The gaming performance is on par with other AMD based-configuration tested in the past, as well as with the Intel-based Zephyrus M16. For what is worth, I must also mention that this 3070Ti Zephyrus G15 with a MUX outmatches the RTX 3080 configuration of the 2021 Zephyrus G15 in regular games, by as much as 25% at QHD resolution. Only once you you switch RT on, the two get closer in performance, thanks to the extra RT cores on the 3080 dGPU, but for regular gaming, the 3070Ti is a significantly faster performer.

For the biometrics, there’s no longer a finger-sensor in the power button on this 2022 Zephyrus G15, but you do get IR Hello support baked into the camera. Screen On Turbo, the design allows for up to 140W of combined CPU+GPU power in games and demanding loads. The GPU takes up to 120W with Dynamic Boost, and the reminding 20W go to the CPU. Based on these tests, you’ll want to populate the extra memory DIMM in your unit if you plan on editing media on this laptop, but for mostly everything else, the performance is not impacted by only running a 16 GB onboard configuration. However, having both memory slots populated does have an impact on the gaming experience as well, which we’ll touch on further down.Lastly, this laptop can also run games on battery power on the Performance profile. The GPU stabilizes at 55W in this mode, with 80W crossload power, which ensures 60++ fps in most games at FHD resolution and Ultra settings. Don’t expect more than one hour of gameplay at full details, or longer with a 30 fps cap and lower settings. So, if you’re on a tighter budget but still want a capable multi-purpose laptop with some excellent gaming abilities, the Zephyrus G15 should definitely be on your list this year. Just make sure you understand and accept the noise/thermals particularities, and the fact that you’d better keep this mostly indoors, otherwise that sub-350-nits display might not do for you. Performance mode limits the fans to around 45 dBA at head-level and takes a slight toll on both the CPU and GPU performance. The internal temperatures remain very high on this mode, though. Here are some benchmark results on this Balanced mode:

Blaze through gaming, content creation, and more with an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS CPU and GeForce RTX 3070 Ti GPU. Spend more time doing and less time loading with a NVMe PCIe 1TB SSD. Dual M.2 slots connect directly to the CPU for maximum performance, and they're loaded with up to 2TB of storage for your growing games library and creative portfolio.

With the laptop sitting on the desk and in the games that scale well with Dynamic Boost, we’re looking at temperatures in the 80-88 C on the CPU side and 82-87 on the GPU side. The GPU performance decreases by a minor extent as the heat builds-up in those titles that allow for the GPU power to run at around 120W. The fans ramp up to about 51-52 dBA at head-level on this Turbo mode. Briefly, the Zephyrus G15 is a lightweight and portable laptop with a full-size 15-inch display. It weighs just around 2 kilos, and thus makes perfect sense if you’re after something that you plan to carry to school/work every day. On to more demanding loads, we start by testing the CPU’s performance by running the Cinebench R15 test for 15+ times in a loop, with a 1-2 seconds delay between each run. Specs aside, Asus offer the standard four power profiles in the Armoury Crate control app for this laptop: Silent, Performance, Turbo, and Manual, with various power settings and fan profiles between them.
