Microsoft's new Xbox full-screen experience does not improve the gaming performance

[Redaktion]

The Asus ROG Xbox Ally X is the first device with Microsoft's new Xbox full-screen mode. Using Windows on the handheld is now easier, but there is no performance advantage and SteamOS still has a clear advantage.

Yeah, bur using Game Pass games with Steam OS sucks

Many Handhelds like the OG ALly or the new XBOX Base model only have 16gb ram and are pre set to use 4 of that as vram. Now with the FSE you could up this to 6 without fear of running to low on RAM. Would that not make a difference on heavier games?

I have my OG ROG Ally setup to dual boot SteamOS and Windows 11. Works great! I boot to Windows for Game Pass and SteamOS for my Steam games. Definitely a difference in performance with SteamOS. Either way, both work great for me for the games I play. Heavier titles I use my PC or XSX.
