If you don't play RT/4K, Neo is a upgrade compare to power
Shadow happy user for more than 4 years, I used power since launch , good graphics but I never play RT and only in 2K, for all my games, GPU stay at 70% max use, when fps is rarely better than 60 , thanks to 100% CPU (despite run all procees like discord on my local device).
With the lite offer , I decide to downgrade from power to Neo Lite, I play now 80% of time locally with my Legion Go under steam OS, thanks to amazing CPU inside.
And I made a big test : Beamng Drive, 2K high/mid depend of settings, 10 AI car on west cost.
With power I was at 24-35 fps with saturated CPU and GPU at 50-70%.
Now I'm at 45-60 fps with saturated GPU and CPU at 70-80%.
FPS win is huge in this CPU intensive game, and with lowered graphic settings, I can have more fps, when in power it's change nothing.
For GPU rendering, AI and hungry RAM use, power is better.
But for average gamer, the so much powerful GPU of Neo is a no deal.
For reminder, Power is a 4 cores Zen3 at 2.8GHz when Neo is a 4 cores Zen4 at 3.25GHz.
Many gamer said "I want RTX 4080..." , but all forget the steam deck CPU performance of shadow.
