With the ever-increasing popularity of handheld gaming PCs (such as the Steam Deck), a growing number of users have been curious to try the latest and greatest games on their device of choice.
The recently released Wuthering Waves has also caught the attention of such players worldwide, thanks to its free to play nature and markup as a serious Genshin Impact contender.
Optimal settings for 60 FPS Wuthering Waves on the ROG Ally
While it is entirely possible to play Wuthering Waves on the ROG Ally, an extensive set of modifications are required to both the in-game settings as well as the device settings itself to ensure a smooth experience. A list of these settings can be found below.
Following the settings listed below will ensure a (mostly) stable 60 frames per second for Wuthering Waves on the ROG Ally:
In-game settings
These settings can be adjusted while logged in-game, via the Settings (cogwheel icon in pause menu) > Graphic Settings (indicated by an image icon).
- Graphics Quality: Advacned
- Screen Mode: Full Screen
- Brightness: 0-20 points
- Frame Rate: 60 FPS
- Shadow Quality: Medium
- Special Effects Quality: Low
- LOD Bias: Low
- Capsule AO: Off
- Volumetric Fog: Off
- Volumetric Lighting: Off
- Motion Blur: Off
- Anti-Aliasing: On
- V-Sync: Off
ROG Ally specific settings
Note that these settings refer to the side control panel of your ROG Ally, and are accessible via the right-handed triangle button.
- Operating Mode/TDP: 25 W (on battery; Turbo) or 30 W (plugged in; Turbo)
- Control Mode: Gamepad
- FPS Limiter: Off
- Resolution: 900p
- AMD RSR: Off
- AMD RIS: Enabled
- CPU Boost: Disabled
- AFMF/Frame Generation: Can be enabled as per user preference
Following these settings should allow for an average 60 frames per second while playing Wuthering Waves on the ROG Ally. Given the rather poor optimization of the current game build, it should come as no surprise that it requires a TDP of 25 W or higher to maintain stable frame rates – at the cost of battery life.
