Loadshedding hits... but your gaming does not have to stop 🎮. The ASUS ROG Ally is a beast for portable play. But when you are spending your hard-earned ZAR, you want to know exactly what you are getting. So, does ROG Ally support ray tracing and DLSS? Let us break down the graphics tech inside this popular handheld.

Hardware Ray Tracing on the ROG Ally ✨

The ROG Ally packs an impressive AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor. This chip uses the RDNA 3 graphics architecture. Because of this, it absolutely supports hardware ray tracing. You can turn on those realistic reflections and shadows in compatible games.

However... there is a catch. Ray tracing is incredibly demanding. Even top-tier desktop rigs sweat when it is enabled. If you want maximum frames and beautiful ray tracing, you might want to browse our best gaming PC deals. On a handheld, turning on ray tracing will drain your battery faster and drop your frame rate significantly.

Does ROG Ally Support DLSS?

This is where things get specific. DLSS stands for Deep Learning Super Sampling. It is an exclusive technology created by Nvidia. Because the ROG Ally uses AMD hardware, it does not support DLSS.

If you specifically need DLSS for your portable setup, you should look at notebooks for sale in South Africa that feature Nvidia RTX chips. Alternatively, if you are building a desktop, you can buy graphics cards from Nvidia to get that DLSS magic. But do not worry... the Ally has its own trick up its sleeve.

Enter AMD FSR 🚀

Instead of DLSS, the ROG Ally uses AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution... or FSR for short. FSR does the exact same job. It boosts your frame rates by rendering the game at a lower resolution and upscaling it. It looks fantastic on the Ally's crisp 1080p screen.

Using FSR is the secret to getting smooth gameplay on modern AAA titles. It gives you that premium desktop feel while chilling on the couch.

TIP

Handheld Performance Pro Tip ⚡

To get the most out of your ROG Ally battery, set your screen resolution to 720p and enable AMD Radeon Super Resolution (RSR) in the Armoury Crate. It upscales everything to 1080p beautifully while saving precious battery life during loadshedding.
