Spec-wise, the 2022 ASUS ROG Strix G15 series is built on the latest AMD and Nvidia hardware available to date. The Ryzen 9 6900HX is an AMD Rembrandt 6000 processor, with 8 Cores and 16 Threads. It’s a revision of the Ryzen 9 5900Hx from last year, built on the updated Zen3+ 6 nm technology, with improvements in design, IPC, and efficiency. At its core, though, the Ryzen 9 6900HX is an incremental update of the 5900HX available in the 2022 ROG models.

These are the same options offered on the 15-inch Scars as well, but the exact panels are actually a little different. We have the QHD Chi Mei panel option on this unit, while the FHD is included on the lower-tier configurations with the RTX 3060 dGPU. For this 15-inch model, the layout includes a full set of main keys, smaller and spaced-out arrows, and two extra function groups, with the set at the top-left controlling audio and fan profiles, and the column at the very right including media controls, Del and PrtScr. I would have preferred if Asus implemented Home/End/Pg/Up/PgDn in that right extra column, instead of media controls, but overall this is a good layout. Home/End etc. are available as secondaries binned to the arrows. On the G15’s left edge you’ll find two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports that top out at 5Gbps, and the rear serves up another full-size USB port and a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port that supports 10Gbps transfers, power delivery, and DisplayPort. There’s an HDMI 2.0b output, too. That’s fine for mainstream gaming, but the Razer goes further, with faster USB ports, Thunderbolt 3 support and HDMI 2.1.The Asus ROG Strix G15 G513’s RTX 3070 has the usual 8GB of memory and 5120 stream processors, and in this machine it’s allowed to run with a peak TDP of 130W – about as high as Nvidia allows this GPU to go. ASUS ROG Strix G15 G513RW-HF004W. Product type: Notebook, Form factor: Clamshell. Processor family: AMD Ryzen™ 7, Processor model: 6800H, Processor frequency: 3.2 GHz. Display diagonal: 39.6 cm (15.6"), HD type: Full HD, Display resolution: 1920 x 1080 pixels. Internal memory: 16 GB, Internal memory type: DDR5-SDRAM. Total storage capacity: 1 TB, Storage media: SSD. On-board graphics card model: AMD Radeon 680M. Operating system installed: Windows 11 Home. Product colour: Grey For the 2022 generation, the ROG Strix lineup is where Asus offers the latest AMD and Nvidia hardware platforms, as the Scar 2022 is an Intel-exclusive implementation now. Update: If interested, the ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 review here is a similar Ryzen + RTX configuration running at higher power and lower temperatures. the dual-screen format makes it much more expensive, though. The keyboard on the 2022 ROG Strix G is identical to the one on the ROG Strix Scar with this generation, both implementations with standard rubber-dome switches.

The differences are within the margin of error, with slightly better efficiency with video streaming for the 2022 generation. These runtimes are also much better than on the Intel-based 2022 ROG Scar series, especially with video and light use. Last year, the ROG Strix G15 G513 was one of the best gaming laptops in terms of value. You got an amazing amount of performance, without draining your bank account at the same time. Well, now, we have the refresh of this same notebook, which is credibly named the ROG Strix G15 G513R. It is good to see that ASUS hasn’t gone the easy route and just put a new CPU inside their old laptop. Instead, you now have Wi-Fi 6E for a more stable wireless connection, while the Ethernet port supports 2.5 Gigabit speeds. Today, you’re also going to find out how the 1440p 165Hz panel performs, and you will be happy to know, that the laptop features a MUX switch. This means that the dedicated GPU can directly communicate with the integrated display, leaving no frame unrendered.Our “Design and Gaming” profile delivers optimal color temperature (6500K) at 140 cd/m2 luminance and sRGB gamma mode. NVIDIA DLSS gives games a speed boost with uncompromised image quality. Crank up the settings and resolution for an even better visual experience.

G513RW-HF004W

These aside, you should keep in mind that the laptop runs averagely loud on this Turbo profile, at somewhere around 45-49 dB between loads. In comparison, the Intel Scar 15 variant runs at a more stable level at 48 dB in all loads. For the RAM and storage options, the laptop offers two accessible memory DIMMs and two M.2 SSD slots. Our unit shipped with 16 GB of DDR5-4800 RAM in dual-channel and a middling PCIe 4.0 Micron 2450 SSD. The next figure shows how well the display is able to reproduce really dark parts of an image, which is essential when watching movies or playing games in low ambient light.
