I currently have a 2021 GA401QM. It's upgraded to 32GB and 1 TB (previously 16gb and 512gb). But I wanted to upgrade for lots of upgrades (like the 2k oled screen). Is it really that big of a difference?
I'm thinking of picking up one that I found barely used for about $1000. Not sure what model but it has a Ryzen 9 270, 16gb ddr5, 1tb, rtx 5060, OLED 3k 120Hz.
Will this last me a couple years in terms of gaming performance or will it become substandard soon? And is this a good deal? I don't want to put 1000 dollars into this guy when I could put a little more into something with a bit more power. I would like to play the latest games on this laptop but for the most part I usually play middle of the road games in terms of graphical necessity.
Hello all, I’m a bit confused with how the USB-C speed is rated on the laptop sides.
The left one, which I’ve understood is only connected to the iGPU(AMD RADEON 780M), however the USB-C on the right side is for dGPU(RTX 4060)
I’m using the graphics mode on ultimate with gHelper rather than standard to get the maximum out of the 4060.
I’m kinda confused if the right side port is slower as it’s only 10Gbps compared to the 40Gbps port on the right which also has power delivery.
Laptop Specs:
GA403UV G14 2024
AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS
RTX 4060
32GB RAM
Monitor Specs:
ASUS ROG STRIX OLED 27ACDMS (2560x1440)
Bought the 1440p monitor a month ago to play newer titles with some 20 percent performance increase with the slightly lower resolution than the laptop display of 1800p.
I’ve been playing Forza Horizon 6 since the 19th when it was released on steam and the recommended settings were ‘High’. Still I managed to tweak some settings to target 60fps by changing most options to ultra ( texture, screen space reflections, SSGI, Shadows, Night Shadows, volumetric fog etc.) some settings to Extreme( particle effects, lens effects, car detail, car reflection quality etc.) and some settings to High ( LOD, shader quality, deformable terrain)
I’m using DLSS on balanced with 0.6 sharpness and Frame Gen on Auto. This gets me around 65-72fps but the pop-ins on textures and some trees and input lag which is noticeable breaks the immersion. I badly want to use the DLAA without frame gen if it allows me as it’s the best visually appealing result. But it only gets me to 48-59fps without frame gen when I start the game and keeps getting worse as I play on or during the night time.
I’ve also noticed on the system tray that the dGPU is used by msedge.exe, steam and some other apps which I don’t remember now, maybe they’re using up the available memory from the 8 gigs as well?
I’m using the laptop always plugged in with a llano V12 cooler on 1400rpm.
Is the 10Gbps port limiting the transfer rate of data to the monitor from the RTX4060? Should it have been the 40Gbps port for the dGPU ?
If I connect the USB-C/display port to the left side, will it have better or worse performance ? Would it power up the 4060 while gaming in tandem with the iGPU ?
Maybe I’m just frustrated to see a higher number on the other port which I can’t use and it’s annoying.
3.Anyone playing FH6 on the G14 and have similar or better results ?
Apologies for the long post in advance. Just obsessed with getting the right answer.
I recently posted here about having charging problems with my 2025 g14. Initially, I thought I somehow broke my charger as I could charge my laptop properly using USB-C.
After some fiddling around, I was able to replicate the issue, there is an apparent driver conflict with Ghelper and Asus Services. Whenever I turn my laptop on and I plug the charger in, it wouldn't charge at all, the laptop would not detect it. I have to go to Ghelper, and stop and re-start Asus Services for it to charge.
Now I'm wondering which of these services should I remove to solve my problem. I know I could just wipe my laptop and just install Ghelper but I have 2+tb of files on sole drive and I don't want to do a complete wipe unless it is absolutely needed.
What does your fan curve on turbo while gaming look like?
Hi all, I have G14 2022 model, I noticed that in G-Helper CPU temp shows 90° exact after windows started. No any programs loads my laptop, windows task manager show less than 10% CPU load. And it really became hot when touching it with my hands from the bottom side. If I force CPU fan to cool CPU, by editing fan curves in g-helper, it can drop temps to 70°-75°, with fans rpm about 5000. But after I reset fan curves to defaults, CPU becomes hot again. There is no dust in air vents, it looks quite clear, I clean them with compressed air from time to time. Is my liquid metal cooked? Is it need to be replaced to other portion on liquid metal, or it is better to replace it with thermal paste
I want to enable G-Sync, but to do so in the NVIDIA Control Panel I need to switch the display mode to “NVIDIA GPU only.” The issue is that when I’m not gaming, I would prefer to keep using the integrated GPU to save battery life, and only activate the NVIDIA GPU with G-Sync when I’m gaming. Is this possible?
After 3 years liquid termopaste got out of cage and destroyed part of gpu and maybe cpu also idk.i went to support center and they said you should not tilt your laptop and do heavy work on it for hours.(I use it for render and work in 3 d modeling programs).this was after i diaabled GPU from device meneger(also gpu was giving me same screen and i underclock it and 1/4 all the stats of it and when it crashed again i disabled it and now this happened).there is any way to fix this? Temperature seems fine i done benchmarks coolers doing fine.but sometimes it crashes sometimes not.i dont even know what to do.
