**Experimenting with Advanced Graphics Features on the AMD Rog Allyx**

As an enthusiast of gaming and technology, I was eager to test out some advanced graphics features on my new device, the AMD Rog Allyx. To do this, I started by looking at how well it handles popular games at high settings. The first game I wanted to try was Left 4 Dead 2, a classic title that is known for its fast-paced action and challenging gameplay. I set up the game at high settings, maxing out all of the graphics options, and then turned on Frame Generation (FG) to see if it would improve performance.

To my surprise, playing Left 4 Dead 2 at 1440p with Frame Generation enabled resulted in average frame rates in the mid 80s. I was expecting higher performance, as the game is known to run well on lower-end hardware, such as the Steam Deck. However, this was still impressive, and I realized that the Rog Allyx's powerful AMD processor and dedicated GPU were capable of handling demanding games at high resolutions.

Next, I decided to try out a fighting game, specifically Street Fighter V, which is notoriously difficult to play on lower-end hardware. I set up the game with various graphics settings and enabled Frame Generation, but also threw in some additional features from AMD's Adrenaline software, including Fluid Motion Frames (FMF). To my surprise, the game still ran relatively smoothly, with average frame rates above 60 FPS.

However, when I tried out another popular fighting game, After Burner, which is known for its fast-paced action and challenging gameplay, I was disappointed to find that it struggled to run at all. The game would stutter and slow down significantly, even with Frame Generation enabled. This was likely due to the fact that After Burner does not natively support Fluid Motion Frames, so I had to rely on AMD's Adrenaline software to enable them.

I also decided to try out some older games, such as Skyrim and Horizon Forbidden West, which are known for their high graphics demands. To my surprise, both games ran relatively smoothly at 1440p, with average frame rates above 60 FPS in low settings. However, when I enabled Frame Generation and Fluid Motion Frames (in the case of Horizon Forbidden West), performance improved significantly, with frame rates well over 100 FPS.

Finally, I decided to try out Cyberpunk 2077, which is known for its demanding graphics requirements. To my surprise, the game ran relatively smoothly at 1440p in low settings, even without Frame Generation or Fluid Motion Frames enabled. However, when I did enable these features, performance improved significantly, with average frame rates above 78 FPS.

Overall, my experiments with advanced graphics features on the AMD Rog Allyx were largely successful. While some games struggled to run smoothly, others performed impressively, especially when enabled with Frame Generation and Fluid Motion Frames. As I continue to test and refine these features, I am excited to see how they will improve performance and enhance the gaming experience.

**Battery Life Tests**

As part of my testing, I also wanted to see how long the Rog Allyx could run on a single battery charge. To do this, I set up various power-saving profiles and monitored the device's battery level over time. Overall, I was pleased to find that the Rog Allyx's battery life was impressive, with some games lasting well over 4 hours on a single charge.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, my experiments with advanced graphics features on the AMD Rog Allyx were largely successful. While some games struggled to run smoothly, others performed impressively, especially when enabled with Frame Generation and Fluid Motion Frames. As I continue to test and refine these features, I am excited to see how they will improve performance and enhance the gaming experience.

As for my recommendations, I would suggest playing older games like Left 4 Dead 2 at 1080p in dock mode, where performance is generally more stable. However, if you're looking to play newer games at high resolutions, the Rog Allyx's advanced graphics features make it well worth considering.

