Real-world testing in a press unit: FPS per game
A battery of early tests, conducted by content creators ETA PRIME and TheRelaxingEnd with a pre-launch press unitThis perfectly illustrates the team's ceiling across different titles. Remember that Ally has three profiles: Turbo, Performance and QuietMaximum performance is achieved in Turbo mode at the expense of battery life. And, as is to be expected with the console's AMD architecture, The key scaling technology is FSR (There is no DLSS), with FSR 3 becoming established in the ecosystem. For technical context on APIs and performance on Windows, see information on DirectX 13.
- Force Horizon 5: 1080p, Medium settings, easily surpasses 80 FPS.
- GTA V: 1080p, Medium settings, exceeds 60 FPS even in city traffic.
- The Last of Us Part I: At 1080p it's difficult to sustain more than ~30 FPS; at 720p with AMD upscaling in Performance mode it reaches ~50 FPS.
- Cyberpunk 2077: At 1080p Medium settings it exceeds 40 FPS and with FSR active it stabilizes better; on Low settings, it can go above 60 FPS at the same resolution.
- Spider-Man Miles Morales: 1080p on Low settings runs at around 50 FPS, with expected fluctuations.
- War frame: On Low it reaches ~120 FPS, leaving room to increase quality if you want.
- Red Dead Redemption 2: With Vulkan and on Low, it gets close to a stable 60 FPS.
- Resident Evil 4 Remake: Highly variable, but can exceed 100 FPS on Low at 720p.
- Call of Duty Modern Warfare II: The 60 FPS barrier at 1080p can be surpassed if you opt for Low.
At the hardware level, the console features an AMD Zen 4 CPU and RDNA 3 graphics, which explains a clear generational leap compared to previous alternativesThe launch price in Spain was set at €799, with a release date of June 13th, and pre-orders began on the official website. Interestingly, the article in which this information was shared also linked to other news from the company, such as... name change on Discord and a mission recovered from The Witcher 3 via mod, a reminder that the PC ecosystem never stops moving.
Black Myth Wukong: Recommended settings for Ally and Ally X
This title is a resource hog, but it can be tamed if you configure it intelligently. The golden rule is to start with the Low preset and tweak only a few options that add quality without sinking the FPS rate.
- Resolution: 1920 × 1080. The panel's native resolution, ideal for sharpness.
- Motion blur: to taste (in tests, "Weak" was used; you can vary it).
- Super Resolution: 67%. In many games, this is equivalent to FSR "Quality".
- Scaling method: FSR. Render below and rescale to maintain quality.
- Frame Generation: Enabled. Interpolates frames for smoother operation.
- Full ray tracing: Disabled. On a laptop, the performance cost is not worth it.
- Graphics preset: Low. From there, increase three key parameters:
- Viewing distance: High. It barely affects performance and eliminates pop-in.
- Textures: High. They depend more on VRAM than GPU; in the original Ally, it expands the allocated VRAM to have plenty of power.
- Vegetation: Medium. Improves density without too much of a penalty.
- Leave the rest on Low to preserve stability.
With that profile, the internal benchmark yielded around 57 FPS on ROG Ally with Z1 Extreme and ~60 FPS on Ally XIf you need more performance, lower the scale to 59% (FSR “Balanced”) or 50% (“Performance”): you will lose sharpness, but it is possible exceed 70 FPS with Frame Generation enabledKeep in mind variations depending on drivers, software, and whether you're playing plugged in.
God of War: Ragnarok on ROG Ally and Ally X
Kratos arrives well optimized, and that's noticeable when playing sliders. With FSR 3.1 on Quality and the console in Turbo mode, performance ranges between 40 and 50 FPS throughout much of the game. There are areas like the beginning of Svartalfheim where you can see drops to around thirty; in those cases, switch to FSR "Balanced".
If you enable Frame Generation, you'll see the FPS rise rapidly to the range of 60–80+ FPS depending on the areaBelow are the settings that achieve the best balance for the laptop:
- Resolution: × 1920 1080.
- Frame Generation: activated.
- Scaled: AMD FSR 3.1 (Quality or Balanced in heavy scenes).
- Textures: High (6 GB or more of allocated VRAM recommended).
- Models: Medium (the jump above doesn't compensate on small screens).
- Anisotropic filter: Ultra (minimal impact on performance, significant visual improvement).
- Lighting: High (notable improvement at an affordable cost).
- Shades: Lows (great impact on performance; they look good on Low).
- Reflexes: Media.
- Atmosphere: Medium (if there is a lot of fog and performance drops, change it to Low).
- Ambient occlusion: Media.
- Tessellation: Medium (going up to High may be detrimental in specific areas).
This set of parameters seeks the better balance between fidelity and sustained FPSBut don't hesitate to experiment: Shadows and Tessellation are powerful levers to recover performance when needed.

In AMD architecture, FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) is the cornerstone for gaining FPS Maintaining good image quality at 1080p, FSR 3.1 adds improvements in reconstruction and latency, and together with Frame Generation (interpolation) achieves a smoothness that is very noticeable on small screens. If you need to measure performance, learn how to... View FPS in games.
Remember that the ROG Ally and Ally X offer Silent, Performance, and Turbo modesSilent mode is perfect for indie or less demanding titles; Performance (15W) balances battery life and smoothness for most AA games; Turbo (30W) is the mode for heavy AAA games. In CPU-intensive games, capping FPS and using sync (like V-Sync at half frequency) can sometimes be a problem. smooths peaks and micro-cuts better than going up a quality level.
And, as ASUS' technical guides point out, The results depend on drivers, software, and whether you play plugged in.Keep your system up to date, adjust the allocated VRAM when a title demands High textures (6 GB or more is a good starting point), and don't be afraid to switch between FSR "Quality/Balanced/Performance" in specific areas.
