I'm older, I grew up in the older generation of console's so graphics don't mean anything to me. I am absolutely amazed we are able to play something so well done n made an it's not even in docking mode
ally is preforming better because it uses more power, at 15w the steam deck cooks the ally at 40fps, and if u wanna lock at 30 u can put the wattage even lower on the steam deck, meaning more battery life
Thank you so much! My ROG ally runs helldivers 2 beautifully now! I was so frustrated for a while there because it kept heating up to 95 unless i really lowered the settings to where it looked like crap and even then i was still hitting over 80 at which point my ally would stop charging because of the heat. I bought a cooling fan that attaches to the back and even that doesnt help, plus i looked up youtube videos on how to optimize the ally so i get lower temps than 80 so it wont stop charging and with some games i managed to achieve that but most of them would heat up my ally.
Helldivers 2 runs great on Ally. I do wish it was a tad more optimized. I was able to get a mix of medium and low, at 720p ultra quality getting 42-58fps depending on what’s going on. I turned ambient occlusion and the other screen space thing off.
Loving it on my deck at 45 fps. Typically closer to 30fps but it's a great experience. I have shadows on high and lighting on high too, with volumentrics on medium. Really enjoyable, "quality" render scaling too.
Dude thanks for the video! My pc is stuck at the “establishing connection” screen and can’t play but my ally it works and needed recommended settings! Gonna give it a try tomorrow
Best way to play is max out the graphics and stream it from your gaming pc to your ROG Ally. Lol I been playing non stop. It looks amazing on my gaming pc and just as well sitting on my couch. When your streaming your ROG Ally, runs forever , it uses like 3% and 6% of your gpu and cpu as long as you have good internet in your house. But this game is fun, it reminds me when gears of War first came out.
@kombatant2154 I don't even notice it. I have gigabit internet, but in my gameroom everywhere you go I have wifi6 and multiple extenders , so my gaming pc and arcade machines are all hardwired. I'm not saying there's no latency because we all know there's always some latency and people online flip out crying that theirs too much latency,but that's all crap. I can use my steam deck and ROG Ally streaming from my gaming pc and from xcloud and its amazing. I go from playing on my gaming pc for hours, to my couch 😆 until I get yelled at by my girl.
Yes i bet they are punching the air right now. I love darktide but this for me is the superior product. I love everything warhammer and i really really wish that this was a warhammer game because i love the lore. Beggars can't be choosers and ill take helldivers anyday though.
really wish the ALLY was bigger like around 8 inches tbh. Its one of the main reasons why i got the Legion Go instead but its crazy to see how this game performs on the ALLY
It's already way too big. It gets a lot of attention on flights or trains when I use it in outside. I wish it was more understated. But it's still a hell of a device and works amazingly well.
@@vikram5491 if you think so lol but to me it's not big at all. I got big hands so that's why the legion go is far better for me. Had the Ally been bigger I would of gotten that for sure though.
Just a tips for you turn off the CPU boost. It does nothing for gaming but just cooking up the temp. If you turn cpu boost off you will have bellw 70 degree at 30watts. (Custom fan curve)
I think the temp problems with the rog ally might be the touch screen as I didn't even go into a game my cpu temp was down but the screen was Hot like really hot
Games that work perfectly:(that I have tried) COD mw3 Cod b06 Palworld World war z Forza horizon 5 Helldivers 2 Tom clancys ghost recon Halo infinite War thunder Starfield Sea of thieves Diablo The finals Bf2042 Overwatch Doom eternal And every single game I have tried
Try turning off cpu boost or going into power profiles and set max cpu to 99% instead of 100% and I never hit even 78c with boost off and about 84-86c with it on and 99% set. Makes a world of difference on the ally. Most games are fine with boost off but a few games like cyberpunk can really use the extra boost.
It's 40-120 hz for vrr. If you can't make it to 40 then it's best to lock it at 30 fps and it'll use Low FramRate compensation and make it feel smoother
@gman3563 Unfortunately, it's 48, not 40 on the Ally, I looked it up before posting. VRR window on the ally is 48 to 120. But I agree with you that if the framerate isn't stable enough (almost locked at 40, cause it's 1/3 of 120 and at that looks and feels smooth), it's better to lock at 30.
This^. The Deck would run this at 20fps which is unplayable. Even 30 is on the rough side but still playable. But you can plug it in or use a power bank and get around 60fps with the Ally, not possible on the Deck
If you go to armoury crate, then settings at the top next to game library, then click operating mode, then all the way to the right youll see the manual setting. there you save different manual profiles and adjust tdp and such
Few questions well first fantastic video, I want to pick it up now lol I have a ps5 and a good pc to run this. Leaning towards the PS5 but lets say I go that route, will I have to pay any subscription to play this game? IE playstations version of xbox live or whatevers that's called. Thanks!
did you try 900p with Anti aliasing ? (and medium settings) I run all my games in 900p + RIS + 120 Hz the most amazing and well optimized game I watched is assassin's creed odyssey run near ultra settings between 35 and 50 fps ! and even in 900p, aliasing is barely visible and with RIS everything is crystal clear !!
Great video! So in this game, does everyone play at the same time to help each other out on each planet? thinking of this coppin this game. looks good.
You play in 1-4 man squads. The whole playerbase can be deployed to 1 planet but you will only see the other 3 people in your squad, no one else can affect your mission.
i bought helldivers 1 because i thought helldivers 2 would be too much for the ally.but i guess i should save money again to buy this game. since it looks playable, anyone should also try playing this game with lossless scaling app
Also, look that your GPU clock is way down and you're CPU limited. You can increase the graphics quality, maybe go down to 900p and use RSR to upscale to 1080p and have a better graphics, maybe with higher FPS whe you become GPU bound.
@@chrisbrown113096 No revision it's just a lot of ppl go out and buy the non extreme model and get mad they can't get the same performance so he's letting ppl know which model he's using . But the rog ally 2 is coming out later this year .
Legion go is bigger and better, it’s 1600p instead of 1080p, huge difference, my friend has an ROG ally and it’s amazing but the Lenovo legion go is a little better
I think it will, but u gotta compromise on the settings. I play it on the steamdeck LCD and it works fine. Just sometimes when there is a crazy amount of action and enemies it drops to 20 fps but runs at around 30 on the regular.
have you been able to get gyro working? i know it's on because if i lock the ally with the game running, the mouse moves on the login screen, so it's gotta be an in game setting
Good video, can you give me the settings you used on the ally, on mines it looks a lot worse and graphics don’t look nothing like yours. So if you possible i would appreciate if you help me out with the graphic settings just like you have it . Thanks

