Methodology
How We Map Handheld Performance
Handhelds use mobile APUs and integrated graphics. Here's how we score them.
- 01
GPU Equivalent Scores
Each handheld’s integrated GPU is assigned a performance score equivalent to a desktop GPU. For example, the Radeon 780M in the ROG Ally performs roughly like a GTX 1650 desktop card.
- 02
TDP-Aware Scoring
Handhelds run at different power envelopes. A chip running at 15W performs differently than at 30W. Our scores account for the typical power profile of each device.
- 03
Game Compatibility Grade
The handheld’s score is compared against each game’s requirements to produce a grade. An "A" means it runs great; an "F" means the hardware is too weak.
Examples
