Thank You! Eye opener video! Got ROG Ally and I found after Your video one upgrade - drastic change in RSR Sharpness over AMD setting can get amazing results in games between 20 and 60 points - in some games You can make it as sharp as native 1080p... Wreckfest, RE4/Village. Give a video comparing with 30 and 75 sharpness... I played Quarry 720pRSR1080p max settings - better quality than lol PS5/Series X with sharpness on 75 and damn it looked native. imagine ROG is RDNA3.0 so damn we will get NATIVE next generation RSR shortly. I play at 8GB VRAM setting as I set virtual RAM to 32GB.
RSR for me has done so much good SF6, Path of Exile, they look amazing and you have the good fps of 720p For me its either RSR if the game allows and there is no FSR 2.0 + or FSR 2.0 & RIS on 1080p. So huge difference on RE4 remake
not using RSR. if FSR is supported its my first choice, otherwise i just lower down settings in 1080p. i see a difference with RSR and would use it.... BUT to bothersome to turn it on the Ally.
It’s in the quick settings now, the left start button thingy, i would use it for 720p games if i were you and see if there is a noticeable difference, if not then don’t use it
I'm using a program called MSI Afterburner. I spent a lot of time so it looks like it's part of the Armoury Crate one, but it's actually a separate window underneath. If you search MSI Afterburner FPS overlay, you'll find a lot of tutorials. I'd find one you like, then just copy how they do it. Lot's of ways to set it up how you like it :)
@@filt3rless oh wow from the way you have it set up I really did think it was part of Armoury Crate. I was going crazy wondering why I couldn’t find it anywhere in the settings or anything about how to turn it on online. Thanks for your reply though. I’ll look into Afterburner.
I think RSR is also pretty good. Especially at 900p, I've noticed it does look more "natural". And I see why people use it. You can't go wrong with either and it's definitely more personal preference. When using RSR, if you play games that are bordered full screen, you'll want to adjust the desktop resolution to 1600x900 so you can use RSR in those games like Diablo 4.
Honestly, I rather run my games in native 1080p unless frame rate is an issue. Even it means to sacrifice some settings to a medium or low on some things like global illumination etc. Things just look better than RSR in majority of the games. Take Street fighter for example. I maxed out on render resolution to 5 and lowered some settings like lightings to normal instead of high and still able to run the game near 60fps with everything on.
That's how I run them as well. RSR is a headache. Have you tried RIS (Radeon Image Sharpening)? It's awesome and works at 1080p. I'm planning to do a guide on it to showcase the differences sometime soon.
I’ve never used or paid attention to the sharpness it does to games on the Ally. Bruh, I’m loving this gaming experience in another level with the RIS enable. Some games I wish that the sharpness would be stronger, this RIS is the solution. Thank you.
Would be curious to see 720p rsr vs 720p rsi. Have you compared the 2 side by side? If so which do you think looks better between the 2. I am currently using 720p with rsi enabled but may try 720p with rsr as these results look pretty good. Do you recommend rsr over rsi?
I've been using RIS because I usually run 1080p in most games. RSR only works at 720p. I have not directly compared them yet, but that is something I'm interested in comparing in the near future. At 720p I'd say RSR will beat RIS. However, I need to run RIS tests which I haven't done yet :)
@@VizioN-Scope I agree! After running this, I ended up running RIS and made a whole video about it. It's awesome :) th-cam.com/video/at6RXXjpfB4/w-d-xo.html
RSR takes 720p and upscales it to 1080p. However you're still going to loose finer details than you would get at 1080p. I actually prefer RIS over RSR. I have a guide on RIS here: th-cam.com/video/at6RXXjpfB4/w-d-xo.html
It really depends on the game. Something like Starfield doesn't like RSR and has a huge performance hit. So FSR in that game works better at 900p. I mostly run 900p with RIS so I don't get a performance hit. You can do 720p RSR, but the performance results will vary from game to game. On RIS it's consistent since there is no performance hit.
Awesome content bro! Thank you so much for your hard work and educating us for a better experience or better performance! Keep the videos coming my good sir.
This is actually great content! One thing I'm curious about though, is what does it look like on the display itself? Does the 1080p panel scaling have any significant impacts?
It looks great on the Ally display itself. I've recently been using 900p with RSR (Radeon Super Resolution) and it looks awesome. I have a video about 900p here: th-cam.com/video/HuMr8_BXSVA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=SCT0vI8ClPVniQcS The main reason for 900p with RSR (or even RIS) is saving battery. And 900p is a nice middle ground where you can keep visual quality, but still run a lot of stuff at 17 watts or so.
VSR scales the image past the native resolution, ex: 1440p on the 1080p display. I definitely don't recommend using that. There can be some clarity benefits, but you'd want to use it on a much higher end system, and even then I've never liked nor used it. Native resolution with RIS (Radeon Image Sharpening) works great.
Not a problem :). Also check out the RIS (Radeon Image Sharpening) video I did: th-cam.com/video/at6RXXjpfB4/w-d-xo.html. I prefer it to RSR for a few reasons. However both options are an improvement :)
@@filt3rless don't take my comment too seriously. Anyways it's a really nice video! I gave you a thumbs up and hope it helps a bit. This was really helpful to me! 😊 I have a Steam Deck and I'm considering buying a Rog Ally right now.
@@moskbarto9436 Thanks :). On the ROG Ally, if you have a BestBuy, I'd buy it there. Then you can test it out and if you don't like it, or run into issues, you can return it. If you get one that works properly it's awesome, but the quality control I think is below the Steam Deck. I'm on my 3rd ROG Ally... 😅
@@filt3rless how come? Bad luck or is the Ally prone to failure? I'm from Germany so no best buy for me. But of course we there are electronics stores. I haven't seen a Rog Ally there though. 😆 I just ordered one and if I don't like it I can return it no problem. I kinda like the Deck but I'm tired of tinkering all the time to make games run. And some games (like Yakuza 5) do work but they suffer from weird glitches like playing the wrong audio files during cutscenes 😆
@@moskbarto9436 I tend to have bad luck with electronics 🤣. But, that led me to finding issues and warning others about them. I think you'll like the Ally for sure.

