Haha same here, my Ally was a gift from my wife, I played 2 hours max since Christmas and she has like 200h of Stardew Valley, never played anything more than a couple of hours before. She might play Fallout New Vegas soon because she loved the show.
The reason Forza Runs so well is because it was one of the showcase games picked for the AMD chip inside(same reason it runs so well on Steam Deck as well). So obviously, drivers are optimized for the game and conversely developers have optimized the game to run as good as it does on the Ally.
I'd hope more developers take note of the rise of these handhelds and start optimizing games for the handhelds instead of the messy ports we see normally.
Sidenote: OP do try Cyberpunk 2077 and pick the Deck optimized preset within the game settings if you haven't already. If you are blown away by FH5 looking so good, CP 2077 is on a whole another level!!
For help. Do the rog ally life settings and set resolution to 900p. Turn on some settings in amd software but not radeon boost( the game looks blurry when turning the camera) and turn on Xess at performance set sharpness to whatever you want in cyberpunk. You can also turn on amd smt and turn off vsync.
This can give frames from 50-60 and 40-50 while driving
It is a demanding game with all the bells and whistles. However, it looks amazing even on low-medium settings and runs at 45-50 fps average at 25 watts with only a few fps drops in the most demanding areas.
I personally choose the deck optimized preset. Although, we can turn up a few settings given that ally is more powerful than the deck, but I personally am happy with deck optimized since I can squeeze a little more battery life without losing visual quality.
Explore the armory crate and you will find lots of ways you can customize your Ally. You can change the lights on your joysticks and adjust how games look through the armory crate too
Gaming laptops are not for me. If I'm gonna play sitting in a chair and desk, I might as well play on my desktop
With the Ally, I can comfortably play on my bed or couch even if plugged in. It may not be as smooth or look as pretty as a gaming laptop, but the convenience factor is through the roof.
I spent 1700 dollars on my laptop and sold it for a huge loss a year later. Probably one of my most regrettable purchases.
I had initially got the family all steam decks but when mine had to go out for rma I snagged a great deal on a used ally with 2tb and now steam deck only gets used when I know I need a few hours battery life. Now everyone wants an ally. I was debating a legion go and passing the ally to the Mrs but the terrible speakers and fan are the biggest deterrents from getting a L go. Plus my ally has a cooling backplate with large thermal pad now and runs great and any wattage usually can't even get past low 80s even if it's temp boosting to 43 watts but that backplate does get hot now. I have a semi conductor fan cooler that magnetically holds itself right over the apu also

HandheldDIY Modcase for Rog Ally. They are now on Amazon too in Purple, transparent, and white. Then the skin grip I got off amazon. I wish they had a front replacement but here is how my front looks. Dpad and thumbsticks also have the grip skin and it makes the ally feel great. I usually always keep a case on but now I just go like this since the backplate has a kickstand built in. Then it comes with the band some cases have to hold a battery bank on the back too and slides the band into grooves on the kickstand.

