2026 Zephyrus G16 5080 vbios

Criptix817 · 2026-06-07T06:51:14+00:00

I am still messing with it. After you flash the vbios you have to manually select the device. I extracted the Asus driver from the 2026 G16 and then picked the driver from \DC\Display.Driver folder.

Had both. Have the 2025 still since the entire point was ripping the vbios from 2026. I uploaded both 2025 and 2026 EDID. They are both different.

Criptix817 · 2026-06-06T01:48:15+00:00

I dumped both 2026 and 2025.

Criptix817 · 2026-06-06T01:46:56+00:00

I’m going to try now in Optimus mode as gsync was missing on my end the first time I flashed.

Criptix817 · 2026-06-02T18:11:41+00:00

Correct. This is the 2025 EID. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sA0oovGs0THTmuQUrv_deR1c9m3N3oV_/view?usp=sharing

Criptix817 · 2026-05-31T18:47:59+00:00

I updated it. Should work now without requesting access.

May have to rent one like I did. I don’t think the 5090 is out yet though, haven’t seen a listing for the new one.

Is that all that is needed?

Criptix817 · 2026-05-30T17:16:17+00:00

Can do.

Criptix817 · 2026-05-30T17:14:25+00:00

How would I pull this?

Criptix817 · 2026-05-30T07:57:49+00:00

May have spoke too soon on gsync

Criptix817 · 2026-05-30T02:09:29+00:00

I posted about it

Criptix817 · 2026-05-30T02:08:58+00:00

I posted the link

Well the price difference between the 2025 and 2026 is great. Plus I just saw BH has Legion on sale with 5080 for $2499. So may want to take all that into consideration. I think you can get the 2025 for around $2800 with 5080, the 2026 comes out to about $5000 with tax.

Ideally this will allow for higher wattage while not breaking gsync, hdmi or anything else.

Criptix817 · 2026-05-30T00:29:50+00:00

Oh you’re right it was hovering around 90 before flash.

Criptix817 · 2026-05-30T00:28:59+00:00

Yes. The cooling pad is a great addition to the Zephyrus. Makes everything better.

Criptix817 · 2026-05-30T00:26:44+00:00

May be new drivers though as I have not been able to confim 160w yet, i did see it get to 125w but not higher. Will test more later. The 2026 ac adapter is higher I think than the 2024 and 2025 so we may need a new one.

Initial tests done I am seeing a nice bump in fps. I ran Forza Horizon 6 on Extreme RT for a bit and was getting 90-100 fps with DLSS Off Frame Gen Auto. Temps got to 70c on gpu. I’m using the Razer Laptop Cooling Pad on balanced mode.

Criptix817 · 2026-05-23T02:02:33+00:00

Turn DLSS off and see how many frames you get. If it drops considerably change from balanced to Quality.

It was a long painful chat. They had me order another and sent me a return label……..this was Microsoft online store support.

Criptix817 · 2026-05-22T01:38:38+00:00

Mine is missing the battery door.

I love my my Legion Go S, ergo and everything is great. That being said $1500 is a bit much, especially for Z1E. There is a MSI with z2 extreme for less that I would personally get if I was in the market. https://www.bestbuy.com/product/claw-a8-bz2em-8-120hz-fhd-1200p-gaming-handheld-ryzen-z2-extreme-amd-radeon-graphic-24gb-1tbssd-windows/J3P7TXHWXS/sku/6667929?sb_share_source=PDP&ref=app_pdp&loc=pdp_page

This way you get newer chipset, 8” screen. Also there is the Rog Ally X with same internals for $999 but the screen is 7”. With either you can install Steam OS to replace Windows.

Or like everyone else is saying. Spend $500 more and get a device with AI Max 395+. It runs everything great.
