ASUS adds new core controls and Radeon Chill tweaks to ROG Xbox Ally update

ASUS has released the ACSE 2.1.15.0 update for the ROG Ally line, including the ROG Xbox Ally (RC73YA) and ROG Xbox Ally X (RC73XA). The main change is a new CPU Performance / Efficient core control on the ROG Xbox Ally X, found under Performance/More Settings, which lets users tune the Z2 Extreme for either higher performance or lower power use. This feature seems to be limited to Xbox X model sadly.

The update also reworks frame rate control. Radeon Chill behavior is now integrated into the FPS Limiter, and the preset has been moved from 45 FPS to 40 FPS to line up better with the 120 Hz display. At the same time, AMD Radeon Super Resolution (RSR) is now set to Off by default on RC73 models. Perhaps this change was required to avoid unwanted upscaling when users rely on per-game settings.

ASUS has rounded out the release with several quality-of-life changes. There is now a key binding option to enter or exit the full screen experience, an update notification in Command Center, new Windows Power Mode options in Manual mode, and an improved gyro aiming algorithm. Firmware, BIOS, power delivery and driver updates are also rolling out through Armoury Crate SE and the ASUS support site on 11/18, targeting lower idle power use, better stability and smoother game performance.
