ROG Xbox Ally X has received a lot of praise. This handheld console is hailed by IGN as the best PC handheld console currently.Although Xbox Ally X still has to face old rivals like Steam Deck - which still has a place with its high cost performance - from actual measurements, the pricing of Xbox Ally X actually makes sense, because its performance improvement is indeed very significant.Taking "Marvel's Spider-Man 2" as an example, its graphics performance is closer to that of PS5 than Steam Deck.

The well-known analysis channel ElAnalistaDeBits released a detailed comparison video to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the performance of "Marvel's Spider-Man 2" on this handheld console, PS5 and Steam Deck.The results are surprising - the picture quality of Xbox Ally X is almost close to that of PS5 performance mode.

Between PS5's performance mode and Ally X turning on FSR (medium image quality), the gap in picture details is far less big than imagined.The Steam Deck lags significantly behind, mainly because it uses an older chip architecture.There's also a clear gap in resolution between the two - Steam Deck can only run at low/very low quality and upsample to 800p, while Ally X can upsample to 1080p at medium quality.However, it still doesn't support ray tracing, which is one of the reasons why the PS5 remains ahead of the pack.Overall, the PS5's picture quality is still better.

The improvement in performance is even more obvious.Ally X supports frame generation technology, which although it contains "virtual frames", can allow the game frame rate to reach 80FPS.And the delay is not obvious, because it can stabilize above 40FPS when only FSR is turned on.

For comparison, Steam Deck can only run 30FPS at lower resolutions and image quality.It can be said that Xbox Ally X has achieved a "generational" leap compared to other handheld consoles.In the future, we are also expected to see more devices using this powerful chip.
