Testing games on the ASUS ROG Ally

[@rillotv]

Performance has been solid - battery life has been ROUGH. Should have another short form (and hopefully long form) video out soon going more in depth Edit: Also misspoke - f1 22* not 23, but using the Alpha Romeo 23 car/demo. I imagine 23 would run even better

[@VIPERFUTURE]

Nice

[@ShinMegamiTensei1]

Test mortal kombat 11 and X

[@anonymousnelo]

PLS TRY C.O.D MW2 CAMPAIGN

[@slama_silviu_47]

No, the new f1 23 is poorly optimised on my pc with 16 gigs of ram ryzen 7 and gtx 1650 ti a night race in vegas runs at 40 fps max with ultra low graphics, on f1 22 on singapore which was the most demanding map with a full a.i. grid in the night and with full rain with medium graphics the game went at around 80 fps

[@niaz210]

If only there was one for ps4/5

[@IzNotBen-]

As long as the frame rate stays above 65FPS for 85% of the time, I’m satisfied

[@HoneyTwee]

Some tall requirements for a little 7 inch screen portable device. 1080p, modern games, 65fps as a 15% low. Depends on the game that might be doable. But those are some high expectations from a portable device like this. All those games he tested are easy to run eSports games probably on medium settings.

[@Hanswurstpelle]

Heres a comment from a non pc gamer that bought one: I am not a pc gamer. I bought this for convenience as a trucker. It runs everything the way im happy with. Everything works well. If you are a casual gamer thats used to console and doesnt care or even notice specific fps stuff and graphics that much it plays as good as my series X as far as im concerned and im happy and impressed

[@rillotv]

That’s dope! Glad you’re happy with it so far

[@eliza-janebreseman5844]

The real question is how do you get games? I’m so lost and just got it today, I’m used to playing games on consoles not PC

[@rillotv]

@@eliza-janebreseman5844 You would need to download a launcher first! So Steam, Epic Games, or Xbox game pass are all good starts. Once one of those are downloaded you can open it up and download games from those apps

[@jsensei8637]

Same I got one because I’m a trucker too and it plays games just as good as a console , im honestly amazed considering it was only like $700 lol

[@pxl_official]

@jsensei8637 same here man, i just kept saying out loud "aint no way" everytime id keep bumping up the graphics on games to see what the limit was. Dont get me wrong. Some games you gotta bring it down and running at 720p makes a big difference but i keep looking at the ally thinking how the hell did they fit all that power in there

[@braddeputy]

I heard, “how long,” and was super confused when all you talked about was FPS. 😂

[@DanielE-oq1dt]

As an owner of this and a Steam Deck, I will say that the Ally is a much less polished experience but it has a lot more power. Plus Xbox Cloud Gaming/ Steam Remote Play takes care of the battery life concern even though it’s not that bad, especially with an external power brick.

[@big_poxx]

Still more Poverful than my laptop

[@JD-773]

I play MY switch games, (dont ask me how) world of warcraft and xbox gamepass cloud gaming on mine. GTA 5 runs great if you have to install it but take up 100+gigs of space, I couldn't stream that one on xbox cloud because my gta account is tied to epic games. Still ran great with minor settings tweaks solid 60 fps. Playing through High on Life right now, and 2 more great games for this handheld are the South Park games stick of truth and fractured but whole. Its like they made for the ally. So far everything i threw at it via cloud gaming works flawlessly as expected. I recommend cloud gaming for "most" AAA titles to save storage besides switch emulation, with some exceptions. If your familiar with pc gaming I'd definitely recommend the ally over the Steam deck and Legion Go. Steam deck is like having a locked down iPhone.

I have one, and it's really good for playing older titles and for emulating. Most games I play I average about 60-80 FPS for most Xboxone/PS4 games on medium-high settings. Battery life sucks though, it uses up 10% of the battery in roughly 10-15 minutes

There is a reason why the switch is underpowered. So we can play triple A titles at 30 fps on the GO with 4-8 hours of battery life. It's power efficient. Heavy games running at 60fps costs alot of juice. The switch isn't underpowered. It was designed this way. One day we will have 60,90,120 fps handhelds with 4-8 hour battery life or maybe even longer.
