Slower than the Steam Deck OLED – Asus ROG Xbox Ally handheld review

[Redaktion]

The ROG Xbox Ally is Asus's more affordable take on its new handheld line. At €599, it goes head-to-head with Valve's Steam Deck OLED, but under the hood it still runs on AMD's older Zen 2 architecture, limiting performance gains.

I'm buying the GPD Win 5, the one with AI Max 395 and Radeon 8060s.

I'm confused, you say it preforms poorly but in all the charts it's above average. I feel like the idea is it's not performing as well as expected but it definitely doesn't look like it preforms poor.

You Can Display All That Mombo Jombo All Day Long.. However, Majority Of Us Gamers, Didn't Buy The Steam Deck Bc Of The OS, And We Didn't Buy It Bc Of The Way It Looks Or Performed. Now Keep In Mind, Steam Deck Os, Software, Gaming Library All Fantastic.. However, Many Of Us Bought It, Bc Some Games Never Really Worked Well With Previous Portables Before The Deck, And We All Love, Loved The Steam Controller. We Invested Into The Deck, Bc It Has "Track Pads." You Can't Justify A Windows Handheld For Gaming Without Those Pads, I Don't Care How Good Of A Processor It Has. Without Those Track Pads, None Of Those Competitors Will Defeat Steam Deck. Period.
