward to your future coverage. Keep up the great work. Happy gaming :)
What was the operating system power mode set to in legion go? I own both devices and I get better performance on the legion go with the efficiency setting.
They were both set to Best Performance. I'll look into efficiency. My guess is it's something with CPU Boost (which is also enabled on both). CPU Boost is something that can net you decent stability and small gains in some games as well as much improved battery life. Efficiency helps put that under control.
Was this for OG Skyrim, or the newer versions, Special/Anniversary Edition?
It was Special Edition :)
What BIOS version are you running on the ally? Great video!
I'm on 331 and it's pretty good. But some people are getting coil whine. I'd say 323 was my favorite.
Could you please try both the evil within games? They're so unoptimized for PC's
you have installed the AMD drivers in both machines? how were you able to put 720p in the legion go, It does not allow me.
They're both running into the same external monitor for recording. Realistically everyone with the Go will use 800p which will give slightly less FPS than the 720p resolution shown here. I'm planning on doing an 800p, 1200p and 1600p comparison for the Go soon, so stay tuned :)
@@filt3rless i see. So when connected to an external monitor it takes the ones from it. Thanks!!!
Thanks for your awesome work!! This is the only source like this practical benchmark comparison. Here it looks like Legion Go left a bit back than Rog Ally ? But why? aren't the using the same Processors and GPU? moreover, Legion Go has a bit faster RAM. so Legion Go is supposed to be a bit faster. Can anyone explain why this so? Thanks
Asus has had a lot of time to optimize the device. And the 323 bios they released a few months ago really improved performance in the lower watt range. The Legion Go should be slightly faster because of the faster RAM. However, everyone will be using 800p on the Go and 720p on the Ally. Or 1200p on the Go vs 1080p on the Ally.
So the slightly increased resolution the Legion is pushing with it's 16:10 display should balance things out once Lenovo optimizes it, where they will be pretty close.
Is this the Z1 Extreme version? Don't see it posted anywhere.
Hey, yes this is the z1 extreme.
So their performance seems pretty comparable. If I had to choose one today, I'd go Ally only because I like its feature set over the Legion Go.
Plus of go is you can use moonlight if you have pc to stream 1440p to it if you like also you can remove controllers and it will be like a tablet - you could probably browse/read books on it
Moonlight is amazing. I use it all the time on multiple devices.
Good vid. Tough choice clearly ally has less issues but now with steam Oled available I’m torn apart. Sd works but ally and legion go outperforms quite a bit steam deck…
You need to redo this test with the gos new drivers and such
I like both but bought ally for price and for how its more portable it is
isnt 70 degrees too much to use in barehands for long time?
Both great handhelds! I personally just got the Legion Go..i love the detachables! Cant go wrong with either one
i think ally have better fan and that why ally would do more FPS maybe 1-10% more, but for me I would choose the Go cuz of the screen. what do you think ?
Heard there is option for 48w on legion?
Everyone that has the GO don't worry they just need more time to better optimize the handheld like the Ally did. Remember their were people trashing the the Ally and returning them when they just should have waited for the updates.
I love the rog videos making out it performs better 😂
Hey, how are you measuring 720p and 1080p for the Legion Go? Or are you measuring 800p and 1200p which is effectively pushing 80 and 120 pixels more per frame?
Hey this is hooked up to an external monitor and you bring up a great point. People are going to be using 800p on the Go and 720p on the Ally. So in that respect the Ally would come out a little bit more ahead than you’re seeing here. I’m planning to do benchmarks on the Go at 800p, 1200p and 1600p so stay tuned :)
How did you get 23.11.1 installed? I installed the drivers from asus and it was the one before that one
Hey, here is a video I have on how to install the latest drivers: ruclips.net/video/lT7NdZRMQe4/видео.html
Right off the bat the go stuttering 😂
I mean I really don’t know what people expect with almost identical specs you get almost identical performance.
If you had any kind of working brain cells in that cranium of yours, you'd know that identical specs do not always mean identical performance, and there are MANY factors and variables that contribute to performance more than just the chips being used.
How about, the cooling being used? Affecting performance via thermal throttling which could make all the difference in HANDHELD devices like these?
Differences in software and bios configurations that could lead to instability and crashing that wouldn't be reflected on benchmarks because you couldn't start the benchmarks to begin with?
There's also power consumption and power limits that are placed by the individual manufacturer that can differ between each of them and lead to different power ceilings, because one manufacturer could put a cap on how much power you can squeeze out of a chip in their system when overclocking or changing power limits, like how laptop manufacturers could have the same exact CPU in their systems but one tops out at a lower TDP than the other.
Should I continue or do you understand now?
@@20mat wow, why the anger?!
How did you manage for having a static 30 watts on the go ? Your custom profil works great ? I heard there is some bug
Hey, there is a lot of bugs with Custom where it doesn't work properly on the Legion. I'm using an app called Handheld Companion on both (just for testing to have it be even).
@@filt3rless i can use HC to have a proper 30 watts ? It will not conflict with the Lenovo space like it do on the ally with Armoury ?
@@sharlatandjaul3739 I think setting the device to 30 watts then using HC could work. There shouldn't be a conflict as long as the power profile stays the same.
the comparison was fine but i really dont understand people who cant wait for Go updates 😭 i mean ally isnt doing better at first , they get feedback , complaint and report thats how they can launch an update to improve it . its going to be the same, its newly launched . just give them time. i still cant decide to purchace go or ally but imo better to wait a couple month to see is there any updates and how the performance is after update.
I will use the Go a lot of time on a 24" Monitor. Will i have VRR there?
Hey, the only HUB that I know of that will allow freesync is this one: FREESYNC on External Monitor!! | ROG Ally
ruclips.net/video/fWf2ZPlGwos/видео.html. And the monitor your connecting to needs a display port with freesync built in.
Any New updated comparison bruh?
My Ally is maxing out at 67 degrees.. On turbo 30w...when playing assassins creed origins and all other games I've played on except efootball 24 pvp.. Which takes it to 70 degrees... So am gonna be sticking to it for now.. I had to do some tweaking tho.. But am good with my Ally
Hey awsome video!!
What is your opinion?
Over all which one is superior?
Thank you
I would like that also, but I think asus vrr is also a deciding factor as it increases smoothness and fps.
That temperature is something to keep an eye on the GO is staying cooler
I got some weird message when trying to play call of booty said my driver is old. What is the new driver I thought i had it lol
Thank you for doing this.
Asus ROG Ally is the way to go.
Really hope the Legion gets better.
Z1 or z1 extreme?
