Digital Foundry - Asus ROG Ally Review vs Steam Deck: The Fastest PC Handheld... But Is It The Best?

Watch Digital Foundry Video: Digital Foundry - Asus ROG Ally Review vs Steam Deck: The Fastest PC Handheld... But Is It The Best?.
Weeks in the works and delayed owing to BIOS issues, our review of the Asus ROG Ally is finally complete. We're looking at the highest specification PC handheld we've seen yet with the Z1 Extreme processor paired with fast memory and a 1080p 120Hz VRR panel. But we're also looking at Windows 11 - which has traditionally performed poorly in the handheld space. This is clearly the most powerful PC mobile device around - but is it the best?

    Anything from slower than a 3060 Ti to (a bit) faster than a 3070, the reality is that RTX 4060 Ti just doesn't do enough to justify its price-point - and if you want enough memory to fully futureproof your GPU for the triple-A games to come, you'll need to spend another $100... in two months time. Efficiency is a strong point, DLSS 3 has its uses in a mainstream build, but beyond that, this is a disappointment. Subscribe for more Digital Foundry: htt
