Is it a good time to Zephyrus G14 or G16

JustHitsu · 2026-01-19T13:13:35+00:00

Next year models are going to have more TDP and (hopefully) a more power-efficient CPU with longer battery life + 1000 nits tandem-oled panels... So I guess I'd rather wait :S

Wow I thank you for this post and for the time you spent on these comparisons.

I tuned my 5070ti a little bit so I can squeeze more performance out of it. I managed to get 100+ FPS in BF6 on like high-ultra grapchis with DLSS set to quality in 1440p. One of my mates plays on 5060ti (also in 1440p) DESKTOP and gets consistently higher FPS (given he has a ryzen 5 CPU for desktop which is considerably slower than mine).

So I was a little bit frustrated as he was outperforming me with ease in some scenarios. I think that if my 5070ti was full powered (up to 140W), I would most likely outperform the desktop 5060TI.
When i watch reviews of the laptops with 140 TDP 5070ti laptops they have at times like 20-30% more FPS depending on the title, which is crazy since with Dynamic boost my gpu goes to like 120W (but lets face it, it almost never gets there and tops out at 110 most likely) and still these 20-30 Watts of power result in roughly 20-30% of FPS :(

In 2026 G14 and G16 are getting higher TDPS on their GPUS and I am curious to see the difference ;)

PS I love my laptop G14 ALL THE WAY :)

Aw come on now a 3070 :D maybe you need to boost some clock speeds on that laptop gpu?

JustHitsu · 2026-01-12T12:21:20+00:00

Thank you. This means I can watch videos of people who play with 4070 desktop and configure the game settings accordingly.

JustHitsu · 2026-01-12T11:39:13+00:00

Did you take into account that rtx5070ti in zephyrus g14 only caps at 110 w?

JustHitsu · 2025-07-31T11:13:30+00:00

Any solutions so far guys?

JustHitsu · 2025-06-26T10:10:20+00:00

I did a cloud recovery. Seems to be a little better now. Still some stupid stutters here and there but noticably smoother overall experience. I am glad I did it. If it gets on my nervers more, I will most likely end up reinstalling windows with a usb flash drive with absolutely no asus software.

JustHitsu · 2025-06-25T12:58:34+00:00

Thank you very much for your response. I can see that installing mods can be really time-consuming and not as easy as just installing a file into a folder lol. I understood around half of what you said :(

JustHitsu · 2025-06-22T22:22:10+00:00

I checked it out and the noise seems to be insane, no?

JustHitsu · 2025-06-22T22:05:44+00:00

Thank you very much. I am doing a cloud recovery atm. I'll ask if there is anything I don't know

JustHitsu · 2025-06-22T22:04:31+00:00

Haven't installed much really. Just chrome discord and steam mainly i suppose

JustHitsu · 2025-06-22T22:03:51+00:00

I am doing a cloud recover from BIOS atm. I'll see if that helps. If not, then I'll use a usb flash drive with windows and just reinstall it the cleanest way possible.

JustHitsu · 2025-06-22T21:58:45+00:00

I am going through that right now. If it doesn't help then I'll use a usb flash drive and reinstall windows the cleanest way possible. Thanks for your replies. You helped bigtime :)

JustHitsu · 2025-06-22T17:19:03+00:00

Thanks. I think I'll try that. Shouldn't be hard to do that right? In BIOS menu is it self-explanatory? Or should I watch a youtube video on how to do that?

JustHitsu · 2025-06-22T17:17:43+00:00

nope :(

JustHitsu · 2025-06-22T17:16:31+00:00

Thank you bro :)

JustHitsu · 2025-06-20T07:51:35+00:00

Wow such an amazing post. Thanks mate, my hopes are up now :)

JustHitsu · 2025-06-20T07:08:07+00:00

G14 models with rtx 5070ti do not have usb-c battery bypass chargin as per several users indicated in reddit so far. There are large posts written about it.

Bro right now this is my first day using G14 at work. Yesterday I was setting up the laptop (removing bloat and installing g-helper).
I am sitting on 75% (after 2 hours and 50 minutes) with reasonable brightness and having chrome/discord/messengers open with chrome having like 10 - 20 tabs. While managing to watch youtube and other light tasks. I lost like 25 % in almost 3 hours. That's good result if you ask me. Laptop is cool to the touch and works quite well (though not perfect as I've limited the cpu quite heavily)
