THIS is why the Asus ROG Flow X13 DESTROYS the Steam Deck OLED!

Okay, so I've got Diablo 4 loaded up on

the X13 Flow ROG, and this is amazing.

Look at this, I've got the graphics on—

I've got the quality preset on high, but I

can put it up to ultra and I get like 60

FPS. It's so smooth compared to the ROG

Ally. I used to play this game mostly on

the ROG Ally, and oh my God, the

difference is so huge. Look at this. Got

50 FPS on ultra settings. Look how crisp

the details are.

This is just mind-blowing because I was

playing on the ROG Ally and I had to play

on low settings with AMD FSR

2 turned on with scaling on performance

mode or balance mode, and the graphics

look so bad. It was like really grainy,

really pixelated. So going from that to

going to now ultra graphics with 50

FPS. This looks so good, and on its 165Hz

display, it looks so smooth and fluid. So

I'll do some gameplay and I'll show you

how good it is. It's so good, I don't know

why you'd bother getting like a Steam Deck

or any kind of Windows handheld device.

Just seems like a waste of time now when

you can get a tiny portable 13-inch gaming

laptop That has an RTX 4050 and

has, um, a Ryzen R9 7940HS.

It's really hard to say that CPU name

quickly. This feels so

smooth. I'm getting 50 FPS, 47,

50 FPS, ultra graphics.

So good. I also played Red Dead Redemption

2 on ultra graphics and I got about 50

FPS. Might show you that later. But look

at this, it's so smooth, plays completely

well and fine.

It's just amazing coming from the ROG Ally

to now coming to this ROG X13.

Look, what you do is you drag them over

here And then you teleport. I missed the

teleport. You try not to teleport into a

wall, that would be great. And then you,

you trigger your Frost Nova, maybe another

Frost Nova, and then a teleport. Oh, I got

caught in the AoE thing, I wasn't paying

attention. But this game plays so well,

50 FPS. Oh, I got a wand,

Ancestral Wand, nice.

Can't believe how well this plays.

There's no lag at all. 45, 47 FPS.

Okay, we're not getting 60, but come on,

this already feels really smooth as it is.

So yeah, why would you get a Steam Deck or

an ROG Ally? Just spend the extra $1,000

and get this. This is really ultra

portable. 13-inch screen, 1 kg. The weight

is like 1.1 kg. It's barely anything.

Steam Deck or ROG Ally is like 600 grams,

so it's almost double those, but it really

is very light.

I hate these stupid long-range bow things.

They always one-shot me.

Look, I'm just destroying everything.

Tier 63 Nightmare Dungeon.

Yeah, really impressive gameplay on Diablo

4. And here we have Red Dead Redemption 2,

another really amazing looking game. And

again, I was playing this on the ROG Ally

at really low settings because that was

the most it could handle, and the game

looked— it looked pretty good actually for

low graphics. But going from low graphics

to now I think high graphics. Let me check

my settings.

So I've got the graphics on resolution I

had to put down to 1920 by 1080, down from

like 2560 something, because I couldn't

get a good FPS when it was higher than

1920 by 1080. And I got refresh rate 165,

and then for graphics it's on ultra. Look

at this. Ultra, ultra high, ultra ultra

high, high, high. I can probably put more

reflection things onto ultra, but we're

already kind of getting close to the video

memory limit. We've got 6 gigabytes video

graphic card limit. We're hitting 5

gigabytes right now. So I think a mixture

of ultra and high is okay, and we're

getting an FPS of,

let's see, 50 56,

58. Looks pretty good,

looks really nice going from low graphics

to ultra high mixture of graphics.

Really nice looking game. Look at the

sunset. Problem is it's kind of dark right

now. Maybe I'll wait until the morning to

show you more video footage. Yeah, it

looks really good. We're getting nearly 60

FPS right now.

It did crash a couple times though.

It was like a really weird FPS crash where

the FPS dropped down to really low and I

had to just force quit the game. Who's

yelling at me?

