Massively?

Yeah there's improvements, battery and performance wise

There's nothing massive here there is a decent bump in specifically the cyberpunk fps

Edit: geez this single comment brought more people out of the woodwork to respond to me than anything else I have commented on lemmy

I'm not even here arguing which one is better like come on now

Massively is the wrong word to use it's that simple

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

The response here is mild and some people are agreeing with you

[+] aubertlone@lemmy.world -6 points 2 weeks ago

To be completely honest, I am a little annoyed about all the people bringing up price.

.... yo I agree too but we're talking about performance here not price.

And saying that the price being free adds to the word "massive" being used aptly is just kinda dumb for real.

Anyway I'm going to turn off notifications for this comment. You're correct that I'm probably being extra here. Well, you implied it but it's true. It's just like people don't want to converse man. Thought we came out here that this part of the internet because we could actually talk about things, not say "no u"

and I'm definitely frustrated that I've been making comments for quite a while and the most engagement is when I barely say something not even negative about Linux.

Idk man. Have a nice day

Well I'm so sorry you're offended (not really), but price is relevent when you're comparing products.

saying that the price being free adds to the word "massive" being used aptly is just kinda dumb for real.

Again, you're just so wrong.

If product A is better than product B, that's bad enough. If product A also happens to be free while product B costs over $100, then that's extremely notable and should be brought up in a comparison.

Maybe it's your line of thinking that's just kinda dumb for real?

It's just like people don't want to converse man.

You're such a victim. Oh wait, it's you that started being hostile and dismissive. You're the one who doesn't want to have a respectful discussion, and when you talk like that, you shouldn't expect people to treat you nicely in return.

I can understand where you're coming from. Sometimes people do pile on over silly things. It sucks to self-censor but I think I've learned just to stay quiet on a lot of the topics people will jump on me for. The worst is when people will accuse you of holding horrible bigoted views because you make a comment about how something in a post or comment isn't exactly true. Any dissent = black and white judgement sometimes. The internet is way worse than it should be...

I don't particularly enjoy the downvotes people get on here for dissenting opinions. I liked the old school Reddit mentality of "if it adds to the discussion".

Any dissent = black and white judgement sometimes.

I was trying to say the US Dems aren't the same as the Republicans. I did state I didn't like them either and listed something Biden did that's good. Someone accused me of defending genocide and a plethora of other things afterwards.

[-] aMockTie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

From what I can tell, at least in this specific instance, aubertlone has only received downvotes for comments they made that were directly attacking or insulting those with differing opinions from themselves. I believe their initial comment before the edit did add positively to the discussion.

I can't speak to the second part of your comment, but I'm sorry to hear that you received that response to your opinions.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

Oh -- yeah, anything but advocating for opposing democrats at all costs is "defending genocide" to a large population of lemmy. It's pathetic.

[-] AnneBonny@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

Which one is cheaper?

[-] stephen01king@lemmy.zip -1 points 2 weeks ago

Does it being cheaper makes the performance difference bigger?

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

But just to be clear, it's completely free and it performs better?

[-] stephen01king@lemmy.zip -1 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, but nobody was arguing against that.

[-] uranibaba@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

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.
