How to get more FPS on the ROG Ally

  1. TDP mode
    The maximum power mode gives more FPS but drains the battery faster; light games are fine in the power-saving mode.
  2. Frame cap
    The ROG Ally display runs at up to 120 Hz; in heavy games cap at 40–60 FPS for steadier frame pacing and longer battery life.
  3. Resolution
    Lowering the resolution is the strongest lever; on a small screen 720p–800p looks decent.
  4. FSR upscaling
    FSR (in-game or system RSR/FSR) adds frames; DLSS is not available on AMD-based devices.
  5. Preset
    Start with the low preset, then raise textures if memory allows — they barely affect FPS.

FAQ

Will Portal run on the ROG Ally
Yes, Portal will run on the ASUS ROG Ally: 47–59 FPS at 1920×1080 on low (43–59 FPS on medium) — comfortable with a 40 FPS cap.
What settings should I use for Portal on the ROG Ally?
For 30+ FPS — 1920×1080 on the High preset (38–59 FPS by the FPSHQ model).
Where does FPSHQ get its data?
From four sources: official developer and Steam system requirements (151,290 games), hardware manufacturers' specifications (1,965 GPUs, 456 CPUs), FPS measurements from reviews, YouTube and players (106 independent measurements and 4,800 rows of aggregated review data), and the FPSHQ model where no measurement exists — always labelled "estimate".
What is the single FPSHQ FPS model?
One algorithm that, from the GPU score, the CPU gaming score and the game's demand, computes FPS at 1080p/1440p/4K on Low–Ultra presets. The same number appears on every page — games, GPUs, comparisons, calculators — and whenever a real measurement exists it takes priority over the estimate.
