"I see two types of buyers considering these cards.
First, there are the value-oriented enthusiasts who try to keep their systems updated once a year or so. They'd love the fastest technology, but know that flagships always carry the largest pricing premiums. These are the folks who kept an eye on our Best Graphics Cards for the Money column, and when Radeon HD 4870s hit $140 bucks, they bought (and got a killer deal, even by today's standards). If you belong to that group, are looking at "Radeon HD 5700-series" and expecting a big step up in performance, even the 5770 is a disappointment. After all, if you own a 4870 or 4890 already, that card is faster in today's games.
Of course, there's an X factor in play: ATI's value-adds. Eyefinity-the ability to run three concurrent display outputs-is completely unique at the high-end still. It's particularly exciting at the $159 and $129 price points being represented here. Likewise, the ability to bitstream Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA are capabilities previously available through $200+ sound cards. Now you can get that functionality from a DirectX 11 graphics card. Both extras are compelling enough on their own to sell these cards to the folks able to exploit their benefits today. And it's personally telling that I've put one card in my desktop workstation to drive a trio of monitors, and one into my HTPC, driving a 55" Samsung LED display."
It's almost time for the ASUS ROG Ally X to be revealed, and these leaked renders already provide a look at the device and its specs.
Is it running the same Windows OS? Because that is the biggest issue with the current Ally.
MSI is proud to announce that its gaming handheld, Claw, has achieved a significant performance increase of up to 30% through a new BIOS and MSI Center M update. Furthermore, the new BIOS and MSI Center M enable Claw to smoothly play all of the top 100 po
is this the one with the switch2 chip inside.?
this is Intels first try at the format
probs not though, as it's $799. so not good for switch actually
Well thats nice considering Ive heard it consistently performs worse when it really shouldn't.
Now if only Lenovo would do the same for the legion go
Yet another leak for the ASUS ROG Ally X points towards as much as 8 hours of battery, but how does that compare to the competition?
Honestly, I really like this updated version. But it doesn't solve the biggest flaw that the original had for me: the Z1 Extreme APU. Yes, it's an extremely powerful part, but it is not part of AMD's Adrenalin driver update program, so it's dependent on Asus for driver updates. And unfortunately, Asus doesn't have a stellar record of support for their devices.
Up to 8 hours basically just means the least demanding games. AAA gaming at highest wattage would probably be about 2-3 hours which is good compared to just about 1 hour with the current ally. The OLED Deck can do about 2-3hrs.
Nope. The only improvements I want to hear is better customer support. Otherwise, I can't be bothered.
