- 900p makes a HUGE difference. Looks almost like 1080p with better performance. One of the best tweaks I've made to the system so far. Enjoy! :)

When set the resolution to 900p, set the scaling to 125%. This make the desktop and Armoury Crate correct / no scrolling.
Thank you, that indeed solves the problem.
Hey, thanks for the tip! I included it in my update video here: ua-cam.com/video/5jO1F36KWOc/v-deo.html
What an insanely comprehensive benchmarking! Thank you! I am getting a ROG Ally soon and this video was exactly what I needed to see if 900p gaming would be worth it and clearly it is.
900p is AWESOME!. Timestamps and download are in description, enjoy :)
UPDATE: ASUS now includes 900p in the driver! So if you're using the latest Asus driver you'll have 900p. I personally have been using the latest AMD Drivers which currently does require running the registry.
Hi bro please share us your overlay I love it, thanks!
I use 900p with RSR. Honestly looks native resolution with the bumps in performance you noted.
@@mikegalvez2575 Nice! I use RIS (Radeon Image Sharpening) at 900p and it also looks really close to native. With RIS you can run any resolution and it's always on, always working. I've tested RSR vs RIS in-depth and prefer RIS. However, RSR is still pretty good and I'd say use the one you like. Try RIS though if you haven't yet, I have the showcase and tutorial near the end of the video :)
@@filt3rless I just saw it was my post on Reddit that you found the reg edit. That was a game changer for me. Ive seen you recommend ris and have not had a chance to try it out. I'll mess with it today.
@@mikegalvez2575 Thanks for creating the post. This is such a great find :) Also all the extra resolutions are perfect because we can adjust it down in 6 different levels now, instead of just the 2 (1080 / 720). So it really helps for getting all the games we like to run well at the wattages we like using.
Thank you for making all these videos for the Ally!
Hey man - I consider you to be THE BEST Rog Ally resource out there on the interwebs. I'm a PC power user... to illustrate I just built my custom watercooled 13900KS PC a few months ago, delided the CPU and installed direct die watercooling on it and have overclocked the bejesus out of the machine in every way. As a power user, I really appreciate your level of details and the really dive deep into the settings and tweaks to squeeze every drop of performance out of this handheld device. I love the performance since following your tutorials - and I'm glad to bring the power user affect to the Ally! Keep it up man - I have a feeling you're well on your way to making a career out of reviewing and providing tutorials on high-end handhelds.
Dang, thank you so much man. That means a lot! :) Also congrats on the build, sounds like it's a BEAST! 👍
I'd love to do this as a career someday. Comparing handhelds with facts and proof of what they can do. Un-biased review of "this one does this better" and "this one does that better". And it looks like the handheld market is really ramping up now, majorly in part to valve pushing the Steam Deck out. It's an exciting future. I hope steam gives us Steam OS for PC's soon, that'd be an awesome thing to rock on spare gaming laptop, or even try out on the ROG Ally / other handhelds.
Thanks for this find, another dude in the Reddit made a version that just adds the 16x9 modes. This is definitely one of your best finds.
Thanks so much for all of the work you put into your videos. Your attention to detail is absolutely amazing. I was struggling to find proper settings for maximum performance on my Ally and then your video popped up in my recommendations and you now have a new sub. Thanks again for the time and great work you do and I look forward to future videos helping with all things ROG Ally.
Hey thanks! I have a 20 game benchmark coming out soon between the LCD, OLED and Ally. Glad the tips and tricks have helped :)
Lots of effort put in great work! Subbed! Keep more Rog ally content coming btw..!😁
It's good to have these options... even though it may be obvious or appear like simple math, finding the ideal visual / performance compromise is well worth the effort.
Thank you so much dude. My ally already gets pretty solid performance (I turned core isolation off and I desolated my system and set a custom 18w mode) but this just gave me even more performance without such a hit to graphics
No problem man! :). I feel like the Ally is now running as it should. Getting really good visuals and performance while on battery now, which is awesome. Make sure you check out RIS at the end of the video, it's a game changer and I run it on all the time. It makes 900p look like 1080p (maybe even better) with 0 performance hit.
Thanks for making this video. You do a great job!
Thank you! I use 900p with RIS (Radeon Image Sharpening) and it makes it look like 1080p with awesome performance. I covered it near the end if you're not already using RIS, you might want to check it out :)
Filterless stays with S-tier ROG Ally content. Didn't even consider this until now. Sometimes because these things interest me, i spend more time tinkering with graphical fidelity and settings than playing the games lol. Keep it up bro, notis on
Thanks! Glad the content helps out. I also like tinkering with settings, almost too much just like you. I'll start a game, get the "perfect" settings then move to the next game 🤣.
@@filt3rless facts! 😆
Amazing vid. great work done
i just tried this, applying the registry but with system still in 1080p and changing the resolution in-game to 900p and RIS On there's no more blurriness that i got prior to this fix, thank you so much! now i can enjoy playing in 900p with close to 1080p sharpness!
