The prelaunch demo reflects upscaling plus frame insertion rather than native 1080p performance.

The new Xbox features have a ton of promise, but were still heavily unpolished.

Overview

  • The ASUS–Microsoft Xbox‑branded Windows 11 handheld was shown running Doom: The Dark Ages at a reported 70 frames per second at 1080p with ray tracing during a Gamescom hands‑on.
  • That result used AMD FSR on the Performance preset with an internal 540p render and FSR Frame Generation, indicating a native frame rate closer to roughly 35 FPS.
  • The demo unit drew about 28 watts of total system power during the session, according to the hands‑on report.
  • The Ally X features an AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme chip with integrated Radeon graphics, an XDNA NPU rated up to 50 TOPS, a 120 Hz 1080p display, and 24 GB of LPDDR5X memory.
  • Microsoft confirmed plans to tap the handheld’s NPU for its own Super Resolution upscaling and potentially AI‑powered frame generation, with launch targeted for October and a reported price around $900 for the X model.
