Video

I'm just using mine as a server so It does great

I'm happy with 30fps

Nice video man

This is one of the best CPU tests on youtube , I liked the mixed test 🔥

Still got i7 7700k paired with RTX 1080ti Zotac after 6 years, can run everything on 1080p high/ultra with 70fps at least, and works great on 1440p as well.

I think its the fact that people promote stuff that IS more demanding The prime example: this roblox dev upgraded idk..... 2 years ago? 22-23? Idk its on their Twitter somewhere.... but they had this: it has to do with what they're doing If she was only playing , building or etc She wanted to play , build and and stream as do a lot of people nowadays its these streaming programs that require all these cores Giant games, video editing, stream encoding pre rendering etc all require more cores and more HP

If its more than 50 fps im totally buying it like why do u need more than 60 fps its just a waste of money in my opinion

Clicky buttons are poop

only 1700 subs?? Your production quality is so goood! I really hope you get more eyes on your work. Keep it up!

Great video man! Your production is way ahead of your sub/view counts

On 4k , I watched so many of compare video , fps must less than 10% different than 13700k!

whole timemy device software is broken , even now fps counter not working ! dont buy it guys

was the D-pad also mechanical?

Thank you for sharing❤

I bought one and it's also comfortable for apex🤔

I've got mine for 6 months and it runs very well and if i want solid 60fps with high settings in games like The Witcher III, GTA III, etc... I'm using Lossless Scaling with frame generation, and it is awesome. Its good to have competition like Rog Ally, SD, Aya Neo, GDP, MSI Claw, etc...because manufacturers will improve these devices with each generation and this is just a beginning.

I have one.. its literally the pc i dreamed to have in my hands absolutely the best hands down.. i cant wait to see what a legion 2 would look like

I'm still running a 7700k with a 3070 - Luckily I'm running an ultrawide monitor so where other systems might bottleneck, mine forces my GPU to take more of the brunt. I feel they're a good base level pairing, obv a newer CPU would be dope. But my GPU MOST of the time is the bottleneck which I'm happy with. Fkn sucks for cyberpunk tho lol

Running ghost of toshima with 1080p at high graphics camping around 40 to 50 fps. Most times is not the system it's the software. Just like a PC expect to always get your driver's and updates all the time. I even run battlefront 2 with 60 plus mods directx12 all at 1080p with highest graphics 50fps

As Second hand i7 7700K still holds really good.I use it with 3070 on 1440p and it’s really good.

Id love to get a Legion Go but there's too many new handhelds on the horizon that I can't get myself to pull the trigger.

lol its only about 6 months old or so...

I own one, and I finish dark soul 3 with 30-45 fps most of the item with no issue, device is amazing

Got my Legion go for 400 bucks used, love it and I paired with the onexgpu. It seems I'm using more of my legion go than my desktop. I felt the Ally fell short with all the internal issues and lack of support for other EGPUs on the market.

Got mine a couple months ago as I’m staying out of town, and will be for the foreseeable future and don’t have access to my desktop. Absolutely love it for my usage situation. Really impressive piece of hardware.

Just brought my legion go a few days ago got a killer deal on it brought it secondhand but it was still in the box and barely used so far i absolutely love it i definitely prefer it over the ally!!!

