Some peple.....

It’s true that you can play FF7 Rebirth at 60 FPS on the Asus Ally…..However this will introduce visual artifacts and latency. The most desire setting is wait for it. 30 FPS or 40 FPS at 720p or 900p. But likewise it is playable at 50 FPS to 60 FPS with sacrifices. Source: I own an Asus Ally X

It's Official: Xbox Has a Full-Blown Identity Crisis

I do not think you highlighted the handheld situation enough: The Asus ROG Xbox Ally non-X (with Z2 A chip) is the weakest of the bunch followed by the Asus ROG non-Xbox Ally non-X (with Z1 non-Extreme chip), but I think they are not worth purchasing or thought at all because the Steam Deck is cheap

Legion Go 2 now costs $2000, twice as much as ROG Xbox Ally X

Just wait a couple weeks. Rog Ally X will also increase. Asus has been pretty good about withstanding price hikes lately but have warned of an increase across the board a few weeks back. Long story short with sad state of gaming and pc hardware is that if you didn’t snag something in the last year y

AMD Throws Loyal Radeon Customers Into The Trash

Microsoft’s First-Party Xbox Handheld “Essentially Canceled,” According to New Report

Great, so now Microsoft will never make an Xbox handheld that would actually appeal to me. If it can't natively play my Xbox console library, then I won't buy it. It's honestly such a dumb decision to cancel the handheld and jump into the already-crowded PC handheld market with an ASUS Rog Ally that

WARNING: Google Repair Illegally Reports Damage to Devices to Avoid Liability

Very similar to what Asus tried to pull in that Gamersnexus' video where they sent an Rog Ally for repairs (it was the joystick iirc). They replied with a picture of a minuscule nick on the shell and tried to charge them for that instead, which wasn't even related to the issue they RMA'd it for. The

Graphics driver updates for Claw A8

I had the ally z1e and that was something that I hated from AMD & ASUS, that drivers could not be directly downloaded from AMD. After buying the 8ai + it was so refreshing that I could download drivers directly from Intel, something AMD needs to do as well.

Rog ally z1e new driver

We really need better communication from Asus. They can’t just release a shitty driver and not say anything about it and then go months without releasing a new one. I’m getting graphics driver updates on my Nvidia card every week and I’ll be lucky to get one that doesn’t completely break everything

Steve of GamersNexus gets blacklisted by AMD - AYY WTF???

Z1 SoC driver support was absolute shit by AMD though. No denying that. As an ASUS ROG Ally owner, they fucked us.
