Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 GA402RJ laptop review: Bright display and a lot of performance

While Intel/Nvidia-based gaming notebooks are a dime a dozen, models with AMD CPUs and dedicated AMD GPUs are rare. All the better that Asus has addressed this imbalance and put together an extremely compact AMD notebook in the Zephyrus G14.
After we reviewed the GA402RK (Ryzen 9 6900HS & Radeon RX 6800S) few months ago, we put the GA402RJ version to the test. The latter is also very powerful thanks to a Ryzen 7 6800HS and a Radeon RX 6700S, accompanied by 16 GB of DDR5-4800 RAM (8 GB soldered, 8 GB as SO-DIMM) and a 1 TB NVMe SSD in the familiar M.2 format.
A matte and high-resolution 16:10 display with 120 Hz once again takes care of image reproduction. The fancy illumination on the lid (Anime Matrix LEDs) is also on board again. The package is rounded off by Windows 11 Home as the operating system. Cost: approximately US$2,499.99 - quite a steep price for the GPU power offered.

* ... smaller is better
Like the model with an R9 6900HS and an RX 6800S, the GA402RJ also performs well in almost every conceivable respect. An average brightness of 470 cd/m² is just as first-rate as 100% sRGB coverage and 86% AdobeRGB coverage. Most buyers will also be very satisfied with the response times (under 10 ms). Contrast is even slightly better than that of its sister model GA402RK (1,190:1 vs 1,000:1) due to the slightly better black value (0.42 vs 0.48 cd/m²), although this is likely due to typical series variation since the panels are essentially the same.
There is also nothing to complain about in terms of color accuracy. The G14 already offers very natural colors in its state of delivery. Moreover, the 14-incher is not only suitable for professional image and video editing: Thanks to the high brightness, the Asus laptop also looks great outside of closed rooms. Hardly any other gaming notebook is so suitable for outdoor use.

The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.4 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 9 % of all devices are better.

The screen shows fast response rates in our tests and should be suited for gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.25 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 13 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (35.8 ms). |
Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
Screen flickering / PWM detected | 26191 Hz | ≤ 35 % brightness setting | |
The display backlight flickers at 26191 Hz (Likely 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 26191 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 19454 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. |
Performance
The Zephyrus G14 definitely ranks in the high-end category. The potent CPU/GPU combination, the modern DDR5 RAM and the fast NVMe SSD ensure that the laptop will be future-proof in the years to come.
Testing Conditions
The mighty Armoury Crate (see screenshots) has changed somewhat since we reviewed the GA402RK. In order to keep testing conditions comparable, we chose settings that were as similar as possible. While 3D and gaming benchmarks were performed in the Turbo profile and the GPU mode Ultimate, the rest of the tests were carried out in the Performance profile and the GPU mode Standard.
We would not recommend using the Turbo profile in practice due to the high noise development (the performance gain is disproportionate), but since the TGP fluctuates in Performance mode - the GA402RK sends its regards - and drops after a while, the Turbo mode was the better choice for our GPU measurements because it is more reliable.
Armoury Crate | CPU PL1 (HWINFO) | CPU PL2 (HWINFO) | GPU Power Draw @Witcher 3 | Noise @Witcher 3 | FPS @Witcher 3 |
Quiet | 90W | 113 W | ~40 W | ~38 dB(A) | ~50 FPS |
Performance | 100 W | 125 W | ~65-75 W | ~43 dB(A) | ~80 FPS |
Turbo | 125 W | 157 W | ~100 W | ~51 dB(A) | ~85 FPS |
Processor
Technically, the Ryzen 7 6800HS hardly differs from the Ryzen 9 6900HS. Both chips are specified with 35 watts, have a 16 MB L3 cache, 8 cores, and can process 16 threads in parallel. Only the clock of the more expensive sibling is 100 MHz (base) or 200 MHz (boost) higher. Instead of 3.3 to 4.9 GHz, the 6800HS "only" manages 3.2 to 4.7 GHz, which is also plentiful.
As expected, the siblings are very close to each other in the CPU tests, which is why the almost EUR 400 more expensive G14 model is not really worth it purely from the point of view of the processor. Performance tends towards the Ryzen 9 5900HS and 5900HX predecessor chips, as our table shows.

Storage Devices
The storage device leaves no room for criticism. The installed 1 TB drive from Micron (2450) is one of the strongest SSDs in the comparison of competitors, both in terms of read and write processes. Furthermore, the performance - analogous to the CPU - remains quite constant over long periods of time.

Graphics Card
The graphics card was particularly exciting for us, since we had no benchmarks for the Radeon RX 6700S up to now. In contrast to the RX 6800S, the cheaper family offshoot has to make do with 1,792 instead of 2,048 shaders. The so-called Game Frequency is 1,890 instead of 1,975 MHz, the effective memory speed 14 instead of 16 Gbps. For 2022, 8 GB GDDR6 VRAM is neither much nor particularly little.
If the synthetic graphics tests are anything to go by, the performance of the Radeon 6700HS ranks almost 20% below the 6800S and falls in the middle between the GeForce RTX 3060 and RTX 3070.

Gaming Performance
As long as you limit yourself to Full HD and do not use ray tracing, the situation is similar in games. Apart from a few outliers here and there as known from AMD chips, the RX 6700S mostly ranks between the RTX 3070 and RTX 3060. As soon as higher resolutions in the QHD or 4K range are used, 3D performance (which is also currently typical of AMD) drops more than with Nvdia, which results in performance values similar to the RTX 3060. Performance in ray tracing - as was to be expected - is rather modest. Here the RX 6700S is often equal with the RTX 3050 Ti, which is installed in much cheaper laptops. We refer to our GPU page and our gaming list for detailed comparisons.
Without ray tracing, the Zephyrus G14 is fast enough to run almost all modern titles at high to very high details in the native resolution of 2560 x 1600, even if not always at more than 60 FPS. It reaches its limits only in very demanding and/or moderately optimized games such as Dying Light 2 and Elex 2.

To check whether graphics performance remains stable, we use The Witcher 3, which have been using for quite some time now. Like its more expensive sibling, the frame rate drops noticeably in Performance mode over time - a problem that hardly ever if ever occurs in Turbo mode, which is why it was used for the 3D and gaming benchmarks as previously mentioned (despite the steep noise development).