Good video! 😊But I think reviewers and people have totally misunderstood the vision behind the Lenovo Legion GO and its purpose. I just got a Legion GO about 1 week ago, and have used it quite a bit since then and here are my findings about all the "weaknesses" and what I think Lenovo intended. I was surprised to find that although I was skeptical at first, I basically like almost EVERYTHING about it and I feel like I "get it". Lenovo created a VERY well thought-out device (and sorry for the long post haha but I figured these points may give people a new / different perspective): 1. People say that the "joy con" style detachable joysticks are a kind of gimmick or not really useful... I totally disagree and these are a GAME CHANGER. People don't understand the purpose of this functionality. By being able to detach the controllers and put the device on a table for example using its amazing kickstand that's built into it (on the back), it transforms the Legion GO from the heaviest device to hold to the LIGHTEST. THAT'S the purpose. If you hold the Legion GO, at first you don't notice the weight much but after about 30 mins of play I gotta admit that your wrists start to hurt a bit. Putting it on a table and using the detachable controllers fixes this 100%. Also, the correct way to use the detachable controllers is to have them on your LAP, one controller per hand, propped on your legs - in a fully relaxed position. This is incredibly comfortable and intuitive. The so-called "FPS mode" where the right controller turns into a vertical mouse that can be used as a gun in FPS games, is also more than a gimmick - it's a useable mouse, for when you wanna use your Legion GO as a PC. 2. At first glance, the screen seems to be too high resolution for a small device like this - let's face it, 2560 x 1660P isn't a resolution that this device will be able to deliver at good framerates in most games. The Steam Deck chose 800P as its resolution and it still looks sharp and good for a small screen - agreed. HOWEVER... The purpose of the Legion GO's screen is NOT just for gaming... It's also supposed to be a kind of a media tablet! You're supposed to watch movies and surf the web and use it as a tiny PC! That's why the resolution is 1600P. If you watch a movie at that resolution then it's glorious. Also, people say the 144 Hz refresh rate is too high... again, in terms of gaming - that's true! But because this is also for watching movies (for ex. on Netflix) - guess what... The 24 Hz "cinematic" frame rate of most modern movies divides PERFECTLY into 144 Hz (6 x 24 Hz = 144 Hz)! So this should in theory make watching movies super smooth and a real pleasure with no "juddering" effect that we typically see on televisions for instance. That must be why Lenovo chose a 144 Hz refresh rate. A further point is the fact that thanks to the magic of upscaling, you can try getting to a "1600P" resolution in games anyway and I'm sure a decent number of them (especially simpler titles) will run decently with upscaling to that resolution - for instance using FSR 2.0 or XESS or Integer scaling. 1600P it just so happens, is also exactly 4 times the resolution of 800P! So that means you can perfectly upscale 800P to 1600P using Integer Scaling (each pixel is repeated 4 times for a "perfect" blown up image at 1600P). 3. In terms of frame rate, I have to disagree with what is said in this video. If major consoles like PS5 or Xbox Series X have many games that play at 30 FPS which is considered playable by the industry on those, then the Lenovo playing games at 30 FPS is totally a "playable" experience. The key is for the framerate to be CONSISTENT. If it's steady at 30 FPS non stop and the frametimes are consistent too (how perfectly spaced apart those FPS are) then it will feel good. In fact, on a small screen like the Lenovo Legion GO (or any other handheld) I've found a very pleasant surprise - the fact that a consistent 30 FPS actually looks GREAT! Especially if you enable motion blur whenever you can. I recommend to anyone who has trouble playing a game on a big TV at 30 FPS (cause I agree that 30 FPS can look like a juddery mess on a big TV - for example on my LG OLED TV) then TRY playing that same game at 30 FPS on a small screen device like the Legion GO and voila! It becomes way less noticeable and a very pleasant experience. Of course, 60 FPS or higher is always nice to have and I much prefer that if possible 👍 buuuut, on a handheld a locked framerate of 30 FPS (when in 60 Hz screen refresh mode) or locked 40 FPS (on devices that can divide that evenly into the device screen's refresh rate like on Steam Deck or on ROG Ally with its 120 HZ) is already great. 4. Here's the BAD side in my view about the Lenovo Legion GO... I agree with most reviewers that it's not supported as much as it should be and there is "jank" to be found. The GPU drivers for it release very slowly and are many months apart... The previous one was from December 2023 and the latest one just came out on May 27th 2024, which is crazy... When the GPU drivers release, all sorts of small functions can stop working - for example with this latest GPU driver from May 27th 2024, the FPS counter from the Legion's right-side menu stopped working. Every other metric still works but it just says "0" all the time for the FPS. I also agree that Legion Space is not nice looking and feels clunky so I avoid it usually unless I check if there are any new drivers, but that's it. You can navigate it with your controllers but strangely you can't navigate to the "Legion" logo button at the bottom to be able to shut it down or minimize it hahaha. So you're forced to touch the screen to push that button... Lastly, most games run GREAT on it - if you can accept some weirdness here and there. The weirdness I'm pretty sure is because of slow driver support by Lenovo. For example, when I tried Deep Rock Galactic in Steam on my Legion GO, I can't change it to a higher resolution than 800P... If I do set it to 1600P then it stretches the image side to side, making it look seriously flattened... But again, at 800P with high settings it looks and runs great! So with the Legion GO you have to be willing to accept these... shenanigans haha.