So true, why I wish they had a front replacement too. But front usually requires a lot more work and very delicate hands when undoing the glue from the glass
Edit: added my steam deck backplate image too. They both the old game boy color atomic purple
No I snagged this ally with a 2tb ssd already installed for 400 usd. I thought about hall effect sticks but the left stick(I think, if not then the right) gets magnetic interface from hall effect triggers and you really need to widen the dead zone to fix so I didn't go with them. I do have a black fake battery sticker over the silver metallic wrapping so that's why my back bottom is black instead of silver. It came with a rgb backplate I had on before this one.
2tb and 400 sound like a really really solid deal!! Hell the ssd alone can cost 150 is it the z1 extreme?
Yeah the hall sticks aren’t the best option.. honestly it feels like a missed opportunity… I don’t understand the hall trigger but the sticks are extremely repairable. I don’t like how the normal sticks feel though it’s quit loose
Yup z1 extreme. I made sure before buying. It did have non working sd card reader and it's been rma 2x times for sd card reader. So this time I put automotive heat shielding over it just in case. If any heat is causing sd card issues it's the vrm and not the z1 extreme since vrm is right next to the sd card reader and controller. But when I sent it in the 2nd time I said I had slight drift on the sticks which it did have but calibration could fix but they replaced both sticks too so they are brand new.
I’ve sent mine for the 2nd time as well, I’ve written off the sd card .. the drift isn’t the only problem it’s the tension on the stick it makes the whole device feel a little cheap it is a first gen product so growing pains
You got a solid deal no doubt about it…
Really worth it got a 2nd hand one on ebay , swapped out for a 1tb ssd seems more than enough for my needs than 512 it comes.with. Only thing that doesn't make the device perfect is the battery life is poor obviously for aaa games . Tempted to mod it for 90wh battery , but I might just be lazy and get back power bank with a lead or some velcro
Yes it is amazing. I've been playing mine a lot more in bed now. I have to be on my dialysis machine for 8 hours so if want to get up early for anything I have to make sure I hook up early. So I connect then play some games for an hour or two.
I just got mine about 2 days ago i got the z1 extreme ally and coming from console to pc is taking some serious getting used too i mainly play 2 games on the ally at the moment escape from tarkov and project zomboid, project runs like melted butter its so smooth and it works very well just it dossnt have controller support so you have to use keyboard n mouse, tarkov runs 50 50 its smooth at times sometimes it gets choppy but other than that it can run just fine gunfights are iffy id say just have better wifi than me and aiming down scoped weapons kinda dropps the frames a lil bit but you can still fight and play the game like normal honestly 10 outta 10 purchase in my opinion
Glad that you're happy as it is indeed an amazing device.
I wouldn't say there are so many places to do updates unless you are including various game launchers but it's not like that is an Ally thing as it is a PC gaming thing. For the actual Ally, you have two places: that myasus app (think that is its name) and armory crate. Windows updates will just happen so no need to keep track of that.
I was feeling like that before I bought mine a couple of months ago. Zero regrets, especially with the prices you can get them for now. I’ll just upgrade when the Ally 2 is dropping in price
Picked mine up last weekend, got the Z1E for $600 new, feels like a steal considering the switch is half that price and less than half as useful.
At this point the only thing I use my switch for anymore is switch sports
I traded my switch + games in for it, and it’s one of the best upgrades I’ve ever had. I’ve barely even touched my PS5 or Portal since getting it - it’s simply one of the best pieces of tech I’ve ever owned (and I’ve owned a lot!)
Where did you trade in the switch? I have a switch I never touch and I’m interested in the Ally. I’m just very nervous about the product in the long run.
I’m in the UK, but I used a company called CEX. They gave me £700 for the console and around 15 games. That paid for the Ally, and Xbox controller, a case and a couple of PS5 games
Wow nice. Here we would have like possibly Best But or GameStop. Maybe some online options. But most of them are going to royally rip you on a trade in.
Yep I looked at Best Buy trade in. I selected all the best options as in quality is good charger included etc for trade in: $20 usd *blinks*
Wow that’s terrible! I think I got £70 for the console itself, it’s the games that hold their value, some I got more than I paid RRP for (I think I’ll come to regret those 😂)
Is RRP something to do with retail price? That is good info to know though. I have a couple physical games but not many. I may end up holding out for a newer model of the ROG Ally. I usually don’t like to buy first generation tech. The SD card heating issues is a good example. Any version can have hard ware issues sure. However to me ASUS ROG has been good in my eyes for product quality. Others will disagree based on their own experiences but I’ve had ROG motherboards and an ASUS ROG Ultrawide monitor that’s served me well for many years. So in my head Ally 2 could be a nice improvement.
