You couldn't tell VRR on such a small screen unless you're letting your brain fool you. Legion go has the fastest ram of any handheld, a track pad and a portable wireless mouse with programmable WASD keys on the left joystick. They took everything good about other devices and fixed everyone's complaints about other devices. They nailed it.
@@user-fy9dv7lp9d this is where science meets biology, FPS and refresh rate are not the same, you could run a game at 120fps but if your monitor is only 60hz you won't see what's beyond 60fps because your panel cannot update the pixels that fast. Additionally 60 FPS isn't a consistent FPS, nor does it deliver those frames consistently. A 60hz panel will refresh its pixels every second consistently. So VRR replaces those inconsistent pixels from your GPU/apu by putting predictive pixels over top of them. It's guessing the next frame and reduces screen tearing and artifacting. So VRR is 100% necessary for competitive or serious gamers with large panels. However on smaller panels with smaller pixel density it's like putting heated leather seats in a car during an Arizona summer. Anything past 60FPS on these small screens is diminishing returns considering the human eye can't tell the difference between 60-120fps, there's a ton of debate on this with gamers versus actual eye doctors. The eye doctors will tell them it's not the fps you are seeing the difference in but the refresh rate of your panel. But for portable gaming a locked 40/40 or 60fps/60hz will deliver solid stable performance and longer battery life, on steam deck I can run Diablo 3 at 90fps, but if my screen only refreshed at 60hz all I'm doing is wasting battery life on frames I can't see because the monitor doesn't refresh that fast. Hope that helped.
@@user-fy9dv7lp9d from experience on the steam deck playing POE, if I lock to 60/60 I get 1.5 hours, if I lock to 40/40 I get 2 hours and 15 minutes. I've played POE over 500 hours so I lock to 40/40 because I don't need massive FPS to run maps. But 60/60 is visually a better experience. The legion go has a larger battery so at 60/60 I should get 2.5 hours. There's way more if I mess with TDP but as a new gamer just go with any manufacturers preset TDP.
@@SOPHISTICATED_VIBES that's great except let's take the ROG ally, you need to run your refresh rate to 120hz to enable VRR. Which results in 45 minutes of gaming. Steam deck doesn't have native screen VRR yet is the best selling handheld PC. No one with a handheld for portable gaming is using VRR because it's no longer portable, on the Ally you have to plug it in and turn on turbo mode. This is the problem with gamer bros who will try and convince people they can see 120 FPS when the human eye is capable of seeing that consistently. VRR is impractical in a handheld.
Currently uploading another video where he goes over the software a little more. Still pre-production and he stated that its still getting updated but looks cool.
@@vertextwin1177 yep I had a lot of problems with my ally specially the asus software and crashing my games.also not being able to use sd cards is just huge problem and ASUs want to charge you 60 bucks for the carry case 😂😂
if it helps you out at all, I use my Xreal Air glasses with the Viture One adapter to play on the glasses and charge on the ROG ally at the same time. Better than buying an entire additional handheld just for that feature
I wouldn't buy it just for that feature alone. Other considerations were mentioned as well, such as faster memory, bigger battery, etc. I did look at the Viture adapter and also another one which should be arriving today or tomorrow. One is for on the go and another for use with the ROG dock.
@@OVERKILLGAMING786i said this because aokzoe a1 pro can achieve this with similar form factor and weight. I know it lacks detachable controller. but it is possible
probably freesync is more important than 144hz and a bigger screen... what do you think? I like the bigger, more resolution screen... to manage windows OS settings.. read...
