man this device is attracts me more than the steamdeck and i own a deck already. the fact that you can do windows and install other windows games and apps is just appetizing to me. with the deck i have linux but i dislike it alot. i should have waited up instead of buying my deck. only if installing windows were easy on my deck i would do it in a heartbeat but too bad that you need to install drivers and what have you as well while with the ally its all pre installed. you just need to upgrade your software.
Actually depending on how you use your Windows the Ally's Windows 11 is quite painful...

I have both steam deck and ROG Ally , if I would need to pick only one I would choose the Steam Deck , the fact that you have a native 800p screen helps much more for the games I play to feel smooth even if I have to limit the FPS , on Windows the FPS limit does not really work as on Steam deck and for exmemple I have much better time with Snowrunner on Steam Deck with battery over 3 hours , compared to unstable performance on windwos on ROG Ally and only max 90 minutes maybe
Just installed on my Aya2 (6800U). Mostly just works :) However, I keep accidentally turning the wifi off. The wifi toggle is the first thing in the list and is immediately select, so if you are moving the stick to figure out where you are at, the wifi gets toggled. My only other issue is that the mouse emulation doesn't automatically turn off in games like AyaSpace.
Did you disabled armory crate for testing this tool? Or disabled the quick tools from armory crate? I tried an another tools but they keep crashing with armory running in the background.
So doing this and setting the FPS to 60 and watts to 18 locks it at 6w. Gpu usage drops to 0% and cpu is around 10% at a speed of 700. Disabling those options then changes nothing and I have to restart. Does it every single time.
The problem is I've just tried the software and now after removing the program my Rog Ally still stucked at the settings, is there any way to reset to defaults?
You might want to mention that in Armory Crate to set AC to the windows power management option. If you don't AC and UTU will fight over power management.
Might also be worth mentioning that the fps limiter only works for exclusive full screen, if the game only supports fullscreen (windowed) you’re out of luck
Adaptive FPS works like Radeon Chill (but works properly with controller input), so when no user input is detected, the minimum FPS value is set, and when user input is detected, the max FPS limit will be applied. I found it useful to save power with instances where high FPS isn’t needed, so I added it to the application.
so whats stopping you doing the same thing via the armory, set it at 28 W custom profile , and then set the FPS. I get that the armory you have to make custom profiles to do it, vs just do it on the fly i guess thats the only positive
I downloaded the utility its not working the way it did for you I had to use the right joystick as the mouse the d pad just allowed me to see more options how do you change the color from black and white letters
This is sick. Just the RivaTuner quick access is worth it alone as I'm not really happy with Asus' own FPS limiter since it doesn't function unless it's set before you open a game.
does power limit work with rog ally original charger while in docking mode? because im mostly using it in docking mode , and while in docking mode max tdp i can get is 25w
Thanks for sharing. This is gonna be fun to mess around with to get the most out of the ROG Ally. Such a great handheld. This is really gonna make it my go to handheld.
Looks like manual mode won't allow the app to take control of power management. Windows mode won't allow fan control so you'll always get thermal throttled. Basically useless at this point
@onsh it works for me . Using manual mode for fan control and x86 handled the rest. Only issue was gpu freq stays at what you set as until a reboot. Besides Asus put out a new fan curve for turbo mode so it's not like it's much of a issue anymore
Love the videos, been on the channel since 2017 for the early launch box days. Can you do an ULTIMATE setup with a custom windows like Tiny or Ghost(prefer ghost lol), handheld control panel, utu and big box? I think that would apply to ALL handhelds and would really give people who aren't PC savvy a step by step guide on how to get the MOST console like experience out of their handheld. Love ya again, keep up the great work!
I think Handheld Companion should do a better job at that, since this doesn't have controller configuration but Handheld Companion does. Though I can't say for sure since I don't have an x86 handheld.
can this software be used to Desktops? Cause it seems so easy to use RTSS and its very useful to have access to all these options at Laptops/Desktops too!
There's nothing for GPU scaling? Apparently that's needed, at least on the Steam Deck, to deal with those black screens when loading newly installed games...I have to remote into Team Viewer just to see the actual game scree and change the res so it shows up on my Deck.
I'd say 75% of the time I'm going to care less about wattage if I have a portable type c charger and plugged in to an outlet next to me. Not buying this to have to compromise on performance below 60fps.
I installed the program yesterday after seeing the video about it. It worked fine but when I didn't use my Azus for 6 hours it started to have issues. I tried to use it right now but it freezes then goes back to normal then the screen goes black and shuts down. I'm not sure what to do to fix this
The thing that i think isnt being clarified when it comes to the chit chat regarding gaming handhelds is that its a matter of convenience and that the majority of 'mobile' circumstances will actually have access to power...and what gaming handhelds should actually be emphasing is plugged in performance with workable battery performance being secondary. The most intensive computing for consumer use is gaming...even video rendering is simply a matter of waiting a little while which for almost everyone should never be issue.
What adjustments are needed for WWE2K23 I get a lot of stuttering on my Ally. Please help me fix this thank you so much as an Ally owner you’re content has helped me more and more.
Hey dude cool video. Im just looking for info to buy or pass? Are you experiencing any crash or freezes? Does these tips and tricks help? Thanks in advance
Igpu statsuc clock is broken. If you turn it on, you cant turn it off. Be double sure that the app isnt set to open on boot otherwise you might beock your device
Tried this on my ally and even without adjusting anything it made my ally very slow. Also it limited my apu at about 800mhz. Had to delete it and restart the device
Not sure I agree with showing these unless you're going to also point out potential registry conflicts with AC. Not seeing how there will not be issues and getting rid of AC is problematic.
ROG ALLY: Setting control mode to Windows mode lets you have full freedom of Wattage up to 60w. The only thing missing in that mode is fan control. This is almost super useful, but without fan controll, the fans stay at 20% even at 85c. I hope they add fan control. ASUS power management is a stuttery mess and I would love to fully circumvent it.
Have you try to setup your own curve with G helper on a custom power profile? I'm not sure how AC will react tho. I think all the power user tools are conflicting with windows' priority system ATM... It's hard to get a good custom experience on the device. if only Asus could have done good work and integrate all of these functions OTB in AC...
In my country pre-order start 27 june, and i can't wait to get mine on september.. But why the long wait.. Watching your video will prep me well when i get my hands on
ETA prime, I live in North Carolina as well so shouts out to you. Could you please make a video of what equipment you would use to start off a youtube channel? Maybe even do the equipment on tiers? A video on how you would go about it if you had to start over again or how the process works to create content?
How do you completely get rid of this? I made the terrible mistake of lowering my apu wattage to 15 watts and now can’t reopen. Even after reinstalling and using armory crates turbo mode, I’m stuck in 15 watts and hope I didn’t just brick my device
