    Just an FYI for anyone with this same issue: I tried using an aftermarket 100W charger with my ROG Ally and it kept saying it couldn't charge at full power and it wouldn't let me use the higher wattage you get when plugged in with the oem charger. The issue turned out to be the USB-C cable I was using with that 100W charger. I tested it with my USB-C power meter and noticed the cable was only capable of 60W, even though the charger is capable of 100W. Once I changed the cable out for one compatible with 100W, the Rog Ally worked perfect with the aftermarket 100W charger. It still only charges at 65W obviously, but the USB-C cables seem to mostly be capable of either up 60W, or up to 100W, there aren't many cables that are capable of exactly 65W.

      If it’s a charger w multiple usb c ports make sure you only have 1 cable plugged in on your charger to get the 100w. If there is more than one cable even you charge only 1 device your charger assuming it’s a gan will split power again even if you only have 1 device charging. Hope it helps

    Nice performance boost if you extend the page file in windows as well. I have upgraded mine to 4tb. So, dedicated 40g to the page file extension. This gave great results and a snappier OS. It did yield higher FPS in most titles I have played on the ROG as well.

      ASUS has implemented a lot since this video was released. I’m actually releasing a new vid Saturday on some updates. But as far as the TDP app goes, I think it’s a great idea if it can provide you with better performance for certain games compared to what ASUS has implemented. Test both and see which works better for you

    • @batpixel
      @batpixel  Рік тому

      If you’re using an SD card try it on a computer. The only thing I can suggest for the ROG is turning off other wifi devices and any computers/game systems using your wired internet while you download. Maybe check with your router/internet provider if you can do something to increase wifi speeds. Maybe a wifi extender or something. I’m not too familiar with speeding up download speeds

    Not sure if going above 30W is long-term good for such a small device. I cap mine at 25W plugged in and 15W on battery. Even at those caps, it blows my Deck away for PC games and especially PS3.

      Are your in-game settings matching your ROG Ally's settings? Have you tried changing different CPU's? In Battlefield 2042 I change my ROG Ally over to 6GB and it works way better. You could also try 'Auto' is your CPU boost on? What about trying less frames per second like a 30 frame limit? You could try running at 60hz vs 120. There's lots of options to try. I'm sure people online have posted the best settings for that game as well

      I have only seen videos of people clearing up their RAM after using debloat software. I may actually make a video on this soon. If you turn on your Ally, open ‘Task Manager’ and you can see you are using around half of your available RAM before you open anything. If you debloat it you should free up RAM that your games can use. Why take up the space for unused items anyway

    There are a few things i find wrong here. One, these AMD chips are designed to run hot, and there is no reason to lower it from 95 C. . Also, cyberpunk is hardly a newer game, as its been out almost 3 years.

    • @batpixel

      If you’re running it that hot you’re risking an issue with the SD card slot breaking cards on these devices. The conversation around the ASUS ROG Ally has been about lowering the temps since it released. Cyberpunk is still a challenging game to run. The viewpoint of it’s recent release date being considered a newer game or not isn’t the point
