US EditionYour ROG Xbox Ally X Is About to Get a Free Performance Upgrade Soon
Microsoft's AI-powered Automatic Super Resolution will boost Ally X gaming performance by up to 30% without extra cost or hardware changes in an April preview update.
- Microsoft announced it is bringing Automatic Super Resolution to the Asus ROG Xbox Ally in April, currently in preview status rather than a final, polished rollout.
- Designed as a competitor to Nvidia's DLSS and AMD's FSR, Auto SR leverages the Neural Processing Unit within the Asus ROG Xbox Ally's Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme chipset to upscale visuals without increasing CPU load.
- Demonstrating the capability, Microsoft showcased Forza Horizon 5 jumping from 35 fps to "around 51 fps" with the feature active, promising "an almost 30% frame rate boost all while maintaining nearly equivalent visual quality."
- Operating at the OS level, Auto SR does not require per-game developer integration, though it currently supports only DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 games.
- The feature appears exclusive to the X variant because the base model lacks the required Neural Processing Unit, while implementation may introduce latency and trails Nvidia's DLSS in outright image quality.
