ASUS ROG Ally X: How to Use Both USB-C Ports for Maximum Performance

Understanding the ROG Ally X USB-C Ports

• 💡 The ASUS ROG Ally X features two distinct USB-C ports, each with different capabilities.
• 📌 One port is a Thunderbolt 4 USB-C port, designed for high-speed data transfer, external GPUs (like the ROG XG Mobile), and external displays.
• ⚡ The second USB-C port is primarily for power delivery and charging, though it can also support data transfer at lower bandwidths.

Optimal Port Usage Strategy

• 🎯 For high-performance needs, connect docks, external displays, or external GPUs to the Thunderbolt 4 port.
