Microsoft’s Automatic Super Resolution is now officially out for the ROG Xbox Ally X
Microsoft has officially begun rolling out Automatic Super Resolution (Auto SR), its game upscaling technology, to the ROG Xbox Ally X and other supported devices. It aims to sharpen images and improve smoothness in games, including when the Ally X is used as a handheld.
The update supports games running at their default 1080p resolution and can upscale them to give a 1440p-like image on larger screens. Microsoft says handheld use was added after user requests, though performance at 1080p in handheld mode may be less optimal. Support for up to 120 frames per second and HDR visuals is planned through future Windows updates.
In short
- Auto SR is rolling out to the ROG Xbox Ally X.
- It can upscale games for sharper images on larger screens.
- 120 fps and HDR support are planned in future updates.
Explained simply
The ROG Xbox Ally X is a portable gaming PC made by Asus with Microsoft’s Xbox branding and software features. Like other handheld PCs, it runs Windows games, but its small screen and hardware limits can affect how sharp or smooth demanding games look.
Automatic Super Resolution, or Auto SR, is Microsoft’s image-upscaling technology. It uses software to make a game rendered at a lower resolution look closer to a higher one, which can help balance image quality and performance. Microsoft has also said it plans to add support for higher frame rates and HDR in future Windows updates.
