I have to agree, it's better but not really massivley so.

Title Legion Go S - SteamOS Legion Go S - Windows
Cyberpunk 59 FPS 46 FPS
Helldivers 2 70 FPS 65 FPS
Doom Eternal 75 FPS 66 FPS
Spiderman 2 63 FPS 64 FPS
Witcher 3 76 FPS 66 FPS

That's still an average of over 10% FPS gains overall. Similar improvement to a new GPU generation, but on the same hardware. Sounds pretty massive to me.

and 20% in a couple. That's pretty massive considering we're talking about the exact same hardware.

Title Legion Go S - SteamOS Legion Go S - Windows Difference
Cyberpunk 59 FPS 46 FPS +28%
Helldivers 2 70 FPS 65 FPS +7%
Doom Eternal 75 FPS 66 FPS +14%
Spiderman 2 63 FPS 64 FPS -2%
Witcher 3 76 FPS 66 FPS +15%

Anything above 5% is significant, 10% on the same hardware IMHO classifies as massive

10% FPS gain, huge battery savings AND costing $130 less... that is massive

[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

12% faster on average, with anywhere from a 30-320% battery life improvement.

Just from a software change.

That is massive. You'd usually need a hardware upgrade for an improvement like that.

I didn't read the whole article and mostly looked at the table. 12% is a number I would describe as a huge difference, but combined with the battery life I have to agree that it is indeed a massive difference.
