Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 GA402R Gaming Laptop Review: AMD Times Two
Asus’s 2022 edition of the ROG Zephyrus G14 comes with two firsts. In addition to AMD’s latest Ryzen 9 6900HS we also find a Radeon RX 6800S for the first time in our lab. On our review unit, this 8-core CPU paired with AMD’s latest high-end GPU has access to 32 GB of DDR5 RAM as well as a 1 TB NVMe SSD, a 16:10 QHD display running at 2560 x 1600 and 120 Hz with allegedly 100 % DCI P3 coverage. And while US prices have not yet been announced our review unit’s MSRP in Europe is 2,299 Euros incl. VAT.
Its main competitors are other 14-inch gaming notebooks, such as the Razer Blade 14 with GeForce RTX 3070 or its immediate predecessor with GeForce RTX 3060. Other competitors include the MSI Delta 15 with Radeon RX 6700M and the Asus ROG Strix G15 with Radeon RX 6800M.

Case
Even though the case remained largely identical Asus did opt for a few minor changes and updates. In addition to added connectivity (hello microSD, bye bye Kensington Lock) and the relocated speakers we would also like to point out the enlarged touchpad as well as the modified keyboard.
An absolute highlight and unique selling point are the AniMe Matrix LEDs on the lid, which are however not available on every SKU. These are tiny punch holes inside the display lid that light up and can be controlled by software for sleek animations (see photo below). All things considered the G14’s case is rather stylish, and we liked Asus’s choice of color in particular. The case looks stunning in “Moonlight White” and definitely stands out among its brethren.
Thanks to its low overall weight of just 1.7 kg (3.75 lbs), which is even less than the Razer Blade 14’s 1.8 kg (4 lbs) the device is very portable. Rather fittingly it is also very compact and thin (19.5 mm/0.77 inches with Matrix LEDs, 18.5 mm/0.73 inches without), and its build quality is fantastic. Despite the use of metal (magnesium) the chassis can feel a bit like plastic, but its surfaces are very well machined and left an overall premium impression.
The laptop’s overall rigidity played a major role in this as well. Save for the area in the middle behind the keyboard the base unit cannot be depressed or warped noticeably. As is often the case the lid is nowhere near as rigid. A clever extra is built into the hinges: when opening the lid the entire device is lifted by a few millimeters for improved air flow and cooling. The lid opens a full 180 degrees, and the hinges do teeter and give in when shaking the device with the lid opened wide enough.
Connectivity
Ports
Apart from the missing RJ45 port and, as is typical for AMD notebooks, the lack of Thunderbolt 4 overall connectivity was very good. Users have access to a total of four USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, two of which are USB-C with DisplayPort signals, a modern HDMI 2.0b port, an audio jack, and last but not least a microSD slot that was suspiciously missing on the G14’s predecessor.
We do, however, have to criticize Asus’s port spacing and distribution. Most ports are located in the middle and front on both sides, which means that by using a wired mouse one might run into space constraints caused by an abundance of cables. We would have at least expected the power port to be located further back.
SD Card Reader
The built-in microSD card reader performed very well overall. With a sequential read performance of 178 MB/s and 151 MB/s when transferring photos using our 128 GB AV Pro V60 reference card it performed above average.

Communication
Despite the fact that Asus decided to forego Intel and Killer for their wireless modem overall Wi-Fi performance turned out to be very good. Our review unit’s MediaTek MT7922 Wi-Fi chip performed as well as its competitors and achieved excellent results both sending (TX) and receiving (RX) data. Keep in mind that these results are not comparable to older test results since we recently replaced the Wi-Fi router used for our benchmarks (Asus GT-AXE11000).