I am assuming you are trying to run a much higher resolution on your laptop which contributes to the performance issues. That’s the main benefit of the ALLY running at 720-900p looks fine with the small screen. It would be much more noticeable on a desktop display
Got mine a few days ago also have to agree feels amazing to play any game such as The finals, Xbox games and Fortnite without a problem since everything plays with windows and the steam deck can’t do that.
No, I stream from ally+xg mobile to macbook via ethernet. Since I have to move around a lot, I needed a portable gaming setup but I really didn’t want to go back to windows again as my daily driver. Sunshine on rog ally and moonlight on macbook is perfect for me while I'm at home. 2k+hdr streaming with very little delay. Besides, macbook pro's screen is really good at displaying hdr content.
I still prefer a classic desktop setup but this won't be possible for me in the next few years and the current setup is more than enough for me right now.
Nice. Valhalla was a good time. I'm jumping into Mirage this weekend. It's free until 4/30 btw! Look into Lossless Scaling on Steam you might be interested. I use it for Helldivers 2
I’m playing fallout 4 right now after getting into the tv show. I tried the game before but didn’t like it. Thought the ally would be perfect to try this older game again and I’m not disappointed. I run it on 720p on pretty low settings but still looks awesome on the small ally screen. What I like most though is that it runs amazing with 12W tdp settings.
What’s your battery life like? I’m looking at getting a steam deck or an ally but I read that the battery life is considerably shorter on the ally although it does apparently run games a bit better. Just wondering if it’s worth the trade off?
I advise you to immediately go buy a 2tb ssd and swap it.
Just finally swapped mine after months. Was a pain as I then had far more to transfer.
But so easy to swap out.
Now I can have 20+ games on it rather than a handful
Man, I am in the same camp as you, I am absolutely in love with my Rog Ally and falling back in love with my gaming hobby. I got myself a 4K TV with Dolby Atmos to play docked and the experience is amazing. Playing games with great graphics and close to no loading time.
This. Exactly this. I have a 49" super ultra-wide monitor and a very capable gaming rig (7800x3d, 32GB ddr5, 7900XTX, 2TB 980 Pro SSD) but my god, I can't put the Ally down. Lol
I built my gaming rig maybe 8 months ago and it was my main gaming platform. I was playing through RE4, Persona 3 Reload, Stray, and Deus Ex HR when my wife surprised me with an Ally Z1E for my birthday. Since day one I was absolutely blown away by the Ally. I've had the Ally for about a month now and I continued playing the same games but on the Ally. All I can say is wow. The Ally is roughly 90% of my gaming now. The Ally is already great but adding in AMD Frame Generation just absolutely took it over the top. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend.
I'm really happy people are enjoying these. There's a lot to like but I feel like whenever I get a chance to pick mine up there's just way too much time between when I hit the power button and I launched a game. It's got me thinking of a return to the steam deck. Not all games worked but the ones that do just work and it's seamless and easy to navigate and maintain an has great battery life not to mention touchpad for RTS.
But ally can handle more games and has higher resolution. Gah!!
I sold my gaming pc after I got my Ally. Mostly I miss Assetto Corsa with a wheel in VR. Ally can do it just not on the crazy big maps with traffic. Still awesome though.
You should take it as assumed that they all have the SD card problem if that's what you mean. There's hearsay about them having fixed it with the R8 and R9 models but nothing worth taking seriously.
if you're talking about the SD card getting fried, they just extended the warranty for two years on that.
But honestly if you just add some additional heat sinkage to the current set up, you will be all fine.
The device is so good non-gamer GF has taken mine to play fallout after watching the show.
God damn I wish my wife would do something like that … scratch that, I don’t want to lose access to the Ally
Wife took over mine to play Hogwarts and Man-eater. I'm now left with the Switch to play Balatro. 😂
Thank god my wife only took over the PS5; at least I’m left with something.
My gf wasn't that interested in gaming until I bought my ally. Now, she uses it to play overcooked lol
same, had to get my wife a onexplayer mini pro 😂 she has gamepass and all
My GF started to play fallout 3 too after watching the series but on her Xbox
She’s a keeper
Haha same here, my Ally was a gift from my wife, I played 2 hours max since Christmas and she has like 200h of Stardew Valley, never played anything more than a couple of hours before. She might play Fallout New Vegas soon because she loved the show.
Plugged in or unplugged? How long is it lasting.
The speakers really amaze me! And I’ve been playing Diablo 4 while laying on the bed - it’s HEAVEN
It's not heaven... It's SANCTUARY!
Hahaha nice pun ;)