Well is here future of gaming in are finger tips is here image go back in time in 1980S with thing thing what would people react
This game is cooking my Steam Deck OLED in the harder difficulties. Crazy to see how well this performs on the Ally.
Duh rog ally is more powerful so it’s better
Saying duh is rude I'm pretty sure you've not always understood everything at first
@@liamseekins9488 you right am sorry
saying sorry in a comment section is crazy@@AmvCrazyimvu
ally is preforming better because it uses more power, at 15w the steam deck cooks the ally at 40fps, and if u wanna lock at 30 u can put the wattage even lower on the steam deck, meaning more battery life
Loving this game on the Ally. Shocked how well it runs. Thanks for the tips.
Is the Rog Ally worth buying?
@@kingcorey8438Yes!
@@kingcorey8438hell yeah
Yes, it's worth it. Knowing you know what you're getting into.
@@kingcorey8438yes but be aware of the self card port problem
This is where VRR shines. Same game on legion go would show stuttering in background.
Bingo. Someone who gets it haha

Thanks! switched to your settings except the wattage limitation and was getting low 40fps and it was very playable.
Would 25W work and keep temps sub 90 or max 90 degrees?
Helldivers 2 runs great on Ally. I do wish it was a tad more optimized. I was able to get a mix of medium and low, at 720p ultra quality getting 42-58fps depending on what’s going on. I turned ambient occlusion and the other screen space thing off.
I'm getting 10 fps on the z1 standard chip
@@kyleg7296 holy crap, is the standard one really so much less powerfull?

