Finally found the sweet spot!

Finally found the sweet spot!

I loved my Steam Deck OLED, but I wanted something with a bit more power. I sold it and initially grabbed a used Legion Go 2 Z2E model.

While that screen was brill and something I was used to, the size and weight were just too much for me to stick with long-term.

That led me to the Xbox ROG Ally X. I was honestly worried the screen would feel like a huge downgrade from the Deck's/Legion 2 OLED, but l've been very impressed so far!

I don't miss OLED nearly as much as I thought I would.
Since I'm used to the Switch/2, the Ally X feels right at home in terms of form factor.

I also prefer Windows over SteamOS. I've run into too many Proton quirks in the past, and I play a lot of anti-cheat games, so having native Windows support is a massive win for me.

Still finishing up my setup, but I'm very excited to dive in properly and play things like COD and Forza.

Anyone else make a similar jump?
Just wanted to drop some praise for this handheld basically lol!😊

ROG Xbox Ally X performance at 3440×1440 ultrawide

I’m considering upgrading from my Steam Deck LCD to the ROG Xbox Ally X. I mainly play handheld, but when I’m home I’d like to dock it to my 3440×1440 ultrawide OLED monitor.

For anyone who has used the Ally X with an ultrawide, what kind of performance are you getting in demanding AAA games?

Has anyone upgraded from Ally X to XAX and felt it was worth it?

Just curious. I’ve been looking at maybe getting the XAX for the quality of life improvements, but it’s definitely a lot of money for a seemingly minor bump in performance. The battery on my OG Ally X also doesn’t seem to be holding up that well.

Elden ring on Xbox Ally x

I cannot make my xbox ally x run Elden ring above 30 fps resting, and 15-20 fps fighting anything. I have read some posts to optimize performance to play it but nothing gets the job done.

I played in turbo mode with charger connected, tried some of AMD resources on and off, even tried to debloat windows 11 to make it run better but nothing can make it run. There some tip that im missing or any guides specifically for Elden Ring?

SteamOS and Rog Ally XBOX

Hey everyone, just got my rog ally xbox and would like some help. I saw some reviews saying that he works better with steamOS. Besides that, I’m also more familiar with steam than xbox interface, so I’m thinking about doing a dual boot.

Has anyone ever done this? Any opinions? Suggestions? I’m not a pro with tech stuff but there’s nothing some yt videos and AI can’t help me

I can already feel the pain with the set up process

But it's thanking me for my patience at least now 😂

Nearly sold it, decided to give it a go, should be good to learn off being new into the PC world, want to get a hectic laptop eventually 🔥💯

Need help with advice on purchasing an eGPU for my Asus ROG Xbox Ally X.

Looking to buy an eGPU for my Asus Rog Xbox Ally X and was thinking of purchasing the Asus XG mobile 5070ti or the 5090 but the prices everywhere from amazon to Best buy are either ridiculously overpriced or completely out of stock. I know that people here are all but unanimous with not recommending to use Asus ROG's official website, as they apparently have highly questionable customer service and quality assurance, but at least their prices are the same as they were at lunch msrp even if that's already a bit costly. I just can't see myself spending upwards of $3,700 for something that is already overpriced and available from the official retailer at &2500. Does anyone have any advice from personal experience?

Does anyone think the prices will come down now that more of these units are available for purchase?

ROG Xbox Ally vs ROG Ally

I'm new and have never owned a handheld PC and was thinking about getting one. Ultimately, I don't know whether to choose between ROG Xbox Ally or ROG Ally.I don't know whether to choose battery life or power.I play a bit of all games: from heavy games like elden ring or expedition 33 to lighter games like hollow knight or the binding of Isaac.I wanted to know if Xbox ally gives a good experience with all games? Which is better between the two ASUS ROG?

Thank you

For ROG Xbox Ally Z2A (White) users, which OS do you use: Windows 11 or SteamOS? I saw some comparisons where games on SteamOS managed around 3-5 more FPS. In practice, does this also happen with you?

For those who use SteamOS, how was the process of removing Windows? Is it easy to install SteamOS Beta? If by any chance you want to go back to W11 again, is it still possible?

The Sinking City 2 Performance Review on Xbox Ally X

Hello everyone,

This is my small gameplay clip of The Sinking City 2 on Xbox Ally x

I want to know did anyone else tried this game in Xbox Ally X and how's the performance for them?

For me even at lowest settings(720p resolution) the game is not hitting 60fps, max it will 50fps without doing anything in the game

With combat it drops fps to 30fps

And running or exploring 36-39fps

This is all at lowest settings

There is no AMD FSR upscaling for now, so maybe that could improve some performance in the game.

But for now it's not looking good to play this on Xbox Ally X.

Drop your thoughts and let me know if you have any ideas for get stable 60fps.

Thanks