Great upload! I get super excited when you pump this stuff out, means I can tinker some more! Keep it up.
Also it a shame we can't hack AC to be able to switch these resolutions on the fly through the CC instead of just 720 and 1080. Maybe someone might figure it out.
Thanks man :). I wish AC would give us that resolution option, and an option for switching to a set watt, like 17W or 25W, instead of Silent, Performance, Turbo. Having custom buttons for things would be great. I noticed AC doesn't scale to 900p, so maybe that's why we don't have the resolutions, Asus didn't want to have to make AC scale and add the button functionality. I'm not sure though.
@@filt3rless No worries man! Great content and tips as always. Yeah it would be great to be able to select your pre-defined watt settings. I'm always pretty much in manual 99% of the time though. Good point on the Ac scaling issue and prob why they haven't included it. May though, just maybe they are taking note for future updates.
So interesting! Been loving 720RSR for a lot of games but do notice the step down in clarity. Keen to see if this is a happy medium.
Thanks so much for sharing your insights with all us. Appreciate all the effort you put in to help us get the most out of our devices.
Thanks! Glad you like it. 900p with RIS is in another class, give it a shot when you get a chance, I think you'll like it. I even did a video of 720p RSR vs 720p RIS, and even at 720p I prefer RIS. ua-cam.com/video/at6RXXjpfB4/v-deo.html And at 900p RIS is even better, I think it's a great in-between :)
A massive thanks for making this video. In the era where almost everyone is obsessed with 4k gaming, few people like us only play games in lower resolution.
Wow stellar find! Ty so much for the info!
Glad it helped :). With Bios 323 and 900p this thing is really awesome now!
Can't wait to go home now to switch to 900p with RIS on great video 💪💪
You'll love it, it's my default now at 17W. Thanks :)
@@filt3rlessyou have 17W accross the board? I'm currently running 18/20/20 I think.
@@volcalstone I use a program called "G-Helper" which lets me set the watts and switch profiles a lot easier. I have a video on it here: ua-cam.com/video/-UPfsmZxLss/v-deo.html. I run 13W / 17W / 25W. Also you can even create more profiles in G-Helper so you can quickly switch between any watts you want. Under the "extra" tab though, you'll want to set the Command center button and ROG button to "------" or "custom" so it doesn't open when pressing them. The program has been updated where it supports the buttons (not shown in the video), so that's why it'll open G-Helper now when pressing them.
There are a lot of options though, and running manual in AC also works. It's just a lot louder than "Balanced" at 17W in G-Helper.
Been getting great battery life from this and at 17w gives it even more play time. You have been giving us top qulity content mate, Keep it up!
"Been getting great battery life from this and at 17w gives it even more play time"
I think you and I define great battery life differently cause 17w definitely doesn't give you great battery life
@@turkturkelton2357 why would I do that for some random annoying kid. Do me a favour and define it yourself.
@@turkturkelton2357😂😂😂 so true
Amazing content! Instant subscribe
Maaaan!!! This is awesome!! Great thanks!
Hey! I finally got to the video haha. I saw you commented a few times about it, thanks for suggestion. It's an AMAZING option :). I've been setting all my games to 900p with RIS on and they've been running 👌at 17W.
This is indeed much better than "Steam Deck Essentials" or the other couple optimisation mods, you just saved me from buying an Xbox, really informative and to the spot as always Filterless, keep up the good work
Thank you! Glad it helped :)
I prefer my Xbox Series X over My Asus Rog Ally. But, it is still a very nice hand held gaming pc. I use my Xbox for watching Amazon Prime, Netflix, and blu-ray movies daily so that is why I prefer it over the ROG ally. 😉👌
I've always used 720p for the more demanding games to get the framerate up (and because it's an easy thing to switch to in Command Center), but I just tried the registry edit myself and 900p with RIS is indeed a happy in-between of 720p performance and 1080p looks. Another banger video!
Same, it was a struggle between 1080p and 720p. It's really nice to have additional options and 900p like you said with RIS is awesome! Also we have 6, 16:9 resolutions, so you could even go down just slightly more or higher to get in-between 900 and 1080. But just like you found, 900p is the sweet spot. Glad the video helped :)
@@filt3rless Sorry, I spoke too soon. So I ran the file and rebooted, then went straight into FF7 Remake. I found the 1600x900 resolution choice there so I assumed it worked. But when going back to Windows or in another game such as Witcher 3, I only have the 2 original resolutions (720p and 1080p) available as a choice, and other people here and in the Reddit post are saying the same. I'm thinking you have to dock your Ally first and then you'll get access to the other resolutions.
@@Grimlo9ic That's so strange. I originally had run this while in handheld mode without it being docked and it still unlocked all the resolutions. Thank you for the information though. I wish I could "undo" it to test it out, but no matter what I do the resolutions are there, docked, undocked, reboots, etc.
@@filt3rless But you have docked that Ally before, prior to all of this right? My current theory is docking it the first time creates a number of registry entries, which the additional registry file you linked to interacts with, and leads to all those resolutions being available.
