Asus ROG Strix G15 G512LW Laptop Review: Much Better Than The G512LI

No throttling. The Asus system utilizes liquid metal for its CPU over traditional thermal paste. Though Turbo Boost sustainability is excellent, core temperatures remain balmy at about 80 C when gaming.

Whereas the Asus ROG Strix G15 G512LI comes with the GeForce GTX 1650 Ti and 144 Hz display, the Asus ROG Strix G15 G512LW comes with the much more powerful GeForce RTX 2070 and an even faster 240 Hz display. Both models otherwise share the same chassis but with a couple of important differences that we will note in this review.

We recommend checking out our review on the G512LI to learn more about the physical features of the G512LW since almost all of our existing comments still apply. This page will explore the performance and display differences between the G512LW and G512LI and other 15.6-inch gaming laptops like the MSI GP65 or Alienware m15 R3. Our configuration can be found on Computer Upgrade King for about $1500 USD and up depending on RAM and storage.

Communication

The Intel AX201 comes standard for Wi-Fi 6 connectivity and Bluetooth 5.1. Average transmit rates are strangely slower this time around at 790 Mbps when connected to our Netgear RAX200 router. Results would not improve even after resetting our router and laptop.

Display

The 240 Hz Sharp panel on our G512LW is superior to the 144 Hz Panda panel on the cheaper G512LI in every way. Most importantly, contrast, color space, and black-white response times are significantly better for a visual experience that reflects the four-digit price tag. We've complained about Panda panels in the past and so it's a relief to not see one on the enthusiast-level G512LW.

The display could have been better calibrated considering the price range. Color temperature is overly warm out of the box which impacts average grayscale and color accuracy. After calibrating the panel ourselves, accuracy would improve noticeably across the board. We recommend an end-user calibration if possible or at least manual adjustments to grayscale for a better picture.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
10.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 5.2 ms rise
↘ 5.2 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 22 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.6 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
16 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 8.4 ms rise
↘ 7.6 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 24 % of all devices are better.
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)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM detected 23580 Hz ≤ 29 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 23580 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 29 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 23580 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 18110 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Performance

All benchmarks below were performed on Asus Turbo mode. We recommend owners become familiar with Armoury Crate as the power profiles are tied directly to this software.

Processor

Multi-thread CPU performance is about 5 to 10 percent faster than the average laptop in our database equipped with the same Core i7-10750H CPU. Performance sustainability is excellent and even a bit better than the G512LI as shown by our CineBench R15 xT loop test below.

System Performance

PCMark 10 scores are where we expect them to be except for Digital Content Creation where our system scores lower than the G512LI. We suspect that the slow write rates of our Toshiba M.2 SSD may be the culprit as most other laptops in this category tend to come with much faster storage drives. The Samsung PM981a, for example, is almost three times faster in this aspect.

GPU Performance

Graphics performance is within a few percentage points of the average mobile GeForce RTX 2070 in our database. A full-fledged desktop GeForce RTX 2070 is about 10 to 20 percent faster according to 3DMark benchmarks. Choosing the G512LW over the GTX 1650 Ti-powered G512LI will net users approximately two times more graphics horsepower.

Note that graphics performance is slightly faster when set to Turbo mode (7826 points in Time Spy graphics) versus Performance mode (7543 points).

Emissions

System Noise

Fan noise is louder than what we recorded on the G512LI despite the beefed up cooling solution. Running Witcher 3 on performance mode and Turbo mode would induce a fan noise of 52.6 dB(A) and 54.1 dB(A), respectively, compared to just 47.9 dB(A) to 49.3 dB(A) on the G512LI. This is as loud or louder than the Razer Blade 15 or MSI GP65 both of which are smaller in size than the Asus.

For undemanding loads like video streaming or web browsing, the system is never truly silent even when set to "Silent" mode. Fan noise tends to hover around 30 to 34 dB(A) which, while not particularly bothersome, is certainly noticeable. We recommend running on Silent mode to reduce random fan pulsing.

Temperature

Surface temperatures are slightly different than on the G512LI because the G512LW incorporates additional ventilation along the right edge of the chassis. As a result, the right edge of the laptop will be much warmer than this same spot on the G512LI. The palm rests and most of the keyboard keys remain cooler to the touch especially when compared to ultra-thin unibody gaming laptops like the Razer Blade 15.

Stress Test

When stressed with Prime95, the CPU would boost to 4.2 GHz without dropping thereafter to mirror our CineBench R15 xT loop test results above. The laptop is able to maintain high Turbo Boost clock rates indefinitely.

Running Witcher 3 on Turbo mode would result in slightly faster clock rates (1725 MHz vs. 1650 MHz) and memory rates (1405.2 MHz vs. 1375.2 MHz) than Performance mode without affecting core temperatures since fan RPM would also rise slightly. CPU and GPU temperatures would plateau at about 80 C and 74 C, respectively, compared to just 60 C each on the slower G512LI when under similar gaming conditions.

Running on battery power will impact performance. A 3DMark 11 test on batteries would return Physics and Graphics scores of 9811 and 10435 points, respectively, compared to 13512 and 27298 points when on mains.

Energy Management

Power Consumption

Idling on desktop will demand between 16 W and 31 W depending on the brightness and power profile. Otherwise, gaming will demand about 187 W to be similar to what we recorded on the MSI GP65 10SFK equipped with the same CPU and GPU. Consumption is about 2x greater than the G512LI which aligns with the 2x greater graphics performance mentioned above.

Note that the G512LW ships with a larger 240 W AC adapter (~16.5 x 7.5 x 3.2 cm) compared to the 150 W AC adapter for the G512LI due to the more demanding RTX 2070 GPU.

Battery Life

Asus has upped the battery capacity from 48 Wh on the G512LI to 66 Wh on our G512LW. Subsequently, WLAN runtimes are almost two hours longer at just under 6.5 hours of real-world WLAN use. Recharging from empty to full capacity still takes less than 1.5 hours.

Verdict

In review: Asus ROG Strix G15 G512LW. Test unit provided by Computer Upgrade King
In review: Asus ROG Strix G15 G512LW. Test unit provided by Computer Upgrade King

A poor display can ruin an otherwise good gaming laptop. While the less expensive ROG Strix G15 G512LI performs well, its slow display response times and limited color reproduction would make the gaming experience feel subpar. Fortunately, the G512LW uses an entirely different panel that's better fit for the target audience of hardcore or competitive gamers.

Key drawbacks remain all of which are common on the G512 series. The Armoury Crate power profiles continues to clash with the Windows power profiles. Turbo mode in particular is necessary to get the most performance out of the G512 meaning maximum fan noise will be inevitable for many gamers. Meanwhile, dimensions are large especially in length due to the protruding rear. Thunderbolt 3, webcam, SD card reader, and even Asus Keystone are all absent which may irk users who rely on these features. There's a lot of power and expandability under the hood if you can deal with the large footprint, small arrow keys, and loud fans.

Excellent performance at decent temperatures especially given the full-power GeForce RTX 2070 inside. Owners will like the 240 Hz display and expandable RAM and storage, but the loud fans could be bothersome without a pair of headphones.
