Microsoft's Automatic Super Resolution is now officially out for the ROG Xbox Ally X

It’s the company’s response to NVIDIA’s DLSS and other similar upscaling tech.

Back in April, Microsoft revealed that it had started testing Automatic Super Resolution (Auto SR) on the ROG Xbox Ally X. Now, the upscaling technology designed to compete with similar video game tools like NVIDIA's DLSS, is officially rolling out to the Ally X, ROG Xbox Ally X20 and select Windows Copilot+ PCs powered by AMD Ryzen. The official version of Auto SR works even when the console is undocked, unlike the preview version that doesn't support handheld play.

Auto SR allows the docked handheld to offer "1440p-like detail alongside smooth framerates on larger screens." It means it can upscale your game up to 1440p in resolution to make it look sharper if you're playing on the TV. While that was its original purpose, Microsoft said it made the upscaling tech available even in handheld mode due to popular demand. Auto SR can "smooth things out" if a demanding game "feels a little choppy on the go," the company wrote in its announcement.

The new version of Auto SR works with games running at 1080p on default, which would be most games played on the ASUS consoles. During its preview, you'd had to lower the game's resolution before the tech could kick in. Now that's no longer necessary. " You're bound to still see visual quality improvements, though, especially for older games.