Tried a couple of things but still no luck. Will just request for ASUS to officially support this through AC/CC I guess.
I'm on:
BIOS 323
MCU FW 311
AC 1.3.6.0
And here's what I did:
1. Deleted all of the entries that the registry file makes (so that when the registry file is rerun, it adds them again)
2. Connected my Ally to my monitor through my Steam Deck dock and a DP cable (I don't have any other docks on hand)
3. Fiddled with the display settings a bit (duplicated/extended/showed only on displays 1 and 2, as well as checked out the other resolutions available on both displays)
4. Disconnected my Ally from the dock, reran the registry file, and rebooted
How can I put Baldur's Gate 3 in 900p? I only get 1080p and, 720p for options. Appreciate it.
great video, nice.
I would love to see them add 900p to the resolution switcher in command center. Currently I use 720p handheld and 1080p docked. I definitely see myself running 900p docked for games that can’t get up to 60fps in docked mode
For sure. But they can't even fix the deadzone issues reported from day 1, along with a myriad of other issues. Hopes of them adding needed quality of life updates is non-existent at this point.
@@ChazTyldsley objectively speaking they have made quality of life changes so saying that because 1 issue hasn’t been “fixed” seems pretty biased. And I know the SD card issue is still a thing. I can understand being frustrated for sure, but I personally don’t hold that sentiment
@@TheDarKris their updates are coming in incredibly slow. Communication is barely existent at this point. And numerous day 1 issues reported and acknowledged still remain with the only word being that they're "investigating" - the same thing they've said since they acknowledged the issues.
I love the device when it works but have zero faith in Asus to support it properly now.
@ChazTyldsley Yea, and they are using discord for there customer support... really sad...
@@ChazTyldsleyIncredibly slow? The console had 4 bios updates and 2 hotfixes + 4 Armory Crates updates with quality of life improvements and fixes within four months. NO Windows handheld support is as fast...
The only competitor doing better in that aspect is the Deck and as far as i know(since i also own the Deck since release myself) some of the Deck's initial problems took from 4 months up to a year to adress and many were not adressed by Valve themselves but by the community. Some are still not adressed at all actually. You can't remember when all SD UA-camrs and reviewers bandwagoning on the "things Valve still need to adress" videos that release near february? I do...
So my question is, if you think that Asus is incredibly slow, which competitor are you compering Asus to? Definitely not Aya, GPD even less, One is almost an outsider...None of them has a better customer support than Asus,by far. And they are the Ally's common competitors...
Thanks Filterless this is middle ground between 720 and 1080. I would agree with you best solution for ally reaching balance between performance and scenery.
100% it's a great setting. I found in a lot of games 1080p was just a bit too much, then 720p was too low. This is a really good balance :). Also check out RIS at the end, I think 900p with RIS On looks better than native 1080p.
@@filt3rless hehe was able to achieve 55c a drop of 5c and a steady 60 fps on bf1 just now using this resolution and lowering my wattage a bit on manuel, # Loving this!!
Question: Does this method mean that you're constantly switching between 900p mode to play games and 1080p to do things on your desktop? At 17:27 you say "When you are running 900p in a game..." and then at 17:41 you say "and for the Desktop, I recommend just running at 1080p."
Hello, I have a problem and I would like to install the original registry but I did not make a backup, could someone help me please?
You can just re-install the graphics driver from Asus. Asus now includes 900p in the driver itself so you'll always have 900p with Asus drivers now :)
I hope your channel blows up. You are putting out the best content out there for the Ally right now. I wish you owned a 7840u handheld as well so you can run comparisons with that chip as you did with the deck and ally. All the big channels seem to be too scared to risk upsetting any of the companies by doing those straight fps comparisons at different watts.
Thanks! :). If my channel does grow and it becomes more of a viable full time option, I'll definitely be grabbing a 7840u (or what the latest is at the time) and running real results. I tend to ignore a lot of the "paper" stats. I care about exactly what you said, the actual results.
Always coming in clutch bro! Thank you
Wow thanks so much! ❤. Glad the video helped out 🙂
Ris is blanked out on my armory crate. I cant add it to my shortcut button..
My first thought on it would be to re-install Armoury Crate. It's in the "MyAsus" app, and could be the quickest fix.
Can’t wait to try this out. I haven’t been playing the last couple of days. How are the triggers now? Still only have to push 50% to get to 100%?
I ended up going back to the old firmware. In the reddit post I made, someone shows how to do it. It's definitely a do at your own risk though, as it's not something I can safely say people should do. I did roll back though and my triggers are back to normal :). Here is the post if you're interested: www.reddit.com/r/ROGAlly/comments/15lo9eq/dont_update_to_mc_311_if_you_like_driving_games/
file didnt work for me ? still has the other res.
Beware i tried this and my XBOX app has starting giving issues where my entire D drive is invisible for it, and i seem unable to fix it.
