Competing against ROG, Legion and co with an RTX 5090 and 240 Hz OLED - Gigabyte Aorus Master 16 gaming laptop review

Who is the master, who is the disciple?

We finally managed to get our test-savvy hands on the Aorus Master 16 with an RTX 5090, OLED display, Thunderbolt 5, PCIe 5.0 and WiFi 7. Is this the new performance king for a price of $4,300?

Verdict - A fast OLED gamer, but loud, expensive and not fully optimized

Thanks to its RTX 5090, the Aorus Master 16 is a super potent gaming laptop. It has modern connections such as Thunderbolt 5, supports Wi-Fi 7, and its fan control adjusts the speed according to the load, resulting in the gaming laptop staying very quiet under low load. 

On the other hand, its fans reach an extremely loud volume of almost 60 dB under higher load. Although its performance is good despite these values, it doesn't break any records, with the XMG Neo 16 and the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i proving to be faster. Regular BIOS and GiMate updates have since fixed the initial hitches and lags. Overall, buyers get a very powerful OLED gaming laptop for a very high price, although there is still some room for improvement in terms of its build quality (keyword: left-click on the touchpad) and driver optimization.

Pros

+ brilliant 1,600p OLED
+ very constant 2D/3D performance
+ fans adapt well to load
+ modern connectivity

Cons

- low-contrast keyboard labelling
- left-click on touchpad sometimes hangs
- very loud under load
- idle consumption still too high
- expensive

Price and availability

You can buy the model with the RTX 5090 from Amazon, where it currently costs $4,299.99.

Aorus presented its new Master series at CES 2025 and we've finally had a chance to test it. The high-end model of the 16-inch laptop with the RTX 5090 promises a total TDP of up to 230 watts (55 + 175 watts), while the TDP of the 18-inch version that we recently tested even adds up to 270 watts.

Case & connectivity - Lots of features, okay build

Its case in the colorway "Dark Tide" (black) is made mostly of plastic, features an interesting structure on the bottom, has been spiced up with the Aorus design on the inside, and has been equipped with lighting elements on the outside, including a "logo projector" that projects the "Aorus" lettering onto a surface (e.g. a table) from the bottom center of the display. The laptop's general design is clearly based on the Aorus 16X.

However, the Master 16 is quite thick, measuring in at around 30 millimeters, but the Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 and the XMG Neo 16 E25 have similar dimensions and are even heavier. The Blade 16 and Zephyrus G16 are of course significantly thinner and lighter.

The device's case seems quite stable and hardly makes any noise when twisted. Its display bounces slightly, the hinges could be tighter and its maximum opening angle is around 130 degrees.

Its FHD webcam unfortunately takes rather unattractive photos with high color deviations and a hefty blue tint. Its transmission rates are quite high thanks to its Wi-Fi 7 support. The laptop's micro SD card reader works quite quickly. Fitted with one Thunderbolt 5 connection and one Thunderbolt 4 port, the Master 16 is otherwise well equipped. The position of its jack connector on the front right side isn't ideal.

Maintenance

12 screws of three different lengths hold the base plate in place. But be careful—because of the LED lighting, the underside is still wired up to the top. On the inside, you can access the two M.2 NVMe SSDs (the replaceable WLAN module is located under one of them), RAM banks, screwed-in battery as well as the two fans.

Sustainability

Aorus hasn't provided any information on the laptop's CO2 footprint. Its packaging contains less than 5 percent plastic (box handle, laptop sleeve, dust cloth), while the rest is made of cardboard.

Input devices - Not quite high-end

The laptop's keys feel rather small for a 16-inch device, although the arrow keys are normal-sized and the QWERASD keys are highlighted. The lettering is a little too dark and the contrast on the dark keys is low. The lighting helps in this case, but then the contrast to the brightly labeled gaming keys is too low. The dedicated GiMate button, which is used to give instructions to the AI, is located on the right-hand side of the F-row, but doesn't work very well.

The keys' travel can be classed as short to medium and their feedback could be a tick sharper; it feels a little soft. The touch noises are moderate.

