Asus ROG Strix G16 Gaming Laptop Review: Beauty and Brawn

Among Asus’ esports-branded Strix laptop, the 16-inch ROG Strix G16 is the option for those who prefer something smaller. (The Strix G17 and Strix G18 sit above it in size). The ROG Strix G16 features a top-of-the-line Intel Core i9-13980HX Raptor Lake processor and Nvidia’s new GeForce RTX 4070. This marks the second laptop we’ve tested with Nvidia’s Ada Lovelace-based mainstream laptop GPU.

The ROG Strix G16 also represents the latest laptop transitioning from a 16:9 to 16:10 aspect ratio, with a 16-inch 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA) 165 Hz IPS display. This laptop has the goods to contend with some of the best gaming laptops on the market and includes 16GB of DDR5-4800 memory, a 1TB SSD, and a high-quality chassis that we’ve come to expect from Asus ROG.

With a price tag of $1,999 as configured, the ROG Strix G16 offers a lot of competent hardware, but how does it stack up to the competition?

Design of the Asus ROG Strix G16

Asus has completely redesigned the chassis of the ROG Strix G16 for 2023, and I think it looks great. Asus uses aluminum for the lid and plastic for the rest of the chassis. Plastic doesn’t have to mean “cheap,” as the ROG Strix G16 has a high-quality fit and finish throughout, along with a satin-like sheen.

Asus keeps it relatively subtle with the RGB lighting; a thin “under-glow” LED strip runs along the laptop’s front edge and wraps around to the sides and per-key lighting for the keyboard. Each is configurable using Aura Sync in the Asus Armoury Crate software.

Speaking of the keyboard, Asus added five programmable hotkeys at the top of the keyboard, labeled M1 through M5. By default, they handle functions like volume, microphone on/off, and a shortcut to the Armoury Crate. The ROG Strix G16 does not feature a number pad despite seemingly being large enough to accommodate it.

The right side of the ROG Strix G16 is home to just two USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports. However, the left side features one Thunderbolt 4 port, one USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C port, a 2.5 GbE port, HDMI 2.1 port, a 3.5mm audio jack, and a proprietary barrel-style power port. There are large vents along both sides of the laptop and rear to exhaust heat generated by the Core i9-13980HX and GeForce RTX 4070.

The laptop measures 13.94 x 10.39 x 0.89 inches (354 x 264 x 304 mm) and weighs 5.51 pounds (2.5 kg). That weight compares to 5.73 pounds for the Gigabyte Aorus 15X, 5.2 pounds for the HP Omen 16 and 4.4 pounds for the Razer Blade 15.

Gaming Performance on the Asus ROG Strix G16

The Asus ROG Strix G16 is a powerful gaming laptop featuring an Intel Core i9-13980HX (8 performance cores, 16 efficiency cores, 5.6 GHz max turbo boost), an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-4800 (two SO-DIMMs) and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. The laptop has a somewhat awkward 1920 x 1200 resolution. It’s slightly more pixel-dense than a 1920 x 1080 display but well below the 2560 x 1440 panels we often see in the $2,000 price band for gaming laptops. As a result, all the competitors in this group feature 2560 x 1440 panels because that’s what you’ll typically find in gaming laptops with GeForce RTX 3070/4070-class GPUs these days.

While benchmarking is intriguing, I wanted to spend some time gaming with the ROG Strix G16, so I fired up Overwatch 2. I set all detail settings maxed out at 1920 x 1200 resolution. I maintained 165 fps, matching the 165Hz refresh rate of the display. The 165 fps figure was maintained in just about any scenario while gaming online, even when a lot of action took place on the screen.

In our Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark, the ROG Strix G16 quickly moved to the head of the class at 1080p with 116 fps, just barely beating out the Gigabyte Aorus 15X (Core i9-13900HX, GeForce RTX 4070). The Razer Blade 15 (Core i7-12800H, GeForce RTX 3070 Ti) and HP Omen 16 (Core i7-12700H, GeForce RTX 3070 Ti) tied for third place with 90 fps at 1080p.