Another great tool available to us but for all AMD graphics owners. One thing this video can't show is the game "feels" like it's running at it's native resolution.
I remember when crysis was the ultimate benchmark for high end pc’s. Now it’s used as a benchmark on a handheld. Wild times we live in.
Almost 20 years ago… 🥲
I’m using 720p (RSR) to 1080p on ROG Ally and playing Dark Souls: Remastered. It’s performing amazing at 15w performance mode.
Karl what are you doing here???? I love your videos btw.
Nice work man !!! I really like your content 👌interesting, straight to the point, well detailed. 10/10
Thanks that means a lot! :)
I agree. This is all really good stuff, answering many questions I have.
Great videos ! I’m glad you decided to get another ally
Graphics Settings:
Bioshock Infinite: Ultra
Crysis: High

Narrrr bro i choose 1080p over 720pRSR
It will be fine with -10% fps trade off
You can probably reduce the jagged edges by reducing image sharpening
RSR is set to what % ? It’s a very important info and i’m not sure you tell it in the video.
Hey, just the default 75%. I'd say play around with the setting though and see what you like best :)
How do do enable frame data in the real time info display on the Ally?

RSR for me just makes sense on 720P or 900P

You can't go wrong with either and it's definitely more personal preference.

couldnt help but notice the RDR2 runs were all being ran at different wattages... 25, 18, and 15 respectively. May account for your stutters.

Could you give a configuration that allows me to activate RSR in RCSP3 to emulate games?

@@filt3rless I tested RIS vs RSR at 1080p on FarCry 6 and RIS looked better and had more clarity in the picture. I have my RIS 40%.

Man, dont you think that a good screen with 720p for this portable isnt better?
The only thing i hate about RSR is that you can't cap the frapes to conserve battery.
should have enabled fxx or msaa 2x/4x on gta 5, old games tends to be jaggy a lot
Is 720p asr is1080P with rsr on (render 720p) or 720P with rsr on (render lower than 720p) ?
RSR takes 720p and upscales it to 1080p. However you're still going to loose finer details than you would get at 1080p. I actually prefer RIS over RSR. I have a guide on RIS here: th-cam.com/video/at6RXXjpfB4/w-d-xo.html
Id be interested in this but adding 1080p 75% render resolution
is rsr really that great very great like 1080p?
what would be the difference between 720p rsr vs 900p ? Wouldn't 720p rsr get more frames than 900p, for practically the same visual result?
It really depends on the game. Something like Starfield doesn't like RSR and has a huge performance hit. So FSR in that game works better at 900p.

for the most part RSR will look worse than using FSR.

Could you do call of duty DMZ please
The best setting ive found is fsr with ris at max. You get the clarity and the performance.
I agree, FSR with RIS makes it look superb with great performance 👍. I have a video called "RIS = Supreme" where I cover how good RIS is.
Thanks for all the great videos bro!
have you tried virtual super resolution? been testing this have not seen any difference
VSR scales the image past the native resolution, ex: 1440p on the 1080p display. I definitely don't recommend using that.
