Dragon Ball Sparking Zero isn’t the best running game on handhelds but with a little tweak you can really push its performance to an acceptable level, sometimes even beyond that.

First, I would highly recommend that you keep the TDP somewhere between 18 to 20W on Asus ROG Ally X while playing Dragon Ball Sparking Zero because we are going to push this game to Medium / High graphics.

I also recommend that you turn on AMD’s Frame Gen 2.0 to further boost performance on Asus ROG Ally X while playing Dragon Ball Sparkling Zero.

Handheld Specific Settings

  • Operating Mode: Manual, set at 20W, which is a balanced power setting for performance and battery life.
  • Control Mode: Use the default setting of Gamepad.
  • AMD RSR (Radeon Super Resolution): Turned Off for better performance.
  • CPU Boost: Keep this setting Disabled.
  • Resolution Setting in Device Options: Maintain at 1080p; do not change from the game resolution.
  • AMD RIS (Radeon Image Sharpening): Turned On for improved image quality without significant performance loss.
  • FPS Limiter: Disable this option to take advantage of Variable Refresh Rate (VRR).
  • AFMF (Advanced Frame Management Framework): Keep this setting as disabled.

With everything set-up, you should be able to get a stable frame rate around 60 FPS during gameplay, which is ideal for fast-paced fighting games like Dragon Ball.

I got around 4-5 hours of battery life at 20W.
