Running the game on ROG ALLY alone?

[Aieonae]

Any speculations? if its possible? I had strong suspicion I might end up running the game in 720p, locking 60fps. Not too much confidence on the quality department though... hopefully 2-3 months is sufficient for ALLY to iron out its end of its bargain.

Probably 720p30 low if you're lucky on the Ally, maybe a little less on the Steam Deck. Hardware's too weak, they're targeting 30 fps on the Series X(!) so there you have it

Yea, wasn't holding high hopes in quality exactly, was hoping a 720p 60, medium at best. It's a window environment after all not exactly a console.

But 2-3 months is a lot of time to beef up optimisations. Just not sure if it's enough.

Also from where I read the specifications on the ALLY ain't exactly that weak given it's pretty much tie with 6 year old high end PC run score.

Of which, I have a 7 year old Alienware laptop tether to a AGA with a Titan XP in it. It can do Fallout 4 on high, 1080p with 50-60s FPS.

The same system also run Cyberpunk 2077 on medium-high(custom setting), 1080p with 50-60 FPS.

To me it's entirely possible, it just I am not too sure if both ASUS and Bethesda willing to work around both hardware configuration and software optimisations.

The Series X is said to be running at a little above 1080p, but they never disclosed the settings... I just don't know, too early to tell. The Z1 Extreme is quite powerful when we talk iGPUs but close to even your old Titan Xp it's not really much to brag about.

I'm hoping I get a 1080p/60fps fully maxed out with all the optionals experience with my RTX 3090, the rest of my system is extremely powerful (i9-13900KS, 32 GB tightened DDR5, etc.) but I can't afford an upgrade for my GPU - and I am asking 1080p here so, fingers crossed. Knowing Bethesda that might be too much though...

Indeed, a RTX 3060 enclosed in an eGPU paired with a I7 Pocket 3 was more than sufficient to outdo that old setup.

So I believe your setup should be more than sufficient for a enjoyable time with regards to the game.

Which is also why I had drag the expection down a fair bit for ALLY.

Series S 1440p 30 fps so I think 1080p 30 fps is manageable on the ally.

Its upscaled to 1440p and actually rendered below 1080p with a GPU between a 590 and 1660 and the Ally is about a 1650. I have to doubt It will run but id guess 720p 30fps low/med settings.

If you are going to even try it, you will need to increase ally's vram to 8gb because the default is around 6 or less IIRC. There's also the issue of heat if you are going to increase it beyond its default spec.

I am running it on UMA 8GB on the bios, it's technically the same thing in the GPU VRAM allocation, since doing it in bios also overrides armory settings.

As for the heat, the fans are noticable in both noise and blasting heat out the left exhaust vent running most AAA titles.

Having faith it shouldn't be that bad an experience, frankly I am since surprise it runs AAA decently at all.

There actually something like 1296p or very close to that base res and then upscaled to 1440p last gen 4K this gen with FSR balanced settings most likly.
