nice video but i got something to say about this though, hope you read this! with a 4090 which is far above anything, similar like the launch of 1080ti.. i think 10 years from now you will look at the card with alot of thankfullness, since you dont really max it out and you dont seem the type to upgrade every gen to the best gpu, this will be repayed to you in value 10 years from now. A couple of 1080ti users that i know were also thinking like this and till this day they dont seems to want to upgrade since they dont feel the need for it. People will have to upgrade every 3 to 4 of years if they have a mid range pc, i have a 3070 im not gonna play 1080p on a 27inch monitor xD Remember 980 ti was marketed as the 4k gpu, in the old games yes but now no chance, this gpu will like every other flagship age. this gpu will be the 1440p legend probably in the future, 1080ti was the 1080p legend ;).

I liked this video. I hope you will make more videos.

Is that MATX or ITX ?

Good news is you should be good for a decade or more with that setup.

the Ally Z1 extreme was on sale at $450. Hard to beat when it comes to value. even at a discounted price of 699, the ally x is not worth the extra bump in performance. I have a solid gaming desktop at home, and the ally complements my gaming on the go. any RPG, MMO, will do just fine on teh ally, no issues. Upgraded to a 4tb SSD and I feel like I've reached the peak of my gaming hardware journey.

Its on sale for $699 now.

Humble 🤴

I could buy a 4090 if I wanted to, but with the games that are out right now - having just literally reinstalled Classic WoW to play Classic Fresh, I wouldn't be able to enjoy a 4090. Now if there was a FOMO game that could encourage me to drop 2k on a GPU I wouldn't mind. However, the last FOMO game I ever took place in was Age of Conan.. that was like 2008 or so.

RTX4090 n 4080 is for the 4k gamers. RTX 4070 is perfectly good for 1440 n 1080p

U tripping Ally X is a major u don’t have to walk around with ya charger for one. And that Ally has 16gb While Ally X has 24 most games play waaaaay smoother Madden for example runs great on X that’s the difference in 16gb vs 24gb even call of duty runs much smoother I have Both Ally and Ally X That Battery Alone Kills it cause u can play So many games of call of duty without running to that charger unlike the regular Ally, 3 Full Games of call of duty it’s dead . And Steam Deck Is Tooo Weak PC more game So that alone puts steam deck on the shelf

You can't complain about the price and don't need another portable gaming hand held whenever you still bought it anyway.

the days of badass gaming rigs being cool are over. buying overpriced hardware just to do what? Play the woke trash being put out by the AAA industry? stupid move.

So glad to find this video. Was about to order and needed some assurance! New sub👍

Owned mine since 2022. Still having no problems with it. Still love it.

Went from OG 512gb Series S then upgraded to Series X. After financial difficulties I sold my X and didn’t game for over a year. When I got back on my feet and could buy a console again, after deliberation I got a new and sealed black 1TB Series S for $275 off eBay with Seagate 1TB expansion card/4TB external HDD combo for $180. 4k gaming is overrated, and the minimal jump in performance that X/PS5 give isn’t worth the extra $. That extra $ could be spent augmenting your storage capacity, or buying a quality accessory like a mid-high end headset. In the grand scheme of all the devices you can play games and stream TV/movies on, the Series S is pound for pound the best value in entertainment. Price/Performance/Form Factor. Period. The Series S runs 90 percent of games flawlessly.

I'm thinking getting a steamdeck, it may not have performance and power of the rog ally or the legion go but from what seem steamdeck seems more like a console than windows device. Debating on 512gb or 1tb

The price is steep indeed. When do you think the price will decrease coz I'm planning to get one

You bought, as stated by even the manufacturer, a enthusiast card and parts...you don't step back and wonder if it was a wise budgetary move after. Cuz it's not, it's on the tin.

You arent considering, this will out perform a console, and, it will do most people fine who dont want to buy a pc.

Honestly. It's tough to beat the Nintendo Switch still. Excellent battery life, true console handheld, proper suspend, and plays all the typical games you would want to play on the go. The Ally X is just crazy expensive. Over 140 million Nintendo Switches have been sold. 3-4 million Steam Deck. Rog Ally far less than Steam Deck. The Switch is the value king. Physical games on cartridge provides investment, or you can buy digital. Easy docking that comes with the console. Seperate controllers for easy replacement and 3rd party support. LCD and OLED options. It's the best all around portable gaming device on the market. To argue otherwise is just ignorant and or fanboyism.

The first handheld featuring the newest fastest “next gen” AMD mobile chip costs $1,330 The Alley X is not expensive at all for a premium device. The highest end product only originates from out of China b/c it routinely runs $1,000+ (USD) & North American manufacturers don’t believe that the west would ever pay this price for this tech. Get familiar with how to import if you want the best of best stuff b/c no company like ASUS is ever gonna sell the handheld portable version of “the best.”