Doing a full hard format on it, steam could still play games via de SD card and windows recognized it.
ps COULD be unlucky timing with the SD card failure due the heat, runs sub 65 C
Hey, check the description. I have 2 additional files that are "0020" that some Ally's are using. That one should work.
filterless is out here doing the lord's work
*For those people like me where this doesn't work right off the bat:*
Thanks to a Reddit comment, I was able to make it work! You need to edit the registry file so that it targets the correct key for your unit. There's apparently some variance in the Ally units, and some do not use the 0000 key for the graphics, but instead use 0020, so at the end of the 3rd line in the file (the one that starts with HKEY), change out the 0000 to 0020. Run the file, and then reboot. It should work then.
You can verify this in Regedit by navigating to the keys (aka folders) stated in the registry file. Once you get to the folder that starts with 4d36e968, you'll see about 30+ subfolders (0000, 0001, 0002, and so on). Most will contain the same values, but one will have a lot more variables, and that's the one you should target for your Ally.
Reposting this as a separate comment for visibility, apologies in advance @Filterless :D
Hey not a problem at all! Thanks a bunch for the info. I just created the 0020 one and uploaded it and replied to most people in the comments that were having issues to try it out :).

@@filt3rless Awesome!
RIS doesn't work for me in YUZU, but I used 900p and 0.75x scale, then FSR to 1080p. Works like a charm. Getting 35-40ish at 17W in ToTK. Needed 25W at 1080p before. Silent mode in AC plus set TDP in Handheld Companion = stable above 30 with silent fans. Thanks Filterless!
Nice! Glad it's working well. My results are similar, 900p is that sweet spot where we can lower wattage, less fan noise, and very close FPS. I really like :)
Do you HAVE to set the resolution at your desktop settings to 900 as well? Can’t you just let it be at 1080p and then adjust it to 900 in game’s menu ? That way our desktop and apps as armory crate will stay totally sharp. Otherwise does it work the other way around? If I have set the screen resolution to 900 but in game want to use 1080? Can I just change it the game or should it be changed at my desktop settings as well?
Hey, if you use RSR (Radeon Super Resolution), games that don't run full screen will use your desktop resolutions. So some games, like Diablo 4, won't run RSR if the desktop is at 1080p. If you are using RIS (Radeon Image Sharpening) you can use any resolution you'd like and there is no need to set the desktop to 900p as it works all the time. RSR is where you have to be below the native resolution, 1080p on the Ally, for it to be able to activate. Hope that helps :)
Change scale to 125% from 150% and Armoury Crate will scale correctly at 900P.
Hey thanks, nice catch! :) Should have tried that. I'm so used to keeping it 150% and leaving it as it helps make the text bigger for recordings so people can see it.
👍 you got it man. My pleasure helping you, especially after you helped us with this awesome 900P mod.
Would it be possible to adapt the script to remove all the useless resolution? Just adding 900p at 60/120hz.
I tried that, I went into the registry file itself to remove the hex values that corresponded with the other resolutions, and for some reason it still added them all. Then I went into the registry and tried deleting them from there, still didn't take the ones I deleted out of HEX off.
When I re-installed the AMD driver it seemed to erase all the resolutions, so if you don't want them and are okay with 720p/1080p you can re-install the driver to remove them. Or I'd assume when we get the new AMD drivers it'll erase it as well (OR AMD might add that feature back in so we can change it in AMD and set custom resolutions). I don't know why AMD or Asus isn't letting us just set custom resolutions in AMD.
Many thanks dude
Np man :)
Awesome 900p! Could you make us a video for the battery life in comparison to 720/900/1080p please :).
I am planning on doing a watt test to show FPS at all the different watts. I hadn't thought about doing a direct 1080 vs 900 vs 720, that could be an interesting comparison. I'll think about how I could implement it. It'd be a bit hard to due though as each game will be different. I think for battery savings your best bet is setting your watt limit to what you're comfortable using. Then adjusting each games settings/resolutions to get the FPS you want per game. Some games like FPS you'll want a lot higher than something like Diablo 4.
Solo tengo una pregunta ya que no domino tan bien el ingles en que resolucion, dejo el armory create en 720 o 1080, ya que por defecto vienes en 1080, la dejo en esa resolucion ?
You can leave it alone. It will show 720p, don't need to touch it. Just make sure game is running 900p and everything is good :)
can you do a video with RSR. set the in game display settings to 900p. RSR to upscale to the system 1080p display?
Hey that's a great idea. 900p with RSR should look and perform well, but I haven't done in-depth graphics/performance tests at 900p using it. I can say that Starfield does not like RSR and has a pretty big performance hit. I'll look into it more and see what kinds of differences there are at 900p with RSR on versus it being off.
I have a question this results are with the FSR on or off ?
this is actually huge
the best channel for Rog Ally contents 💯
im getting this file downloaded as mpeg (audio file). Anyone know how to fix this
At the top right you should see a download icon and you'll need to click on that. When you first load the drive it does look like an audio file. Just check up at the top right :)
can you not use RSR instead to upscale it back to 1080p? i imagine that would look even better than just RIS on at a lower resolution?
