Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QY

Asus has been offering high-quality gaming laptops under the ROG Strix brand for a few years now. With the Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QY, we now have a first sample from AMD and Asus featuring the latest AMD Radeon RX 6800M. AMD intends to compete with Nvidia's RTX 3000 mobile GPUs with it. We'll see if this endeavor succeeded later on. The rest of the Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QY's configuration is also impressive: With the AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX, an ultra-modern octa-core processor runs under the hood and provides a lot of power. Thanks to the Zen 3 architecture, the SoC's performance has increased significantly both in single and multi-core applications. RAM isn't lacking either at 16 GB. At the same time, the SSD of only 512 GB is rather small for a gaming device. However, this configuration shouldn't be considered to be final, because this is a pre-production device that can still be modified up until its official market launch.

Only powerful gaming laptops with the latest Nvidia GPUs are suitable as comparison devices for this review. You'll find a list in the following table, below the device details.

Case - A lot of plastic and a bit of RGB

The case of the Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QY is made of plastic and metal. There are hardly any color details, because the device is completely black except for smaller accents. A plastic cover above the keyboard can be exchanged. The red cover can optionally be replaced with a silver or a dark, transparent cover. The display lid is decorated with an Asus logo, which also features a discreet backlight. The inside also somewhat emphasizes the gaming nature of the laptop by covering the base unit's right side with several small ROG letters. There's nothing to criticize in terms of workmanship. The surfaces also feel high quality and offer a good grip. Nevertheless, the device produces slight creaking noises when you try to twist it. The base unit offers good rigidity; however, since the display lid is made of aluminum, we would have expected a slightly better form stability. The lid absorbs localized pressure well, though, so that no ripples are visible on the display.

The hinges are quite smooth, and due to the laptop's own weight, the display can also be opened easily with one hand. At the same time, the maximum opening angle of about 120 degrees isn't very wide.

The Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QY's footprint isn't that much larger compared to the competition, placing the device in the midfield. Only the two Alienware devices are a bit more protruding in their dimensions. However, our Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QY is the heaviest at around 2.5 kilograms.

Connectivity - Leaves nothing to be desired!

The port configuration of the Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QY is generous and also sensibly distributed. There are no ports on the right side, which gives the user enough room to use a mouse on the right side of the device. Consequently, the available ports are distributed across the left side and the back. A total of four USB ports is sufficient, and the USB-C port also offers the option of connecting an external display directly to the dedicated AMD Radeon RX 6800M using an adapter, and without having to take a detour through the SoC's iGPU, which is the case, unfortunately, when using the HDMI port that is included as well. In terms of performance, the use of the USB-C port for video output results in a gain of up to 10%. A card reader is not available.

Communication

A fast WiFi-6 AX module is installed in the Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QY, providing the latest standard. The router also has to support Wi-Fi 6 AX in order to be able to take full advantage of this performance. At the time of testing, we were only able to use a router with the AC standard. But there were no difficulties or unwanted connection drops with this combination, either. Those who prefer wired connections can also make use of these. The Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QY offers an RJ-45 port at the back that allows data transfers at up to 1 Gb/s.

Accessories

The laptop comes with the 280-watt power adapter and two additional plastic covers that can be interchanged on the base unit according to the user's taste.

Maintenance

Maintenance tasks are actually relatively simple to carry out once the base cover has been removed. You should use the right tools, though, because the gaps are very narrow, and many plastic clips keep the cover firmly in place even after all the screws have been removed. Nevertheless, users don't have many options for expansion. The RAM slots are fully occupied, and only one additional mass storage device (M.2-2280) can still be installed.

Warranty

Since this is a pre-series device, we're unable to provide precise information regarding the warranty. The manufacturer will probably offer a 24-month warranty with Pickup and Return service, just like with the rest of its lineup.

Input devices

Keyboard and touchpad

Asus uses a six-row chiclet keyboard without a numeric keypad but with complete RGB backlighting. This is the same model that is also used in the Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QR. The same advantages and disadvantages also apply, such as the very small arrow keys. There is no explanation for this in terms of space, though. The keyboard of the Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QY is good, the pressure point is clearly perceptible, and the stroke is slightly muffled. Nevertheless, this doesn't lead to a mushy typing experience. In addition, there are a few multimedia control keys for easier use. However, our test sample loses the comparison with a classic mechanical keyboard. The relatively quiet typing noise should be highlighted as a positive aspect.

Asus also bases the ClickPad on the identically built Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QR and offers a good size of 13 x 7.7 cm. The smooth surface normally allows for precise inputs. The bottom input buttons make themselves noticed with a quiet click when pressed. The touchpad supports standard two-finger gestures. 