Webcam
The G14’s 720p webcam with support for Windows Hello performed as poorly as expected and produced a blurry and not particularly color-accurate image. We have, however, also seen worse.
Accessories
Included in our review unit’s box were the notebook itself as well as a power supply, which while comparatively compact for a 240 W unit (16.5 x 7.5 x 2.5 cm/6.5 x 2.95 x 0.98 inches) turned out to be relatively large and at 600 g (1.32 lbs) also heavy when compared to the petite laptop itself. A 200 W unit may have been a better fit. According to the Asus homepage the G14 will come bundled with a laptop sleeve, a gaming mouse, and a USB Type-C charger (Power Delivery is supported on one of the two USB-C ports) in selected regions.
Maintenance
A total of 11 philips screws have to be undone before the bottom lid can be removed, some of which are hidden behind rubber feet. Given that one of the corner screws actually lifts the bottom plate up it can be removed without issues or special tools.
Underneath we find a very orderly and uncluttered design. The location of both CPU and GPU is stylized with good-looking images thereof, and they are covered by a spacious cooling system. As is fairly common for Asus gaming notebooks the cooler itself is a combination of vapor chamber cooling paired with liquid metal, which is supposed to improve overall cooling performance. Both fans are oriented towards the rear and sides. In between the cooling system and the ginormous battery, which covers the entire palm rest area, we find a single DDR5 slot as well as a single M.2 slot, both of which were populated on our review unit. We do have to criticize Asus at this point for soldering 16 GB onto the motherboard by default as it negatively impacts upgradability in the long run.
Warranty
By default, Asus notebooks sold in the US come with a single year of warranty. In comparison, our review unit - a retail unit sold in Europe - comes with a full two years.
Input Devices
Keyboard
The Zephyrus G14’s input devices turned out to be surprisingly good for a gaming notebook. The keyboard offers a pleasant clear and precise feedback, and the contrast between the dark letters and the bright background color on the key caps was more than sufficient for excellent readability. At night, the keyboard offers a built-in RGB backlight that supports various modes and can be controlled via software.
The keyboard layout itself was not particularly good, although this criticism is limited mostly to German users that will have to get used to a single-row return key. In addition, the Print and Insert keys had to make way to the now wider yet smaller arrow keys. The keys themselves were sized very well, except for the arrow keys, the F-keys, and the admittedly quite useful extra keys above the keyboard (volume, microphone, tuning software).
Touchpad
Compared to its predecessor, the touchpad received a major overhaul. With a size of 13 x 7.6 cm (5.12 x 3 inches) it is larger than on most other 14-inch notebooks, and it performed very well overall. Precision was great and gestures worked like a charm, and its smooth surface resulted in very smooth finger gliding. Compared to other clickpads without dedicated mouse buttons this touchpad’s clickable areas offer a high stability and punchy feedback.
Display
For many years, the realm of gaming notebooks was dominated by 16:9 panels. This, however, has now started to change, and we can find more and more 16:10 panels in modern gaming laptops. The ROG Zephyrus G14 comes with such a display running at QHD resolution (2560 x 1600) resulting in a high pixel density and accordingly a very sharp image.

* ... smaller is better
Other benefits include a refresh rate of 120 Hz, low response times of less than 10 ms, which allow for adequate playability of fast-pasted games such as first-person shooters, and last but not least a very wide color gamut. According to Asus the display is supposed to cover the DCI-P3 color space in its entirety – a feature seldom to be found in a gaming laptop.
Fans of the outdoors will benefit from its overall high brightness, and while it failed to reached the advertised 500 nits and peaked at just 456 nits it is still very well usable outdoors. Unfortunately, the G14’s contrast ratio of just 1,000:1 and its comparatively high black level of 0.48 nits result in a slight gray haze and tint on what should be black.
Viewing angles are typical for an IPS panel. Given that this panel comes with an X-Rite Pantone certification and therefore a high color-accuracy by default a retroactive calibration is not required. That being said we were able to improve accuracy slightly, and you can download the resulting ICC profile above.

This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (33.9 ms). |
Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
Screen flickering / PWM detected | 27170 Hz | ≤ 35 % brightness setting | |
The display backlight flickers at 27170 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 35 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 27170 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18080 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. |
Performance
Don’t be fooled by its low weight and compact size - the Zephyrus G14 is definitely a high-end laptop with 32 GB of RAM, a 1 TB SSD, and an 8-core CPU that should easily last for many a year to come.
Test Conditions
The preloaded Armoury Crate software turned out to be a true feature monster and seemed rather overloaded and confusing due to the sheer number of settings and options. We ran most of our benchmark with the “Performance” profile selected and ran our 3D and gaming benchmarks with the “Turbo” profile selected. The reason for this discrepancy was the fact that we found the TGB to fluctuate significantly in “Performance” resulting in decreased performance over time. More on that later.
Armoury Crate | CPU PL1 (HWINFO) | CPU PL2 (HWINFO) | GPU Power Draw @Witcher 3 | Noise @Witcher 3 |
Profile: Silent | 90 W | 113 W | ~40 W | 37 dB(A) |