I have tested RSR vs RIS more in-depth in a video and i personally prefer RIS. Mainly because it just works at any resolution, including 1080p. Also it's always working when it's on, no matter what resolution you have in game. With RSR, you also run into issues when using windowed full screen games if your desktop isn't at a resolution lower than 1080p. And there is a performance hit using RSR, whereas there is 0 performance hit with RIS. I'd say try doing a comparison with RIS vs RSR, you might be surprised at the difference :)
I think if game have native FSR then use that but if it doesn't RSR not as good and RIS might be better option
@@TRX25EX RIS with FSR actually works really well. RIS is something you can leave on and never need to touch it. Even if you use FSR. I have compared RIS on vs off when using FSR and I much prefer the sharper look with RIS on.
I followed your instruction fully, but after I restart my Ally the only resolutions available are 1080p and 720p? Is there something I'm missing?
Hey, try this file. It appears that some Ally's are using a different folder in the registry for display settings: drive.google.com/file/d/136pLJXgii6UZr78Cq8cOKAqycAAFNcul/view?usp=drive_link
@@filt3rless That solved the problem, thank you for the help and fast reply
Brother I'm having trouble, games crash when I change the display settings, is there a way to clear the record and reset the display?
Thanks in advance
Hey, yes you can re-install the AMD driver completely to reset it. Check out this update video I just made, the AMD re-install is near the end and only takes a few minutes: ua-cam.com/video/5jO1F36KWOc/v-deo.html
@@filt3rless It is not necessary, I already saw that it caused me the problem, now it works very well with those resolutions 👌
Anyone know how to delete the other resolutions except 900p, 720p and 1080p?
I worked on this for a while and even editing the registry and removing the HEX values for the resolution didn't fix it. So I'm not sure. It's annoying, but I'd sure take it over not having them personally :)
Thank you very much it's already appreciated.
Also this have fix the issue with halo infinite where the HUD display wrongly on 720pand can run the game at 120 fps
Thank you! Glad it helped! :)
Why not just use 1080p with FSR? Wouldn't that effectively achieve the same results as 900p upscaling via RIS?
Hey, because a lot of games don't have FSR. And even something like cyberpunk where we are testing in this video the FPS, 900p is still a big jump in FPS. 900p with RIS is even better as there is 0 performance impact and it looks even sharper. So you'd be better off doing 900p, FSR & RIS. The reason to use 900p is because it's netting an additional 27% or so performance (no matter if FSR is on/off) when compared to 1080p.
Ris makes it even better
any tips for icons? i tried large,medium and small but theyre all spaced out.
Hey, the icons on your desktop?
If i download this 900p, Can I change the resolution back to 1080p or 720 through the armory crate, or do I need to uninstall everything to be able to access normal settings? I just wanted to understand this better. Thanks guys
You can freely switch between any resolution that's available
@@diamondgrape543 by the armory crate?
Hey, when you are running 900p it will show "720p" in command center. If you tap on the 720p button, it'll switch it to 1080p and you'll no longer be at 900p. So if you're wanting to run 900p, you'll want to set that resolution in the game, and then leave Command Center alone. You can change back to any of the resolutions you'd like at any time by hitting the button, or I'd recommend setting the game you're currently playing to the resolution you want to use.
Hope that helps :)

Trying this on f1 23 but game image is to far to the right so some elements of game screen cannot be seen? Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I've tried keeping desktop to 1080p and make 900p in-game and tried deaktop at 900p and in-game 900p...same result, image to far to the right.
One thing you could try is making sure that scaling is set to 100%, restart your machine and try again. Sometimes windows scaling can cause weird issues in games. So you'll want to right click the desktop --> display --> change scaling to 100%. The text will be really small but it's worth a shot. Let me know :)
@@filt3rless thanks for reply...it seems the cause was I had the game added to AMD adrenaline software which was forcing RSR , although the RSR toggle was off...I disabled in AMD software and put scaling back to 150, seems to be working ok, will test further with F1 and other games...👍
@@ryanpersuadful That's good to know that RSR caused that. If you liked that extra sharpness, try out RIS (Radeon Image Sharpening). It won't do anything like that, as it just sharpens the image. I'd just make sure you toggle it on without any games open, so it's just on across the board. It's what I use at 900p and I love the results :)
@@filt3rless Thanks... I've got RIS on @80% and looks good, will try out a few more games in coming days.👍
It’s there a rollback file? My disable/enable game pad icon is gone from the quick tools. And can’t add it again after running the registry
I'd try restarting the system first just to make sure it's still not there. If not, you can try uninstalling/re-installing the AMD Driver as it should remove the resolutions.
Edit: Also just re-installing Armoury Crate could fix it and is pretty easy to do. Just got to MyAsus and download the Armoury Crate / Aura installer.
@@filt3rless I rebooted a couple of time. But still missing. I’ll do the reinstalls and see if that helps.
@@soulsearch7383 Okay, I'd try just doing Armoury Crate first to see. I've had that happen to me before (without the resolution registry file), and I have no idea what caused it. Not sure if you've used something like Handheld Companion or reWASD, but that could be affecting it.