Yeah, freesync would be nice. Unfortunately, doesn't look like it has that feature either. Kinda feel like they dropped the ball by not including VRR or Freesync. Similar to how I felt Asus dropped the ball by not including a larger battery
But larger battery dont have direct impact on the gameplay and VRR have key impact on the gameplay... On Ally for first months Ive played older AAA games like GtaV or MadMax or TR series who manage well high FPS so is no problem BUT when I start play Starfiled on 30-35 fps that VRR is HUGE GAME CHANGER... This is REAL thing from and for REAL GAMERS not PR BS...@@OVERKILLGAMING786
Id take that shit back and upgrade there's no one happy with the ally after this i wouldn't wait to long to where you lose money you'll regret it in the end
Not true at all. Rog Ally supports VRR which helps with screen tearing and FPS Smoothness. It's also a lot more comfy since its not as bulky and heavy as the legion will be. things to take into consideration. Audio on the RoG Ally is also WAY better when hearing the audio tests on the legion go. @@bbdavinnci
@vergeofwill your audio will be based off your headphones you think I'll be playing any game at full blast and when you dont you'll play at what volume is comfortable my statement will stand when the sales come out kid...id take it back like i stated id be salty as well if i was you and had the rog and this dropped sheshh
@@bbdavinnci you are getting defensive not me lol stop projecting and take the things I say into consideration. No arguments here. What I'm saying is factual and just that.
@vergeofwill defensive...im just answering your question as best as i can defending my statement as im suppose to....just called having a convo if your mad or upset by the way i text on a app that's yourself esteem i don't agree with the small statements i just said take it back and you got into details lol
It syncs up the GPU frame rate with the panel refreshing rate, it makes a big difference, BUT Keep in mind that in ROG ALLY VRR kicks in after 40FPS, so…. You are not always seeing it.
@@danmicheluccithat's true for just VRR. The Ally uses freesync premium Wich uses VRR+LFC. What LFC does is multiply the refresh rate to something that is above 48. For 40 it's 80hz etc. So you still get VRR at lower frames. And you can see it plain as day!
Yes and no. Cloud saves will require an online connection. Gameplay will not require an online connection unless the game itself requires an online connection.
@@OVERKILLGAMING786 is it any easier to use than the rog ally. Is it hard to use like the rog? Or is it actually configured to work without hacking it like a 💣
@@OVERKILLGAMING786 I don’t wanna pay 800 for something that’s gonna take a gorilla on years to get it to work. The steam deck is set to play right out of the box. Is it remotely close to that?
I hate these bait preformance videos. They sit there move 3 feet go to stletting talk for 30 min walk an inch go to another setting lol like wtf. Clearly you arent trying to show off the true preformance
Don't worry. When I get it in my hands I will show you plenty of performance. Let me know what games you want to see. If I have them I will show them off.
For the long time i play pc handheld form gpd days you think vrr is needed? you fooling your self. just buy ps5 or pc lol sold my rog because its suck currently enjoying onexfly much more miles better than rog😂
Buy a PS5 or a PC? I already have two gaming PCs, a PS5 and three handhelds. I'm Overkill bro. I'm that guy. I'm HIM! VRR is not needed, but very nice to have.
I came across an article saying that the vram is set to 3GB in the bios which may not be enough for some games. Here is how to change it... legiongolife.com/legion-go-3gb-vram-heres-how-you-change-it/
@@ChristopherToro lmao, the ally is a missed market. It doesnt offer enough over a steamdeck to justify its price point for the average consumer. At least the go is offering a whole bunch of new features and new form factor for the price bracket the ally is in. You dont need to try the go to know its more woth the same mony youll spend on the ally. Ally just didnt hit its mark plain and simple.
Guys vrr doesnt make 40 fps feels like 60. 40 is 40 😂 In handheld gaming you can lock the fps either in 30 /40/60 and enjoy. Higher than that you might want to play in laptop instead because battery will be chugged
VRR syncs different frequencies to make fluctuating frame rates feel smoother. V sync isn’t needed. Meaning if you turn v sync off on your Legion Go, you’ll see a lot of screen tearing. It doesn’t make lower fps feel like higher fps that’s true. But it does render v sync useless and smooths out the fps a great deal with lower latency. It’s important mainly because of latency and screen tearing. Which to me are huge deals.
I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be able to play GTA online. It's a PC, so it should play just fine just like other online games such as COD and Fortnite
@@OVERKILLGAMING786 That's what I wanted to hear! I don't play story mode. And live in an RV by choice. This thing is an excellent replacement for my Xbox! Very few other games but watch movies and such.