I recently bought an open box - excellent condition ROG zephyrus g14 32 gig Ryzen 9 Nvidia 5070TI. When the computer isn't crashing, I love it. But today it crashed and restarted probably 6-8 times and i wasn't on it that much. It usually happens when you start a game or you're not gaming at all. It hasn't crashed while playing anything, but it did freeze in the main menu of a game at least once.
I've read this is a known issue with the new ones and most people seem to be blaming the Nvidia drivers. Has anyone figured out a fix for this? I completely uninstalled armoury crate and downloaded g-helper but that didn't change anything. Everything is up to date. I'm considering returning this for a new one because I'm sure this is why it was returned in the first place, but I'm worried a new one won't be any better.
What do you all think? I travel for work and really like the size and weight of the g14 and would like to stick with one if I can.
Edit: I forgot to mention I had it sitting on the table, closed in sleep mode and out of nowhere I heard the ROG startup horn 3 times in about a minute. Opened it up and it was at some password recovery blue screen.
I'm intending to buy a 5070ti + AMD HX 370 + 32GB ram model.
What can I expect prices to drop to in July/august for back to school sales? I'm okay with open box in good condition.
Or should I just go on ahead and buy one off eBay now?

I'm selling it because I want to upgrade to a desktop computer. Price is negotiable.
I'm available for any questions.
Pulled the trigger on this thinking it was a good deal. Is it though? It's a 2TB variant.
My concerns are:
could this be refurbished ?
The warranty is till Nov 2026, I've heard it's common to start from date of manufacturing and later extending. But this is not a licenced seller so can I extend by paying extra ? Or do I need proper invoice to claim warranty?
return is only accepted if sent back as new.
Just wanted to know how big of an upgrade it is to go from the 4070 Intel 185H 16 GB RAM to the 5070 TI 285H and 32 kg in terms of day-to-day tasks snappiness and multitasking. I don’t care about gaming that much. The gaming performance is good with the 4070 but sometimes it just isn’t as snappy and smooth in terms of workflow people who owned the new one or upgraded can you tell how big of a upgrade is it it is it worth paying an extra thousand dollars?
Starting today, my 2025 G16 5070ti had a blue screen while I was shutting it down, and the code indicated it was an nvidia related issue.
Just now, I started playing and after an hour or so, artifacts and model glitches started appearing in game. My GPU temps are around 75C.
Another issue i noticed long ago was that Gsync is not available on my GPU, but that appeared after I uninstalled Armoury Crate and started using GHelper.
My laptop is only 3 months old and I still within warranty. I want to know if these glitches and artifact patterns or shapes are often associated with hardware issues or software.
I will try reinstalling the graphics drivers just in case.
Looking at best buys listing and it seems it will only be available with 16gb ram. Asus usa doesn't list memory that I can find in specs. Are they only putting in 16gb as well?
I haven’t the slightest idea of the best way to run my games on my 2026 z g14 without it feeling like I microwaved it for 30 minutes. Any advice?
I bought the g14 2025 5070ti model about a month ago but I've been having a whole lot of bsod crashes.
so I did some digging and trouble shooting but the past month of owning this laptop has been hell. everyday I'd get hit with a bsod with the nvlddmkm.sys error. it's been happening since day 2 of owning but not too frequently. I've been noticing it more and more tho.
I'm on balanced mode, stock settings tried ddu and an older driver as well as the latest drivers changing to power mode in Nvidia app adjust scaling settings I'm using a cooling pad + original charger
the crash would happen randomly, from waking to loading a game to browsing the web
rma? or software issue?
I wanted to buy the zephryrus g16 2025 5080 variant but in reviews. I see this area above keyboard heats up a lot. That isn't really a concern for me but I am seeing that the display gets the heat as well. Anyone who have the device can please tell if the display gets very hot. Will that affect the oled? Even g14 users help
Picked up a 5090 64gb G16 for 2900$. However I notice after a few benchmarks in time spy my cpu score tends to vary all the way from 11k (the best as shown) to 8k where as my gpu is very consistent. I mostly play cpu bound games like marvel rivals so I’m wondering if this is just run to run variability or an issue Any idea? Have Ghelper w the default custom turbo curve on. Also have the laptop propped up.
I found a listing on ebay for new G14 2025 with 5070ti for £2,150. Is this a good deal ? it was asus warrenty till Nov 2026.
There doesn't seem to be any good reviews of 2026 model yet and all the available reviews say 2026 is much better than 2025 but don't buy it because of the price.
2026 5070ti model on Asus website with student discount is £2950.
I'm so confused, don't know which one to buy. Need to future proof for a few years. Don't mind spending the extra if it means, its gonna last longer !
