In this video, the creator "filterless" explores optimal settings for the Rog Ally device, focusing on screen tearing and power management. He identifies screen tearing at 60Hz with FreeSync off and recommends setting the display to 120Hz for smoother visuals. Addressing power settings, he advises against default configurations, suggesting a manual set at 25 watts for efficiency when plugged in and unplugged, noting that higher settings cause excessive heat and noise with minimal FPS gain. The speaker highlights that reducing power to 15 watts significantly drops performance by 20%, advocating instead for a 17-watt setting when unplugged to balance performance and power. Overall, he emphasizes practical adjustments for maintaining system coolness, battery life, and minimal noise without compromising significantly on performance.

In this segment of the video, the creator “filterless” discusses two primary issues with the Rog Ally device. First, he addresses the screen tearing problem that occurs when FreeSync is turned off at 60Hz. He recommends setting the display to 120Hz to enable FreeSync and eliminate the tearing, which maintains visual smoothness even at the same FPS. Second, he reviews the power level settings, advising against using the default settings. Instead, he suggests setting the power levels manually to 25 watts when the device is both plugged in and unplugged. He demonstrates that increasing the power to 30 watts results in minimal FPS gain (just one frame) but leads to higher temperatures and increased fan noise, making it inefficient. He also highlights the drawbacks of using higher wattage settings for short boosts, which cause unnecessary heat and fan activity.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the optimal settings for maintaining a cool system without significant performance losses. They recommend setting the system to a standard temperature rather than starting with a high initial temperature drop. They compare frame rates and power consumption, showing that reducing power draw from 30 Watts to 25 Watts only results in a minor frame rate loss, suggesting it’s not worth it to prioritize higher power. The speaker also discusses fan profile settings, indicating that profile 3 works well both plugged in and unplugged, offering good frame rates and battery life with minimal noise. They highlight a critical flaw noticed by other reviewers regarding power settings: reducing the power to 15 Watts significantly reduces performance by about 20%, which is too high a trade-off for just a few Watts saved.

In this segment, the speaker discusses the performance benefits of running a system at 17 watts when unplugged, as opposed to 15 watts. They note that there is a significant performance increase with the additional 2 watts. The speaker emphasizes that the system does not perform well at lower power levels and suggests adjusting to 17 watts to optimize performance.
