The old bios was incredibly quiet. The problem with the new one is that now the fans ramp up to 75% at +60°C and there is no way to manualy adjust it, since the new bios overrides any manual fan control over 60°C. In my opinion 75% fan is way too high and loud for such low temperatures

I'm so glad!

I can't wait for this to be realeased here in Brazil. I still don't understand why Valve didn't release the deck here.

Try running Deathloop with 8g set on VRAM. That's the first game I saw an issue. I ended up having to set it back to 4g for it to run smoothly (on Auto, it had a bit of stuttering).

Großartiges Video. BloatyNosy und ausschalten der Kern Isolierung bringen enormen Leistungsboost. Alleine die Hintergrund Anwendungen in Windows fressen den RAM auf. Viele Spiele muss man Benutzerdefiniert einstellen in der Grafik und Schatten reduzieren und Umgebungsdetails ansonsten läuft vieles auf hohen Einstellungen. Nachdem mein ROG Ally einmal zur Reparatur war wegen defekter L1/LB Taste läuft nun alles perfekt.

I'm curious to see what settings you were using in Cyberpunk. I have been using higher settings at 1080p with a 30 fps cap and it has been fine, game runs good with 25W mode and cpu boost off. 15W or 18W the fps will drop into the 20s though. I have just used auto VRAM and I haven't noticed any issues with it yet. I feel better having it on auto so if a game needs more system ram and less vram it will be able to have that.

Bloaty saved my ram and freed up a lot of space on my device

By using something like the bloat nosey how much ram did that clear up? Id really like to know.

I just got the XG Mobile 6850M XT for better performance. 😁 ASUS got me I guess cause I ended up getting a ROG Flow X16 as well to make use of that XG Mobile. I'm looking to get the XG Mobile 4090+ in the future as well.

how's the tem[ on your screen? gets super hot?

The Ally has excellent speakers even with my fans set at high the noise doesn't bother me. I also use earbuds.

waiittt ! did you use internet explorer???

I couldn’t care less about the fan noise because I wear my XM5 noise canceling headphones when I use my Ally for gaming lol. As long as the custom fan profile keeps the device cool and offers better performance I’m up for it. How much of a performance jump/boost you get going from Turbo plugged in to that custom profile?

@@spiritualantisepticlol thanks for the grammar correction, yes, I meant I didn’t care much about the fan noise because I wear noise canceling headphones. Sadly I no longer have this device though.

My fans are never that loud even in turbo mode plugged in. In that mode I never have lag or slowdown even after hours of play.

My charger is jacked up on mine. I plugged it in one day wouldn’t charge plugged the charger into my switch it started charging. So I thought it was the ally. But then I plugged a different type c charger into the ally and it connected instantly no issues. But sadly won’t do 30W turbo only 25w. The asus charger only works if I leave it plugged into my switch for a little then transfer the charger over to the ally super weird idk what it could be.

Can get change fan curve for some reason

Everyone says the ally defeats the point of being a handheld but doesn’t the deck when it’s docked? That defeats the point of having a handheld too.

7:10 LOL those fans tho 🤣

Would you recommend using CRU to expanding the VRR range from 120-48hz to say 120-30hz?

Strangely after going over several benchmark tests, 8gb of ram really doesn’t offer that big of an advantage for most games aside from like COD as even though you allocate that much it doesn’t seem to utilize it. 5gb (or 6gb depending on who you ask) seems to be the sweet spot. Games like Cyberpunk which you mentioned, the performance was negligible between 5gb and 6gb - and actually a couple FPS less with 6gb! For anyone reading this, don’t even bother with Auto as that actually gets it worse performance overall across the board.

I had my vram on 8gb since day one!! Forza didn’t launch one time for me!! Looked in to it!! Highered vram to 8gb!! Been running smooth since

​@@fresco_dinero5155auto in FH5 is actually worst for me. I set is back to 4G and it plays a lot better. 8G will leave you with very little RAM to work with. This should've came with 32GB of RAM that's for sure.

one thing i did on my Ally is to disable the clock boost on the cpu. it didn't noticably increase the overall fps, but it can save some battery life. as 95% of games are gpu bottlenecked on the ally(except if you use an external gpu), so having a faster cpu makes little to no benefit. also, it helped in some games that had stuttering because of the constantly changing cpu clock. the modification is reversible, so no risks here. ps. i use dbrand's switch oled's screen protector on the ally and it looks shockingly similair to what you have on your Ally ;)

RAM? 16GB is appropriate for handheld. Docked as a PC? Maybe. But if your games are breaking 16GB you're pushing the settings beyond what a playable framerate would be to begin with, or you are pumping up settings your human eye won't benefit from on a small screen. My home PC is 32ram and 8vram but that's because I'm rockin newest games at 2k 165hz.

Clarity: my request is UNPLUGGED TURBO MODE just to see how well you are optimized vs mine, because you did some debloating and changed RAM. The new bios 322 fan curve is keeping her sooo much cooler and running better. Are there any other practical optimization things you have done that garnered extra performance?

i'm having extreme performance on Windows mode compare to Manuel

Side note: I recently discovered playnite as a frontend for my games it just detects all from your multiple launchers, and it has themes so I have mine looking like a switch theme. Also I have had the OSD bugg out and not update on certain things before. I use a program called FPSMonitor from steam its similar to Riva tuner but its "safer" with anti-cheats as its compatible with more of the well known anti cheats. Additionally I have disabled the Windows Virtual machine, and also disabled Core Isolation on my device.

Basically allowing the gpu more vram to use with the shared ram with the cpu. I leave it on auto so it chooses how much to use as needed.

used bloatlynoite and hated. my performance went from good to cloud recovery. never using again, now im back to 1080p gaming 60fps from 720p with low fps. Cyberpunk - the ghosting is because of ingame FSR. i prefer playing 720p medium settings with 70c-75c than overheating the device at 95c and damaging. its not a bug, its really at 95c

Performance > fan noise

Turn your settings down in game. Everything is probably set too high. I'm getting 60 on Re4 on 1080. Shadows affect performance the most. Start everything low settings and bump the stuff up that matters the most to you slowly until you like it. This thing won't run demanding games on high settings in 1080. I usually have to set most games low to mid. Turn off motion blur also. There is other settings that you don't need as well. Just tinker until your satisfied. Almost every setting will affect your fps. Most games have preset graphic settings also. You can try them and tinker from there.

If i slide the power settings all the way up it gets to like 90 degrees cl.

I locked it for gamecube emulation I spent like 30 mins trying to figure out what is the issue of why the graphics were glitchy. I thought it was a setting on Dolphin emulator. Then I took off the fps cap and it fixed the issue.