Processor
The Ryzen 9 6900HS, successor to the Ryzen 9 5900HS that powered today’s G14’s predecessor, is a power-efficient variant of AMD’s Ryzen 9 6900HX. Instead of 45 W it comes with a TDP of just 35 W, which means it is particularly interesting for portable high-end laptops. Thanks to support for SMT this 6 nm octa-core CPU can handle 16 simultaneous threads. It runs at between 3.3 and 4.9 GHz and has access to 16 MB of L3 cache.
According to HWiNFO, the CPU was able to draw 100 W PL1 and 125 W PL2 in Performance mode and 125 and 157 W in Turbo mode, respectively. Running CineBench we were able to show that CPU performance is consistent over long periods of time, and the new G14 scored similarly to notebooks equipped with the R95900HX and R9 5900HS. In other words: do not expect significant performance improvements over last gen Ryzen processors. The fact that the Ryzen 9 6900HS can be found at the very top of our performance rating is due to its improved single-core performance.

DPC Latencies
Out of the box, the G14 suffered from pretty major latencies, which we were able to show using LatencyMon. This is an area that definitely requires further refinement.

Storage Devices
Storage devices are a safe bet for Asus, and the included Micron 2450 PCIe 4.0 SSD literally wipes the floor with its competitors. According to AS SSD it scored more than 3,000 MB/s in sequential read and write performance. If you require more storage space you will have to replace the existing drive as the G14 does not feature a secondary M.2 slot.

Graphics Performance
Just like with the CPU Asus went for a power-optimized variant of AMD’s latest GPU in order to remain within the thermal constraints imposed by the small case. Instead of the “regular” Radeon RX 6800M we find a Radeon RX 6800S. In Performance mode it can consume between 55 and 85 W while Turbo mode increases this to up to 105 W, which allows for clock frequencies of 2 GHz and more for this 7 nm chip with 2,048 shaders.
Unfortunately, we find the device’s VRAM to be rather limited as the Radeon RX 6800S in this Zephyrus G14 has to make do with just 8 GB of GDDR6. Considering the requirements of current games higher resolutions and settings require a minimum of 10 GB already. Compare that to the Radeon RX 6800M that comes with 12 GB by default. In our benchmarks, the RX 6800S scored between the RX 6800M and the RX 6700M, with a strong tendency towards the latter rather than the former. Its performance was comparable to a GeForce RTX 3070 and significantly better than last gen’s GeForce RTX 3060.

Gaming Performance
In order to fully assess the Radeon RX 6800S’s gaming performance we benchmarked more than 40 games, and were able to determine as follows. 1) When gaming in lower resolutions, which tend to be CPU-bound rather than GPU-bound, the G14 benefits from its powerful processor and is thus able to occasionally outperform Intel-powered notebooks equipped with RTX 3080 GPUs. This results in a distorted performance rating according to which the RX 6800S appears to be the fastest GPU currently available, so keep this in mind. 2) As is typical for AMD GPUs the raytracing performance is fairly poor and in extreme cases unable to keep up with a GTX 3060. 3) In high resolutions and settings we ran into the VRAM limit as explained above, and found that the AMD GPU suffers more from this than Nvidia GPUs such as the RTX 3070 with 8 GB of VRAM.
All things considered the Radeon RX 6800S performed similarly to a GeForce RTX 3070, not in small part due to its great performance in synthetic benchmarks. Real-world performance, however, will depend greatly on the game engine and vary more than is common for Nvidia GPUs. In other words: some games will perform much better than expected while others will perform much worse. Generally speaking, the Zephyrus G14 is powerful enough to run all current games smoothly at its native 2560 x 1600 resolution in maximum details. Only in Crysis Remastered and Cyberpunk 2077 were we able to record frame rates below 40 FPS in 2560 x 1440 and ultra settings.

When setting the laptop to Performance instead of Turbo mode overall GPU performance consistency suffered greatly. In our Witcher 3 test (60 minutes in FHD/Ultra) the frame rates dropped by around 20, which equals an overall performance drop of 20 %. Asus should definitely improve upon this and ensure a more consistent TGP.

