Hey everyone,

I'm about to start a fresh Genshin account and I'm stuck deciding between the EU and NA servers.

I speak Portuguese and English. Ping-wise, EU is clearly better for me (~55ms vs ~100-110ms on NA), but from what I've seen EU chat/co-op is mostly Russian speakers, with not many English or Portuguese players around. NA seems to have a much bigger mix of English/Portuguese speakers, just at a noticeably worse ping for me.

A few things I'd love input on:

1. How much does the extra ~50ms actually matter in Genshin? It's not a fast-paced shooter, so I'm wondering if it's even noticeable outside of co-op domains/abyss.
2. Which server actually has more active players overall? I know you sometimes need to hop into other people's worlds to farm materials (ley line outcroppings, local specialties, etc.) when your own world's stuff is on cooldown — so a more populated server would help avoid long waits.
3. If you're on EU or NA and speak English/Portuguese, what's your experience been like finding co-op partners or an active community?
4. I've also heard EU gets events/banners earlier than other servers due to server reset times — does this actually make a noticeable difference in practice, or is it just a few hours that doesn't really matter?

Any input from people who've actually played on both (or switched) would be super helpful. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I'm about to pull the trigger on a ROG Xbox Ally X and want a reality check before I do. I don't need max settings — I'm fine with Low presets, upscaling (FSR/XeSS) and mods — I just want a stable 50-60fps+ experience without stutters.

Games I'd be playing:

Hogwarts Legacy

Persona 3 Reload, Persona 5 Royal & Strikers

The Witcher 1, 2 & 3

Cyberpunk 2077

GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition (SA, Vice City, 3)

PS2 emulation (RPCS3/PCSX2) — mainly God of War 1 & 2

God of War Ragnarök

Minecraft

Final Fantasy (mainly VII Remake/Rebirth if it counts, and older ones)

Spider-Man (PS titles)

A few questions:

Realistically, which of these hit 50-60fps+ at Low/upscaled settings on the Ally X?

If I lower the internal resolution to boost fps, does it introduce a lot of visible jaggies/aliasing on the 7" screen, or is it not really noticeable at that size?

Any settings/tools (Armoury Crate profiles, FSR, Lossless Scaling, etc.) you'd recommend for hitting that fps target consistently?

If lowering the resolution does cause jaggies, is there a way to clean that up (sharpening, AA options, upscaling tricks, etc.) without tanking the fps I just gained?

Appreciate any real-world experience — benchmarks are nice but I care more about how it actually feels to play.
