![]() Cyberpunk 2077 mostly stayed within the 35 to 45 fps range at 720p but barely managed to hit 30 fps at 1080p. Spider-Man fared best out of the two, with framerates gliding between 35 to 55 fps at 720p and the high 20s and low 30s at 1080p. Spider-Man and Cyberpunk 2077 are both open-world games so it wasn’t surprising that neither achieved similar performance to Doom Eternal. Switching between 120Hz and 60Hz didn’t affect performance, though 120Hz made the game feel smoother to play. That’s close to what I saw on Steam Deck, which tops out at 720p. Frame rates tumbled at 1080p, where they ranged between 35 to 45 fps. Doom Eternal was the big winner, with frame rates remaining in the high 50s and low 70s, depending on how much action was happening on screen. In fact, Ally’s Geekbench results are comparable to the MSI Cyborg 15 gaming laptop (1,851 / 10,674, respectively).Īs for my own testing, I found the Ally performed better at 720p resolution at medium settings with the refresh rate locked to 60Hz. This obliterates the Steam Deck’s Geekbench scores of 834 and 3,579, respectively. ![]() ![]() The handheld notched a single-core score of 1,933 and a multi-core score of 10,614. We also ran the ROG Ally through Geekbench 5, which measures CPU performance. However, based on our testing, we found that the Ally’s performance didn’t live up to what was promised. In fact, this is something Asus has directly stated. On paper, the ROG Ally is twice as powerful as the Steam Deck. In comparison, the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme has eight Zen 4 cores and 12 RDNA 3 compute units. This chip has four Zen 2 cores and eight RDNA 2 compute units. The Steam Deck also uses an AMD APU, but its CPU is based on Zen 2 architecture while the GPU uses RDNA 2. ![]() The Ryzen Z1 Extreme is a custom Zen 4 RDNA3 4nm APU. This processor is built on x86 architecture and is compatible with Windows 11. The new chip features 8 cores and 16 threads and has the efficiency of Zen 4 architecture, according to AMD. The Asus ROG Ally packs an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor. The Steam Deck can’t match the ROG Ally here. In both our lab testing and hands-on experience, the ROG Ally provides an overall better viewing experience thanks to its higher resolution and superior color reproduction. Games look phenomenal on the Asus ROG Ally's sharp 1080p display.