Display - 300 Hz and no PWM

Subpixel structure

Our review sample is equipped with a matte Full HD IPS panel, and with its high 300 Hz refresh rate, it offers an extremely fast picture. Alternatively, the Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QY will likely be available with a WQHD display, just like the Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QY. It offers a slightly higher resolution, but the refresh rate is only 165 Hz. The Adaptive Sync option that is supported by the built-in display should also be mentioned.

With an average brightness of 283 cd/m², our test sample suffers in comparison, but it offers a decent contrast ratio due to the low black level. Nevertheless, you have to deal with some clouding at the display's edges. Fortunately, no PWM is used for brightness control. The response times of 8 and 10 ms, respectively, are roughly on par with the competition.

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 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 5 ms rise
↘ 5 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. » 21 % 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
8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 3 ms rise
↘ 5 ms fall
The screen shows fast response rates in our tests and should be suited for gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 15 % 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 not detected

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.

As expected, our review sample performs well in the viewing-angle test. The IPS display has stable viewing angles. Only when viewing the screen from flat and oblique angles does a slight fogging occur. However, there shouldn't be any problems during normal use. The matte surface helps to make outdoor use a bit more tolerable, although places in the shade would be preferable.

Performance - Solidly equipped gaming laptop

With the AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX and the brand-new AMD Radeon RX 6800M, our test device offers a very good foundation for playing even the most cutting-edge games on a laptop. The 16 GB of DDR4-3200 RAM run in dual-channel mode and are sufficient for most applications for now. However, the 512 GB SSD only offers limited storage space for a gaming laptop.

System performance

The entire system benefits from the very powerful individual components and not least from the fast NVMe SSD. During the test period, the device always performed quickly and without noteworthy latencies. Even running multiple applications at the same time doesn't bring the device to its knees that fast.

Note: The built-in RAM runs in dual-channel mode. Nonetheless, the performance of the modules installed in the Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QY is not optimal. Linus Tech Tips has also taken a look at this problem and was able to achieve a significant performance increase (about 10%) with a different RAM kit. Application benchmarks as well as games benefited from this. We'll try to arrange for a different RAM kit, so we can show you the performance differences in detail once again. In the AIDA64 memory test, our test sample showed similar performance to that seen in the video from Linus Tech Tips.

AMD Radeon RX 6800M (source: AMD)
AMD Radeon RX 6800M (source: AMD)

Our test device is equipped with AMD's latest model, the AMD Radeon RX 6800M. The mobile variant of the 6000 series is based on the RDNA2 architecture, and it's also the first time that RT cores for ray tracing computations are available here. With 12 GB of VRAM, the AMD Radeon RX 6800M has plenty of memory, which is convenient for many applications.

In the 3DMark benchmarks, the AMD Radeon RX 6800M in the Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QY shows a strong performance. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 laptop GPU is often close, and the new AMD GPU can even claim first place in the Fire Strike benchmark. AMD specifies the AMD Radeon RX 6800M with a TDP of 140 watts+, which means that it can still be overclocked using Asus' Armoury Crate tool. We chose the "Turbo" preset for this review.

Performance is somewhat limited on battery power. However, in a 3DMark11 run, the Strix G15 still managed to achieve almost 75% of its original score when plugged in.

In 2D use, the iGPU of the AMD Ryzen 9 5800HX takes over the work, reducing energy consumption. If you want to get even more performance out of the Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QY, you should use the device in a stationary configuration with an external display and connect both via the USB-C port. Only the latter is directly connected to the AMD Radeon RX 6800M without having to go through the iGPU, which results in a performance increase of up to 10%.

For more comparisons and benchmarks, please take a look at our GPU Benchmarks article.

Gaming performance

Gaming performance is very good. Recent titles can largely be played smoothly and at high frame rates using the maximum settings. However, our The Witcher 3 benchmark comparison shows that the AMD Radeon RX 6800M doesn't really gain momentum at low resolutions and low details. The AMD Radeon RX 6800M only manages to be on par with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 (laptop) when you select quality levels corresponding to the high preset or above. As is often the case, however, this also depends on the respective game and the optimizations made for each GPU.

Emissions - A lot of waste heat needs to be dissipated

Noise emissions

The noise emissions measured show that the Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QY is relatively quiet in idle usage and under low load. However, this changes under load, and a maximum of 49 dB(A) is reached. This is clearly audible, but it's not anything out of the ordinary in the genre of gaming laptops. Thankfully, the Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QY produces a monotonous fan noise that isn't too high. Most of the time, high-frequency fan noise is subjectively perceived as being even louder. We weren't able to detect any coil whine in our test device.