Looks like im making the change to 900p! Thanks for the heavy lifting my friend! Love the info you get out here for us.
Doesn't AMD RSR do this already ? Just dropped the resolution down automatically to improve frame rates.
RSR does upscale the image. So as long as the game was started in 720p, it will upscale to make it look more like 1080p. However 900p with RIS (Radeon Image Sharpening) is FAR better IMO. I even have a video comparing 720p RSR vs 720p RIS, and I personally prefer the look of the RIS image. Then you can bump that up to 900 and it looks even better (where it's competing and maybe even beating out 1080p): ua-cam.com/video/at6RXXjpfB4/v-deo.html
Have tried everything, can't seem to get the settings to show after restart. Any advice?
Hey, try this one: drive.google.com/file/d/15T4b7Unbtbgtdc5vLStXUiXUwChZ2tpr/view?usp=sharing
I try it and it don’t work for me.. It’s only for playing on a external display ? I don’t have all that choice in desktop mod only 720/1080 and nothing in game
That is strange. It worked for me. You have to change the resolution in-game. It won't show up in command center. It'll show "720p" in command center, but if you go to the resolutions in game, you should have 1600x900.
@@filt3rless i have nothing in desktop mod and nothing in game, i run the link then restart
@@sharlatandjaul3739Have you ever used a program called CRU (Custom Resolution Utility)? I'm wondering if CRU might have conflicted with the file. If not, I'm not too sure what it could be. I've tested this setup before I re-imaged my device and right after a brand new image and it works without issue. It could even be some weird glitch with Windows. Windows seems to run into really strange issues randomly.
@@filt3rless Yes i use cru for VRR range (have a range of 20/120hz)
@@sharlatandjaul3739 I think CRU is probably messing with the settings. Also I tested the VRR range in CRU and found it's not actually doing anything. You can even set it to 1hz - 300hz and it does nothing. I thought I saw the difference at first, but then realized it was more placebo effect after hours and hours of testing. I also tested it on my Asus laptop as well as external monitors, and I would immediately get black screens going below 40Hz, and on my Asus Freesync display I could only get to 45Hz.
The LFC (Low Framerate Compensation) is why it's still looking good under 48Hz. You might want to "reset-all" in CRU, then click "restart64", then restart your machine and see if the resolutions show up. If they don't, then try running it again. If they still don't then CRU might have conflicted with it. Hope the information helps.
Amazing stuff man, amazing
Gonna give it a go!
I don’t need to make the desktop 900P only the game right? The only time I make the desktop 900P is if I need to play the game windowed mode I assume based on your video
Moreover, is there a way to toggle resolution from G helper? I don’t think so, I need to do it via settings right?
Keep up the great work dude!
Great question
You're 100% right, 900p on desktop is only if you run into a weird game that runs windowed / windowed full screen and won't change properly.
I don't think there is a way to change it in G-Helper, just have to go to windows settings.
Also don't toggle the "720p" option in command center. It'll show 720p even when you're at 900p, if you touch it, it'll bump the system between 1080p/720p.
Thanks man :)
@@filt3rless Thanks! oh no worries, I don't use Armory Crate anymore, only G Helper after your last video ;) I just hope that they make it capable to pop up during gaming full screen (still kind of buggy for me)
By the way, the MB+Up arrow key doesn't bring up the keyboard because I removed it by mistake back then. To bring it back I guess I have to install AC and remap it. If you know another method out of AC that would be great :)
Have a nice day ahead!
@@Jankylulu I re-imaged my system and noticed that the keyboard shortcut hasn't worked at all, even with Asus stuff installed. But I didn't do a cloud restore, I used a USB drive so that could be part of it.
I need to cover reWASD as I think you'd like that a lot. I have the G-Helper power modes mapped to a "shift" mode so I can change them without using the Command Center/ROG button. Along with a LOT of other shortcuts, like Alt+tab, mouse/click, volume up/down, brightness up/down, all while in a game not needing to open anything.
I'm hoping to cover it soon. Still working out the best layout. Appreciate it, have a good one yourself! :)
@@filt3rless thanks! I’ll look out for that video then :)
What quality was FH5? It was never mentioned I believe.
Also 720p with RSR or 900p? 🤔
Opps you're right, I completely cut out the graphics settings. I'm running the Medium preset, but I turned MSAA from x2 to x4. It really makes the edges look a bit sharper at MSAA x4.
Thanks and yes I run 4x MSAA as well as 2x wasn't cutting it. I just saw you mentioning RIS so I might try that as well now.
@@volcalstone I think you'll like RIS. I like 900p with RIS on more than 1080p with it off. Near the end of the video I have a couple comparisons of RIS so you can see the difference. I like RIS more than RSR, and I've been using RIS on my AMD based laptops now for years, it's awesome!
@@volcalstone Definitely give it a shot, you'll probably never want to turn it off. If it's too sharp, I'd go into AMD and lower it down some. But overall it's something I run on at all times on all my Asus devices, including laptops that have AMD chips.