**Future Testing and Reviews**

In the coming weeks, I will be doing some additional testing on the Rog Allyx, including more in-depth reviews of various games and hardware configurations. If there's anything specific you'd like to see me test or review, please let me know in the comments below!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enas it turns out the Rog Alx can run some games at 1440p in dock mode even without any kind of resolution scale so no FSR here what's going on everybody it's ETA Prime back here again today we're going to be checking out some 1440p dock mode gaming on the allnew Asus Rog allyx and I know this might sound a little odd because this is a handheld but there are people out there who use their handheld as their main PC and I wanted to see if we could actually game at 1440 P I completely understand how FSR works and with some of these games yeah we're definitely going to need to enable a little bit of FSR maybe even some fluid motion frames but for some of these games they actually ran natively at 1440p and I was pretty impressed first things first obviously we're using the Asus Rog Alx and when it comes to this dock this is a JX RGB dock it will do up to 4K 60 1440p 120 and I'm connected to this Lenovo monitor that does up to 1440p 250 Hertz and from Armory crate SE there is something that I definitely want to do here now while plugging this into Power which we've got here plugged into this dock with power going to the wall it will default to turbo mode but we can get a little more out of it by going to settings performance and instead of turbo mode we're going to go to manual mode from here we've got an SPL of 30 wats this is going to be our sustained Apu limit 30 WTS across the board no matter what 43 Watts for 2 minutes and 53 Watts for 10 seconds now I have tried some thirdparty apps like x86 tuning utility and right now I just can't get it over that 30 watt continuously when that happens we will see a little better performance at these higher resolutions but for now we're going to be using Armory crate SE in manual mode so with all that out of the way let's go ahead and jump into it and the first games I want to show off here do run natively at 1440p no scaling here no fluid motion frames we're going to be starting with Warframe obviously we can't run it 1440p on the built-in screen so I did have to turn it off to Able 1440p on this larger monitor but going into the settings here what we've got is 1440p 120 HZ and I do have this set the low I think we could actually probably go to medium but I at low just to see how high we could take it 100% resolution scale and I know this is an older one it's been out for a while it is pretty easy to run but running this on a handheld at 1440p and dock mode over 100 FPS is pretty awesome and I personally love this game by the way I've got an Xbox controller connected over Bluetooth to the Lix and even though we've got this set at low it still looks really good on this larger display I mean it's Crystal Clear here I wouldn't mind playing it like this and I'm sure going up to high we got more effects and everything like that but even at low 1440p this is still a really good looking game and we took a look at Armory crate we're in manual mode we've got that boost up to 53 Watts but 53 Watts with uh using Armory crate SE only lasts for 10 seconds and it was 42 Watts I believe is 2 minutes so going into the game we were up there at those higher tdps but it's dropped back down to 30 watts and we're still able to run it this well and remember we don't have to worry about battery right now we're plugged into the wall so even if I could just go up to 53 Watts continuously I definitely would do it next game we have here is OverWatch 2 and we'll get into the set real quick 1440p 100% resolution scale as you can see here we're not scaling it down any we've got a low medium mix going right now and I probably should have taken it all the way down to low here during a firefight it does drop down into the mid 60s but you know we're over that 60 Mark and once we get up into the fight you'll see exactly what I'm talking about here again you know since we've gotten to the game it's over that 2-minute Mark we're down to 30 Watts that's one of the reasons I really want to get like x86 tuning utility working on this properly on the original Rog Ally I've actually got a couple apps that we can set the TDP up to around 53 and it will stay there continuously but for some reason at least the way they've got it set up right now it does still drop back down I also wanted to test out ginch and impact at 1440p and even at low settings 60fps here we do see a couple dips under 60 nothing major I mean down to around 58 when there's lots of particles on screen and we've got this set at 60 full screen 1440p looking at about the lowest settings but I mean I think the game still looks good lots of beautiful colors here and this one does run really decently so I'll just let this go ahead and play out then we're going to move over to my game capture just to make it a little easier to see everything h all right so here's Forza Horizon 5 1440p still using that JS doc plugged into my game capture no FSR we're at a true 1440p resolution give you a look set to 120 FPS no Fidelity Cass or anything like that and when I say medium settings it is medium but I've got a little bit of a custom thing going I usually turn off SSR quality just completely disable it and if I was to go go up to high I'd turn off raid tracing also it's just not enabled at medium but yeah this runs so well at 1440p in dock mode and keep in mind I mean we are not using any kind of scaling so it is a native 1440p with Forza Horizon 5 on this Apu and I'll tell you what I personally don't mind using FSR or even frame generation as long as the game still looks good and with something like this at 1440p if I was to enable FSR take it to let's say balance we could probably get up into the hundreds with this setup just like it is at 1440p but I really wanted to see if we could do it at Native and yeah I mean it's actually running much better than I thought it would I also wanted to throw an older one in here and I did test out Skyrim at 1440p that game will run at 120 Herz medium settings at 1440p But Here We Have Left for Dead 2 we're at very high setting so it's maxed out and I actually thought we'd see a little better performance out of this game given that you know it does run really well on the steam deck at 1080 and dock mode we're seeing averages in the mid 80s here I figured we'd be over 100 but going down to high I'm sure we could really up that frame rate okay so moving over to a fighting game and I do not recommend playing fighting games like this this was kind of an experiment I wanted to see if it would work I've got the uh built-in AMD counter up in the top leftand corner and this is because I'm using fluid motion frames from amd's adrenaline software I personally don't recommend using fluid motion frames with fighting games especially if you're playing competitively online or with your buddies this feels super weird this is actually the first time I've ever tried it with any fighting game and uh you know the r allyx can run this at 1080p low settings with some FSR but right now we are at 1440p medium no FSR fluid motion frames on and we're well over 60 the next one we have here is Horizon forbidden West and recently we got an update so we can enable fluid motion frames directly from the settings we actually don't need to go into the adrenaline software low settings FSR is set to Performance obviously we've got that fluid motion frames on and we are over 60 but I mean it's a little all over the place definitely feels really wonky and I did go through and test it with the uh fluid motion frames from adrenaline it seems to perform just a bit better but not by much at 1440p so this is one of those games this little igpu just isn't going to be able to handle at 1440 even with FSR set to Performance and fluid motion frames on and the final one I wanted to test here was cyberpunk 2077 we're at 1440p low settings fluid motion frames on from adrenaline software again that's why I'm using the overlay unfortunately uh when it comes to like After Burner it just won't pick those up unless it's built into the game and I actually wasn't expecting to see this kind of performance even though we're at low settings I don't have FSR on right now we're just using frame gen we're seeing an average of around 78 FPS with this game and one thing I've really noticed with these apus be it the uh 7840 U the 8845 HS or anything like that with an rdna 3 igpu is with low wattages using fluid motion frames it does feel a little odd but taking that wattage up unfortunately we can't go over 30 right now for more than 2 minutes on the Rog Alx it really does smooth everything out it just takes a little bit more power to generate those extra frames for us and as soon as I can get some type of third party software properly working on this to take that TDP up even though let's say 38 to 40 WTS continuously I think we'll see much better performance at 1440p but it's still pretty impressive if you ask me now I personally don't recommend running these games at 1440p of course for the older stuff yeah you want to do some Half Lives some portals some Left 4 Dead 2 1440p dock mode works out really well stick to 1080 even in dock mode and you'll have some great performance with this device I've been doing a ton of testing with this I will have my full review coming up as soon as I can post everything I've got some benchmarks battery life this thing's been working out really well it's my go-to handheld right now but in the meantime if there's anything else you want to see running on the Rog allyx let me know in the comments below I wouldn't mind making a couple more videos before we can get to the full reviews but that's going to wrap it up for this one and like always thanks for watchingas it turns out the Rog Alx can run some games at 1440p in dock mode even without any kind of resolution scale so no FSR here what's going on everybody it's ETA Prime back here again today we're going to be