Temperature

The Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QY in the stress test
The Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QY in the stress test

As for the general conditions, it should be mentioned in advance that the stress test was carried out in an air-conditioned room at approximately 20 °C (~68 °F). In addition, the case warmed up considerably more during gaming than during the stress test. However, everything is within the green range with a maximum of 43.3 °C (~110 °F).

The SoC heated up to 96 °C (~205 °F) under continuous load, but an average clock speed of 4.1 GHz remained stable. The maximum temperature of the dedicated GPU is slightly lower at 82 °C (~180 °F). At first glance, the cooling system looks pretty massive. Waste heat is blown out of the case through the back and sides with the help of two axial fans. Furthermore, according to our information, Asus uses liquid metal on the CPU and GPU in order to ensure the fastest possible heat dissipation.

We weren't able to identify any lasting impact on performance due to the continuous load caused by our one-hour stress test. A second test with 3DMark 11 didn't yield a worse result compared to a cold boot.

The two speakers offer a clear sound when it comes to mids and highs. The two diaphragms are capable of producing a light bass, even though a separate small subwoofer would have been a good option. The maximum volume is perfectly sufficient to fill small to medium-sized rooms with sound. Voice reproduction is clear and intelligible. Nevertheless, we recommend external audio devices for a better sound experience. These can be connected to the device via Bluetooth or the 3.5 mm audio jack.

280-watt power adapter

Depending on the brightness level and performance profile, we measured an idle power consumption of 12 to 13 watts. This makes the Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QY a bit more frugal than the competition. Even under average load, our review sample is relatively frugal with a solid 90 watts, and consumption only really ramps up under load. With a maximum of 263 watts, power consumption is slightly below the power adapter's maximum output, which is specified at 280 watts.

Battery life

In our standardized Wi-Fi test (150 cd/m², websites are periodically accessed through a script), the 90 Wh battery lasts a good 9 hours before the device has to be plugged in again. A complete charging process is completed after 105 minutes, which is definitely very fast in view of the large battery capacity.

Overall, the achieved rates are relatively good, because long battery runtimes aren't usually the strong suit of powerful gaming laptops.

Verdict - AMD is back in the mobile high-end segment

In review: The Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QY, provided by AMD Germany.
In review: The Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QY, provided by AMD Germany.

The Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QY is a powerful gaming laptop that combines a cutting-edge AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX with the AMD Radeon RX 6800M, which is additionally equipped with 12 GB of VRAM. However, the latter can only demonstrate its full potential in this Asus laptop when an external display is connected to the device via the USB-C port. This is a shortcoming that costs about 10% in terms of performance during normal use with the integrated display. Nonetheless, the performance of the brand-new Radeon RX 6800M is very good, and it can compete with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 (laptop) in many games. Despite this, the AMD Radeon RX 6800M places itself rather between the GeForce RTX 3080 laptop and the GeForce RTX 3070 laptop. This makes the 15-inch laptop a true alternative if buying a new high-end gaming laptop is currently on the agenda. Especially the great 300 Hz display was able to convince with good rates. We recommend calibrating the display (see linked profile), though; the improvements are very noticeable.

The Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QY offers excellent performance and a fast 300 Hz display. AMD celebrates a successful return to the mobile high-end GPU segment with the Radeon RX 6800M.

The lack of Thunderbolt and the single USB-C port, which supports DisplayPort and Power Delivery, don't seem to be up to date anymore. A webcam and an SD card reader are also missing. Furthermore, we don't want to leave the RAM issue unmentioned, since this situation is a fact and shouldn't occur in a gaming device. Therefore, if you decide to buy the Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QY, you should make sure that the same RAM as in our review sample is not installed. If you can live with these limitations, you'll get a very powerful gaming laptop with the Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QY, which features a cutting-edge and extremely potent CPU and GPU configuration from AMD.

A true alternative is the Alienware m15 R4, which is equipped with one of the fastest GeForce RTX 3070 laptop GPUs in terms of TPD classifications. But the Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QR with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 laptop GPU is also an alternative that comes with a compelling price tag.

Price and availability

At the time of writing, you can find the Asus ROG Strix G15 G513QY with 512 GB of storage on newegg for $1,879. Going up to 1 TB of storage space increases the price to $1,964. You also have the option to increase both the storage space and RAM even further here. Alternatively, for example, you can also find it on Amazon with a 512 GB SSD, albeit at a higher price of $2,039.
