ASUS has unlocked performance gains for the ROG Ally, its Steam Deck competitor. Now one of many AMD Ryzen 7 7840U-derived gaming handhelds, the ROG Ally failed to reach its potential at various wattages with early software. A new firmware update has brought upwards of 20% performance gains, putting it on par with the AYA NEO 2S, another Zen 4 and RDNA 3-based gaming handheld.