The laptop's touchpad is nice and big and very smooth in dry conditions. However, the integrated buttons have a very short pressure point; during our test, the left click got stuck several times.

Display - 1,600p OLED in the Master 16

Clear OLED sub-pixels
Clear OLED sub-pixels

Aorus has installed a reflective 1,600p OLED with a 240 Hz refresh rate, 100 percent DCI-P3 coverage, as well as HDR and G-Sync support.

We measured an average brightness of 437 nits in SDR mode when depicting 100% white, and its illumination is extremely even at 96%. In HDR mode during the APL 25 test, it even reached 635 nits. The panel flickers at a high 960 Hz, which shouldn't cause problems even for sensitive users.

Its contrast is of course excellent thanks to its extremely good black level, typical of OLED panels. Naturally, we didn't note any backlight bleeding—just pure black. The panel covers sRGB almost completely and even Display-P3 and AdobeRGB to around 95 percent.

The panel is properly calibrated straight out of the box, but not against its maximum brightness. Its DeltaE values were slightly too high in this case. Our manual calibration using X-Rite i1 Pro 3 and the Calman software (against the P3 color space) reduced the deviations slightly, especially in the grayscale.

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
0.43 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 0.18 ms rise
↘ 0.25 ms fall
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 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 0 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (20.5 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
0.24 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 0.12 ms rise
↘ 0.12 ms fall
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 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 0 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32.1 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 960 Hz
Amplitude: 47 %

The display backlight flickers at 960 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) .

The frequency of 960 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 8327 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Performance - Very constant, but not the maximum

The Master 16 is a true gaming laptop, and not just visually (LED strips). The three model variants only differ in terms of their GPU configuration. Our top-of-the-range model is equipped with an RTX 5090, while the RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti are further options.

Testing conditions

GiMate serves as the laptop's control center. The home screen is nice and clear thanks to its simple structure, but this is somewhat lost in other menu sections. GiMate could also do with being optimized, it takes quite a long time to load and the CPU load could be reduced somewhat.

In general, there seem to be a few problems with the laptop's graphics switching. For example, when pulling the plug, we were asked whether we wanted to switch off the dGPU to save energy, but even if we said no, the dGPU was no longer active. In GiMate, we then discovered quite hidden in the Scenario - Power Supply - AI Power Gear II menu that even in Gaming mode, the dGPU is deactivated by default as soon as battery mode is active. We changed the mode to Optimus and set it to maximum performance for the profile Gaming. Only then did more demanding 3D applications also work properly in battery mode.

The fact that it's virtually impossible to play in Gaming mode by default (away from a power outlet) is a strange decision by the developers. In addition, it sometimes takes half a minute for the laptop to recognize that we have plugged the power adapter back in.

During our test, updates for the BIOS and GiMate were released regularly, which significantly improved these problems (e.g. power plug problem, lags). The installation was very straightforward via the live updates in GiMate.

We selected Gaming mode for our benchmarks and the AI boost was active.

At its heart is the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX with a full 24 cores and a 2.1 to 5.4 GHz clock. This is a high-end laptop CPU that integrates a small dedicated NPU called AI Boost with 13 TOPS and a small Intel Graphics with 4 cores.

The CPU performed in line with our expectations across all tests, but the same CPU was faster in the Asus Strix Scar 18, as was the Neo 16 with an AMD processor—while the thinner Blade 16 and Zephyrus G16 were slower.

Our Cinebench R15 endurance test (Multi) revealed a very consistent performance. The laptop's maximum power consumption was 140 watts.

In battery mode, the latter only came to approx. 39 watts, its performance loss was approx. 50 percent, similar to Energy-Saving mode.

System performance

In PCMark 10, our Master performed somewhat below average for its installed hardware, but it was able to make up for this small disadvantage in CrossMark.

Still, the system doesn't always feel completely smooth. Thankfully, however, lots of issues (lagging gifs, briefly freezing windows, etc.) have at least been fixed by the BIOS and GiMate updates.

