Today we are diving into the advantages of using 800p RIS (Radeon Image Sharpening) over the standard 1080p resolution, particularly for gaming on the Lenovo Legion Go.
To kick things off, let’s delve into Red Dead Redemption 2, a stunning AAA title, running on 800p with RIS. The visual improvement is immediately noticeable. The game looks absolutely breathtaking, showcasing that 800p RIS is a fantastic way to experience high-resolution gaming while maintaining impressive FPS counts. Now, let's contrast this with the same game running at 1080p. Although the visual quality at 1080p is quite good, the FPS count takes a hit, hovering around 35-40 FPS. In comparison, the 800p RIS setup achieves close to 60 FPS, a significant boost, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
The comparison between 800p RIS and 1080p highlights a critical point: while the quality remains fairly consistent, the performance enhancement with 800p RIS is unmistakable. The game not only looks good but runs smoother, making a strong case for gamers who prioritize frame rates.
Now, let’s talk about setting up RIS for optimal performance. The process begins with the AMD software, where you ensure that Red Dead Redemption 2 is running with Radeon Image Sharpening enabled. A game restart might be necessary to apply these settings. Next, set the resolution to 800p within the game settings and choose full-screen mode to enable RIS effectively.
The result is a visually stunning experience that rivals 1080p quality but with the added benefit of higher and more stable FPS. Running Red Dead Redemption 2 with these settings on the Lenovo Legion, you can expect FPS counts in the 50s, which is impressive.
In conclusion, for those using Lenovo Legion devices or similar gaming setups, 800p RIS presents an excellent balance between quality and performance. It's a setup I highly recommend for a superior gaming experience. What are your thoughts on using 800p RIS over 1080p?