Moving to Grand Theft Auto V, the Razer Blade 15 and HP Omen 15 took top honors, hitting 104 fps at 1080p. Unfortunately, the GeForce RTX 4070-equipped ROG Strix G16 and Aorus 15X had to take a backseat. And as you’ll notice, all the other laptops fell significantly in performance at 1440p, which is understandable compared to the ROG Strix’s minimal drop from 1080p to 1200p.

Red Dead Redemption 2 saw the ROG Strix eke out another win at 72 fps over the Aorus 15X at 1080p. However, the Razer Blade 14 and Omen 16 weren’t too far behind. Again, the ROG Strix G16 showed a minimal drop at 1200p, compared to the more precipitous drop for the 1440p laptops.

The ROG Strix G16 and Aorus 15X ran away from their lesser GeForce RTX 3070 Ti-equipped competition in Far Cry 6, with each nearly hitting 100 fps at 1080p. The Razer Blade 15 came in third place with 83 fps, while the Omen 16 pulled up the rear with 66 fps at 1080p.

Finally, our Borderlands 3 test showed an outsized victory for the Aorus 15X, with 151 fps at 1080p. With a stronger CPU and the same GPU, the ROG Strix G16 only mustered 100 fps. We ran this benchmark multiple times to verify our results, but that’s where things stand. The Omen 16 and Razer Blade 15 came in third and fourth place, with 79 and 76 fps, respectively, at 1080p.

In games with DLSS support, such as Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Metro Exodus, quality mode upscaling can generally improve performance by 30–50 percent, sometimes more, and the resulting image quality often competes well against native rendering. DLSS 3 Frame Generation, where supported, can artificially boost the rate of frames sent to your display by 50–100 percent, but it causes additional latency and the actual feel of games with DLSS 3 doesn’t improve nearly as much as the higher FPS would indicate. It’s not a bad option to have, but personal preference becomes a real factor in what Frame Generation does to the overall experience.

To stress-test the ROG Strix G16, we ran Metro Exodus on its RTX preset at 1200p for 15 runs, which takes about half an hour. The system ran the game at an average of 79.35 fps, with all runs falling between 79.10 and 79.66 fps. The Core i9-13980HX’s performance cores ran at an average of 3.93 GHz, while the efficiency cores measured 3.3 GHz. The CPU package measured 76 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, the RTX 4070 ran at an average 1,717 MHz and measured 65.4 C.

Productivity Performance on the Asus ROG Strix G16

Given its Core i9-13980HX processor, the Asus ROG Strix G16 packs some serious firepower for productivity tasks. This is Intel’s flagship Raptor Lake mobile processor, with 24 cores and 32 total threads. The processor performance cores have a maximum turbo clock of 5.6 GHz, while the efficiency cores top out at 4 GHz. Asus then pairs that processor with 16GB of DDR5-4800 memory using two 8GB SO-DIMMs.

Things started strong with Geekbench 5, with the ROG Strix G16 delivering a single-core score of 2,067 and a multi-core score of 18,227. These numbers just slightly outpaced the second-place Gigabyte Aorus 15X. With their less powerful Alder Lake-based processors, the Razer Blade 15 and HP Omen 16 trailed far behind, particularly in multi-core performance.

The ROG Strix G16 came in second place in the file transfer test, which involves copying 25GB of files across the SSD. We measured 1,238.04 MBps during the test, putting it roughly 30 percent slower than the first-place Aorus 15X (1,721.37 MBps). Asus uses a Micron 2400 SSD (MTFDKBA1T0QFM) in the laptop, which isn’t exactly the fastest PCIe 4.0 SSD on the market.

The ROG Strix G16 came in second place in our Handbrake test, which involves transcoding a 4K video to 1080p. It took the laptop five minutes and 5 seconds to complete the task compared to 3 minutes and 55 seconds for the Aorus 15X.

Display on the Asus ROG Strix G16

The Asus ROG Strix G16 features a 16-inch 165 Hz IPS panel with a 1920 x 1200 resolution. Laptops with thisunt of CPU and GPU power typically feature a 2560 x 1440 or 2560 x 1600 display. While our review sample came with a 1920 x 1200 panel, Asus does produce versions of this laptop with a 2560 x 1600 panel, which I think should be the standard here.

I like trying Overwatch 2 when looking at displays because of the bright and colorful palette. The greens and reds popped, and the calming blues of the Greek-focused Ilios map stood out on the ROG Strix G16’s punchy display.

For a more grounded take on the display, I watched Throttle House’s magnificent review of the Lotus Emira. The Emira, painted in a gorgeous British Racing Green, was faithfully represented, and the on-location visuals were stunning. I also caught the final trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Everything from the lava surrounding Bowser’s castle to the pinkish hues of the Sand Kingdom looked faithfully recreated.

In instrumented testing, the ROG Strix G16 wasn’t as vivid as its competitors — namely, the overachieving Razer Blade 15 — but it’s definitely in the running. We measured 75.9 percent of the DCI-P3 and 107 percent of the sRGB color gamuts. Its brightness of 279 nits was enough to score second place behind the HP Omen 16.

Keyboard and Touchpad on the Asus ROG Strix G16

Asus provides a full QWERTY keyboard layout and additional top hotkeys. The hotkeys are programmable and, by default, control volume, microphone, fan settings, and give access to Armoury Crate. You can change the function of the programmable keys using the Armoury Crate software. All of the keys have individual RGB backlighting.

Asus says the keys offer 2 mm of travel, and I found it easy to type on. My fingers quickly felt at home on the keys, which had a soft finish that made them comfortable to use for hours at a time. My go-to test for keyboards is keyhero.com. As I’ve repeatedly mentioned, I’m not the fastest or most accurate typist, but I scored 67.81 words per minute with an accuracy of 97.1{b7c9e2c88beb1a84f22d94ab877a147f4adc4b3519717f3f957a0f34e16918d1}.

Despite its large 16-inch frame, Asus didn’t find the space to fit in a number pad on the ROG Strix G16, which may be disappointing to some (some of my colleagues, however, are glad to go without it). I occasionally reached for the non-existent number pad, only to be stymied every time. Asus does offer versions of the laptop with a number pad integrated into the touchpad, but my review sample did not have this option.

Speaking of the touchpad, it is large (5.12 inches x 3.5 inches) and glass-covered. Although I prefer to use a mouse when using a gaming laptop, the touchpad proved spacious and allowed me to glide easily, be it in everyday apps in Windows 11 Home or when gaming (though for games you’re far better off using one of the best gaming mice).

Audio on the Asus ROG Strix G16

Asus uses a two-speaker system in the ROG Strix G16, which sounds fine. I decided to queue up “What You Won’t Do for Love,” performed by Bobby Caldwell. Although little bass was represented here, Caldwell’s soulful vocals soared, perfectly complemented by the horns and guitar licks.

Circling back to Throttle House’s review of the Lotus Emira, I instantly honed in on the sound of the 3.5-liter V6 engine. While the engine comes from a lowly Toyota Camry, Lotus massaged it and bolted on a supercharger to add over 100 more horsepower. As a result, I could hear the subtle supercharger whine in the background as the V6 revved to its 6,800 revolutions per minute redline. The crackling and burbling of the exhaust while easing off the throttle also came blaring through the speakers.

The audio while gaming wasn’t exactly the ROG Strix G16’s strong point; again, the lack of bass took a lot of the impact out of explosions in games like Grand Theft Auto V and Overwatch 2. However, I cranked the volume without distortion, which helped to drown out the internal fans.

The Dolby Atmos app can adjust audio profiles, including Dynamic, Game, Movie, Music and Voice. I didn’t notice much difference between the settings, so I just left it on Dynamic, which automatically adjusts based on the content being played.

Upgradeability of the Asus ROG Strix G16

I ventured inside the Asus ROG Strix G16 by first removing 11 screws. However, I wasn’t done yet. It takes some careful prying to remove the bottom panel, and I didn’t want to risk damaging the RGB strip that runs along the front of the chassis. So, I started prying near the ethernet port and was able to completely remove the panel.

This gave me access to the internals, including the Micron 2400 PCIe 4.0 SSD situated on the right. A second, unused M.2 slot is on the opposite side of the chassis next to the Intel Wi-Fi 6E card. Located toward the center of the motherboard are the two SO-DIMM slots. Our unit came populated with two 8GB DDR5-4800 SO-DIMMs, but the machine is upgradeable to 32GB (2x 16GB). The battery also appears to be easily replaceable.

Battery Life on the Asus ROG Strix G16

Gaming laptops have earned a bad reputation regarding battery life, but the Asus ROG Strix G16 bucks that trend. Compared to the less powerful Razer Blade 14, the ROG Strix G16 lasted nearly four additional hours. The laptop also lasted at least three hours longer than the HP Omen 16 and the Gigabyte Aorus 15X.

The performance is even more remarkable compared to the similarly equipped Aorus 15X with a larger 99 Whr battery. However, we must remember that the Aorus 15X drives a 240 Hz, 2560 x 1440 display.

Heat on the Asus ROG Strix G16

To test heat output on the Asus ROG Strix G16 while gaming, we ran our Metro Exodus stress test in a loop. This benchmark gets laptops plenty hot, giving us the perfect opportunity to measure heat levels.

We measured the center of the keyboard between the G and H keys, which reported 94 degrees Fahrenheit (34.4 degrees Celsius). That’s right in line with what we’d expect from a gaming laptop, and some get quite a bit warmer. The touchpad was a comparatively cool 78 F (25.5 C).

Image 1 of 2

The bottom of the laptop measured 109F (42.7 C). The hottest part of the laptop – the underside near the hinge/exhaust – measured 119 F (48.3 C).

The fans are clearly audible during gaming sessions, but the pitch is not objectionable and is easily overpowered by the speakers. If you wear headphones while gaming, the sound from the fans is a non-issue.

Webcam on the Asus ROG Strix G16

Although more gaming laptops are transitioning to 1080p webcams, Asus is, unfortunately, sticking to its 720p guns. There’s no guarantee that a higher resolution camera would translate to an immediate boost in image quality, but the fact that Asus didn’t even try on this laptop is disappointing.

As a result, we’re left with performance that is simply average in this class. Unlike the Gigabyte Aero 15X’s 1080p camera which impressed me with its overall quality and low-light performance, the ROG Strix G16’s camera looked as if it was coated in a thin layer of Vaseline. The fine detail in my mustache and beard stubble was lost in translation and low light caused a considerable increase in background noise.

Software and Warranty on the Asus ROG Strix G16

The Asus ROG Strix G16 comes with the standard bloat included in Windows 11 Home, like Spotify, Kindle, WhatsApp, and various trials of Microsoft Office apps. However, Asus includes its own apps, which are useful for customers.

The aforementioned Armoury Crate allows you to monitor system vitals (temperature, clock speeds, memory, storage, etc.), customize the five hotkeys, adjust the Aura Sync RGB lighting and more. MyAsus provides customer service and warranty information along with social media interactions with Asus. Aura Creator is a utility that allows you to create your own custom lighting schemes that can be synchronized between devices.

Other installed apps include Dolby Access, the Realtek Audio Console, and McAfee LiveSafe.

The ROG Strix G16 comes with a one-year warranty.

Asus ROG Strix G16 Configurations

The Asus ROG Strix G16 is available in multiple prebuilt configurations starting from $1,399. Our $1,999 review sample (G614JI-AS94 (opens in new tab)) features an Intel Core i9-13980HX processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, 16GB DDR4-4800 memory, a 1TB SSD, 1200p 165 Hz display and per-key RGB lighting.

All ROG Strix G16 configurations available from Asus come with a Core i9-13980HX processor but are available with GeForce RTX 4050 or RTX 4060 GPUs. Upgraded display options include a 2560 x 1600 display with a 240 Hz refresh rate, and up to a 2TB SSD, taking the price to $2,199.

