I have an idea for a movie: 1: smt on vs off - on desktop cpu when off smt =more fps in some games 2. Disable 4 cores cpu(and smt on) and check is more fps in games( because GPU have more power from available 30W?). Because as I understand it, the console has 30W Power and less power for the CPU means more for the GPU?? some games dont need 16 cores cpu .. in my opinion 6 cores is enough for legion go
Since games mostly run at lower settings on new AAA Games and lower resolution, you never need to use 8.GB VRAM or maybe even 6.GB VRAM. I set my Lenovo at 4.GB and it worked perfect in all games i tried so far. I would will stick with 4.GB. Most games i play don't need more than probably 2.GB anyway.
@@Pilociks Yep. As for RAM usage. Many said for years you need 32.GB RAM which is only a myth as they didn't even bother to check. In reality very few games uses over 10.GB RAM on Gaming PC's. When it comes to video editing 32.GB is barely enough because video is uncompressed in RAM. ;)
Didn’t watch the whole thing but if you don’t pick games with built in benchmarks later on then this video means nothing. You have to have something that is like for like. Gameplay means there are too many random variables that can affect results.
Can anyone tell me why my legion go screen stays on after being connected with cabel to the tv , I thought it turns off or do I have to change some settings 🤔 can't be right both screens are running
In Windows go to display settings and select instead of "extend displays" or "duplicate" to "show only" ur TV , you can press identify to know their numeral order and choose ur TV
Depending on graphics settings and resolution, there's no one size fits all Better to stick with 4G for many old titles to keep more RAM, if you play mainly new titles, 6G is pretty much enough even at high settings I don't justify using 8G as performance could go down in games that are RAM demanding rather than VRAM and even at best case scenario it would be quite the same as if you were using 6G for example That's what I saw If they ever include 5G I think It will be my daily driver choice Note that in RDR2 you saw performance is best at 3G, the more I increased VRAM the worse the results became, it's a specific case you can understand VRAM usage by using tools like RivaTuner
It does matter but allocating too much dedicated VRAM could hurt performance, it depends on resolution and graphics settings, ideally if you are going to use 800p with Integer scaling, I found 4G to be good, when they add Auto option I'll try it as well Also 5G

The options you already used gives a good idea of how much VRAM people should use.
I think 3 and 4.GB seem to work fine overall.
Everywhere I’ve read said set it to 6g but for most cases I’ve found 4g to be optimal. Glad someone else has come to the same conclusion
Glad to help !
If they ever release Auto and 5G option I'm going to try it as well,
I have my Ally always on 5G for daily use
Excellent comparison! These kinda videos I like, because they are concrete.
25WW beta bios has lower boost clocks, so these results will be a bit lower overall.
Big thumbs up for properly displaying your data!
Best optimization and handheld gaming channel
thank you very much!you best!

Nice ideas, thanks for the cool suggestions, I'll make sure to give them a try !!! 🫶

Can you say what games you played on that 4 gb?
if you play older games- true. on new games 4,6 gb vram is needed.
@@Pilociks I used 6.GB VRAM permanently last 4+ months as it's the sweet spot. 10.GB RAM have been enough for Cyberpunk, Robocop Rogue City etc.
@@V3ntilator i think the same, textures to low or medium and 10 gb ram is ok.:)
@@Pilociks Yep. As for RAM usage. Many said for years you need 32.GB RAM which is only a myth as they didn't even bother to check. In reality very few games uses over 10.GB RAM on Gaming PC's.

Great video man I appreciate it.
name of the soundtrack of Assassin's Creed Mirage part?
I got it from Envato Elements

awesome, thanks! @@TECHOSAUR
I have thé légion go and trust me 6g is thé healthier and thé best option
Best set 6gb
Didn’t watch the whole thing but if you don’t pick games with built in benchmarks later on then this video means nothing. You have to have something that is like for like. Gameplay means there are too many random variables that can affect results.
Yes, true. I picked ones with built-in benchmark
Is there a variation on temps depending on the vram?
Not really, because if memory isn't allocated to gpu it's still going to be shared between cpu and gpu
Hi, is there any solution to use umaf on the Legion Go? Your work is much appreciated.
For what do you need it ?
So I may help
You can use it just like with the ROG ALLY

@@TECHOSAUR top notch mate 👍
This device should automatically pick best settings for your game you are playing
if they get us an "AUTO VRAM" option it should solve most of those problems, it's already WIP
I can tell you in god of war my textures are a mess on anything below 6gb vram. Hogwarts legacy would have been great to know.
Yesss I'll test more 👍
It was an initial trial, when the official BIOS version comes out, I'll pack it with other games including Hogwarts
I play hogwarts on 3gb, and use lossless scaling it's lovely and smooth but I'm going to try 4gb ram tomorrow
For rpcs3 3g 4g or 8g ?
I think 3-4G
8G is an overkill!
Also 6G
Basically no real difference on all
So what should I set it too?
Depending on graphics settings and resolution, there's no one size fits all
Better to stick with 4G for many old titles to keep more RAM, if you play mainly new titles, 6G is pretty much enough even at high settings
I don't justify using 8G as performance could go down in games that are RAM demanding rather than VRAM and even at best case scenario it would be quite the same as if you were using 6G for example
That's what I saw
If they ever include 5G I think It will be my daily driver choice
Note that in RDR2 you saw performance is best at 3G, the more I increased VRAM the worse the results became, it's a specific case
you can understand VRAM usage by using tools like RivaTuner
@@TECHOSAUR Need the 5G Balanced overall.
@@TECHOSAUR Yeah. RAM can be a problem if you set 8.GB VRAM. I'm sticking with 4.GB for now.
So basically vram doesn't matter
It does matter but allocating too much dedicated VRAM could hurt performance, it depends on resolution and graphics settings, ideally if you are going to use 800p with Integer scaling, I found 4G to be good, when they add Auto option I'll try it as well

ciao amico grande lavoro bravo, vorrei chiederti un favore, fai un test con giochi vr e un oculus quest 2 collegato, grazie cugino
Grazie amico, cercherò di provarlo con quest 2, al momento non ce lo

War zone 2 ?
Looking at the frame rate I’m just gonna leave mine at regular
