The Lenovo Legion GO With An RTX 4090 Is Insane! Docked Mode Power

Discount Code for software: ETA

In this video We Turn the Lenovo Legion Go Handheld into a Desktop PC! The Lenovo Legion Go handheld is a great way to game on the go, but it can also be used as a desktop PC. With a little bit of tinkering, you can connect an external GPU to your Legion Go and get desktop-class performance.
In this video, I show you how to connect an RTX 4090 and RX 7600XT to your Legion Go and use it in desktop mode. This will allow you to play the latest games at the highest settings and even do some video editing or 3D rendering.

Every time I see an eGPU setup I think it looks sort of cool. Then you see the prices on the eGPU is about the same or more than a full laptop.

If you put the emulation instructions video I'll definitely will view it lol ! You the reason I have a dope arcade machine ! Since 2020 I've been learning from you man ! Keep it up ! Much love 👾💯

I'd like to see Lenovo release a grip for the controllers, so you could just have the screen hooked up to a larger display and game from the couch. Something like the Nintendo Joycon comfort grip.

[TheMinisterOfTruth]

Your videos are always top notch. Thanks for the video.

I ran an egpu laptop setup for my first gaming PC but the performance and general instability of it made me built a proper desktop. They have certainly come a long way in the last 4 years. I bet in a couple more years the handheld + egpu combo could be extremely tempting.

I’m loving using my legion go on my tv with the egpu. A few tips, controller has to be in fps mode to use a different controller. Controller companion is a life saver if you are using this on a television.

[ChariotManGaming]

This is why I love your videos. And I highly recommend them. Especially the fact you bring out the strengths of the Legion Go without nitpicking every little thing. Knowing the Legion Go is brand new which will only improve and get better overtime like the Rog Ally.

[Alovon]

Have there been driver/software adjustments to USB4? That perf drop is smaller than I'd thought. Sure it's 20% versus what a 4090 in a Desktop with PCIE 4 16x would be in God of War. But it's retaining 80% of the performance with 75% less bandwidth (40gbps = 8GB/s vs the 32GB/s of PCIE 4 16x)

[revrenecalyx]

Solid content, this is 100% what I'm looking for 👍

[briansmith]

Thank you Mr Prime. You have broken the chains by bringing up real issues that people shopping are looking at and dock mode is super important and Asus dedicated egpu port I'd like to see the difference.

[igmaWolf]

I want this setup with the legion go and the gpd g1, Seems like the best of both worlds. Good Video!

[Train-Simulator-Neil]

Your technical knowledge is on another level @ETA. Thanks for making this video I really do appreciate your channel :)

eta prime covering his face up with his hand at 3:02 was hilarious

[arpdog]

Just purchased this on Droix. Was so happy to see it available. Will be using it on my Legion Go and excited to see the improvements. I play sports games and the increased FPS will be beneficial. Thanks for posting this video!

[smikeee]

Liked and subscribed. This video showed everything we need to know. Thanx, Eta Prime!

[danfay]

Love the video!! Great as always. With thunderbolt 5 around the corner promising up to 2x the egpu bandwidth. Would that be enough to run the 4090 at full tilt or are we a ways away from that?

[adamhughes]

Thanks! This is the setup I have coming. I just ordered the GPD G1 and am still waiting on the Legion.

[santinojoshuatorre]

awesome. THIS was the video i wanted to see.

[koltenrogers]

would you ever do a full video on the gpd with the legion go, it would be nice to see what kinda benchmarks and frames you could get on different games

[finalkamen]

Since the joysticks are detachables, if Lenovo can make (or let other 3rd party OEMs make it) a dedicate keyboard which perfectly fit with this little device, then it could be turning into a gaming + productive 2-in-1 machine easily! Looking forward on that 😊😎
