I have both the Legion Go and the Ally and at the moment the Ally performs significantly better. Both have the same updated drivers. Cyberpunk benchmark gets 30FPS average at 1200p medium settings and the Ally at the same settings and performance settings gets 39FPS average at 1080p. Im sure the performance of the Go will improve over time but legion space has a long way to go and the button placement is infuriating to use. Start and select are on the bottom left side for some dumb reason.
The resolutiob is higher on the legion go.Just run it at 1080p and see if there is any difference. Also the legion go is running at 15 watts, is the ally running at 15 watts aswell?
I'm currently waiting on the next driver update, then will force the integer scaling so 800p will look good on this screen, this HI RES Screen is great but 1200 and 1600 is just too much for some games.
yeah the screen on the LGO is a blessing and a curse... indie games look stunning at high rez's but the AAA title can't run that way so you have to use 800p which doesn't look as good on a 8" screen (unlike the Steam Deck).
What if we adjust the max TDP or opt for a lower resolution, such as 800p? Some said that because the screen has double pixel density on a 1600p screen it will be less blurry.
The pixel density is ~344 ppi, which is in fact considerably higher than most laptop gaming displays, at this ppi count playing on 720p is ~half the native resolution, which would be equivalent to about 160 effective ppi, so you're essentially getting the same visual fidelity of a good gaming laptop display @1080p, most high end gaming laptops provide between 140-180ppi at best @ 1080p which the standard for this form factor. Provided you hold this thing at like arm length, if you hold it closer like a phone, you might notice some grain in the 720p and feel like 1600p would be better, but you'd be sacrificing fps considerably. Most games in fact are designed to run optimally at standard resolutions like 720p or 1080p. But overall, it's still quite good.
He must have it set at 20 watts. You can go higher to get better performance. This video doesn't show what settings he is using, so it's not very much useful.
@@Bag-Of-HammersHonestly thinking about returning it due to the lack of Performance but the screen is very sharp and detailed for everything else in game
Will a game stutter or not smooth when capped at 30 FPS? I feel dizzy when my PC limits a game to 30 FPS, but on console does not affect me. I'm curious if capping a handheld device at 30 FPS would have the same effect?
As someone who played with different monitors from 60-360hz i can say is 30fps is a nogo for me. If its not above steady 60 fps then its not a good experience. I had the aokzoe. Even at 40-55 fps it was stutterin very hard.
I'm confused at these performance numbers. I've seen in other videos, similar if not the same games running a bit smoother and higher fps. Seems the performance varies with the legion go I suppose. Though the temps looks insanely good compared to other handhelds!
The main problem I'm having with the GO is the screen size. It's too big! On the Ally, the smaller screens mean you can put a game in 720p and get great framerate and it still looks great, but the GO's screen is so big that if you drop the resolution, it looks like crap, but if you bump it up, it runs like crap.
actually the higher resolution means it looks better at 800p than 720p on the ally so once they add that it will look even better. Biggest pro is the screen
Yes 800p looks horrible right now. I don't know if it is the screen size or what. I run 800p on my Flow X13 (13.4" screen) and it doesn't look as bad, so it might be something else with the driver.
@Womens_Division it’s just an ROG Ally with detachable joysticks and higher resolution screen without VRR and LFRC and higher clocked ram. Lenovo had an opportunity to compete and possibly take the lead over Asus ROG Ally but fumbled with a screen that Z1 Extreme can’t really do that well. The battery isn’t much better than the Ally so no real advantage there. The Ally is a better choice
@@Patrick-tw7nr The legion go hasn’t crashed on me unlike the Ally I returned a while back. I’ll take a performance hit if it actually works, over The Ally crashing in windows, even after a full reinstall
@@ForsakenFenix knock on wood I haven’t had that happen to me at all since day one and I purchased my ROG Ally from BB a week after launch. I’m sure I would have returned mine if that happened but so far so good and running like a champ. I still think about one or two generations for best of both worlds of battery life and performance for these Windows or Steam OS handhelds but I still like what I’m getting so far. I won’t upgrade till Steam Deck 2 or Ally 3 if Asus makes more

😂 this guy thinks 1080 and 1200p are the same thing
@@reylxreyln7052 I don't, hence why I made sure to specify the differences
@@reylxreyln7052Who cares though?
for performance mode do you need to be charging for it to work? yes i see the video but just in case
Why this video not have 60fps option ???
Can You test something with RPCS3 emulator ? Something difficult to emulate like Twisted Metal and Killzone 2.
I'm currently waiting on the next driver update, then will force the integer scaling so 800p will look good on this screen, this HI RES Screen is great but 1200 and 1600 is just too much for some games.
What would interger scaling 800p look like compared to another resolution? Does it look like 1600p without good AA?
How will you “force integer scaling”??

I think Nintendo is the best in this regard. 720p is enough for handheld consoles. Both for battery performance and to get 60 fps in games.
Why wattage is so low ? Performance is dissapointing also
He must have it set at 20 watts. You can go higher to get better performance. This video doesn't show what settings he is using, so it's not very much useful.
@@Bag-Of-HammersI own a Legion Go the performance isn’t that great and the wattage on mine is set to 30

If possible could you test Returnal also.
What hardware monitoring software are you using? I updated my drivers and now fps counter does not register
MSI afterburner
Have you tested Sonic frontiers? It’s not working for me on Legion go
Can you make some relevant benchmarks ať 720/800p aswell please ?
Does anybody know what overlay that is? I want to know what wattage I'm using. Thanks all
I ordered it a bomb the only thing the battery doesn't last anything already with ally it doesn't last long think with this..
Could you test total war Warhammer 3 in another video please?

Do you update the drivers
Yeah. I did
@@HawkBoss the performance doesn't look promising can you do yuzu emulator test and rpcs 3
is there noticeable input lag at all?
Looks amazing, is the fan louder that the other handhelds?
louder than my deck
Witcher 3 and RDR2 please!
Can u test albion online in legion go?

He is running the games natively at 2k, buts thats actually impressive.
@@jakenaseri4425it’s actually at 1200p.
@@jakenaseri4425thought it was 8k tho
1200 is very bad for this gpu 900p-800p is good and you get high fps
Day 1 buy.
how does this compare to ps5?
You cant get 70 FPS Plus??
W for the Ally 😁
Temp really good i will buy it
I'll keep playing my steam deck until all these newer device gets fix properly.

720p on 1080p will never look as sharp as 800p on 1600p, no matter the screen size...
It is the reason I buy it, not for the small display is not for everyone
Yes 800p looks horrible right now. I don't know if it is the screen size or what. I run 800p on my Flow X13 (13.4" screen) and it doesn't look as bad, so it might be something else with the driver.
It definitely needs more horsepower under the hood to keep up with that screen size.
Can it run Uncharted 4 doe?
Sure it can 👍

red dead redemption 2 test sir
You must love that game 😂
@@HawkBoss Yes. I like this game so realistic
PC gamers suddenly ok with 30 FPS? xD
so much stuttering
He's running the vram too high. He needs to change the setting in the bios.