Storage device

Aorus has installed two Kingston NVMe SSDs with 1 TB of storage each, so there is plenty of space for games and apps. In our performance comparison, the storage ranked in the middle of the competition—only the SSD in the Schenker Neo 16 was significantly faster. Its continuous performance in the Aorus was very consistent.

GPU performance

The new RTX 5090 is the current Nvidia flagship and, of course, is the main reason for this laptop's high price.

During the synthetic 3DMarks, the Master 16 was "only" on par with the Razer Blade 16 in Gaming mode, while it clearly beat the Zephyrus G16. Overall, we noted a performance at the level we expected.

When running games, our Aorus Master 16 outperformed the Blade and Zephyrus by around 20 percentage points. However, there seemed to be no way around the XMG Neo 16 when it came to taking the performance crown. Gaming proved to be particularly fun when, for example, we almost exhausted the OLED's native refresh rate of 240 Hz when running Doom: The Dark Ages with DLSS 4 and quadruple Frame Generation in QHD. The slightly higher latency was virtually unnoticeable in QHD.

In Balanced mode, only a few frames were lost during Cyberpunk 2077; in the Energy-Saving profile with quiet fans, its performance dropped by around 20 percent, which was still completely sufficient for most games and easy on the ears.

When we pulled the plug, 3D applications only ran after the above-mentioned option was changed. A new Fire Strike run revealed a 3D performance loss of approx. 41 percent.

Emissions & energy - Idle consumption still too high

Noise emissions

When idling, the laptop's fans are mostly off and even after a period of load, they quickly calm down again in stages—very good! Under high load such as when gaming, the fan speeds increase continuously. Ultimately, however, it got loud—even louder than most competitors—during our test with Gaming mode selected; we measured just under 60 dB when gaming and during the stress test. Note: In the table below, we tested the Master 18 using the Balanced profile.

The optional fan setting in "Scenarios" has the largest share. The performance curves show that the difference between the Performance fans (Gaming) and Normal fans (Balanced) is minimal (see pictures below). The significantly quieter fan profile, Quiet fans, can only be selected in Energy-Saving mode. However, you can also see here that ultimately all fan profiles reach their maximum speed at a certain temperature and therefore Quiet fans can very well become just as loud during longer gaming sessions if threshold temperatures are reached.

Temperature

The laptop's rather loud cooling system keeps its temperatures well under control. We measured a maximum of 39 °C on the top even under stress, with the center getting the warmest and the WASD keys remaining quite cool. On the underside, the Aorus was slightly warmer than some—but not all—of its competitors, reaching a maximum of 51 °C.

When idling, things got a little warmer than many competitors due to the device's mostly deactivated fans.

Speakers

We only saw 2 of these speakers
We only saw 2 of these speakers

The official specs mention four 2-watt speakers. When the case was open during our test, we could only see the two standard stereo speakers, but there may be another pair integrated in them. In any case, they don't play particularly loudly. The mids and highs are very balanced and there is even some bass, although this is of course reduced. A 3.5 mm headset jack is available for external audio devices.

Power consumption

As with the Master 18, its power consumption is still too high in idle mode. This may also be due to a current Nvidia driver; various Blackwell laptops still have problems in this respect, which will likely soon be fixed by the drivers being optimized.

Under load, it consumes a similar amount as the Scar 18 or Master 18. We measured short-term load peaks of up to 325 watts from the 16.5 x 7.5 x 2.6-centimeter 330-watt power supply unit.

Runtimes

The Aorus has a 99 Wh battery. This gave the device a runtime of around 6 hours in the WLAN and video tests. There is still some potential here if its problem of high idle consumption is solved by Nvidia and the manufacturer. The current BIOS update should already improve the situation. In our load test, the BatteryEater tool ran and utilized the hardware well in the Classic test, even in battery mode. It ended after 110 minutes.

The Aorus Master 16 is a very powerful, but also pretty loud gaming laptop under load, on which virtually all games run smoothly—even in 4K. It also has a very good OLED display, but its price is currently still very high.
