We’re excited to officially bring Automatic Super Resolution (Auto SR) out of preview on the ROG XBOX Ally X and the ROG XBOX Ally X20. Auto<\/span> SR is also now available on select Windows Copilot+ PCs, powered by AMD Ryzen, with several major new features beginning to roll out today.\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This release brings <\/span>handheld play (undocked on battery),<\/span><\/b> support for games running at <\/span>1080p<\/span><\/b>, compatibility with <\/span>Auto HDR<\/span><\/b> and a new <\/span>Performance Mode<\/span><\/b> that can run up to 120 FPS. Handheld play, expanded support for Windows Copilot+ PCs powered by AMD Ryzen, and 1080p support are available today, while Performance Mode and Auto HDR support will be rolling out with <\/span>Windows updates<\/span> so they may take a little time to reach your device.<\/span><\/p>\n

Performance Mode: Up To 120 FPS\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Until now, Auto SR topped out around 60 to 75 FPS. We hinted at increasing this capability in our <\/span>last post<\/span><\/a>, and today we\u2019re introducing a new <\/span>Performance Mode. <\/span><\/b>It raises the limit to up to 120 FPS, almost double what was possible before, so fast-paced and competitive games can feel even smoother.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Switch between modes on the fly in Game Bar and watch your framerate change in real time for the right balance for each game.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Play in Handheld Mode (Undocked\/Internal Screen)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

During the <\/span>XBOX Insider preview<\/span><\/a>, players could use Auto SR only while docked. We started there because that\u2019s where Auto SR makes the biggest difference: 1440p-like detail alongside smooth framerates on larger screens where every frame matters. By popular demand, Auto SR now also works in handheld mode, right on your device’s built-in screen, even when you’re unplugged and playing on battery. The next time a demanding game feels a little choppy on the go, Auto SR can help smooth things out, no dock required.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Support for 1080p Base Resolution<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Many games on your handheld run at 1080p by default to match the built-in screen. During the preview, you had to lower a game’s resolution before Auto SR could kick in, an extra step that was easy to miss and a common reason Auto SR didn\u2019t turn on. Now Auto SR will work with games running at 1080p. Dock to a higher-resolution TV or monitor, and it can upscale your game up to 1440p for a sharper picture on the big screen, with fewer settings to change.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

*<\/span>Note: <\/span><\/b>When using 1080p in handheld mode (internal screen), performance may not be as optimal as other configurations, but you’ll still see visual quality improvements especially in older games.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Auto SR and Auto HDR now work together\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Auto HDR is a Windows feature that brings brighter highlights and richer colors to games without native HDR support when you play on an HDR display. Until now, you had to choose between Auto SR and Auto HDR. Now they work together, so you can enjoy sharper, smoother gameplay and vivid HDR <\/span>visuals at the same time, whether on an HDR TV, monitor or ROG XBOX Ally X20.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