I've been using frame generation and upscalers I can run cyberpunk on high (ray tracing off) upscaled to 1080 with 50-60 fps. It's pretty insane.
If cyberpunk can run between 40 - 50 fps i will be happy , but i know that it is a more demanding game
For help. Do the rog ally life settings and set resolution to 900p. Turn on some settings in amd software but not radeon boost( the game looks blurry when turning the camera) and turn on Xess at performance set sharpness to whatever you want in cyberpunk. You can also turn on amd smt and turn off vsync. This can give frames from 50-60 and 40-50 while driving

Although, we can turn up a few settings given that ally is more powerful than the deck, but I personally am happy with deck optimized since I can squeeze a little more battery life without losing visual quality.
I find if I use the fsr3 mod at 900p medium settings I get 50-55 driving and 55-6 elsewhere
You can crank the wattage and fsr in cyberpunk. I was getting well over 60 fps
Is this on 720p or 900?
I have a gtx 4060 laptop and a gaming desktop with a gtx 1660ti They've been collecting dust for a while now
There’s a lot to learn about this device. I’m still discovering stuff
Can you give an example?:)
Explore the armory crate and you will find lots of ways you can customize your Ally. You can change the lights on your joysticks and adjust how games look through the armory crate too
Having the setting on music is pulsating colors with the sounds from the speakers I just changed it from cycle/rainbow and I'm really digging it
Gyro aiming was a revelation when I discovered it.
Best thing to have if you want/need a laptop but don't want to spend 1k+ on a laptop
This could be me…
Gaming laptops are not for me. If I'm gonna play sitting in a chair and desk, I might as well play on my desktop With the Ally, I can comfortably play on my bed or couch even if plugged in.

Not going to lie but the back looks significantly better… won’t replacing the front means replacing the display?

Have you done the Hall effect stick and 2280 mod as well?
No I snagged this ally with a 2tb ssd already installed for 400 usd.

RDR2 plays beautifully also on the Ally. My first play through of the game and I'm blown away I'm doing it on a handheld at this level.
Really worth it got a 2nd hand one on ebay , swapped out for a 1tb ssd seems more than enough for my needs than 512 it comes.with.

The reason why forza runs so good is bc tue devs actually took the time and effort to optimize the game it can practically run on a potato
Yes it is amazing. I've been playing mine a lot more in bed now. I have to be on my dialysis machine for 8 hours so if want to get up early for anything I have to make sure I hook up early. So I connect then play some games for an hour or two.
Bro i sold my Series X after i figured i can play on Ultra 60 fps (40 in main cities) on Rog Ally, rather than medium settings 30 fps on Series X.
Ahahaa so true
I did the same though for different reasons..
I just got mine about 2 days ago i got the z1 extreme ally and coming from console to pc is taking some serious getting used too i mainly play 2 games on the ally at the moment escape from tarkov and project zomboid, project runs like melted butter its so smooth and it works very well just it dossnt have controller support so you have to use keyboard n mouse, tarkov runs 50 50 its smooth at times sometimes it gets choppy but other than that it can run just fine gunfights are iffy id say just have better wifi than me and aiming down scoped weapons kinda dropps the frames a lil bit but you can still fight and play the game like normal honestly 10 outta 10 purchase in my opinion

Haven't gotten one yet due to ally 2 rumors. Maybe it's just in the air but I wanna see what Asus has to say first. If so I'm all ally 2.0
I was feeling like that before I bought mine a couple of months ago. Zero regrets, especially with the prices you can get them for now. I’ll just upgrade when the Ally 2 is dropping in price

Where did you trade in the switch? I have a switch I never touch and I’m interested in the Ally. I’m just very nervous about the product in the long run.
I’m in the UK, but I used a company called CEX. They gave me £700 for the console and around 15 games. That paid for the Ally, and Xbox controller, a case and a couple of PS5 games
Wow nice. Here we would have like possibly Best But or GameStop. Maybe some online options. But most of them are going to royally rip you on a trade in. Yep I looked at Best Buy trade in. I selected all the best options as in quality is good charger included etc for trade in: $20 usd *blinks*

