ASUS has rolled out new updates for its ROG Ally handheld which adds support for AMD HYPR-RX & 900p resolution alongside a list of bug fixes.
ASUS Enhances The ROG Ally Handheld Experience By Leveraging AMD's HYPR-RX Feature, Also Adds 900p Resolution Mode
The newest and major feature that the ASUS ROG Ally has received is support for AMD's HYPR-RX which will let users take advantage of three major features, Radeon Boost, Radeon Anti-Lag+, and Radeon Super Resolution. Knowing that the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme APU on the ROG Ally features an RDNA 3 graphics chip, it can utilize all three said technologies. This will allow gamers to enjoy a better and smoother gaming experience with faster FPS through a list of supported games. AMD is not yet rolling out AFMF (Fluid Motion Frames) technology to APUs but we can expect it to roll out soon once the technical preview is completed.
Besides that, users of the ASUS ROG Ally handheld will also get access to a 1600x900 resolution mode which is a nice option besides the 1080p and 720p options along with bug fixes within several titles including Resident Evil Village. A new BIOS is also available which offers optimized system stability and there are also enhancements to the Aura RGB plugin. Following are the full release notes of the latest updates:
