World War Z Game Settings
World War Z runs great on the ROG Ally with my settings at a custom 18W performance profile. I averaged above 60 fps with some dips depending on the area and the mission. A lot of zombies in a specific area with explosions can cause a brief spike in the FPS. Those dips don’t tend to last long though so overall this is a fun smooth experience. If you want extra frames with no dips in FPS you can play at Turbo Mode but expect a shorter battery life.
Horde mode is a bit demanding, playing at 18w caused a lot of frame rate drops due to the amount of enemies on screen at once. Playing this mode on Turbo Mode is recommended and even then it’s not perfect. You may have to put the FSR setting to Performance.
