There is ways you can create your own EGPU graphic card lot cheaper by using a different type of graphic card. It’s not an overkill to make sure the price should be less that should be a little bit cheaper than buying a PC or a laptop has different experience.
@@Sk8Salvyboy94 I have the GPU setup at my desk with a couple monitors and a nice powered USB dock, mainly because I replaced my entire PC with this thing. Definitely feels like the best of both worlds!
I might think about streaming a video on RUclips but to learn how because how I use AI or am I use both speaking in the camera and speaking without the camera? If it’s still recording I just use a AI just to help out the video to become a little bit better.
@@SpoofyChan I mean that will be something nice to try too lol unfortunately it all depends what type of egpu docking you’ll be using but the one I have it can only be use plugged directly to my legion go and nothing else.
What kind of GPU are you using? Should I possibly use an overkill graphic card? But if you only have the graphic card from your PC that should be fine because that’s all you got?
@@Russiangamerpro2021 I'm using an RTX 3070 OC in my Thunderbolt 3/4 eGPU dock. That's all I had lying around since I wasn't going to take the one from my desktop to use with my Lenovo Go. If I were to make a suggestion, I would say you can use anything above a 2070, since that's what my laptop has and it actually plays all the titles I have on Steam.
@@joamettorresortiz9271 it depends… for example if you’re using a high end gpu like a 4090 you’ll be loosing around 77% performance of that graphics card. Meaning that you don’t need that much power to pair with with the Lenovo go. For me I have the 4070 and the 3070 but just by looking how the 3070 performance I can guess I’m using about 45% of that graphics card. But aslong all my games are playable in a held hand console I’m okay with it. *you get more of your graphics card in a pc than a hand held console*
Oh I forgot about the call of duty part because I do have the Legion go and I have problems with call of duty even I told the RUclipsrs that call of duty is being an asshole with handheld so that’s why I got scammed by spending around $60 for no reason and doesn’t work
@@Russiangamerpro2021 it’s just funny to see so many RUclipsrs suggest so many types of settings for your integrated graphics card in your Lenovo go. Which the AMD Radeon Graphics doesn’t work that great on bigger tittles like call of duty and kinda struggles to keep if you aren’t adjusting settings in every game you try to play. With a long cable you should be able to at a nice comfortable position at home tho.
Why not just get a real rig since the egpu enclosure and how large the gpu will be will have you stagnant anyways. I mean I guess if you already own a handheld pc but for anyone getting into the market this sounds very much counterintuitive. Not to mention, regardless of how you put it the z1 is still just that, an apu and a very weak one compared to its counterparts for desktops which is the 5700x not only that the apu shines because its paired to screens that are no larger than 1920x1080 / 1440-1600P. For 700$ You are already 70 percent better off than the ally another 400 will easily put you in a resolution and framerate higher than it and a egpu paired with the ally for the same amount, don't forget about insane thermals when playing a demanding game. I just don't see the benefit as of now. I do see that apu's could potentially take over and if it does well computers will be what the ally, legion, and claw is today but as of now with the first gen batches I think not. If they keep up with these apu's we as the consumer and corporations as well are in for some big gains. A lot of small time companies that only deal with making computer components will quickly have to get on board such as evga and xfx. As of now I would either stick to either or, or you can do both but I would never make my ally x into a gaming desktop, it defeats the purpose. I have my primary gaming rig for the house and I have my rog when I am out and about or taking vacations. If I had neither and wanted to start pc gaming I would never start off with the rog I tell you that much, if I needed portability I would look towards laptop gaming before I did with a rog or a legion etc.
@@XxNewmilleniumxX After testing the Legion Go against other handheld devices on the market, I, as a consumer who purchased the Legion Go for its experience and convenience, find it to be a satisfying portable PC. While it may not be suitable for high-demand games that require a 2070 graphics card or higher, the Legion Go performs well on less demanding games and puts in a commendable effort to handle modern titles. Personally, I had spare GPU lying around and encountered difficulties running some of my favorite games. This led me to investigate game settings and explore the differences between desktop and handheld gaming, aside from thermal and performance specifications. Discovering that I could repurpose an old GPU as an external boost for my Legion Go, I decided to try it out to see if it was a worthwhile investment. To my delight, once I obtained the necessary components and assembled everything, the upgrade significantly improved the performance of my Legion Go. Using an eGPU with your Legion Go does not detract from the essence or purpose of a handheld gaming device. I see it from this perspective: while you can utilize the Legion Go for gaming on the go, having the option to charge it and enjoy gaming on the go as well is advantageous. If you have an eGPU positioned on a table near your bedside or in proximity to a comfortable seating area like a couch, where you can relax and play games while the eGPU enhances the graphics performance, it adds value. While this setup may reduce the portability aspect of gaming on the go, it allows you to unwind and enjoy a wide range of desktop games without experiencing game crashes due to the limitations of the internal graphics card in the Legion Go. Similarly, the Rog ally faces similar challenges, prompting many users to opt for an eGPU solution to enhance performance. Lastly the legion go its not for everyone but people that wants to emulate games like the old stile games and for other purposes too. I still choose my desktop for gaming, don’t take that wrong lol but it’s nice to actually be somewhere at the house and be able to play in the legion go beside at my office. Plus it’s not that hard to take at other locations, you’ll just look funny with a egpu sitting next to you while you playing in the go.
@@Sk8Salvyboy94 100% Agree. I have a asus rog, and of course if I had a gpu lying around It would take nothing to invest in a 150 Dollar egpu enclosure to have it up and running. I to enjoy gaming anywhere in the house but my whole comment is for people who want's to start their first rig up with an ally. I am on subreddits and all day in the sub for ally I see noobs buying and building a asus rog pc setup not knowing for the same price they could have a more competent rig or a better laptop if for portability but I can totally understand having a extra gpu lying around and buying a 150-300 dollar enclosure to get some gains stationary. That's why I pointed out if you already own a handheld pc it is sort of ideal, other than that its not a wise decision for first timers.