Bottom Line

Overall, the Asus ROG Strix G16 is a fine entry into the ~$2,000 gaming laptop segment. Its closest competition is the Gigabyte Aorus 15X, which is just $100 more. The Aorus 15X gives you a higher resolution display at 2560 x 1600, but the ROG Strix G16 offers an additional three hours of battery life.

Regarding performance, the Asus ROG Strix G16 is an impressive gaming laptop that continues to show the strength of Intel’s new Raptor Lake mobile processor and Nvidia’s fresh GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs. The laptop has many other strengths, including its solid build quality, RGB lighting that doesn’t go overboard, and comfortable keyboard.

The ROG Strix G16 didn’t ace our file transfer test, but it got second place and performed well in the other productivity tasks. The 1920 x 1200 resolution is a bit of a bummer given the kind of hardware that this laptop is packing, but customers can upgrade to 2560 x 1600 for some extra cheddar. Asus also skimped out on the speakers and webcam, with the latter being a big miss in this work-from-home climate.

Despite these flaws, the Asus ROG Strix G16 deserves to be on your shopping shortlist as a powerful, 16-inch gaming PC in a premium design.

5 mistakes to avoid with your gaming laptop

Gaming laptops have been expanding in reputation for yrs now, and consumers commit important time, power, and revenue to receive a laptop that operates best for their demands. To give them the merchandise they are entitled to, laptop makers get crafting the excellent moveable gaming equipment quite severely. Loads of analysis, budget, and time goes into the development of a gaming laptop computer that balances electric power with portability and aesthetics.

But the do the job to be certain that you have the finest gaming laptop for the great gaming encounter doesn’t commence and conclusion when you section with your tricky-attained funds both. It’s crucial that you do all the things you can to optimize its overall performance in purchase to carry out the very best in your device.

And in buy to best achieve that, there are a number of issues that you must in no way do with your gaming laptop. By preventing these 5 massive ‘don’ts’ and ‘nevers,’ you are going to be well on your way to getting a gaming laptop computer that reaches its complete likely.

1. Never settle for default configurations

The minute you order your gaming laptop computer and plug it in, immediately adjust your performance and battery options. While it seems like a modest adjustment at most effective, leaving your settings at default is a great way to hamper your gaming machine’s general performance, as they’re often intended to restrict its ability to preserve battery daily life.

In Home windows 11, you can alter most of these options by means of the Energy & battery choices. Make sure the mode is established to Overall performance and any slumber alternatives are established to Under no circumstances. Also, go to Display screen options and crank up that refresh charge – you’ll thank me when these Laptop games are working butter clean on your monitor.

In addition, examine if your graphics drivers are adequately up to date. It is simple to think that they’ll be up to date at boot up, but certain you are going to have to have to install at least one particular new update to greatly enhance performance. If you have an Nvidia GPU, download the GeForce Expertise software, and set up the update that way. If you’re making use of an AMD GPU in its place, download the Radeon application from the Drivers + Down load Heart.

2. Do not allow this Windows safety aspect

Since Home windows 11 initial premiered in 2021, there were previously grievances about the VBS (Virtualization Primarily based Security) interfering with gameplay good quality. But at minimum then, you could conveniently toggle off the function and not be concerned about it slowing down your Computer system online games. However, a the latest discovery from our sister web site Tom’s Hardware observed that, immediately after a new OS update, the placing will toggle by itself again on even if you formerly experienced it turned off. This indicates that you could have been enduring average drops in frame price and performance at about 5{b7c9e2c88beb1a84f22d94ab877a147f4adc4b3519717f3f957a0f34e16918d1}, with versions dependent on the recreation of up to 10{b7c9e2c88beb1a84f22d94ab877a147f4adc4b3519717f3f957a0f34e16918d1}.

