fyi without frame gen it hits like 30 fps.... and you should not be using frame gen with 30 fps it just feels like shit amd even said its supposed to be used at a minimum 60 fps
@@BlueshellGamer I definitely will. GDP has been making handheld PCs long before the Ally and they have a surprisingly large community. I can’t tell you which one to like more, but don’t sleep on GPD
Which one would be better to use just for connecting to a bigger monitor and a tight space for playing online first person shooter games mostly? Do i need a eGPU to do that? Do both both brands sell everything i need to make this setup happen?
1. They can both connect to an external monitor with a single cable, but the ally is better if you have a dock because most docks are made for that shape of device. 2. You don’t need an eGPU to connect to an external monitor, it will just improve your performance. 3. GPD sells an eGPU, and ASUS sells portable monitors but not both from each. Do you have a controller or planning to use the built in controller?
@@BarelyAverageDude wow thanks for the quick reply! I rarely get a answer on RUclips when I leave a comment. Well I’m a truck driver and I’m trying to find the best way to play PC multiplayer games in my truck! Laptop got too hot used too much power, desktop takes up too much space! Just learned about handheld two days ago so this is all new to me and possibly the way to go? I play mainly Hell Let Loose I need a mouse and headset to talk to the team and a big enough screen to see the map, and of course the enemies :) when driving a tank and playing spotter I need to look around 360° and fast so I think a mouse is best for that? I do not know I have not found the solution to playing comfortably in my truck yet!!! I guess I should use a dock but I don’t know nothing about them yet. And from my little bit of research I think the steam deck might be good for what I’m looking for?
@@skinz1234steam deck is a good affordable option, but it is much less powerful and doesn’t even have the option to connect to an eGPU if you ever want to in the future. I think the Ally X could be a suitable option for you based on what you’ve said so far. Do you have any budget limitations?
@@BarelyAverageDude NO NOT IF U HAVE A ULTIMATE SOLUTION! :) WHAT DO U SUGGEST? Need my email address? Can i send it here? Or how can i chat with u easier?
You would think by now a manufacturer would’ve made something so powerful with 120hz VRR display that it’s the clear handheld king even for a premium price. Every device has drawbacks somewhere in power or display tech. I thought the Win Max 2 2024 would be that crazy device but they went and released it with a 60hz non vrr ips panel. Fail.
@@JorCal-ev8fq I have a Z1E. I’m just saying I’d spend for $2k for a high performance handheld with a better chipset all in one. I don’t want to buy peripherals for a mobile device. Defeats the purpose of it being a handheld.
@@Energydrinc you'll likely have to wait 2-3 generations further down the line for AMD handhelds chipsetwise. In the meantime I'm enjoying black myth wukong on my AM4 5800x3d build with an 7900 xtx card I plan to skip AM5 for AM6 potentially around 2027-2028(literally squeezing my build atm)
@@JorCal-ev8fq I think the Ally 2 might be what I’m looking for. Asus is still leading the pack imo. Z1E and Ally X still best bang for your buck with high performance and amazing 120hz VRR display.
@@Energydrinc yer always gonna be waiting for the next best thing no matter what. I factor in other things before I buy stuff. Like I'm replacing my OS for bazzite , Linux, for my ally X. The screen staying at a nice 120hz and at 1080p, a proper dpad, I heard the og ally has a crappy dpad that Asus fixed with the X edition, and then theres the use of non recessed hall effect joysticks. The battery being twice that of my win mini is also a huge plus. I might not even boot my operating system through the pcie 4.0 M2 slot. Instead I might simply use a nice portable external M2 drive and plug that to my thunderbolt 4 port and use my internal pcie 4.0 slot to route a diy occulink port

Very good analysis. I got a used Mini 2023 and it's such a compact device. Great for a bit of gaming, a bit of (light) work like answering emails.
How it fit in pocket
Can u demonstrate
Ty
Awesome review and comparison!
@@0DlNN thanks 👍🏽
Im trying to setup the gyro on the gpd win mini but no luck. Im trying to play cod warzone. Please do a video on how to setup
Handheld companion maybe
@@runman2627 I use motion assistant
You can have both: Ally X for home and Win Mini for travel! That's what I do. (Steam Deck OLED instead of Ally X)
@@Hodori-mf3ct you already know the deal 🤝
What's the light gray joystick cap you've got on the left on the mini?
I'm torn between the two. I love the form factor of the win mini but really worried about the heat especially with AAA games
@@waleedk.g2818 if you don't go above 20w it stays relatively cool. (With the right fan settings)
Don't be afraid to turn that fan up 😅👍🏽
Heat no longer an issue with 2024 version. But terrible grip comfort still remains. I own deck and mini2024.
@@adtsiriusstarr112 Thanks for your feedback. How about the performance of mini2024 compare to the Ally?
@@faisalcsat3301 i personally have not played on any of ally variants yet
@@adtsiriusstarr112 Ah okay, but anyway thanks for your reply
So the rog ally is better your using it on low power an its doing well
Spec gpd mini?
@@Touka-y8b they are pretty much the same.
AMD 8840U

@BarelyAverageDude which one you recommend rog ally X or gpd mini?
fyi without frame gen it hits like 30 fps.... and you should not be using frame gen with 30 fps it just feels like shit amd even said its supposed to be used at a minimum 60 fps
Why would you activate frame gen when you already have 60fps?
@@firstblessings8777 For real 🤣
@@firstblessings8777 the math is not mathing
Dumbest comment in the world 😂
@Sensaiathletixboxing how so explain urself even amd says the same so i guess amd is dumb? Hahahahha
No compatison. Noones going to want a gpd win in 1 year. Ally X is the best handheld ever made.
