is it? go look at what happens in a head to head of windows vs linux when in 15w mode and the truth becomes clear windows is a bloated mess allyn needs those specs just to handle windows what your actually getting for gaming is not as much as you think the ally is the worst thing to happen to the handheld PC gaming market because it sets back any and all progress valve could have made now instead of valve being able to apply pressure to the gaming industry to increase support for getting anticheat and other games workable on linux theyll just point to ally and say why should we? so now were locked back into the windows ecosystem where we need to spend more money on hardware and even the os just to be able to get a decent performance and alot of what you actually paid for in performance you dont get to use because that gets taken up by windows and having to run it windows is a terrible os for gaming playstation does not use windows nintendo does not use windos and heres the shocker XBOX doesent even use windows it uses a verry verry verry basic stripped back to hell operating system that has only the components needed to run the dashboard and the games themselves no one does this because the less footprint your os takes the more performance you can throw at the games themselves allowing you to keep hardware costs down most games being on windows is not a argument for adopting windoes its a symptom of the problem valve was trying to fix by breaking the strangle hold on gaming windows had and they where doing it in a way that didnt even pull the monopoly over to them the same development into proton that made windows games run on steamdeck makes them work on other os's the only major holdouts was anticheat which valve was slowly making progress towards but now why bother ea activision epic and all the others who barley gave a fuck about there users in the first place will just say fuck em tell em to buy a ally if they wanna play games being on windows was never because windows was good they was on windows because that was the platform that most people had

[@mjdibella]

@@Sarge92 well, it’s interesting that you would mention ‘anti-cheat’. Some of us (myself included) need to run apps that make games easier. I am 73, with arthritic hands. I regularly run WeMod or Cheat Engine….in single player mode only, of course. Valve’s adamant refusal to allow these tools to run on the Steam Deck has made it impossible for me to play several games. I can use these tools on Windows easily. Look, nobody is saying that these tool s should be used in any online, multiplayer setting. But offline, it’s no harm, no foul. Valve could easily have worked to implement an offline restricted mode for modders. They have refused to do so. On the other hand, it is easily done in Windows. I look forward to buying and playing Dark Souls, Elden Ring, and other hard games, which I will play offline in ‘easy mode’. Valve gets a sale, I get to play, and I stay offline so nobody else cares.

I’ve been using the Ally for over a week and it’s been running great. After you do all the updates, it seems to be running okay without any major issues. Overall, it’s a beast! I’ve been playing a lot of FIFA, COD and NFS. The only major issue to me is the battery life, most of the time I have it plugged in. I can barely get through 2 online fifa matches on full charge. A power bank would be a good investment if I were to use it more on the go. So if you are on the fence, just cop it, it’s an amazing handheld! If you can deal with the normal windows problems and god tier battery life 😂, this thing will NOT disappoint!

[@snake2106]

SD card getting corrupted or burnt is still a design flaw issue in the ROG ally though

[@mhnoni]

This is how you make a comparison, min 5:50 SD 720p 34fps vs Asus 720p 58fps, it has almost x2 power, you can't compare 720p vs 1080p. I think if you get Asus and downclock it, it will beat SteamD in every single way, including the battery lifetime. you might even get x2 more battery if you downclock it to have the same performance as SteamD since it has a newer chip that consumes less power to do the same task, but out of the box, Asus consume more power since its 1080p 120hz. If only Asus screen was Oled.

You can easily see the differences in engineering feats by this comparison.. Why would you put 1080p 120hz panel in a handheld console ? Make it 720p or 800p 60hz like SteamDeck and enjoy the extra performance. Screen is already small, and battery is already on a tight budget. Now people will say "then open games in lower resolution" ... Nope, nothing compares to 1:1 native scale. Asus always does this. Gives 2k 360hz screen to a laptop that has lower end mobile GPU. They just throw buch of stacked hardware but don't think mindfully or ponder over it when it comes to engineering.

then use fsr to upscale from 720p and it will look better without much of battery cost.

Exactly it’s actually disappointing because this SOC is capable of a lot more. Asus went cheap with the ram it should be the 7500mhz variant and windows 11 which has high overhead costs. If valve makes a handheld with the 7840 it will be legitimately twice the performance of not more. SteamOS is a streamlined operating system of beauty especially with game scope!

ROG Ally's display looks like OLED and it's good to see.

[@John_Smith5]

Unfortunately valve really cheap out when it came to the screen. Even the OG switch has a better screen

[@adityarezah1016]

tbh I hate OLED and any kind of forced obsolescence techs any OLED screen will eventually have shadow and burn-in, I'd much rather stick with IPS for long term use of my devices

I'd take a SteamDeck over that any day. While the screen on the deck sucks, everything else about it is better.

Important to point out is if the steam deck is using the slow 64gb emmc,or using a faster nvme SSD.

Did you make sure to test them at the same wattage? Otherwise you would be playing for less than 1 hour in the Ally ;)

[@coolmodee]

Max wattage on the steam deck is 15!!!

[@prodoommania4157]

Yes finally an unbias one. If there's one thing Valve is doing right now is they are putting a lot of money into marketing and "free devices" for top content creators. So there is a ton of bias info out there on the Steam Deck. Ally is the clear winner.

[@DeckTested]

Interesting that if you’re playing the Deck at 720p/800p and Ally at 1080p the performance is pretty close if not Identical between them which isn’t bad at all. I know at 720p on the ROG performance is up significantly but I always prefer to run native personally so looking at this there isn’t the headroom for performance like one would have expected.

[@JoeyClover]

... wattage wasn't mentioned. Also, run at 720p and upscale to 1080p "native" if you want the boosts

[@RetroMannGaming]

That's a great comparison, thanks. I have my Deck since Q1'22 and am very happy I got it. It cost me 530€ (Basic model + 500GB SSD upgrade and 512GB SD Card). Sure Asus has advantages, but the support Valve gives to the Deck makes me think I got the better product. I also do not play AAA titles from 2022 or beyond except for Elden Ring, so performance is not my main concern.

[@clerk1257]

The same thing here. I got basic deck for half a price of ally which cost in Germany 799 eur. Already have a ps5 so the current gen games are not in priority for me to be played on a steam deck

[@RetroMannGaming]

@@clerk1257 also in Germany here :) For the $699 price tag, if it were the same number in Euros, it would be extremely tempting, but 799€ not really. Also a lot of reviewers are pointing at (what is to be expected) bad software. Well Armory Crate is garbage at best and Windows is not meant for handheld gaming. Sure the performance is there, but most people owning a Deck, have at least another more high end machine, be it a PS5 like you or two more PCs like me lol. I am not impressed and I still love my Deck.

I don't why everyone compares the OS when comparing the two. On Steam Deck you can get Windows and on Ally Rog you can get a modded Steam OS like I have on my Ally Rog. If you want to compare do a video on Steam OS vs Windows do on one device and see which is better OS.

[@mevoogle]

SteamDeck is much easier to replace parts and you can even get hall effect sticks. Asus I don't believe it will be more forgiving in that aspect.

[@nzxtsnue1139]

bad comparison. you didn't show the TDP you use on the ally - not many ppl will play at high TDPs because it drains the battery fast , there are already many devices like AYANEO ,OXP and GPD that can outperform the steamdeck , but at higher TDPs . so ally doesn't really bring anything new to the market besides the price. valve knew that we are limited on the battery technology that is why they made a chip that is optimized on low TDPs and its outperforms the ally on those low TDPs.

[@HotICEGaming]

true

[@darkdagon6]

Muchas gracias por la comparativa. Durante las rebajas pasadas pillé una Steam Deck y la devolví porque no era lo que me esperaba (quería usarla para más cosas que Steam y le instalé Windows 11; y ni aún así me mereció la pena), pero esta ROG Ally tiene buena pìnta...

[@SightlyJester]

Es una oportunidad desaprovechada no haber puesto el tiempo que tarda en agotarse la batería en ambas usando las mismas condiciones (vatios, brillo, resolucion de pantalla, ajustes graficos). Tambien veo que te ha faltado poner en ambas el modo o voltaje que estan consumiendo, deduzco que la ally usa el modo turbo (30w) en todo momento en este video por lo que en estos test la batería jugando deberia durar notablemente menos que la Steam Deck.

[@ElAnalistaDeBits]

Tranquilo, esto es sólo una preview. De cara al lanzamiento, habrá más análisis de ROG Ally más detallados cuando tenga acceso al firmware definitivo.

[@joseromero3082]

​@@ElAnalistaDeBitsLa gracia está en poner esos datos, de que me vale si está consumiendo 30w y la otra 15?

hm what version of steam deck is this sd card or nvme also dont think ally competes vs the $400 version of deck and maybe if they drop it to $350 would be 2x cheaper still

[@GGoblin1]

Valve should release a bareboness version of the steamdeck without the internal SSD and price it at $300 - user can install a large SSD later

[@Eskoxo]

@@GGoblin1 $400 is already barebones it has basically sd card in there for $2 to store operating system

[@JC-Alan]

It is actually pretty insane how much better the Ally performs in certain instances, like with GTA V

[@Boi-ud3dk]

Meh, not worth it. In the same resolution performance increase 30-50%, but it's still unoptimized windows 11 for portable devices & smaller battery life. There's some tests already indicating that on 8-10w steamdeck sometimes even faster due to custom CPU not a laptop ripoff

[@KseRBanshee]

Not what I expected as well, running native at 1080p the performance is about the same. So the performance gain is just used to accommodate higher screen resolution 😢

Maybe when the Ally gets optimized a bit more and can run low TDP as good as it runs high TDP. You still honestly can’t compete with the SteamDeck at that price level. If Valve bumped their 256gb down to their $400 system and the 512gb to their $500 they’d be even better.