Been watching a few videos on the Legion go lately and I keep on hearing the same thing over and over - why is the standard on a handheld PC only a single USB socket? I'm sorry but that's a bit of a myth in my experience. I have a GPD Win 4 2023 here (two USB C sockets), a GPD WIn Max 2 (2 USB C, 3 USB A sockets), and an Aya Neo Geek (3 USB-C sockets). Thanks for the video, appreciate the content, but that point's been bugging me a bit

If your benchmark for “playable” in modern AAA titles is 60 FPS then you are only setting yourself up for disappointment with these PC handhelds. You are asking a lot from a mobile APU to perform as well as a dedicated CPU and GPU. I’d consider a lot of the games you showed to be playable with frame drops that stay above 30 FPS. In fact, I think you’d have a much better experience capping your framerate to 30 or 48 FPS on this device to avoid the sudden frame drops.

these things are overated unless you travel just get a emulation handheld and stream moonlight and get soooo much better performance

I paid 170€ for a moba ram and the 7700k currently overclocked, ive seen it reach 4.8ghz unless cpuz was going crazy and everything is still smooth, buying a 4060 ti in the near future Edit: I got it running at 5ghz now

Great video. I’ve been looking at getting a used ROG Ally (because they are getting CHEAP) to use for handheld gaming and to remote into my work computer when traveling as my college laptop has completely crapped out now. The screen on the Legion Go is far better but I don’t think the Z1 extreme is even close to powerful enough to really show it off in anything even lightly demanding (as you mentioned).

Pfft. A 4th gen i7 4770/90k is still putting in work. Maybe not on a few of the niche stuff like alan wake but that game kills most any hardware that isn't a few years old. For general gaming its still perfectly fine.

On aliexpress 1650v4 sells for 20-25$ and inexpensive X99 motherboard another 40-50$. For a cheap build that costs the same as a shitty socket 1700 Celeron's it’s not a bad result to be 20% behind the 12400.

its still a beast

I have a ps5 and always wanted better performance in gaming so I’m going to get 7800XT and just play games like cyberpunk on console

Tech Evovled : the problem isn't the price of this CPU. I would actually buy it again (I used to have but sold it due to quite a lot of stutters due Win 10 surrounding not being kind to only 4 physical cores). The problem with any Intel cpu-s is that the motherboards become completely scarse in 2 years time since their release. And if you do find a used motherboard, they have a very high probability of being degraded on the VRM-s side or memory banks side (if the previous owner did any kind of OC-ing, which most of them did) and they have PIN GRID ARRAW sockets which is stupid and can be damaged very very fast which is very hard to repair with realignment. While the CPU-s are LAND GRID ARRAW which is virtually impervious and since the CPU-s are harder to kill than MOBO-s, you see where I am going ? The motherboards would have to be available for at least as long as AMD-s AM4 are (since 2017 until 2024). For example AMD motherboards have indestructable socket AM4 and can outlive the CPU-s on the mechanical side. Plus, AM4 board released in 2017 and the B450, X470, B520, B550 and X570 can still be bought in 2024 new. That is now 7 years of NEW spare motherboards....and guess how long will they be available used !!!!

This was a very informative video from the perspective of a casual gamer. Short, straight to the point, and with good editing.

I don't have the issues with FSR, at least i can't see it. Maybe cause i have an amd gpu or more frames? (RX 7900 XTX, easily up to 300 frames in STarfield 1440p maxed settings)

I literally can't tell the difference in image quality in cyberpunk with frame generation turned on. I don't even feel the latency. Yet, I can play on 100+ fps with an rtx 4060 laptop with every setting turned to the max but with rt off. With rt on (not path tracing), I get about 70 fps with frame gen on. In both cases dlss is set to quality, and the game looks so good.

ghost of tsushima would be a good game to test this since it lets you mix fg with any upscaler

this gpu is sad

i use fsr 3 mod for alan wake 2 and the input latency is really impressive i lock the ingame fps to 30 so fsr 3 makes it 60 and its very playable

fsr works better on amd cards

FSR upscaling and FG are actually impressive since you don't need the latest and greatest GPU to make use of its tech and it dozen use any A.I. Insane is not it? Then only problem is the image quality. It just needs better visual improvements otherwise it going to be perfect. FSR is like that one sister who cares for her younger brother. Even older (not that old) GTX cards still can make use of it. 🙂

How is it actually possible not to notice the doubled latency or artifacts? Is this some neurological thing? I cant even play with pure dlss or fsr because shit it looks blurry to me and as soon as I pick up on the artifacts created by it I cant unseen them and I unconsciously pay attention to them its annoying.

Luckily, FSR Frame Generation can now be decoupled from FSR Upscaling. Hopefully more devs do this so people with non RTX-40 cards can enjoy the image quality benefits of DLSS 2, TSR, and XeSS while also enjoying the performance boost of FSR Frame Gen. Good on Ghosts of Tsushima for being the first game to showcase this.

I have that case that u showed, is that a budget case or something ;-;;

really useful video, thanks!

8gb video memory in 2024 should be at most 200 dollars . it has not future .