It runs amazing on the Ally, I was a bit skeptical when I bought it since helldivers gets crazy but no issues at all so far.
Dude thanks for the video! My pc is stuck at the “establishing connection” screen and can’t play but my ally it works and needed recommended settings! Gonna give it a try tomorrow
Thanks I bought this thing because of this video. These settings are sick. Can't believe I'm hell diving on a bug Gameboy haha
Would maybe recommend turning the resolution down to 900p. Not a very noticeable quality difference and might boost frames closer to that 60 fps mark

Yeah but then you need a gaming PC. I sold my gaming PC to GET THE ROG. So I guess I need both. Good idea though, very good idea...

Up your fan speed . Using manual Mode to keep your cpu and gpu cold
Dont be afraid to kick up the juice especially if you have it plugged in the 30w is worth being stationary

Same settings but … 720p Quality, RIS enabled, 18w, VRAM set to auto. Great fps. Mid 40’s
I think the temp problems with the rog ally might be the touch screen as I didn't even go into a game my cpu temp was down but the screen was Hot like really hot
Maybe it's a similar thing to lego star wars where you have to disable the touch screen
installing the amd test driver with fluid motion frames 2 and helldivers makes it go 100Fps
I’m a pc supremacist but for the first time in my life that i’m considering buying a console handled device😮
go buy handheld device bro, it was a amazing, kind of different experience to play AAA game in your hand, even just play at home
Its basically a handheld pc lol
In low quality graphs the game looks amazing too. I play around 50fps and 22w
try bringing down the graphics to 1600 x 900. it will probably run easier and no so hot
How does the ally handle multiplayer chaos?
Games that work perfectly:(that I have tried)
COD mw3
Cod b06
Palworld
World war z
Forza horizon 5
Helldivers 2
Tom clancys ghost recon
Halo infinite
War thunder
Starfield
Sea of thieves
Diablo
The finals
Bf2042
Overwatch
Doom eternal
And every single game I have tried
Why not have it plugged into a dock with fans so you can keep frame rates up.
Then might as well have a pc right?
most dock with fans pulls air from the ally, suffocating the ally's intake
Crazy the PS5 controller has haptic feedback on the triggers in a PC game. I might have to get a PS5 controller just for that.
You need to RMA the Ally. It runs cooler and the joysticks feel stiffer. I can run this on turbo and hit 76C
I honestly thought this was Seth Rogen reviewing the ally ..
Try turning off cpu boost or going into power profiles and set max cpu to 99% instead of 100% and I never hit even 78c with boost off and about 84-86c with it on and 99% set. Makes a world of difference on the ally. Most games are fine with boost off but a few games like cyberpunk can really use the extra boost.
I want to know which of these game consoles is the best. I'm wanting to buy some to use.😊
I keep mine at locked 30 fps with 25 watts & fans at 80%. Stays at 65c or below consistently
How long you have on a single charge ?
@@EstaDePiPi about 80 minutes b4 it hits 5% on hell divers. & about 2 hrs on ps2 emulation at 1080p 60 maxed out
you don't need 1080 on a 7 inch screen.
If you get it above at least to 48 fps, you can benefit from the vrr display... way smoother.
It's 40-120 hz for vrr. If you can't make it to 40 then it's best to lock it at 30 fps and it'll use Low FramRate compensation and make it feel smoother

What’s the benefits of having the steam deck over something like this besides the price ?
Honestly for me the Ally wins in almost every aspect besides battery life. You want more frames it's gonna cost you in the battery department.
This^. The Deck would run this at 20fps which is unplayable. Even 30 is on the rough side but still playable. But you can plug it in or use a power bank and get around 60fps with the Ally, not possible on the Deck
dude with a screen that size 720p is still ok
Can you do a video on how you made your custom 20w TDP or comment how you did it? Thank you great video
If you go to armoury crate, then settings at the top next to game library, then click operating mode, then all the way to the right youll see the manual setting. there you save different manual profiles and adjust tdp and such

