Case and features: The G6X lacks Thunderbolt 4

The base unit of the G6X's matt-grey ("Gunmetal Grey") chassis is made of plastic while aluminum is used for the back of the lid. There are no noticeable workmanship defects; the stability and rigidity seem fine. The battery and the other internal components are accessible after removing the base shell.

The Gigabyte G6X 9KG has one each of USB 3.2 Gen 1 and 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports and two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports that individually offer Power Delivery and DisplayPort-out. All in all, the G6X has two video outputs (1x HDMI, 1x DP). There is no memory card reader. The 1280 x 720 0.9 MP webcam delivers standard fare.

We achieved excellent Wi-Fi data throughput under optimal test conditions wherein there are no Wi-Fi devices in the immediate vicinity and at a short 1 m distance between the laptop and the server PC. The notebook uses an Intel AX211 Wi-Fi 6E chip. Wired connections are handled by a Realtek RTL8168/8111 controller.

Input devices: Backlit keyboard suitable for everyday use

The G6X's sports a chiclet keyboard with a numpad, RGB lighting, and flat, smooth keys that are amenable for daily typing needs. The keyboard yields slightly when typing, but this is not a dealbreaker.

The key resistance feels crisp. A good aspect is that the arrow keys are full-sized.

A multi-touch touchpad (12.1 cm x 8.5 cm) with a short stroke and clear pressure point serves as a mouse replacement.

Display: FHD+ 165 Hz with no PWM

The responsive 165 Hz 16:10 panel with a 1920 x 1200 resolution does not show PWM flickering at any brightness setting.

The brightness and contrast of the matte 16-inch display meet the respective advertised targets (> 300 cd/m² and 1,000:1). Gigabyte does not offer other display options for the G6X.

* ... smaller is better

The display shows a mediocre color reproduction ex works: With a deviation of around 5.2, the deltaE 2000 target of < 3 is not met. Calibration reduces the deviation to 3.6 and ensures more balanced shades of gray.

The panel cannot fully reproduce the AdobeRGB, sRGB, and DCI-P3 color spaces. In this respect, the G6X's competitors offer better screens.

Display Response Times

ℹ

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
21.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 11.1 ms rise
21.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 10.5 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. » 41 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (21.5 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
40.5 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 19 ms rise
40.5 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 21.5 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 59 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (33.7 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

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 17903 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

The IPS panel offers relatively stable viewing angles that can be read from extreme positions. It is possible to use the display outdoors if the sun is not too bright.

Performance: Raptor Lake and Ada Lovelace power the 16-incher

Gigabyte delivers a mid-range gaming notebook with the G6X 9KG. Raptor Lake-HX and Ada Lovelace provide the necessary computing power.

Test conditions

The G6X offers three manufacturer-specific performance modes (see table below), which can be switched between via the Control Center app. The "Entertainment mode" was used for benchmarks while "Silent mode" was employed for the battery tests. Both modes offer automatic fan control.

	Performance mode	Entertainment mode	Silent mode (= dGPU off)
Power Limit 1 (HWInfo)	135 W	55 W	25 W
Power Limit 2 (HWInfo)	155 W	115 W	30 W
Noise (The Witcher 3 1080p Ultra)	55 dB(A)	51 dB(A)	33 dB(A)
Performance (The Witcher 3 1080p Ultra)	~102 fps	~100 fps	4 fps

Processor

The 14 CPU cores of the Core i7-13650HX (6P+8E) reach maximum clock rates of 4.9 GHz (P) and 3.6 GHz (E). Continuous multi-thread load (Cinebench R15 multi-core loop) causes the clock rate to drop from the fourth to the fifth run. After that, a fairly constant level is maintained. The Performance mode ensures permanently higher values.

The benchmark values are slightly below the CPU average, but the Performance mode results in small gains. In battery mode, the more relevant single-thread performance in Cinebench R15 drops to a lesser extent (168 points) than the multi-thread performance (1,225 points).

Mass storage

The G6X can accommodate a total of two M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4 SSDs. RAID is not supported. The 1 TB Gigabyte SSD in our test device delivers very good data rates.

We did not observe any thermal throttling issues, which is a good thing.

The computer can accommodate two PCIe 4 SSDs

Emissions and energy: G6X offers good runtimes

Noise emissions

The sound pressure level (SPL) rises to up to 54 dB(A) under full load (Entertainment mode). The SPL can go higher in Performance mode. A significantly quieter operation could be achieved with the Silent mode.

However, this is noticeably at the expense of performance as this is not how the dGPU works. In general, the Entertainment mode is recommended for everyday use. Beyond full load, the noise development remains at a moderate level.

Temperature

The stress test and The Witcher 3 tests ensure moderate heating of the laptop at best. Values in the lower 40 °C range are occasionally reached. In everyday use (Office, internet browsing), the values remain in the green range.

The extreme stress test scenario (Prime95 and FurMark in continuous operation) checks the system stability under full load. The CPU of the G6X initially works at full power, but quickly reduces the clock rate to base clock level. The GPU clock rate drops from 2.3 GHz-2.6 GHz to 1.9-2.1 GHz.

Energy consumption

The power consumption is at a normal level for the hardware installed. While The Witcher 3 test is run at a constant energy consumption, the demand fluctuates slightly during the stress test.

The power output of the power supply is above the rated power (180 W) for a few minutes but is then reduced to the rated power level.

Verdict: Well-rounded overall package

The Gigabyte G6X 9KG 2024. Review unit provided by Gigabyte Germany.

The Gigabyte G6X 9KG is designed for FHD gaming at high to maximum settings, but its Core i7-13650HX and GeForce RTX 4060 configuration should also be able to deliver in other areas such as video editing and rendering. A fast 1 TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD ensures short loading times.

Gigabyte delivers a coherent mid-range gaming notebook with the G6X 9KG (2024)."

The laptop does not heat up much under load but can produce a lot of noise. The Silent power profile can counteract this, but this results in the dGPU getting switched off. The good Wi-Fi runtime of just under 8 hours, therefore, comes as no surprise.

The G6X does not feature any modern Thunderbolt or USB4 ports. With one of the USB Type-C supporting Power Delivery, the proprietary power supply unit can stay at home for regular work. The two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports also enable easy integration into existing workstation setups.

The matte 16-inch WUXGA 165 Hz IPS display makes a good impression overall but offers insufficient color space coverage.

As an alternative, the Lenovo Legion 5 16IRX G9 could be considered. It offers more GPU performance and a brighter screen with better color space coverage.

Price and availability

In the US, the Gigabyte G6X 9KG (2024) is available from Amazon for around $1,350.
