Lenovo Legion Go review – Surpassed Our Expectations with Stellar Gaming Performance and Unrivaled Display
Performance: CPU, GPU, Gaming Tests
All benchmarks and tests were conducted with the “Performance” profile activated in the Legion Space app. The “OS Power Mode” is set to “Performance”. Also, the “UMA Frame Buffer Size” is set to 4GB in the BIOS. The default value is 3GB but we wanted the dedicated RAM size to be the same as the one of the ASUS Rog Ally (2023) in order to compare the two devices correctly.
