Almost feels like we're robbing Asus This is borderline PS5/Series X level of graphical power! |
Realistically I don't think you'll see performance anywhere near PS5 and Series X, due to clock rates being throttled to save on battery life and such, as well as the mobile CPU compared to PS5 and Seies X having a proper desktop CPU, but I haven't seen any benchmarks yet.
Edit: And indeed I was right. While the Asus ROG specs seem impressive on paper, after looking at it's real world performance from multiple reviews' benchmarks just now, it doesn't seem to perform even close to to the 8.4 tflop you're seeing on paper, a number which makes it seem like it would perform between Series S and PS5. Even with the ROG Ally set on turbo mode, which has just 1 hour of gaming battery life, PC gamer got just 48 fps average playing Hitman 3 at ultra settings at 1080p. By comparison PS5 runs Hitman 3 at 1800p (a big increase over 1080p on the ROG ally), with a mix of ultra, high, and medium settings at a locked 60 fps. PC Gamer had to drop to full medium settings and turn on FSR to run resolution at native 720p upscaled to 1080p in order to hit a locked 60 fps on Hitman 3. Cyberpunk is even worse than Hitman on it, even with medium settings and using FSR to run at native 720p upscaled to 1080p, ROG Ally only managed 37 fps average, with a minimum framerate of just 12 fps at some point during their benchmark sequence.
PC GamesN meanwhile got these results at 1080p low settings on various games, these results are even below the 4 tflop Series S even though the ROG Ally has more RAM than Series S and a supposedly 8.4 tflop GPU.
Maybe things will improve for the ROG Ally as AMD releases some better drivers for it's Z1 Extreme chipset, but as of now it's not performing all that well imo, certainly not $700 well. For $700 you can get a Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 laptop with a Ryzen 5 CPU and a GTX 3050 GPU, which would beat these ROG Ally benchmarks with ease, I just found a review for it that says it can run AC Valhalla at 1080 ultra settings with 40 fps, and 60 fps by dropping to medium settings, and another which says it can run Borderlands 3 at 1080p badass settings with 42 fps and Red Dead Redemption 2 with 1080p very high settings at 39 fps, and Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p ultra 36 fps and medium settings at 62 fps. It would also be more practical to own than the ROG Ally which is only good for gaming, a laptop you can actually use for other things.
