Hi Sara Rose for modern, more performance hungry games, I would recommend following settings and procedures:

---

General resolution and driver Settings

- Setting the main Resolution of the Go to 1600p (2560 x1600)

- Enabling \"GPU Scaling\" and \"Integer Scaling\" (should be called like that as options in the AMD Adrenalin Driver Software, as I have a German System I can't confirm this to a 100%)

- Setting the in game resolution to 800p (looks definetly great enough, if using Integer Scaling properly)

-> double checking at Game start up, the system resolution actually stays at 1600p, if it switches back to the game resolution, switch it back in the LegionSpace side Menu (quick settings Menu) to 1600p

--> Integer Scaling gives you a way sharper image quality through perfectly multiplying the quarter resolution (800p) by 4 times, resulting in a perfectly upscaled image to the native resolution of the Go's Display (1600p)

TDP and Energy modes

For those more modern, hardware hungry games I would recommend a TDP between 20 and 30 watts in custom settings, or just turn on the performance mode, and you should be fine (even though 30 Watt custom mode, can bring you even more performance in several cases).

Set up the system Energy mode to efficiency, as that way your GPU is getting more power and this is best for most games. If you should encounter a really CPU heavy game, like a strategy game with thousends of objects in the game to be calculated, it might be worth it to test it in Performance mode.
\n ->>> In general looking at the Go's APU (consisting of CPU and GPU on one chip) be aware that the CPU is quite fast already, the GPU is quite slow compared to dedicated (real and normal) graphics cards.

VRAM Settings in Bios (to be implemented in LegionSpace too in the future)

If you start the Go by pressing the Power button and the Up volume button for a long Time, you will be able to access to the BIOS of the system. Here you can find several essencial settings.

One of those is the UMA (V-RAM) size. As the Go has an APU, meaning a CPU and a GPU on one Chip, GPU and CPU share the 16 GB of RAM memory together, and use those for the System Memory and the Graphical memory. By setting up the VRAM size, you also define the rest memory being used for the system at the same time.

The best settings highly depend on the game, the graphical settings you wanna set, and how (system) RAM memory hungry a game is.

I would recommend 6 GB of VRAM overall, as this counts to be the sweet spot for most games, or trying out AUTO mode, as this can even improve game performance some times, but can also lead to issues with certain games not properly supporting it.

Besides that for games settings:

I would recommend to start with the lowest graphical settings and seeing how fast your FPS are there (by turning on the option in the legion Space side menu, or by installing and using MSI Afterburner) and then switching on the graphics options which are most relevant to you. If the game performs well already, just leave it as it is. If it doesn't, turn on FSR2 in game on one of the better quality settings.

(If you go too low, the quality of the picture will get way worse and ugly -> there are people who can play at FSR2 \"performance\" mode even at 800p, but for me that is looking way to ugly 😅😅😅)

FS3 in future graphics driver update

Within the next Graphics driver update there will also be frame generation implemented in to ways:
\n One on a system level called \"AFMF\", another called \"FSR3\" on a way better, game adopted level (just in a few supported games so far, but they will be more and more). It will then be worth it to deactivate FSR 2 and to just activate FSR3 in the in game options, or AFMF (within the driver software options) to see if you are happy with their results and picture quality, and still happy with the additional latency introduced. Not good for Multiplayer shooters definetly (here FSR 2 is way better), but can be good for single player experiences, or if you just play Multiplayer games for fun, and don't care them to be too precise.

---------------------

I know this was very long, but as this is a question that comes up over and over again, and I'm currently ill at home, I took the time to properly write it down once and for all 😅😋👍
\n --> As often going into each smaller detail of those settings, is not always good and helpful, as they all play in together.

What's your setup/settings for intense games?
