Ultimate Performance Test! | Legion Go vs ROG Ally

What watts work best on each device? In this video we're testing the performance of the Legion Go vs the Rog Ally in 14 games at 12, 15, 20 & 30 watts as well as 720p and 1080p resolution. The Legion Go seems better when it comes to higher watts and the Ally seems better at lower watts as of the making of this video.

Hey Filt3rless do you think you could do a video on optimizing your Legion Go? Things like best drivers, and best graphic settings?

[@Xt660xmike]

You said asus rog ally best for lenovo legio go😂

[@filt3rless]

@@matthewgould9391 Hey, I found Performance for the "Thermal Mode" and Efficiency for the "OS Power Mode" works well can gives you 20 watts. Then if it's a less demanding game, 1200p looks a lot better than 800p. I found 800p is looking a bit blurry on my device in a lot of games. The latest AMD Driver are working well for me, and it's what I run on the Ally as well. I have a tutorial here if you're interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooWaf5eQh7KEm5Y.

I remember when the Ally launched and the drivers and firmware were about as bad as the Legion Go's are now. Asus made massive improvements over time (especially in the 15w mode) and hopefully Lenovo will do the same.

[@Tendonz_]

I'm pretty positive Lenovo will do the same, their Legion line-up is pretty established at this point so it's only a matter of time.

This is fantastic work, sir. Thank you very much for putting in this time. It is very helpful. I have owned an Ally since August, I don't have more $ to burn and spend on the Go, but damn, it's very cool. I am still very please with the performance of the Ally.

[@rogert250]

Thanks man. This is incredible how accurate and nice comparison you created. You are the most reliable source for these handhelds in my opinion!

[@filt3rless]

Thanks a bunch man!

[@ridp604]

The Legion Go, like the Ally when it came out at 15 watts, sets the GPU frequencies lower and therefore performance is poorer. You would have to compare cpu and gpu frequencies and utilisation for the same watts. I appreciate the work behind this video.

[@Thunderhawk8472]

One of the best comparisons I’ve seen so far and more in line with what I expected in the up to 20w range. The Go has to use more power for it’s display and the faster ram so it’s short for the APU

[@endertev]

What a crazy awesome video, some massive work behind it!

[@MrBillRizer]

That was a huge effort put into that video, thank you. Most definitely the Go for me, apart from the bigger screen, to compete with the Ally after about two weeks after launch is great. Plus, the SD card breaking issue and my bad experience with an Asus laptop I bought 2 months ago helps to make up my mind.

[@ominousview]

Thanks for the review. Why is the Ally running hotter than Go by like 3-6 degrees. What's the power draw? You should be able to get that with afterburner. Also; you forced the latest driver for the Go? Whereas the Ally got it thru Asus? Interesting comparison. I would have rolled back Ally driver to match the driver Lenovo pushed.

[@TRX25EX]

This video is better than every review when it comes to performance.... Showing side by side footage with the stats exactly what customers need not someone opinion when he could easily display the facts to you..... These kind of videos I decide which CPU or GPU to pick

[@brianjansen-lord3777]

Where did you get the 23.11.1 driver for the legion go?

[@cyclone427np]

Excellent detailed benchmarks. One question, on the go were these performed in 800p or 720p, just double checking. If it was 800p then those neck and neck tests technically the go would be slightly ahead. And it hasn’t been optimized yet so I’m really pulling for the Go

[@filt3rless]

They are both at 720p. Realistically when in hand the Go would be running 800p so that would drop the FPS slightly. I'd say they'll be pretty close after Lenovo optimizes it when comparing 800p vs 720p.

[@filt3rless]

Hey, yeah I am planning on doing a battery test between them.

[@elqd91]

hi. is this the Z1 Extreme or entry level Ally?

[@ATTACKM4N]

Are you running your ally completely stock? Other videos I have seen have shown the go pulling ahead in some games when both are running stock with no additional optimizations which could be explained by the legions faster ram. Either way, really great video. I really want to like the Ally but the whole non response by Asus regarding the sd card issue rubbed me the wrong way. Either way though it seems like both devices are good and I am excited to see what the future of this space holds.

[@user-tl7df2tn9l]

yes, Legion Go is still a better choice.

[@arjun_roy1]

Hey, how are you measuring 720p and 1080p for the Legion Go? Or are you measuring 800p and 1200p which is effectively pushing 80 and 120 pixels more per frame?