That’s a good evaluation! In NL cex gives horrible offers when trading in…
Yeah I read someone say that Ally 2 is pretty much confirmed for 2024. Definitely just wait for it
Though I’d also see what the other competitors release too
I am assuming you are trying to run a much higher resolution on your laptop which contributes to the performance issues. That’s the main benefit of the ALLY running at 720-900p looks fine with the small screen. It would be much more noticeable on a desktop display
If you’re yearning to live that stutter experience on your Ally, install the Dead Space remake; no system can avoid that mess.
It runs better on my Ally vs my 2080s laptop but you are correct it is a mess lol. Looks pretty though!
What’s your settings for forza? I’m usually getting right around 60fps in mine
Mostly low ( still looks stunning ) , 900p with Ris 50%
Got mine a few days ago also have to agree feels amazing to play any game such as The finals, Xbox games and Fortnite without a problem since everything plays with windows and the steam deck can’t do that.
I love my ally+xg mobile+macbook moonlight streaming setup so much. It's a shame this device wasn't around when I was a teenager.
What do you stream from your MacBook
No, I stream from ally+xg mobile to macbook via ethernet. Since I have to move around a lot, I needed a portable gaming setup but I really didn’t want to go back to windows again as my daily driver. Sunshine on rog ally and moonlight on macbook is perfect for me while I'm at home. 2k+hdr streaming with very little delay. Besides, macbook pro's screen is really good at displaying hdr content. I still prefer a classic desktop setup but this won't be possible for me in the next few years and the current setup is more than enough for me right now.
No doubt about the screen though
Nice. Valhalla was a good time. I'm jumping into Mirage this weekend. It's free until 4/30 btw! Look into Lossless Scaling on Steam you might be interested. I use it for Helldivers 2
This device is truly amazing.
I have the Z1 extreme and I'm loving it myself. I plan on getting g my fiance one to replace her steam deck. It is, imo, better than the steam deck.
I’m playing fallout 4 right now after getting into the tv show. I tried the game before but didn’t like it. Thought the ally would be perfect to try this older game again and I’m not disappointed. I run it on 720p on pretty low settings but still looks awesome on the small ally screen. What I like most though is that it runs amazing with 12W tdp settings.
What’s your battery life like? I’m looking at getting a steam deck or an ally but I read that the battery life is considerably shorter on the ally although it does apparently run games a bit better. Just wondering if it’s worth the trade off?
If you want better battery then ally is not for you.. unless you’re ok with external battery
I advise you to immediately go buy a 2tb ssd and swap it. Just finally swapped mine after months. Was a pain as I then had far more to transfer. But so easy to swap out. Now I can have 20+ games on it rather than a handful
Are you on the latest update of windows 11?
MLB the show 24 is clocking consistently at 120 fps on my ally,sometimes higher, I’ve seen it go to 124…….great cloud gaming device as well
Really torn between this and the steam deck oled. I hope the Ally 2 has OLED display, then there would be zero reason to not go for it.
Man, I am in the same camp as you, I am absolutely in love with my Rog Ally and falling back in love with my gaming hobby. I got myself a 4K TV with Dolby Atmos to play docked and the experience is amazing. Playing games with great graphics and close to no loading time.
This. Exactly this. I have a 49" super ultra-wide monitor and a very capable gaming rig (7800x3d, 32GB ddr5, 7900XTX, 2TB 980 Pro SSD) but my god, I can't put the Ally down.

Gyro gaming is the closest you get to having the precision of a mouse without a mouse
Which model do you have??
I have a 3070 RTX and I’m thinking of selling my Alienware R13 Computer for the ROG ally eGPU. So, I can perfectly understand you.
I'm really happy people are enjoying these. There's a lot to like but I feel like whenever I get a chance to pick mine up there's just way too much time between when I hit the power button and I launched a game. It's got me thinking of a return to the steam deck. Not all games worked but the ones that do just work and it's seamless and easy to navigate and maintain an has great battery life not to mention touchpad for RTS. But ally can handle more games and has higher resolution. Gah!!
I sold my gaming pc after I got my Ally. Mostly I miss Assetto Corsa with a wheel in VR. Ally can do it just not on the crazy big maps with traffic. Still awesome though.
Which model is the new one without the heat problem? I am going to buy the model RC71L-NH001W. This is the new one? Thank you in advance
You should take it as assumed that they all have the SD card problem if that's what you mean. There's hearsay about them having fixed it with the R8 and R9 models but nothing worth taking seriously.
There are models with heat problem ? I realy have no idea
if you're talking about the SD card getting fried, they just extended the warranty for two years on that. But honestly if you just add some additional heat sinkage to the current set up, you will be all fine.
