@petetalkstech The 'keep machine running' option in eco assist is missing in ACin my OG Rog ally Z1extreme(white version) All software has been updated including AC. Is that option only for Ally X model or is it also an option in OG Ally as well? Can you please ask around and get back to me?Thanks

Great video. Just picked up my ally x last week and, as a PC enthusiast, ive been tinkering with the settings. Your vid was a great, quick cover on what to change. 🤘🏿

i think ive watched enough of these videos but once i clicked yours, i decided to stick around anyways lol. you have a very calming voice & i love the added quote at the end
First thing to do is actually test if every button works. I did all the updates and stuff for hours just to realise one of my trigger buttons is dead. Need to return and get a new one now :( Will come back to this video for my second unit !
Great Video! Love that tip from Julian, that was money! You should have mentioned using CRT program is improve the VRR and setting it to 40 fps instead of 48, helps a bit with smoothness.
Thanks Norm! Yes Last of Us 1 and 2 are my fave games, I think it’s cos I relate to them so much as I play guitar myself and I have a daughter that very much reminds me of Ellie which is why it resonates with me so much…
The memory integrity and core isolation is the most interesting to me. Does that one setting really suck up that many resources on the Ally? 10-20fps increase is very significant on any platform.
You’re right drinc these are an interesting factor - they really do seem to drain resources for gaming, which is baffling as to why Microsoft haven’t released an optimised version of Windows OS tailored made for gaming (although rumours are they will at some point…)
Happy to help Waqas! You’re right, this new option to set custom load up profiles for every game is legit a game changer and hardly anybody is mentioning it! 🔥🔥
Can anyone give me a simplistic explanation in the wattage differences and what to expect in terms of performance, battery life, and the effect it has on the device?
There are 3 modes, silent, performance n turbo, I'd recommend playing in performance mode always cause it's a balance between battery life n not make it heat up it goes up to 60 C only in performance but in every game you'll have to lower the graphics in order to get a solid FPS around 40 or 50 at least hpe that explains a lot
Good stuff for the most part, but you should be more specific on the last one when disabling memory integrity, something like “do this if you value performance over security on your device”
@ I watched the video, hence my comment. Just because Microsoft says “do this to increase performance” that doesn’t mean is a good option if you value security
@@TheWiredWolf your comment originally was about him not mentioning the risk of security for performance gain... watch the video , he does clearly mention the risks and also said to turn it back on if you're using it as a PC downloading etc
The #1 most waswntial tip to any rog ally owner is install Bazzite. Duel boot or no duel boot is up to you but if you want to get the very best oyt of the ally X its Bazzite
It is Sur, which is why I recently did a super easy set up guide on it! 👇 Ally X: The ULTIMATE Bazzite Dual Boot Setup Guide in 9 Easy Steps ua-cam.com/video/qflFmajwFyo/v-deo.html
Also REVIOS I've been using it on all my machines and everything works with 0 issues, same as stock windows, but much lighter! Fresh installation is around 59 processer in the task manager. Tho, after the revios install, I also disable other services, via the "Services" Windows app, still some stuff such as "Delivery Optimization" has to be disabled via "Regedit".... After all that I can get to the high 40s Stuff I disable that I don't need: " Display policy service Distributed link tracking client Display enhancement service(don't disable this on laptops/handheld) Intel management engine wmi provider Intel dynamic application Logitech lamp array Microsoft store install service Print spooler Server Update orchestrator service Windows search Windows Update Workstation "
I still have not been able to figure out how to change the real time monitor click from 24hr to 12hr format. I even tried to see if there was a setting in the BIOS. Alas, no dice.

Great observation Enrique! Yes after recording this I realised all graphics were on low settings, so bumped them all up to normal which looks great and gets around 60fps on battery with around 2.5-3 hours play time 🔥🔥

I did it and had a hard time with the top screws not unscrewing properly, I had to unscrew the bottom ones and start prying it open (softly), so the added pressure helped to unscrew it completely. Other than that it was actually very easy. Just be sure to disconnect the battery and it is advisable to have the battery with somewhat low charge before doing so.
@muhdfaizjamil4139 you have to shut it off. Power up holding power and volume down to enter Bios. There in the settings change it to 16G. Save and exit.
Guys I need help my rog ally x died pretty fast even with battery tips on I think because I’m playing bo6. if you have any tips for longer battery when playing bo6 (drop a comment)
do i have to update the AMD driver on the ROG Ally cos i got through the initial set up and went to launch AMD app, and it says that it isn't compatible with the current AMD driver nvm just had to update the amd driver.
sometimes it can be the opposite as well. if you update the driver but not the amd software it can bring up that same pop up. if that ever happens you just gotta update amd in the windows store.
Yeah… all of this is confusing. I bought this thing today. And started playing a few games. Got lost as hell. I have had people try to explain things. Still confused. This video and other video makes me even more confused. Maybe I just need to stick to console gaming. It’s just too much just to enjoy the thing
Understandable, PC gaming is a bit of a learning curve coming from console, but once we set up these steps one time then it really does become easier, plus many of us enjoy finding and tweaking all these quirks of PC gaming out to be part of the fun of it all lol...
Either I'm missed a step somewhere or I was just unlucky and bought a crap one Cause despite I followed those steps, this piece of shit console still lags when I'm trying! To play Dark Souls 2 A game that ON PAPER should have no problem running

Can anyone give me a simplistic explanation in the wattage differences and what to expect in terms of performance, battery life, and the effect it has on the device?
There are 3 modes, silent, performance n turbo, I'd recommend playing in performance mode always cause it's a balance between battery life n not make it heat up it goes up to 60 C only in performance but in every game you'll have to lower the graphics in order to get a solid FPS around 40 or 50 at least hpe that explains a lot

what does that even do
Good stuff for the most part, but you should be more specific on the last one when disabling memory integrity, something like “do this if you value performance over security on your device”