Though these could look tiny, these general performance drops happen even with an Nvidia RTX 4090, at the moment one of the greatest graphics cards on the market. And if you are acquiring a gaming laptop computer that’s tricked out with this kind of a strong home of a graphics card, then possibilities are you never want to see any sort of drop in framerate or overall performance.

If you need to have to flip off VBS (opens in new tab), it is remarkably easy to do. To start with, look for for Core Isolation and click on it, then toggle the Memory Integrity choice off, and restart your personal computer as prompted. To make confident it is off, go to System Details, and check out if ‘virtualization-dependent security’ is set to ’not enabled.’

Many thanks to Microsoft’s ham-fisted dealing with of the function, you might require to repeat this procedure each and every time you update your Computer. But I’ll make certain to go about accurately what went improper with this Windows 11 update in much much more element in a long run story.

3. Never get it off the AC electrical power

The amount 1 rule for any gaming notebook is that, until you are physically transporting it to yet another area, do not get rid of it from the AC power. Gaming laptops are meant to video game with entry to unrestricted electric power even if you max out the configurations and permit Performance manner, acquiring your rig on battery power will not only drain the most likely mediocre battery in a handful of hours, but it will also negatively influence effectiveness since the notebook is way too occupied trying to continue to keep itself alive to make confident that frame fee is constantly above 100.

It seems counterintuitive, but gaming laptops are not transportable to help gaming on battery electric power at all moments. They are transportable to prevent becoming chained to regardless of what desk it was established up at 1st. The plan is that you can have it to yet another spot, like a friend’s property or an business, and then established it up yet again with small effort. So usually hold that notebook plugged into an outlet.

To aid this together, check out on the Alter innovative energy options in Manage Panel, and make absolutely sure that the following possibilities are set to Under no circumstances for plugged-in: Convert off tricky disk soon after, Switch off Display right after, and Slumber soon after. This prevents your notebook from heading into slumber manner if you leave it idle for as well very long, which would or else interrupt your session.

4. Never ever block the air flow ports

Just as essential to functionality as the finest GPU is a solid ventilation technique. If you have an more mature equipment or one particular with inadequate thermals, you’ll find that all round effectiveness will start to put up with since your notebook has no responsible way to expunge all that further heat accumulating in its factors. So it’s totally vital that you study and look at your potential gaming laptop computer to see how a lot of and in which its vents are located.

Place is crucial, simply because you want a laptop that’s in a position to push out heat from locations that will not be simply obstructed. Great spots include things like the sides and back of your laptop computer, due to the fact those people must be very clear sufficient to regularly dissipate that warmth. The bottom is a further common locale for vents due to that place tending to accumulate the most warmth. Even so, if you block any of these spots, then the fans will have to get the job done more challenging, which diverts power from gameplay effectiveness. This usually means no placing merchandise in the vicinity of any facet or back again vents, and no resting your notebook on a blanket or any cloth as that blocks base vents.

Overclocking

5. Never assume that overclocking will net the very best functionality

The typical strategy of overclocking a gaming Pc or notebook is that by effectively pushing your GPU (or other parts) to its limit, you can net larger efficiency amounts from it, which should really translate to greater and smoother gameplay.

On the other hand, there are lots of elements involved in overclocking which include the approach you opt for, how properly the GPU and CPU engage in alongside one another, and more. And this gen at present appears to be enduring some interesting issues with bottlenecking, mainly since the RTX 4000-sequence GPUs are hampering the efficiency of the 13th-gen Main CPUs.

That claimed, sometimes the finest alternative is to not overclock your gaming notebook, particularly if it’s functioning an RTX 4090. Very first, simply because it is simply not needed. If you have been following all the information in this list, then your notebook really should be already gaming to the greatest of its ability. And second, there look to be instances of even gentle overclocking that negatively has an effect on effectiveness. For instance, the typically properly-executing Lenovo Legion Pro 7i will expertise a substantial fall in body rate if you touch a single selection in the Lenovo computer software that falls under functionality.

Of system, experiment with your gaming rig and see what works ideal for you. But do not be afraid to go away people solutions alone if you discover a reduce in efficiency.
