    Your refresh rate is set to 60hz not 144hz. Also you need to make sure you are in “preformance mode” on the lego for best performance, i know shocking, not just in game graphics. You are currently in balanced mode. Plus you should edit the bios to run 6gb of vram instead of 3 or 4 stock. You cant get the performance because you need to have tinker with it. Or at least move out of balanced mode. Red light preformance mode, white balanced, blue quiet. And lastly you need to set up the clock in the same way you would on any pc.

      @ ok, but you are giving a “review” which you can’t accurately do if you dont know what you are doing. No where in the video did you state the reason you had performance issues because you dont know how to change the modes. Thats not “tinkering” lenovo tells you this in the set up. Tinkering would be changing the vram.

      @@TH3BU1LD3R no doubt. I hope this doesn’t convince a buyer that the lego isnt a beast. I moved from a day 1 steam deck to the lego and it was night and day difference in performance. Its amazing to have this massive screen and run aaa games like ghost of tsushima in medium graphics and still get good frames. Steam deck could barely run it in low settings.

    • @markr041

      Lenovo recommends auto for Vram. My experience is that gives the best performance as the computer picks the right combo depending on what is run.

    I moved from a ROG Ally to a LeGo and have no regrets. Love the bigger screen and removable controllers. I mostly use mine to play indie and AA games and they run fine at lower TDP settings. Integer scaling also means I can run them at 800p and they still look fine. My one gripe is the ergonomics - the bottom corners dig into my hands, but that was solved with some popular comfort grips from Etsy, which haven't come off my LeGo since I got them. Shout out to Steam BPM too, so much better than the stock launcher.

    I recently assembled an EGPU for my Legion Go. Having a handheld PC that youre able to dock and supercharge was my goal, and its pretty awesome IMO.
    Also, for handheld mode i highly recommend setting the resolution to 800p and enabling integer scaling via AMD Adrenaline. Tweaking Adrenaline settings (the GPU software) is a must to get the best performance out of the device.
    --> The secret weapon of most Legion Go users is the Lossless Scaling app that you can get on Steam. It has frame-gen and makes the fake frames look and feel extremely smooth.
    I do agree that if anyone is looking for a handheld gaming device and plan on playing untethered, the ROG Ally X or Steam Deck OLED is the way to go. I decided to go with the Legion Go because I wanted a handheld PC, not a handheld gaming device.

      @mattwithoutfear Im using the TH3P4G3 dock with a fully modular PSU (to minimize the wires/clutter) with an rtx4060. I figured that the Nvidia bells and whistles (DLSS 3 w/frame-gen) would make up for the 20-23% performance loss (since the EGPU uses Thunderbolt instead of Oculink), and it performs really well!
      Also, there's a docking case available for the TH3P4G3 EGPU to make it look a lot more presentable.

    I have a Steam Deck LCD at present and I'm happy with it, but I think that if I should choose an alternative to the deck maybe I would go for a Legion Go for the bigger screen, detachable controllers and stand included. I think none of the handheld at present are perfect, they all have limitations including the Steam Deck, I usually use remote play to overcome some specs limitations and play unsupported games. Steam Deck also has a great battery life with remote play.

    Hey TechSpaceCowboy, have you tried changing the amount of Vram that's used in the bios? I think they default it at 3gb and you can take it up to 6 (maybe 8?) I brought mine up and performance is noticeably better. That being said, that does make this even more of a tinkering device, which personally I'm all for but I know others aren't.

  • @DrFeeLzGooDx

    I have to say this is not the handheld for you if you want minimal and light aspects in setup and portability. Recently, It took me legit hours across several days so I could setup windows/LegionSpace/other software and find accessories that make this more useful. For doing the main thing of unplugged gaming I still needed comfort grips and a slim, yet big enough battery pack to fit the pocket, so yeah pretty much still plugged in lol. Long story short, I also ended up manually installing newest amd 780m drivers and a simple gaming profile of just afmf2 frame gen paired with anti lag, has helped with smooth gaming. Once setup its all manageable and I really dig the display enough to deal with usually being plugged in some sort of way. Manage your temps and keep fan below 5.4k rpm if you can and its quieter than even the AC in your home. btw my longest battery life browsing and watching videos was just barely over 5.5 hours unplugged. Limited to Lighter workloads and it will game long enough for light sessions or be used as a windows tablet for a medium length session.

    • @DrFeeLzGooDx
      @DrFeeLzGooDx 2 дня назад

      Also I did get it used and bundled with a onexgpu egpu for less than the ROG ally x new. I'm also gonna share my setup if anyone is interested in using this thing for laptopy things like docking on the go. I got foldable protoarc keyboard/mouse, one of the slimmest options. I got a pretty small jsaux dock which adds all the ports I could need and let me conveniently dock to any display so I always bring that. A Rii mini keyboard(bluetooth) with 3d printed piece I bought let me combine the controllers and altogether was great way to dock and still navigate windows or game from even a tv/couch. I can choose how much I wanna pack. If I gotta pack it all, then it takes up as much space a laptop would with a laptop bag in a sleeve and additional pouch, excluding the battery. yeah batteries always kinda gotta come with if you want more than an hour and a half "unplugged" gaming. If the plan is the "unplugged" option, I just pocket a battery and bring the legion go around in whatever fits(just detach controllers if too long). Baseus 65w battery is a good capacity and comfy in the pocket. also find a flat ribbon magnetic usb c cable, it rolls up compact to fit pocket easy too. maybe if I played indie games then I wouldnt find an issue with battery life but thats just me.
