While it is true that drivers adapted by more experienced users can be installed, this is not the best option since it is not a matter of official driverswhose development corresponds, in this specific case, to ASUS.
Fortunately, although later than expected, ASUS has just released a new update for the ROG Ally, an update that includes support for AFMF to get the most out of the processor and enjoy a number higher FPS.
This is undoubtedly excellent news for owners of this console since it allows you to take advantage of the 120 Hz refresh rate of the screen of this model.
