FYI: I found a way to override the HDMI Out forcing the Legion Go to its max resolution. The Steam Deck dock I used for this video forced it to that high res, but I tried a J5 USB C to HDMI Adapter and it lets me HDMI Out at 800p now.
Yeah I have a J5 374 HDMI adapter You need to set your display to 1920 by 1040, that's the highest that adapter can do 60. I'm using a TV that shows me the hz Go to windows settings click display and with you TV connected at the top click on display 2 the go down set res to 1920 by 1040 then you can set hz to 60
Have to say, the clincher for me was the generous screen size. I had ordered the oled steamdeck, but then after doing research decided i wanted to give this go. Despite a lot of negative reviews I am really having a blast. My caveat is that I wanted a handheld to play more of the older ps3/ps4 era turn based jrpgs. I did try Nier Automata last night, runs great but dont think the bult in controllers work super well for such a precision based game. That would be my one gripe - the controller sticks just feel too loose. Can't see a way round it sadly.
@epictalgon I absolutely love it. The only negative thing about it is the battery doesn't last long. But I expected the battery to suck. It sucks on the ROG Ally too. Depending on how demanding the game is and what res/refresh rate you play at, the battery lasts a about 1-2 hours. Plus, if you play on a gaming laptop that's not plugged in, the battery doesn't last long at all either. So I play with it plugged in. I definitely recommend it tho.
@shiv.bhole.bhandari maybe. My S23 Ultra doesn't record the Legion Go's screen very well. There's too much of a glare on the screen. I could use OBS on the Legion Go or a capture card but it sounds like more effort than it's worth
we are still a few years away from having a really nice handheld gaming device that can handle max settings with 144 fps with most of those games. i cant wait.
I love that handhelds are making a major comeback. I’ll probably end up getting the steam deck 2 or next Lenovo legion whenever those come out. They seem awesome but I want to wait for the second models
@@dopeeyx7605 the Lenovo legion go looks awesome and it sounds like they are making a lot of updates to their OS I think they will be great at some point in the future
Got a fresh Legion Go today, a nitpick I found was when you make a new character in Elden Ring (possibly other Dark Souls also), you can't make a name nor its easy to load screen keyboard, hence never even loading new save
Its honestly pretty easy to pullup the keyboard once you get the hang of the device. Hit the button on the top right to pull up some settings in an overlay and then simply hit the keyboard option. You dont have to minimize the game or anything like that. I have elden ring aswell and had no issues.
@@alexcrowder1673I gotta stop you right there, chief. The Legion Go has built-in shortcuts for many functions that you would use fairly often. For the on-screen keyboard, it's the left Legion button + B. There is also a shortcut that opens the ctrl+alt+del menu, which is very useful for when your games crash if you set the task manager to always appear on top. If you want to customize them, you can do that as well in Legion Space. The default shortcuts can be checked out with the left Legion button + LB, or you can simply search "legion go shortcuts" on google.
While the Legion Go is definitely capable of playing the newest games, I found it way more enjoyable playing older titles. Why? Because A: they pretty much always run above 60fps, and most older titles can go way beyond that, and B: since older games are way easier to run, you can also play them on way lower TDP/power consuption, leading to way longer battery life. Sure, I can enjoy something like Fallout 4 or Horizon: Zero Dawn, but they require max power, lower graphical settings and slightly lower resolution in order for them to run smoothly enough, and I can only play them for maybe an hour and a half tops. I can play Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005) at 10W TDP on full res, and it always runs well, plus I have over DOUBLE the battery life that way. Besides that, smaller game sizes means you can fit way more of them. I personally find games way more enjoyable when I don't have to think about frame drops, and can play for a while without being connected to a wall. Now, THAT is the way that handhelds are meant to be used. I sincerely doubt that we'll get much more power and efficiency in general in the following decade, so I'd say that the Legion Go is going to stay pretty much near the top for a while, so I recommend gaming addicts like myself to buy one if you want to have a way to play PC games on the "Go" right now.
Can you play older games on the Legion Go ? Thats one reason i thinking about getting one. Games like Dragon Age Origins / 2 , Mass Effect , Singularity , GTA IV , FEAR , Warcraft 3 and so on.
