Steamos was tested on Asus Rog Allly. However, the deficiencies of performance and optimization are remarkable. Here are the details.
Developed by Valve Steamoswill be officially released soon to be used on third -party devices. However, technology commentator and Youtuber The Phawx managed to run Steamos on the Asus Rog Allly without waiting for the official version. During this test, the strong aspects and deficiencies of the existing version of the operating system were revealed. Steamos, which has not yet been fully optimized, cannot fully use all the hardware features of Rog Allly.
Steamos performance and deficiencies
According to the test results, Steamos works well on Rog Allly. However, some deficiencies draw attention. For example, special hardware buttons on the device are currently dysfunctional. In addition, energy consumption cannot be optimized in some games because TDP (thermal design power) is not controlled. This causes 3D games such as Sonic to work with a high power consumption of 20W.
Valve’s own device Steam Deck comparisons, optimized games Steam Deck’in better results were seen. For example, in games like Cyberpunk 2077, Steam Deck offers higher square speeds than Rog Allly. This is because Valve’s special optimization for Steam Deck is shown.
During the test, the performance differences between Rog Ally and Steam Deck were measured in certain games. Both devices were operated with 15W power and the following results were obtained:
Game | ROG ALLY (FPS) | Steam Deck (FPS) |
Batman: Arkham Knight (720p) | 73.3 | 60.6 |
Cyberpunk 2077 (720p) | 45.8 | 47.8 |
Deus Ex: MANKIND DIVIDED (720p) | 28.6 | 30.1 |
Horizon Zero Dawn (720p) | 55.9 | 59.6 |
Returnal (720p) | 28.1 | 30.6 |
Although these results show Steamos’s potential on Rog Allly, a better optimization is expected with the official version of the software.
Although the official version has not yet been released, updates are expected to be updated to provide higher performance on devices like Rog Allly. In particular, the elimination of deficiencies in hardware compatibility and energy management can ensure that this operating system is used more effectively on third -party devices.
