Notebookcheck Highest profile, 1920 × 1080, 4x MSAA + FXAA, 16x anisotropic filtering. Standard gaming benchmark on an EXTERNAL MONITOR, not the Deck's 1280 × 800 internal display. Exact unit: Valve Steam Deck 1 TB OLED, Steam Deck OLED APU / Radeon 8CU, 16 GB RAM, SteamOS. The review's testing conditions specify a maximum 15W APU budget (15W sustained / short burst); this is a power limit, not measured total system draw.

Test route: Publisher standard GTA V benchmark; external display
SETTINGS: Notebookcheck Highest profile, 1920 × 1080, 4x MSAA + FXAA, 16x anisotropic filtering. Standard gaming benchmark on an EXTERNAL MONITOR, not the Deck's 1280 × 800 internal display. Exact unit: Valve Steam Deck 1 TB OLED, Steam Deck OLED APU / Radeon 8CU, 16 GB RAM, SteamOS. The review's testing conditions specify a maximum 15W APU budget (15W sustained / short burst); this is a power limit, not measured total system draw. Historical result: Marc Herter's English review was published February 15, 2024. The GTA V comparison chart and results table report 19.5 FPS for this exact OLED unit; both the chart heading and result were visually checked. This is the original 2015 PC release, now catalogued as GTA V Legacy, not GTA V Enhanced. The documented rendering path uses MSAA/FXAA, not a DLSS/FSR or frame-generation mode; external scaling/modifications are not documented. The result is the publisher's benchmark FPS result, not an instantaneous OSD reading or an FPS cap. It is not a current playability or GTA Online compatibility claim. The reviewer could not install FPS logging tools including MangoHud, so no capture tool or lows are inferred. Exact test date, game build, driver/SteamOS build, power connection, duration, run count, VRAM allocation and the complete individual menu settings are unavailable. Lows and battery life remain blank. Imported/source-checked September 12, 2026; no new hardware testing was performed by HandheldAtlas. Research note: this source explicitly says manual Witcher 3 and Ratchet & Clank benchmarks were not possible; do not import performance values for those games from its power/noise tables.

High profile at 1920 × 1080.
Test date not reported · Added to Atlas Sep 10, 2026
SETTINGS: High profile at 1920 × 1080. Historical Notebookcheck review published 2025-08-25; this is not a new hardware test. Exact device: Lenovo Legion Go S SteamOS with AMD Ryzen Z2 Go and Radeon 680M. The source explicitly maps Performance mode to approximately 30–35W while gaming; specifications list 30W sustained and 40W short boost. Evidence: the visually verified GTA V (2015) results table reports a measured 48.7 FPS average in the High column. No upscaling or frame-generation option is part of the source's documented profile, and this entry makes no generated-output claim. Exact test date, game build, driver/OS build, power connection, capture tool, duration, run count and full per-option menu are unavailable. Lows and battery life remain blank. Source checking is not a fresh performance test.

Normal/Off 4xAF AA.
Test date not reported · Added to Atlas Sep 9, 2026
SETTINGS: Normal/Off 4xAF AA. Historical source review published 2024-01-18. Lenovo Legion Go 8APU1, Ryzen Z1 Extreme, Radeon 780M, 16GB DDR5-7500. The review used a 30W maximum TDP and automatic high cooling. This power limit is not a measurement of sustained consumption; VRAM allocation is not specified. Evidence: the review's game benchmark table, matching game row and graphics column, with the setting tooltip checked and table visually verified. Published average 106.7 FPS at 1366 × 768. The tested 2015 PC release maps to GTA V Legacy, not the Enhanced edition. AF/AA labels preserve the source's notation; unspecified values are not inferred. The named preset and listed overrides are documented, but a full per-option menu, frame-generation state, cap, exact test date, capture duration, run count and driver/OS builds are unavailable. Upscaling is unspecified except where the setting explicitly says FSR off. Power connection is not identified per result. Lows and battery life remain blank. Source checking is not a new performance test.