I've got a Steam library filled with PS3/360 era games along with a lot of newer ones. Stuff like FFXIII/XIII-2, Deus Ex HR, Vanquish, Binary Domain, OG Dead Space trilogy, FNV, GTA IV. Prior era games too. I think the Legion Go or Ally would be best for these games along with stuff like RPCS3 and Xenia while I relegate playing the newer games to my Legion 5i with RTX 3060/i7 12700H. Still haven't picked out which handheld to get. Waiting for reviews on the new MSI handheld. But it's some exciting times for sure with all these handhelds
@@agssub3986depends on the game you’re running; Unplugged and running a triple AAA game on i’d say it’d be like 2 Hours, it can range based on your settings, the game in question and the requirements
@@agssub3986pretty good honestly could last more than 2 hour in balance mode at 800p…and if you set it to quiet mode doing minor stuff like watching yt it could last around 5-6 hour
For the footage shown it was connected to the TV, so 1600. But I typically run it in 800 in portable mode for better performance. That is what I used for the text readings on the bottom of the games in the showcase part of the video.
I feel like there's something seriously off if a game like Metro Exodus is getting 90 FPS and Fallout: NV is getting a framerate ranging from 45-60 FPS. I cap Fallout NV at 60 myself, but hardware like this should provide a 60 FPS locked framerate easily.
Yeah, he doesnt need to play fo4 in freaking medium like its a steamdeck lol. This thing is over 5 times as many teraflops as a steam deck (8.6 vs 1.6). This thing plays fo4 in ultra easily. I play fallout 4 at 2560x1600 with ultra textures because i set vram to 8gb and not 4.....
Comment faites vous pour faire tourner fallout 4 à 60fps en medium? Moi il tourne à 20 fps en low avec tout désactivé et l'allocation de ram a 6go dans le bios. Si vous pouvez me donner l'astuce ce serais cool. Bonne video en tout cas
Bro forgets that’s majority of people won’t be playing these games at the highest setting. These consoles are all about balancing settings to get decent performance and save battery.
The text readings on the bottom of the screen were with 800 in portable mode. Though the footage was recorded in 1600 since the system was forced to that max res when plugged into my Steam Deck’s dock for HDMI output.
Do note that some of these reading may be capable of going higher. I have seen people run Tomb Raider for example at 200 fps but I’ve never gotten it to higher than 60. Might be due to Vsync or some other option I haven’t thought of yet. But these are all the readings I’ve gotten consistently with 4Gs of VRAM and 144hz mode.
Hi there, by any chance can you test out Gundam Battle Operation 2 in steam as i really wanna know how much fps or average fps it can go with. As i wanna get Legion Go but until today, no youtuber or anyone did any review on that game. I only wanna but the legion go to play that game most of the time & occasionally do office stuff. Please and thanks in advanced! :)
For FO4 you can play using ultra textures at full resolution. 2560x1600p so long as you update drivers to 12/24/2023, set framerate to 144hz and change Vram in the bios to 8gb. I encourage you to try it yourself. It sh**s on the competition if you set it up right. Ps: Do not use the 4k texture pack on this device. Not only does it perform worse, it looks worse when scaled from 4k down to the 2,560x1600 screen than the stock ultra textures do. Instead use stock ultra textures and turn RSR on. Idk why RSR still works when the input is already the max resolution of the screen, but it does seem to make it look even better. Make sure your saves are in the same drive as your game is saved too, otherwise you may have slower loading screens.
@@KiraYamatoAngel Minimum GPU requirements for this is a 1050 TI. This device is somewhat more powerful than a 1050 TI. It has plenty of vram too, so you should be ok. Just set vram to at least 4gb, but preferably to 6gb for this game. If 5gb ever becomes an option, use that for this game. Also make sure to update your drivers as soon as you get the device. Updating drivers and setting vram in bios is very easy dont worry! Just watch a youtube video that will explain it to you. Itll take you like 5 minutes tops. Its pretty much just 1 or 2 steps. Its not complicated.
@@alexcrowder1673 the only problem i had with this game is thats its not actually optimized on PC. I mean i have a laptop that runs on a GTX1060 & the average fps i get is around 20 - 50. I played on my desktop that runs on RTX3060Ti & still the fps isnt stable. The only difference is that i can maintain higher fps around 50 - 120 max..i mean its weird even thought the minimum requirement states otherwise. Wish there is a video showing how it actually runs the game on the Legion Go with the latest updates. The best i found was a youtuber named Gundam Explained actually did a review running the game on an Asus Rog Ally which runs on 30 - 40fps tops. But that was just to test if it can runs on not & not even playing during an actual online match where the fps varies depending on your connection. :(
5 seconds in this guys tripping I haven't owned a computer in 30 years and im by no means a nerd... but after a few hours of messing with windows settings i got it to do 60hz on my TV..... with a J5 model 374 adapter
Its ridiculous how well it runs the Witcher 3 massive open world, and other games that are much smaller and mediocre looking are stugling like a hanged man. Just shows how incompetent so many developers and studios truly are!