Is it reversible? Is it possible to undo the changes made in case of any problems?
Yes, however I can't 100% guarantee anything on the Ally. Even Asus updates have messed up my controls and other things on the device. I trust this more than Asus updates. Here is a video where you can re-install the AMD Graphics Driver to remove the changes. Also I've uploaded updated registry files so you don't get all the useless resolutions. There is even one for just 900p to be added if you'd like: ua-cam.com/video/5jO1F36KWOc/v-deo.html
I still can't get the 1600 x 900 option to show. Tried rerunning both and no-go 😢
Hey, have you used an XG Mobile at all? I heard some of those are targeting the 0021 folder. If you open the regedit file with notepad, you'll see at the very end on the first line it'll show "\0000" at the end. The second file I uploaded had "\0020". It could be worth doing 0021. I can change it and send you the file if you'd like. I currently don't have my windows PC hooked up, but let me know and I can get it hooked up, change the file and upload it :)
@@filt3rless I actually responded on another video of yours where the guy mentioned the 0021 folder and sure enough that was the issue. All fixed now. Appreciate reaching out
@@brandonp1985 Sweet! :). Also if you haven't tried it yet, try turning on RSR. I found at 900p it's looking pretty good.
Just made this change today and WOW y’all aren’t kidding. It looks great with awesome FPS
It is awesome :) I run it on basically every game now. Also try turning on RSR (Radeon Super Resolution) if you haven't. Makes it look just like 1080p with great performance.
I installed this and it messed up my system. Couldn't change brightness, the AMD software became completely unresponsive, and I couldn't change resolution to anything that wasn't 1080p. Also, my on-screen keyboard was gone for good.
Had to factory reset. I don't know if it will happen to everyone but just be aware of this.
Hey, just wanted to check, are you using an SD Card?
@@filt3rless Hi, I do have one in the system but I haven't used it for anything yet
@@howtoby27 Okay, the issue you described actually sounds like what was happening when my reader failed and I had an SD Card Issue. AMD was one of the first things I noticed that would just go white and lock up with the SD Card In. You should try copying a file to that SD card, if your system becomes almost frozen, it's your reader that's going out. If you pop out the SD Card when it feels frozen, it should immediately become responsive again. I'm not saying this is it for sure, I just don't think the registry file is the cause of the issues you're having.
After I installed the registry the watt is fixed on 14-15 and modifying the watts isn't doing anything. Is there a way to fix it?
Which program are you using for modifying the watts? I'd suggest restarting one more time while plugged in, then unplug/re-plug the system in and see if that fixes it. This file isn't touching anything with power settings so that is really strange.
@@filt3rless Armory Crate. Restarted two times, plugged and unplugged. Another problem i can see is its consuming 7-8w when in plain desktop, and in games it's not going above or below 14-15w in neither silent nor turbo
@@lightsf9771 One last thing I'd check is click the arrow down at the bottom right and see if there is anything running that is limiting the watts. It could be Handheld Companion, G-Helper, Etc. I'm not sure if you've used or are using any 3rd party programs that can limit watts, but it sounds like something is running. If you've used Handheld Companion and have it installed, I'd start it up and make sure there isn't a watt limit set in it.
@@filt3rless I don't have any of those installed. It started after the registry change. I commented right after. Anyway I'm going to uninstall and reinstall AC and see if it fixes the issue.
@@lightsf9771 Okay, sorry about that messing up. I think there could have been a very weird coincidence because the registry is just adding options in for resolutions. It isn't changing anything on the power side of things. That is really strange. Let me know what you find and I'll try to help out the best I can.
I only have 2 options on windows display settings 720 and 1080 😢
Hey, did you run the registry file? If you did and it's still not working, you can try to re-install the AMD driver and then run the registry file again as I show in this video: ua-cam.com/video/5jO1F36KWOc/v-deo.html
My Xbox app don't work anymore after this..I have to reinstall windows
You can re-install the AMD Driver to reset the settings back to default if you run into issues. Here is a link to an updated video that shows how to re-install it: ua-cam.com/video/5jO1F36KWOc/v-deo.html
Does this activities to make ROG Ally better will cause a void on the warranty?
This will not void the warranty, and it helps with FPS. However, if your uncertain about it, it might be better to not do it. I really enjoy using 900p for the extra performance though. I also did a follow up video where you can remove/re-add the driver to revert the changes(ua-cam.com/video/5jO1F36KWOc/v-deo.html). But I'd only suggest doing it, if it's something your comfortable with. The Ally is still an amazing device even using 1080p and 720p :)
@@filt3rless thanks! How about the g-helper? Will it void the warranty?
I can't see the 900p option, only 1080p and 720p... Help pls
After running the file you restarted? And you're going into the game itself to change it right? You won't see 900p in Command Center. Command Center will always show 720p/1080p.
Use the download link in his description and then restart the ally. It’ll pop up. U can even do 800p but i think 900p is better
@@fresco_dinero5155 There are 6 options now that are 16:9. You can even use 1760x990 if you want something in-between 900p and 1080p or 1366x768 for something slightly higher than 720p.