Ram speed has no effect on performance unless it's below 3200. The go is gonna be a flop it's got a higher resolution screen that's useless really unless you're playing decades old games and there's no VRR freesync or anything which is a must have on a handheld. The battery is barely bigger and will now have to charge the controllers that have separate batteries and power the larger screen so battery life will be just as bad or worse than the ally. It's just a pointless device the company even admits the Ally has better speakers which is probably true but how you putting down your own product 😂 all it has going for it is the hall effect joysticks other than that you'd be better off getting a rog ally steam deck or just an $800 gaming laptop would be better
If we do decide to pick this up, we will do some tests against the Ally. The beauty of purchasing through Best Buy is that I would have two weeks to test and decide if I want to keep it or not. As far as whether or not faster ram will make a difference... the slower LPDDR5 6400 in a 128bit configuration gives out around 100GB/s (128bit / 8 byte * 6400 = 102.400GB/s). The faster LPDDR5X 7500 in the same 128bit width gives out 120GB/s. From the get go, the faster memory provides 20% more total bandwidth. But the problem here is how much bandwidth is left for the GPU considering how the CPU is also a client for the same memory. We kind of know that each 4-core complex in the PS5 takes around 20GB/s, with the 8 cores taking 40GB/s for themselves. In the case of the Ally it should take around the same, because we're looking at a similar CPU power. This means that the leftover bandwidth for the Ally's GPU is going to be 100GB/s - 40GB/s = 60GB/s. If it used LPDDR5X memory, it would have access to 120GB/s - 40GB/s = 80GB/s. So in reality, if Asus had used the faster LPDDR5X memory, the GPU would have had access to 33% more bandwidth. And the GPU in this SoC is mostly bandwidth-constrained. It's very possible that LPDDR5X implementations of the Z1 Extreme will run around 20-25% faster in GPU-limited scenarios. 25% faster is a lot. It's the difference between 32 and 40FPS, for example. Or between 40 and 50 FPS. Or between playing on medium and on high in many games.
You nailed it, This is why, even owning a Ror Ally I already ordered my Legion Go at BestBuy and will decide which one I will return. I expect keeping the LEgion Go, in HANDHELD world RAM speed matters a lot. As EXTREMELY WELL explained by you. Thx

Yup. Same here
Which AR glasses did you buy?
I have the XREAL Air AR Glasses. $339 on Amazon
Can you play games on game pass and steam on this offline?
Yes and no. Cloud saves will require an online connection. Gameplay will not require an online connection unless the game itself requires an online connection.
@@OVERKILLGAMING786 is it any easier to use than the rog ally. Is it hard to use like the rog? Or is it actually configured to work without hacking it like a 💣
@@OVERKILLGAMING786 I don’t wanna pay 800 for something that’s gonna take a gorilla on years to get it to work. The steam deck is set to play right out of the box. Is it remotely close to that?
I hate these bait preformance videos. They sit there move 3 feet go to stletting talk for 30 min walk an inch go to another setting lol like wtf. Clearly you arent trying to show off the true preformance
Don't worry. When I get it in my hands I will show you plenty of performance. Let me know what games you want to see. If I have them I will show them off.
What I want to know is can it make phone calls
Haha... we'll put it to the test. It's a PC so I'm pretty sure it can
I thought it was a 2560p screen
1600p
2560x1600
For the long time i play pc handheld form gpd days you think vrr is needed? you fooling your self. just buy ps5 or pc lol sold my rog because its suck currently enjoying onexfly much more miles better than rog😂
Buy a PS5 or a PC? I already have two gaming PCs, a PS5 and three handhelds. I'm Overkill bro. I'm that guy. I'm HIM! VRR is not needed, but very nice to have.
Im only getting 20fps on my go on cyberpunk
I came across an article saying that the vram is set to 3GB in the bios which may not be enough for some games. Here is how to change it... legiongolife.com/legion-go-3gb-vram-heres-how-you-change-it/
All on low
@@OVERKILLGAMING786im about to to do that. Thanks.
I hope you play a heavy game like PUBG
Sell the ally get a go
I don't sell. I only buy.. lool
Try it first 🐑
@@ChristopherToro lmao, the ally is a missed market. It doesnt offer enough over a steamdeck to justify its price point for the average consumer. At least the go is offering a whole bunch of new features and new form factor for the price bracket the ally is in. You dont need to try the go to know its more woth the same mony youll spend on the ally. Ally just didnt hit its mark plain and simple.
