The video reviews the performance of the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone games on the Rog Ally Z1 Extreme handheld gaming device across various power settings. The presenter tests the games in different modes—15W performance mode, 25W turbo mode, and 30W plugged-in mode—observing that FPS improves significantly with higher wattage. While 15W mode maintains decent FPS, particularly in less demanding maps, it struggles during CPU-intensive scenarios like ground war or complex scenes. Switching to 25W and 30W modes results in smoother gameplay and higher FPS, especially notable in turbo and plugged-in modes. Ground war mode benefits the most from plugged-in 30W mode, which delivers the best performance, albeit with some limitations in battery life. The speaker concludes positively, satisfied with the device's capabilities and hints at future performance optimizations.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses their experience playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 on the Rog Ally Z1 Extreme handheld. They highlight the game performance with various settings, starting with 1080p resolution, an unlimited frame rate, FSR 1, and mostly low settings. The presenter notes that even at 15-watt performance mode, the game maintains FPS in the 60s and 70s in arena shooter maps, which is impressive. Switching to 25-watt turbo mode significantly increases FPS to the 80s and 90s most of the time, enhancing the gameplay experience on a 120 FPS screen. They mention that battery life in turbo mode lasts about an hour, which is acceptable for their needs. Additionally, plugging in the device and using 30-watt mode can push FPS closer to 100, depending on the game mode. The presenter notes that adjusting vRAM settings can slightly improve performance. In ground war mode, 15-watt performance starts strong but struggles with CPU limitations, causing dips in FPS, especially during complex scenes like flying a helicopter.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses their experience with different power modes while playing a specific game. They mention encountering some performance issues at lower power settings, such as dipping to 23 FPS but experiencing better performance at 25 watts handheld mode, keeping frames mostly in the 50s. When aiming in and out, the frame rate remains stable unlike previous experiences on Windows on Deck.
Upon switching to plugged-in mode, the speaker notes a significant FPS increase, especially in CPU-intensive scenarios like ground war, achieving an additional 10-15 FPS. They describe the plugged-in 30-watt mode as offering the best experience, particularly for ground war.
The speaker also tests Warzone in 30-watt turbo mode, achieving around 60 FPS but noting difficulty in surpassing that mark. Unplugging to 25-watt handheld mode results in about a 10 FPS drop, but the mode is still playable with some minor stutters and frame time issues. Comparatively, arena shooter mode is the least affected by power differences. During their gameplay, they experienced a consistent frame rate with minimal in-game interactions.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the performance of the Ally gaming device, particularly focusing on its capabilities in different modes while playing Warzone and Modern Warfare 2. They highlight that in 15W performance mode, the device may struggle with stutters, especially in battles with many players. However, switching to handheld turbo mode or plugging in offers a significant boost in performance. For regular multiplayer, 15W mode provides decent FPS, though turbo mode enhances the experience further. Throughout, the speaker expresses satisfaction with the device’s performance, noting that there are still optimizations to be made. They conclude with positive remarks about their experience with the Ally and thank viewers for watching.
