Even in slightly less demanding games like Horizon Zero Dawn, the ROG Ally can reach above 30 fps in Performance mode. Chart-topping performanceĪt the native resolution of 1080p with an uncapped frame rate, you’re looking at around 30 frames per second (fps) in highly demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077 in Turbo mode.

These pull sustained power of 9W, 15W, and 25W respectively, and if you plug the device in at Turbo mode, it goes up to 30W. Asus includes three modes in its Armoury Crate utility: Silent, Performance, and Turbo. These power ranges are important because they are what determine the performance (and battery life) you’ll get out of the ROG Ally. That’s when you’re actually using the device, too. The Ryzen Z1 Extreme can operate in a range of 9 watts to 30W of sustained power (it can go higher for brief periods). You’re not getting PS5 levels of performance in the ROG Ally, but it’s a good illustration of the performance on tap. For context, the PS5 has a theoretical performance of 10.3 TFLOPs. It comes with eight Zen 4 cores and 12 RDNA 3 graphics cores, with theoretical performance of 8.6 TFLOPs. Let’s focus a bit more on the heart of the ROG Ally, though: the Ryzen Z1 Extreme APU.