Guys vrr doesnt make 40 fps feels like 60. 40 is 40 😂 In handheld gaming you can lock the fps either in 30 /40/60 and enjoy. Higher than that you might want to play in laptop instead because battery will be chugged
Yes it can...
VRR syncs different frequencies to make fluctuating frame rates feel smoother. V sync isn’t needed. Meaning if you turn v sync off on your Legion Go, you’ll see a lot of screen tearing. It doesn’t make lower fps feel like higher fps that’s true. But it does render v sync useless and smooths out the fps a great deal with lower latency. It’s important mainly because of latency and screen tearing. Which to me are huge deals.
Looks like most people disagree with this statement
I really wanna like the Go more than the Asus but, it looks like ass.
I guess 🤣... looks fine to me
Did you really say cyberpunk is your favorite game 😂
Yup. I said it. Now what.. lol
Est ce que tu peux essayer fortnite ? Stp
Sure
Yes
Can it play GTA online?
I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be able to play GTA online. It's a PC, so it should play just fine just like other online games such as COD and Fortnite
@@OVERKILLGAMING786 That's what I wanted to hear!
I don't play story mode.
And live in an RV by choice.
This thing is an excellent replacement for my Xbox!
Very few other games but watch movies and such.
Btw I haven't used a windows pc or other device in at least 20 yrs.
That's why i was asking just android and Xbox
Just ordered mine yesterday the 1TB version, it’ll go well with my ROG Ally
Less than two weeks away. I can't wait!
Ram speed has no effect on performance unless it's below 3200. The go is gonna be a flop it's got a higher resolution screen that's useless really unless you're playing decades old games and there's no VRR freesync or anything which is a must have on a handheld. The battery is barely bigger and will now have to charge the controllers that have separate batteries and power the larger screen so battery life will be just as bad or worse than the ally. It's just a pointless device the company even admits the Ally has better speakers which is probably true but how you putting down your own product 😂 all it has going for it is the hall effect joysticks other than that you'd be better off getting a rog ally steam deck or just an $800 gaming laptop would be better
If we do decide to pick this up, we will do some tests against the Ally. The beauty of purchasing through Best Buy is that I would have two weeks to test and decide if I want to keep it or not.
As far as whether or not faster ram will make a difference... the slower LPDDR5 6400 in a 128bit configuration gives out around 100GB/s (128bit / 8 byte * 6400 = 102.400GB/s). The faster LPDDR5X 7500 in the same 128bit width gives out 120GB/s.
From the get go, the faster memory provides 20% more total bandwidth. But the problem here is how much bandwidth is left for the GPU considering how the CPU is also a client for the same memory. We kind of know that each 4-core complex in the PS5 takes around 20GB/s, with the 8 cores taking 40GB/s for themselves. In the case of the Ally it should take around the same, because we're looking at a similar CPU power. This means that the leftover bandwidth for the Ally's GPU is going to be 100GB/s - 40GB/s = 60GB/s. If it used LPDDR5X memory, it would have access to 120GB/s - 40GB/s = 80GB/s.
So in reality, if Asus had used the faster LPDDR5X memory, the GPU would have had access to 33% more bandwidth. And the GPU in this SoC is mostly bandwidth-constrained. It's very possible that LPDDR5X implementations of the Z1 Extreme will run around 20-25% faster in GPU-limited scenarios. 25% faster is a lot. It's the difference between 32 and 40FPS, for example. Or between 40 and 50 FPS. Or between playing on medium and on high in many games.
You nailed it, This is why, even owning a Ror Ally I already ordered my Legion Go at BestBuy and will decide which one I will return. I expect keeping the LEgion Go, in HANDHELD world RAM speed matters a lot. As EXTREMELY WELL explained by you. Thx
Naw….this ish is bad azz….lol lol
Thats your opinion, I believe many people will be just happy with this device and wouldn't call it a "flop"
You just sound like a salty Rog Ally owner lol