yes. you need psplus subscription $10/month or $80/year
Yep he is correct. Pc however is no subscription. Just internet!
What's your ally case? is it jasux
How does it perform when you plat with others
did you try 900p with Anti aliasing ? (and medium settings)
I run all my games in 900p + RIS + 120 Hz
the most amazing and well optimized game I watched is assassin's creed odyssey run near ultra settings between 35 and 50 fps ! and even in 900p, aliasing is barely visible and with RIS everything is crystal clear !!
better stability than my high-end pc config.
no one care bout pc optimization, so sad.
Soon as Cross Save works I'll buy on Steam also
Game of the year so far!
if i play on the handheld alone, how to use the map, bescore the socald tap, ore ps5 tuch pad is noexsisting please help
Guys, which is the best handheld to play Helldivers 2? ROG Ally or Aya Neo S1?
Dang I got the normal z1 I wonder if it’s playable
I would certainly go down to 720 and medium.
Bro which gaming console is best?
Asus be like: hold my Rog Ally X
dude turn your fan curve up at 30 watt i can keep it well into the 80s not the best yea but useable and it is safe
Quick question where is the tab button on the Ally?
This game is real heavy on the CPU, how well does it hold up in higher difficulties with much larger hoard and 3 other players?
What case are you using
66 degree? are you in arctic region?
Is this stop drop retro?!?!?!?!?!? You have a diff channel where you upload consistently?!
Haha nope! This is my only channel. I do sound a lot like other channels but i'm the only me'
Is this z1 or z1 extreme?
Great video! So in this game, does everyone play at the same time to help each other out on each planet? thinking of this coppin this game. looks good.
Yep but you can play solo but not nearly as fun. I've been playing with randos and having a blast.
You play in 1-4 man squads. The whole playerbase can be deployed to 1 planet but you will only see the other 3 people in your squad, no one else can affect your mission.
with fsr 3 will be a bomb
everything just looks so blue on the rog ally display
U can set the temperature in Armory crate, it's not the display it's just the default presets are all more set to blue instead of red
@@kewa_design good to know
How do you make it?
I might've missed it, does this one have the Z1 or Z1 extreme processor?
Extreme!

How is it running on there well? It runs pretty bad on my Ally
Does it recognise automactlly the joyysticks that come in the ally ?? Or do i have to install another app to program bottuns?
it will automatically use the joysticks!
@@gamersdigester thanks, great video
How is the gameplay this smooth considering its floating between 45 to 37 fps. Anything on my ally below 60fps is horrible
How does It work? Does the rog ally have an inside store for games?? 😊
Internet.
Does yours ever crash at the return to ship screen after a mission? Other than that it’s an absolute dream on Ally
For on the go it's so perfect. I take it to work and spread democracy on my breaks lol
Haptic feedback works with Bluetooth? Or are you using softwares like dsx
it does work with bluetooth!!!
Please test with lossless scaling
Have some good headroom with the FPS. Have you considered locking to 30FPS for a more stable experience?
No need, it's got VRR
Did you have issues loading it on your ally? I keep getting a black screen nothing else
Please tell me where you got that case??
I am using the case that JSAUX makes. Highly recommend this company they always make high quality cases. Not sponsored I really do like them haha
@@gamersdigesterThe case looks soooo much better in black though. I have both and a purple Skull Co case.
Its not a test unless you run multiplayer
On the custom 20w setting did you change the gpu settings and fans???
nope! Just changed the wattage!
Trying out different settings on OneXplayer 2 pro without the egpu. Gonna have to mess around with the wattage.
Bruh your only at 20watts is this a z1 extreme? Test it at 30watts
Native or streaming?

This game is not well optimised yet. If games like Avatar can get to 60 fps using fsr 3 this game needs more work.

Legion go is bigger and better, it’s 1600p instead of 1080p, huge difference, my friend has an ROG ally and it’s amazing but the Lenovo legion go is a little better
Do you think the non-extreme can handle it?
I think it will, but u gotta compromise on the settings. I play it on the steamdeck LCD and it works fine. Just sometimes when there is a crazy amount of action and enemies it drops to 20 fps but runs at around 30 on the regular.

Works alot better on the Legion Go.

Graphic wise, i would consider going for the PS5