But for someone who doesn’t have one, what would you recommend?

If I want a hand held game I’ll just buy a play station back bone for my I phone n instaly I have I ps5 n my hand dummies 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Better graphics n cpu on the 15 pro max period

My 15 pro max is better gamer than this bull sht

Wat idiot would spend 5 to 7 hundred dollars on that when u can get play station pro for that price

Bought the rog ally x a few weeks ago since I travel a lot for work, this thing runs BO6 multiplayer flawlessly even on trash hotel WiFi

Selling mine and pre ordering the OneXFly F1 pro . The screen on the Ally X just wasn't immersive enough . VRR is fine but no oled screen. I just saw the F1 OnexFly OLED the other day being available for pre order and that no bezel OLED screen on that device just looks next gen and immersive especially with no bezels .... So Ally X sold ...

Just upgrade your CPU asap.

Ive just spent a grand building a budget pc with an R5 7600 and a 4060, upgrading from tech thats 7-12 years old. (AMD FX9590/RX 580) It was worth the upgrade for 1080p gaming. I upgrade once every ten years roughly. I don't need to play modern titles, i just need good games. Gaming since 1979 (Oh, quick edit, the power draw is nice too!)

7900X seems like a suboptimal pairing with a 4090 atleast gaming wise. the GPU gets bottlenecked quite a bit in a few games.

How will it run on gta6 ?

How do games run when upscaling to 4k ? Any framerate issues

Im buying a 4090 soon and THIS review is my exact thoughts! I dont care how the next gen would do compared to the 4090, all I love is the fact that this thing will be a beast at handling games from now till 5-8 years in time with no struggle! Especially because of the 24 gb? I now have little worry about. Perfect and sensible review. Love this.

So what’s the difference between this and Backbone or the PlayStation portal?

I think a vast majority of games coming to PC off rip is a huge point. Steam and even Epic have a huge corner on a great deals for games several times a year that ive never once seen be competitive from either sony or Microsoft

It feels so weird that I could relate to you during the conclusion part even though I just own a low-end gpu (3060). Why? Because I could play old games in high settings without worrying about fps and visuals. I could never properly play 2010 era games for some personal life reasons; so now after 2020 it feels so good.

Great video, next time I would just avoid saying “essentially” 47 times lmaoooo

60 FPS "standard": it's overkill 100+ FPS 4k gamers: nope

These cards are sold buy KZbinrs doing fomo videos, I stopped and looked after building a 2k pc this month and thinking 2k for what what game is worth paying 2k to play answer none , boxed it all back and sent it all back just buy a MacBook Air and geforce now ultimate 4080 24ohz 4k for £200 a year how much will a 4090 be with in 1 year because of the latest new shiny thing 50 series to play games from 5 years ago or cs source wtf don't buy into the bs leave it all behind

I know I’m about a year late to this video but how would one go about downloading this on the internal SSD while still being able to play on windows which runs on the external SD? Been trying to find an answer but got nothing so far.

Mi consejo para ti bro, en 5 años NO cambies tu GPU, simplemente a los nuevos juegos que salgan bajale un poco la configuración gráfica, de ultra a alto o medio y ten en cuenta que las tecnologías como DLSS habrán mejorado mucho con el paso del tiempo. Lo que quiero decir es que no seas consumista y no normalices gastar esta cantidad de dinero cada pocos años. Un saludo.

As @johanndaart7326 said here, "I think that buying top of the line PC at least once in a lifetime is a nice experience"...and YES...I can confirm. Just got my $6K PC maxed to the hek...and yea, probabil was a complete overkill, but I had to get this experience at some point and have some fun...after all it's not drugs and I'm really not destroying myself. I'm working on it and do other stuff too, so this was an ok purchase. But yea, the experience of owning a beast, it kinda justifies the destruction of the bank account. Once per lifetime is fine. What could go wrong?😹❤🙏

Hey!! Wanted to ask if we could connect a wired keyboard and mouse in that hub (along with the capture card) is it possible??

Great review! I own a 4090 and a 9800x3d, which as you mentioned it's definitely worth for someone who prioritize visual to high fps like myself. But for somebody who more or less want to game on 2k high fps, it's not a need.

I recently dumped money on a rig like this but went harder on my ram and storage space. It cost a arm and a leg but it performs at such high levels i never worry about what i throw at it and thats all i ever wanted

I'm always wondering why do people bother with these expensive setup if they aren't playing VR or sims on multi monitor setup. What games actually need a 4090 to run smoothly at high setting?

Hello, the textures of the walls do not load for me. Do you know why it could be?

As a simracer with triple 4K setup I wish I could afford 4090 or 5090. I just set my monitors to 1440p so I can get stable 100fps in ACC (not maxed out, DLSS Q) with 4070TI and it looks way better than 4K with DLSS Performance (and smoother!).

besides the point, but how did you like the alienware monitor?
