Can ASUS ROG Ally play games at 4K?
In short, yes. When paired with an ASUS eGPU, monitor, and keyboard and mouse, the ASUS ROG Ally can support 4K gaming and streaming. As a handheld device only, it has a 7-inch touch panel with Full HD resolution (1080p) with a 120Hz Refresh rate. This is excellent news for ASUS in the ASUS ROG Ally vs Steam Deck question, as the Steam Deck can also support 4K when docked.
The further good news is that these excellent visuals will not be thwarted by poor connectivity. The device boasts super-fast Wi-Fi 6E networking. This means that streaming speeds should be maintained allowing you to stream videos and cloud game even on crowded networks.