If you ran the file and it's still not working, you might need to try this file instead: drive.google.com/file/d/136pLJXgii6UZr78Cq8cOKAqycAAFNcul/view?usp=drive_link
900p (fps gain and lower battery consumption) beast when using it in battery mode, better than 702+RSR.
if i setting 800p/medium i think better than fps 900p and better than 720p quality right
Now, if you want improve even more the image quality, even on 720p, try to activate amd shaperning feature on the adrenaline software
THANKS
How can we revert these registry changes?
Re-installing the AMD driver from "MyAsus" seemed to have taken them off for me.
Can you somehow try TW WH3 even just the demo? Thank you
Hey, the Ally should be able to run that game, however, you'd want it to be docked with a keyboard/mouse. It'd be almost impossible to play on the Ally itself in handheld mode.
Why not just use the 720p with AMD redon auto scaling for graphics?
720p definitely still looks good and something that's worth using if you like it. I can definitely see a pretty big jump going from 720p to 900p though, and personally I really like 900p. RSR (Radeon Super Resolution) is pretty good, and you can use RIS (Radeon Image Sharpening) which will give you even more performance. There is a small performance hit when using RSR as I show in this video: ua-cam.com/video/at6RXXjpfB4/v-deo.html
i get better results at 900p, is you are using RSR disable it for 900p it does affect performance for 5 to 7 fps, only use it at 720p, at 900 or 1080 just use RIS
now we need Asus to give us the official option I guess 🤔
i can not see the 900p settings only 720p
Did you run the registry file? If so, here is another version that might work: drive.google.com/file/d/1xiZ3PkkWs8keEDQpeO-NJ3GfO0F6OAlw/view?usp=sharing

How u make real live monitor like that?
Hey, it's a custom built overlay using MSI Afterburner and Riva Tuner. The overlay editor is inside Riva Tuner. Unfortunately I don't have any videos out on how to set it up, and it's a bit complicated to learn. There are a lot of tutorials on UA-cam though that will get you started. And I might make one at some point in the future.
900p is the sweet spot for docked gaming on the steam deck too, it's honestly so good for visuals and performance
It's really great, super happy to have 900p now and be able to set most games to it. I haven't tried 900p on the Steam Deck, I might have to give that a go, maybe even compare the Ally to the Deck at 900p.
@@filt3rless that would be quite the interesting video.

Have installed this and restarted a few times and there are no additional resolutions. Anyone else experiencing this?

@@sharlatandjaul3739 was thinking i was the only one with this issue. i have no idea what i'm doing wrong? i installed and restarted. it doesn't seem to work. After that i did reinstalled AC hoping that would fix it. it did not. depressing.
@@LaoShimazaki same installed and restarded and nothings..
@@LaoShimazakiHey just to make sure you're trying to change the resolution in the game settings right? AC will always show 720p (even when you are at 900p). So you can't use command center, but have to change it in the game itself. I know you probably are, just wanted to make sure though :)
I would use CRU. Add 900p plus increase the vrr range to 30 hz
Me too
From my testing of CRU it doesn't work on the Ally. You can set it to 1Hz - 300Hz and nothing happens, even when capping FPS to 10. I also tested 2 freesync monitors as well as an Asus laptop and it does work on those, I started black screening around 40Hz on the monitors and at 45Hz on the Asus laptop. If CRU was changing the refresh rate, setting it to 300Hz would immediately black screen the device and you'd have to hit F8 to recover.
@@filt3rless are you sure its not working?
ua-cam.com/video/2w8WKCUrSbw/v-deo.html
Here WDT had a side by side comparison and *eyeball* test does look better with vrr to 30hz vs not
@@Drivenby I'm just about positive it doesn't work. I recorded in slow motion 120Hz at 1080p, there is 0 difference. Maybe some Allys are different than others and it works on some, but if they're all using similar displays/hardware, I don't think it's working. An easy test though would be to set the low end Hz at 1, then cap the FPS at 20. If it's not black screening, it's not working.
I need to start releasing the stuff I make 🤦♂. I set mine up to only have resoutions that are the correct aspect ratio for the ally
You should, if you don't mind sharing how you did it I'd love to know :). I messed around with the registry and tried removing the HEX values for the resolutions I didn't want, but they're still there.

Well you want to run everything with the native screen resolution, anything lower than that then it's gonna look like ass.
Thank you very much for answering my request, finally i can get my sweet 60 fps in 900p without washed image!
Not a problem :) Also using RIS (Radeon Image Sharpening) at 900p makes the image look amazing. I have that near the end of the video. I think 900p with RIS looks better than 1080p with RIS off. So that's a great way to get a 1080p like image and still get the extra performance of 900p. It's what I always use and it's been working great.
I don’t have the 900p option. Everything is updated.
In the video is explained how to enable this option, look carefully and till the end :)
on the other hand it is not yet very stable, there are small bugs with Armory Crate