Oh, he wants my help. I don't know why

it's so dark. Oh, it's because it's nearly

nighttime. Should I help this guy?

Oh, he wants me to shoot his shackles. I

can do that. Oh wow, we're getting 68 FPS.

Oh, I shot him in the foot.

Wait, how is he running away if he's

shackled? Wait, I'm trying to help you.

Stay still, stay still.

Oh my God, where's he

going? I can't believe I'm getting 65 FPS

on ultra mode. Again, like I was saying

earlier, uh, why would you get a Steam

Deck or ROG Ally when you could play these

games on low graphics, have a bad— well,

not a bad experience, but like a subpar

experience— when you could get a laptop

like this, which is also very tiny and

compact and get 66

FPS on ultra-high graphics.

I would love to see a Steam Deck OLED try

and play this game on ultra graphics and

get 61 FPS. There's just

no way. I don't know why anyone buys those

stupid handheld Windows gaming devices

when you got compact laptops like this.

And then you could also— you could always

turn the graphics down to like medium and

get a better experience. Like, look, I

could go into settings now and then just

put it down to medium because, you know,

ultra is kind of pushing the limits on

this graphics card. So we can go down to

medium and look, we've got 2 graphics,

2 gigabytes free on our memory card— I

mean graphics card. So just apply those

changes, see what FPS we get on medium

It's kind of the same, 62 FPS. I don't

know why it's the same. Seems like it's

not really that much better. Yeah, maybe

it's a bit smoother. Oh, look at the

moonlight. This game is such a beautiful

game. Can't believe it came out over 5

years ago. It's such a great-looking game.

Look at that moon. The clouds just look so

good as well. Just riding off into the

moonlight, getting 66

FPS. This thing, oh, I love this thing.

So glad I sold my ROG Ally to get this

instead. Okay, it's a bit more expensive,

like $1,000 more expensive, but in return

you get a nice keyboard, you get a much

bigger screen, you get a 13.4-inch

screen instead of that tiny little

7-point-whatever-inch screen. So nice to

have a big 13-inch screen. Okay, in laptop

terms it's kind of small. Because people

have 16, 17-inch laptops. But this is

fine,

and it's a lot better than these Windows

handheld gaming devices because they have

really tiny screens. Even the Legion Go

has an 8.8-inch screen, and that's

considered big for a handheld, but

compared to this, it's still really small.

See if I can lasso this guy.

Haha, lassoing people is so

funny. And then you can just drag him

around like that. Look at that, you just

drag his body.

This game, you can be such a sicko in this

game. Whoa, fell off my horse.

I got this big horse as well. Where's he

going? This game's so random.

Just tie people up and

then what are you gonna do, chuck him in

the river? Though he's got mud all over

Well, it looks like he needs to have a

wash in the nice cool river. Oh, there's

this body body float down the river when

you drop him in the river? Oh, look at the

water! The river is sparkling.

That's so cool. Is he gonna float down the

stream? I think it's too shallow.

What's that

creepy music? Oh, the bounty hunters. Oh,

that is creepy. You when the bounty

hunters start getting near to you. Oh,

they saw me. I can show you some gunplay

Oh crap. Oh my god,

where's my special Deadeye thing? Oh my

god, I'm gonna die. Drink, drink, drink.

How many shots do they take?

Why is he— it takes so long to reload.

One more.

They take so many bullets to kill. Why?

Oh, there's one more here. Oh no, that's

the tied up guy. Oh, did you see that

gameplay? So smooth. That's what

you get. Also, when you have the particle

effects on high or ultra, the blood just

really sprays out. I shot this guy once

and this stream of blood just came out

like a stream of piss. I never saw that on

low graphics. And then

you can do stuff like blow their legs off

like that. Nice. Where's that

guy in the river? Where'd he go?

Did he get taken down the stream?

This is so much better than my experience

on the ROG Ally. I don't

know why he did. I want to put his body on

the train tracks.

What if I put the dead bodies on the train

tracks?