Emissions
Noise Emissions
Noise emissions depend greatly on the selected performance profile. While Silent mode rightly deserves its name (37 dB(A) while running The Witcher 3) we found Turbo mode to produce up to 51 dB(A) when running 3D applications. This level of noise is disturbingly loud without headphones. Performance mode, which is pictured in the graphs below, turned out to be a decent compromise between performance and noise emissions. 43 dB(A) while running The Witcher 3 is less than all of the G14’s competitors managed to achieve (between 44 and 53 dB(A)). The same can be said for its peak of 45 dB(A).
We also liked the G14’s idle performance. Unlike many other laptops the G14 never ramped up its fans unnecessarily high, and while the fans were never really completely silent we found their noise emissions to be acceptable and unobtrusive. This was also true when running low-load workloads such as office applications, video streaming, or browsing the web.

Temperature
Temperatures were neither particularly high nor particularly low. When idle case temperatures dropped to around 30 °C while under load we found the rear half of the laptop to heat up much more than the front half. A maximum of 55 °C are too high gaming with the device rested on your lap.
As expected, CPU and GPU were locked in a battle for power and cooling. 60 minutes into our stress test running Furmark and Prime95 simultaneously the RX 6800S reached over 80 °C while the Ryzen 9 6900HS managed to heat up to over 90 °C, both of which are high but not yet critically so. Please keep in mind that these results were achieved in Performance mode, and that the results will vary in Turbo and Silent mode.
(-) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 55 °C / 131 F, compared to the average of 40.4 °C / 105 F, ranging from 21.2 to 68.8 °C for the class Gaming.
(-) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 55 °C / 131 F, compared to the average of 43.2 °C / 110 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 28.2 °C / 83 F, compared to the device average of 33.8 °C / 93 F.
(-) Playing The Witcher 3, the average temperature for the upper side is 46.1 °C / 115 F, compared to the device average of 33.8 °C / 93 F.
(-) The palmrests and touchpad can get very hot to the touch with a maximum of 42 °C / 107.6 F.
(-) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.9 °C / 84 F (-13.1 °C / -23.6 F).

Speakers
Asus managed to include a total of four speakers in the G14’s compact case, two at the top and two at the bottom. This 4.0 sound system performed surprisingly well in our audio tests, with accurate mids and highs and, as expected for a notebook, a bass that leaves much to be desired. Its maximum volume of 80 dB(A) should be loud enough for most applications and scenarios.

Battery Life
The included Armoury Crate software includes a so-called MXU switch, which allows to switch between load-based graphics switching and dGPU only (which we had activated for our 3D and gaming benchmarks only). This combination of energy-efficient iGPU,an overall rather low power consumption, and a large 76 Wh battery results in a very long battery life of 18 hours when idle (minimum brightness in Silent mode) and 9.5 hours when browsing the web on Wi-Fi (brightness normalized to 150 nits) – impressive for a notebook with this level of high-end hardware. This battery life combined with the bright 14-inch display turn the G14 into a perfect travel companion.
In battery mode the CPU-performance suffers only a little bit, while the GPU-performance goes down about 40 % (tested with 3D Mark 11).

Verdict
In the past, the ROG Zephyrus G14 has already been a very interesting, exciting, and rather unique gaming notebook with a compact and lightweight case for improved overall versatility.
With the current generation, Asus managed to up the ante once more.
While the CPU did not perform any faster than the predecessor’s (Ryzen 9 6900HS vs 5900HS) overall GPU performance made a giant leap. Apart from raytracing performance this gen’s Radeon RX 6800S is so much faster than last gen’s RTX 3060 that almost all games will run perfectly smooth in highest settings at the display’s native resolution of 2560 x 1600.
This 16:10 QHD display is one of the G14’s key benefits and unique selling points. In addition to its high brightness, we also liked its color space coverage as well as its high refresh rate of 120 Hz. Further benefits include powerful speakers, good input devices, and a well thought-out and modern cooling system. Fans of sleek design will also like the G14, not least thanks to its very stylish Anime Matrix LEDs on the lid.
The G14’s most prominent competitor, the Razer Blade 14, has finally met its match.
Price and Availability
The ROG Zephyrus G14 is currently not yet available for purchase in North America, and prices have not been announced yet. It is, however, already listed on Asus USA’s website.