[@filt3rless]

Hey this is hooked up to an external monitor and you bring up a great point. People are going to be using 800p on the Go and 720p on the Ally. So in that respect the Ally would come out a little bit more ahead than you’re seeing here. I’m planning to do benchmarks on the Go at 800p, 1200p and 1600p so stay tuned :)

[@julianelison8508]

don't forget that the Ally alread had many months of software-optimization, while the Legion Go was just born. You should compare it to the 1.0 Software version of the Ally to get a fair comparison.

[@DownUnder43]

Wtf 😂. How on earth people will test the device with original bios when is pretty damn risky to downgrade bios. What have you been smoking 🤦. Lenovo should have released the device at this price tags better optimized. People who buy will just have to endure months of shit performance for the price tag unless Lenovo drops the price.

[@dantendo7232]

You are way too underrated dude. I’m tryna decide between them both because it looks like the ally has better performance, VRR, and speakers. For what i’ve seen from the Legion Go is that it has better battery life, a case, detachable controllers with one having a sort of mouse and also a trackpad, and a better screen with a kickstand. Since you have both, which would you consider better?

[@filt3rless]

Thanks man! If you want a big screen and detachable controllers the Legion Go could be the way to go. But the Allys speakers, VRR, Joysticks, portability is a bit better. I prefer the Ally and I bought the Go hoping it’d replace the Ally, but it doesn’t.

[@xxhell_houndxxgaming6073]

Hi! I was wonder​ing how is the legion go going for you? This is going to be the first true gaming computeri get deciding between the ally and legion but i mainly care about power and which one will run games better @@filt3rless

[@sebastiankold5403]

What was the operating system power mode set to in legion go? I own both devices and I get better performance on the legion go with the efficiency setting.

[@filt3rless]

They were both set to Best Performance. I'll look into efficiency. My guess is it's something with CPU Boost (which is also enabled on both). CPU Boost is something that can net you decent stability and small gains in some games as well as much improved battery life. Efficiency helps put that under control.

[@tclark5481]

Suggestion, how about a summary slide, show averages across all games tested and different resolutions. From the quick review of the video, they look very close in performance.

you have installed the AMD drivers in both machines? how were you able to put 720p in the legion go, It does not allow me.

[@filt3rless]

They're both running into the same external monitor for recording. Realistically everyone with the Go will use 800p which will give slightly less FPS than the 720p resolution shown here. I'm planning on doing an 800p, 1200p and 1600p comparison for the Go soon, so stay tuned :)

Thanks for your awesome work!! This is the only source like this practical benchmark comparison. Here it looks like Legion Go left a bit back than Rog Ally ? But why? aren't the using the same Processors and GPU? moreover, Legion Go has a bit faster RAM. so Legion Go is supposed to be a bit faster. Can anyone explain why this so? Thanks

[@filt3rless]

Asus has had a lot of time to optimize the device. And the 323 bios they released a few months ago really improved performance in the lower watt range. The Legion Go should be slightly faster because of the faster RAM. However, everyone will be using 800p on the Go and 720p on the Ally. Or 1200p on the Go vs 1080p on the Ally. So the slightly increased resolution the Legion is pushing with it's 16:10 display should balance things out once Lenovo optimizes it, where they will be pretty close.

[@MrAcidburn5000]

Hey awsome video!! What is your opinion? Over all which one is superior? Thank you

[@nishantsharma7205]

I would like that also, but I think asus vrr is also a deciding factor as it increases smoothness and fps.

[@latem1400]

[@filt3rless]

Hey, the only HUB that I know of that will allow freesync is this one: FREESYNC on External Monitor!! | ROG Ally kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIjJY42GoayqpdU. And the monitor your connecting to needs a display port with freesync built in.

[@raymakbutwithmoustache6413]

I really like the bigger screen on the Go but i like the vrr too. I wanna play at highest possible resolution without lag. For me, i won't be playing without plugging in. I'd mostly be playing for hours on one sit with plugged in. Which handheld would suit better for me?

[@filt3rless]

That's a tough one! If you have any way of getting your hands on both before buying (some places have them on display) then I'd do that. If you're not interested in the detachable controllers or kickstand then the Ally has much better speakers and VRR makes it look smoother. Keep in mind there is SD Card issues on the Ally so if you're planning to use an SD Card the Legion Go could be the way to go. Also I might have a faulty unit on my Legion Go. I have a video on the channel about it and both USB-C ports kick my SSD's when directly plugged in so I can't use them. I have to run it through a powered HUB to be able to use the external hard drives.

[@spike178]

Why is the Legion Go speakers so bad first thing I noticed on KZbin reviews. Could setup some Bluetooth/ USB external speakers I suppose. Not checked what outputs the Legion Go has yet.

