ASUS ROG ZEPHYRUS G15 REVIEW: AMD AND NVIDIA AT THEIR BEST

 It’s simply the best


At the point when I tried Asus ROG's Zephyrus G14 every year prior, I was blown away. In addition to the fact that it was simply over 3.5 pounds — a weight inconceivable for a framework with both an incredible processor and a discrete GPU — yet it ran even the most requesting games at much preferable edge rates over any gaming PC we'd at any point seen whatsoever size. And afterward all the other things about it — the console, the touchpad, the sound, the battery life — was likewise incredible. The G14 wasn't simply better compared to other gaming PCs in those spaces: it was superior to most different PCs at its value point, period. 


The G14's resonating achievement was inevitable before Asus put it in a 15-inch suspension. The recipe wasn't broken, and Asus didn't fix it — Asus just made it greater. While I had a few inquiries when I heard the G15 was coming (could it convey a similar blend of versatility, battery life, and execution as a 14-inch item? Could it do that without costing more than $2,000?), what's become clear all through my testing period is that the gadget isn't similarly comparable to its 14-inch partner; it's some way or another shockingly better. Asus and AMD have done it again. The G15's clear-cut advantage is its processor. The sum total of what models have AMD's immense eight-center Ryzen 9 5900HS. My test model, evaluated at $1,799.99, sets that chip with Nvidia's new GeForce RTX 3070 (a 80W rendition, with dynamic lift up to 100W), just as 16GB of RAM and 1TB of capacity. This arrangement is a stage over the base model, which incorporates a RTX 3060 and 512GB of capacity. There are likewise two RTX 3080 models — pair it with 16GB of RAM for $1,999.99 or 32GB of RAM for $2,499.99. (I think my test model hits a perfect balance: 512GB of capacity isn't a great deal for a gaming PC, and it seems like the RTX 3080 models are genuinely low-timed and don't perform immensely better compared to the lower-level alternatives. 


Another feature, steady across all models, is the G15's 165Hz QHD show. We're at long last beginning to see 15-inch workstations with QHD screens as once huge mob this year, demonstrating that this is the principal year that producers think portable equipment is adequately incredible to exploit them. Customarily, versatile gamers have had the choice of a 1080p showcase or a 4K presentation. (Not exclusively is the last very costly, yet not many PCs can run requesting games at playable edge rates in 4K. ,Things being what they are, the central issue: Can the Zephyrus G15 run games at QHD goal? The appropriate response is a determined yes. 


Some crude numbers to begin. The G15 found the middle value of 178fps on CS:GO at most extreme settings — dust particles, fires, and other graphically concentrated impacts looked fine and dandy. Red Dead Redemption II, likewise at most extreme settings, arrived at the midpoint of 58fps. (Come on, that is fundamentally 60). Beam following was no issue for this machine: the framework found the middle value of 61 fps on Shadow of the Tomb Raider with beam following on ultra, and an incredible 81fps with beam following off. Keep in mind, the G15 is running these at QHD goal, which is now a greater take than conventional 1080p. 


Those casing rates mean you ought to have the option to run whatever game you need in QHD without knocking down any settings. They put the G15 about comparable to MSI's GS66 Stealth with an Intel Core i7-10870H and a GeForce RTX 3080 Max-Q — the two PCs tied on Red Dead and were only one casing separated on Tomb Raider. MSI let us know that the QHD GS66 model expenses $2,599 — so the G15 with a RTX 3070 is getting a similar edge rates for in a real sense $800 less. The G15 additionally showed improvement over the QHD/RTX 3070 Intel design of the Razer Blade 15 Base (53fps on Red Dead, 46fps on Tomb Raider), which costs $400 more. Those differentials ought to represent themselves. Indeed, the GS66 has a 240Hz screen, however that will be unnecessary for the vast majority at QHD goal. In the event that I didn't as of now have the foggiest idea where the G14 was valued last year, I would email Asus to check in case $1,799.99 was a mistake. It's an extraordinary worth. 


The games all looked extraordinary on this screen, which covers 100% of the sRGB range and 89 percent of Adobe RGB, and maximizes at 334 nits of splendor. It isn't the most noteworthy revive rate screen you can get at 165Hz — Razer's Blade 15 Advanced has a 240Hz QHD model, as does MSI's GS66 Stealth — however it's as yet a critical stage over the Zephyrus G14's 120Hz presentation. While the G15 doesn't convey the best picture I've seen at any point ever, it actually looks incredible and positively enhances the G14's 1080p board. Development was all smooth, without a stammer in sight, and tones looked extraordinary. I saw a limited quantity of glare when utilizing the gadget outside, however it was still very usable at most extreme brilliance.
