Good comparison. Both these devices are great with an egpu if they fit your use case. Ive got an Ally and the 4090 XG Mobile. The combo is a beast. It's wild that we can get this much performance out of such a small form factor and a pretty modest power draw.
Jeez quite the GPU. It’s crazy that you have high end desktop performance now… on a handheld. You should be sitting a bit below desktop 4080 now Ally go brrrr
@TechGuyBeau I don't have a desktop gaming rig, and I travel a lot for work, so it's been like a whole new way to experience gaming for me, coming from the console world. 😅 The CPU seems to get better performance since the igpu isn't being utilized. I do wanna experience custom profiles for both and find a sweet spot. I've left GPU scheduling on in Windows since it seems like the CPU becomes a bottleneck long before the XG Mobile does usually. Do you think that is sound reasoning? Or am I misunderstanding that setting?
@ReformedRabbit I'm curious as to why in your video the Ally + XG Mobile show way less CPU and GPU utilization on average. Is there some type of bottleneck or throttling affecting them? You're xg mobile was barely pushing 100 watts. I'm guessing you already returned it, but would have been worth it to try again with a custom profile.
With all the cons of the xg mobile still go with xg mobile because higher bandwidth. It's worth it. I keep telling people with rog ally owners this. U getting ur money worth with rog ally xg mobile. Good review sir
You should test the new USB4 bandwidth GPU adapter ADT-UT3G on the legion go. It provides 64gps bandwidth which puts it closer to the XG and eliminates the lows completely
Thunderbolt 4 uses the same 40gps connection, it’s not the egpu dock it’s the thunderbolt standard that’s why asus advertises that xg mobile using a direct 4x gen port. No matter what the ex model you own you have the 64gps connection made by pci
Thank you for the great video. Explain a lot and saw what 4k can give u. But if I'm going to do this I would rather put it in 1080 because I rather have more fps then resolution. But everyone is different and that's okay 😊
Nices test but keep in mind that the rtx 3070 mobile is actually more powerfull than the 3060 desktop due to having more cuda cores ( around 14% more power) so the difference that comes with the bandwith is less than it looks like
odd question. i have a dock that outputs displayport. should i connect my dock now to the second usb4 port or should i plug this in the back of the egpu now? wither way i wouldnt want to bypass my dock since it has a hub built-in with all my peripherals and speakers
People say ohh yeah just get a desktop but they don’t understand how useful this is especially for my situation where I travel between my partners place and my own (not going to bring my entire pc setup to their place when I stay regularly)
Yeah, but you're comparing a 30-60 versus a 370. Of course the 37 is going to run better. You should have used the exact same GPU on both running it to see the difference between the PCI versus the USB. 4. That USB 4 is thunder Baltimore not mistaken or one of them is I think I'm not 100% sure, but the true test is now with the integer scaling that was finally unlocked on the legion goal are added. I've been playing a game with an integer scaling and a lot of games are running like 10 to 15 frames per second above. What you would get with RSR or even FSR? Not sure about FSR3 I don't. I heard that they're working on making a compatible AMD that would be amazing if if AMD manages to get FSR 3.0 on the legion go and the Rog Ally those devices are going to be coming with much more power
There’s no such thing as the same GPU. One is a desktop card, and one is a laptop card. It is quite literally not possible to get the same GPU in these two devices
Yeah it was running for a while and many games tested. On iGPU what is happening is it’s overheating. The ally is obsessed with boosting beyond 30 watts. Adds short burst perf but kills lows. What I recommend doing it setting a custom mode and locking everything to 30 watts. It will lower temps, bring up lows. You can see a bit of the lows issue here even where the legion go cooling prevents cpu throttling. I’m a big advocate for stable fps and good lows over higher max. So custom profiles can be really nice
I can't wait until mods for the rog ally start showing up. Can't believe Asus locked it to their XG mobile solution. there are people working on a m.2 dock to allow egpu's, it'll fit nicely inside the device, still allowing ssd upgrade too.
@TechGuyBeau I really enjoy your Channel keep up the great work and if you don't mind me asking a question what would you prefer to use with the legion go AMD gpus or gigabyte I was thinking of the onex gpu but I don't think it well be able to keep up for that long with the newer games coming out or future games and what would you recommend
I'm grabbing the razor X enclosure egpu and I was thinking of the 4070 TI super GPU what graphic card would you prefer in the razor X for the legion go and I was wondering what your thoughts of if you ever heard of the OneX GPU
nice comparison but far from fair. The ASUS eGPU costs insane amounts of money [comparatevly] Its 3070, so its faster than 3060 It has FULL PCIe x8 bandwidth The 3060 uses Thunderbolt so the actual bandwidth is between x2 to x3, lanes depends on overheard and utilization [its never full x4]