How are you running 720p or 1080p on the legion? You only have the option of 1200p or 800p on the legion go because of the resolution scale. If you're running at 800p or 1200p on the legion and the asus at 720p or 1080p it makes sense performance would be a little lower on the legion because you are pushing more pixels on the legion.

[@filt3rless]

Both are 720p and 1080p. In real world playing, everyone will be using 800p vs 720p on the Ally and 1200p vs 1080p on the Ally. So they'll be pretty close after Lenovo optimizes it for lower watts.

Hey since you got an eye for detail, would you be able to do a video on FPS (first person shooter) gamer performance (not gaming performance) using Go vs Ally's joysticks + gyro ? Like which one is better for getting those headshots and kills? No one is looking into this important comparison. Doom 2016 arcade mode is a great mode to compare this as it gives you a score at the end based on you good you were in the level.

[@filt3rless]

Right now the joysticks on the Legion Go are pretty bad IMO. It feels like way more of a deadzone than the Ally has and then has a really big ramp up at around 60-70% making them really inaccurate. There should be an update at some point from what I've seen, but I can't recommend them if you're used to an Xbox Controller as it's way off what an Xbox Controller feels like. The Ally is also slightly off the Xbox Controller feel, but nowhere near the Legion Go. Here is a video if you want a demonstration of what I'm talking about: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b53YZ6J3jbuEnrM. It's one of the first things I noticed after buying it.

So looks like from a performance perspective its seems the Ally is mostly better. What I dont know is how much can software optimization bring it up to par at least ?

[@filt3rless]

Lenovo should optimize it more through new BIOS versions. I'd say they'll be pretty close once Lenovo does since the Go is using 800p vs 720p on the Ally. So the faster ram on the Legion Go, but increased resolution should get them pretty close :)

[@usbmannam]

@@filt3rless thanks for the response. Do you know if integer scaling is going to be supported on this? I have heard it is supposed to make a big difference when it comes to performance.

[@filt3rless]

@@usbmannam I don't think so but I could be wrong. I just don't see AMD adding it anytime soon. Integer scaling would help a lot on the Legion Go, but not so much on the Ally as 540p wouldn't look very good even with integer scaling. What I'd recommend on the Ally is to use 900p (which is now built into the Asus display driver). It's the perfect resolution IMO. You can even use RSR (Radeon Super Resolution) to upscale 900p to 1080p and it looks awesome while getting 20% or so additional performance.

@@spike178 The Legion Go is definitely the way to go if screen size is important. The detachable controllers and kickstand will also make it easier to play in bed while just setting it up on the table or anywhere on the bed.

Great video Filterless. One of the most comprehensive performance comparison so far. I just wish someone will do a comparison at native device resolutio with latest bios/Asus drivers vs go at 720p vs 800p and 1080p vs 1200p (equivalent 16:10 resolution). Cheers

[@filt3rless]

I am planning on doing an 800p, 1200p and 1600p test in the future :). A more fair comparison would be the Legion Go at 800p and the Ally at 720p. Mainly because everyone who uses the Legion is going to do 16:10 like you said, so 800p+. And anyone who uses the ally will use 16:9 or at least 720p+. The main issue right now is no custom resolutions on the Legion. Since 900p is a nice mix, it'd be nice to have something between 800p and 1200p on the Legion.

[@zacthegamer6145]

@@filt3rless Yeah exactly. Most of these comparisons are useless for end user as they’re either going to use 720p/900p/1080p on the ally and 800p/1200p/1600p (mainly for indies) on legion go. So, I reckon 720p vs 800p and 1080p vs 1200p is more representative for the end user as legion go decided to go with 16:10 aspect ratio. I look forward to your future coverage. Keep up the great work. Happy gaming :)

I like both but bought ally for price and for how its more portable it is

[@DNAplaysthosegames]

I’d love to see a video like this with more optimized game settings. Like idc about playing the game at high settings, so like medium to low settings FPS would be a nice thing to see

Here's a 👍 for your time and effort!!

[@AndrewKDA]

My Ally is maxing out at 67 degrees.. On turbo 30w...when playing assassins creed origins and all other games I've played on except efootball 24 pvp.. Which takes it to 70 degrees... So am gonna be sticking to it for now.. I had to do some tweaking tho.. But am good with my Ally

[@Kryptons_takeoff]

Right off the bat the go stuttering 😂

[@El-gordo_]

You need to redo this test with the gos new drivers and such

[@shizbyrc8438]

So their performance seems pretty comparable. If I had to choose one today, I'd go Ally only because I like its feature set over the Legion Go.

[@bigwolf720]

was this the Ally Extreme or regular?

[@filt3rless]

This is the z1 extreme version.
