This is my first AMD product where I’m actually playing games on and I’m super confused as to how this RSR option works the Legion Go.
At first I thought i drop my resolution on the quick menu tab then change the resolution to something higher in-game. But I don’t seem to get much increase on quality.
If anyone has a guide on how to properly use this option or if it’s even currently working properly on most games being it’s a newer device, lemme know.
I have Radeon super resolution on. Not sure if its doing anything. Also, should I set the OS and thermal to optimized as opposed to balance?

Hey guys so I’ve been playing with the GO since release.
I haven’t really messed with anything. Got the legion space out of box and updated and also the amd driver
Not sure if much has changed after the amd update.
So far able to play RDR2 with tweaks. I think the fps will be higher once they release more updates to the go and graphics.
So far. Playing along till they sort out all the performance issues
I do like the new drivers, but for mine, when I grabbed the latest primarily for with Fluid Motion feature, it broke the FPS, in fact it broke all monitoring of the GPU, it's like it didn't exist anymore and the AMD overlay also breaks Fluid Motion as it changes the orientation to portait, so that's not an option. For added fun, Fluid Motion Frames don't show up in the steam FPS counter.
Short answer, I saw some improvement, but it wasn't worth all the other issues. I've settled on stock but on Windows Tiny 11 as it chews up much less memory. Doesn't make a massive difference to FPS but I am a fan of an OS that is more suited to what I'm doing.
Did u have to go to Lenovo support to update your legion go.
I get about 60 fps on most games I've set the refresh rate 60hz 30w Most games at low-med graphics Is it worth turning on super resolution on the amd app? I'm only asking bc some textures take a few seconds to load properly.
This guide will help you correctly enable and use both Radeon Super Resolution (RSR) and Radeon Super Integer Scaling (RSI) on your Legion Go.
Enabling Radeon Super Resolution (RSR)
RSR is designed to upscale a lower-resolution game to your monitor’s native resolution while improving performance.
Steps to Enable RSR:
Ensure Radeon Software is Installed:
Open the AMD Adrenalin software. If it's not installed, download it from the official AMD website or through the windows store after installing the correct drivers (there are multiple threads about this).
. 2. Enable RSR:
Open the AMD Adrenalin software.
Go to Settings (gear icon).
Navigate to the Display tab.
Scroll down to find Radeon Super Resolution and toggle it ON.
***(You may also enable RSR in the Legion GO's Quick Settings menu, if you have drivers that are capable of using it, but enabling and disabling RSR through that menu will reset a lot of your settings in AMD Radeon so I wouldn't recommend it)
3. Set Game to a Lower Resolution:
Launch the game you want to use with RSR.
In the game's video settings, set the resolution to something lower than your monitor's native resolution (e.g., 1280x800 or 800p).
Check Monitor Resolution:
Ensure that your monitor's native resolution is set to a higher resolution (e.g., 2560x1600 or 1600p) in your Quick Settings menu or Windows display settings.
Confirm RSR is Working:
After enabling RSR and setting the game to a lower resolution, RSR will automatically upscale the game to your display's native resolution.
You should notice an FPS boost and sharper visuals compared to native rendering.
Enabling Radeon Super Integer Scaling (RSI)
RSI is designed to upscale lower resolutions using pixel-perfect integer scaling, providing sharp, blocky upscaling without blur.
Steps to Enable RSI:
Open AMD Adrenalin Software:
Launch the AMD Adrenalin software from your Legion Go.
Enable Integer Scaling:
Go to Settings (gear icon).
Navigate to the Display tab.
Scroll down to find Integer Scaling and toggle it ON.
Choose a Compatible Resolution:
Set your game's resolution to a lower resolution that is an exact fraction of your monitor’s native resolution (e.g., 800p for a 1600p monitor).
Check Scaling in Action:
When you launch the game with RSI enabled, the lower-resolution image will scale up to fill the screen with sharp, pixel-perfect visuals.
Key Differences Between RSR and RSI:
• RSR: Works with any lower resolution and upscales using advanced image processing, which can result in smoother but slightly blurrier visuals compared to RSI.
• RSI: Requires a lower resolution that is a perfect fraction of your monitor’s native resolution, providing sharper, pixel-perfect upscaling.
When to Use RSR vs RSI:
• RSR is best if you want to balance performance and image quality with a smoother, upscaled look, and you’re not restricted to specific resolutions.
• RSI is ideal if you want sharp, pixel-perfect visuals and are okay with using specific resolutions that evenly divide into your monitor’s native resolution. This may be the better option if your game is not capable of rendering above 800p, or you wish to render it at the lowest possible resolution.
I have seen a lot of misinformation regarding if you need to set the games resolution and your resolution to the same to use RSR, what exactly RSR and RSI does, and how it should actually be turned on.
There is just conflicting information all over Reddit and various other places on the internet.
I figured I would make a quick and simple guide on how this works in case there are any other people that aren't familiar with how to use these features in the hopes they don't get lost in a rabbit hole of misinformation like I have.
To the best of my knowledge this is completely accurate.
If there is something I misstated please let me know.
