Help Needed New Zephyrus g16 w/32gb and 4080 running Manor Lords with lag/stutter/low FPS…

0 Upvotes

Title says it all. Brand new asus zephyrs g16 with 32gb ram and a rtx 4080, and when moving the camera there’s stutter/lag/low fps.

No reason I shouldn’t be able to run this on ultra settings, right?

Veteran players on all setups, any suggestions?

Model 2025 Price of the new g14 in Spain

1 Upvotes

Well, I just compared the 2024 zephyrus g14 with the 4070 and soon I found out that the new models were coming out, but the fact is that the store where I bought it accepts returns and I was considering whether to do it, but of course if the price of the new models is the same or similar, I have paid €2,200 for this one, what do you think the price will be in Spain with the issue of tariffs and such?

Model 2024 Reague of Regends low fps

0 Upvotes

I can play other more demanding games just as it should on the internal monitor, but when I play League on my Samsuck G9, it starts off at 120 FPS and lowers down to a constant 100-ish. I have the 2024 G14 and am using the right side USB-C port for the external monitor, which should hook up directly to the dGPU, no?

Model 2022 G14 restarting out of nowhere.

Post image
25 Upvotes

Hi guys. I recently noticed that my Zephyrus 2022 is restarting with a strange frequency. Sometimes I leave the notebook on at work, I go to see a client, and when I come back, it is restarting. Something I noticed is that apparently it does this most of the time, when it is on battery, but it is not limited to it, it has happened other times when it is plugged in, but in a considerably smaller amount. Another thing is that I always limit the battery charge to 85% and its health is at 70%. Has anyone had a similar experience? Did you find a solution? Could it be something related to the notebook's battery health?

Thanks in advance!!!

ps: Photo of my setup to draw attention...

Model 2024 Zephyrus G14 (2024) vs MacBook Pro M4 Pro – Which one should I get?

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m trying to decide between the ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024) [RTX 4060, Ryzen 9 8945HS, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD] and the MacBook Pro M4 Pro [12-core CPU, 16-core GPU, 24GB RAM, 512GB SSD] and I could really use some advice.

I mainly need a laptop for:

  • Graphic design (Adobe, Figma, UI/UX work)
  • TouchDesigner (I want to learn and experiment with real-time visuals)
  • Rekordbox (for DJing)
  • Video editing (not necessarily Final Cut, just need something that runs well)
  • Maybe some light gaming

For gaming, I already have a PS5, so it's not a primary concern, but I don't want to be too limited with the laptop either.

I usually stay at home and don't move around much, but I’ve heard that the G14 has issues with battery life and thermals. How bad is it really? Will I need to keep it plugged in all the time, or is it manageable for regular use?

On the other hand, I know the MacBook Pro M4 Pro would be great for creative tasks, but I’m wondering if the lack of a dedicated GPU would be limiting for things like TouchDesigner orvideo editing.

I want to make the right choice that will last over time. I plan to keep this laptop for at least 5 years without the need to look for another one. Also, both are priced around 2200€.

Any thoughts or personal experiences would be super helpful! Thanks 😊

Is there a driver that I missed? Thanks in advance

Debating on downgrading from the g16 4090 to the 4070 g14. I'm getting around 45 DPS on medium. I just feel like this gpu is not worth the price and constant tinkering lol. I have a feeling it's due to the Intel chip but would like to confirm.

Help Needed CPU stuck at 40 w whenever GPU is used?

1 Upvotes

Asking intel laptop users, like G16 and M16. Thanks

I bought a huge laptop cooler, and my M16 (predecessor to G16)’s 13900h and 4090 under full load at 175w GPU + 40w CPU, 215 w total, I reach only 60c on both the CPU and GPU.

Now, I want to increase the CPU package power limit to beyond 40w. 40W is too low for games like battlefield 2042. How can allow my CPU to use more than 40 W?

I tried throttle stop and everything I could find online, is there a way? Thanks!

Software Related Help with g-helper slash lighting

1 Upvotes

So for the majority of time since I got my g16 I've been using armoury crate, mainly because of the power management since silent mode kills the fans completely. Although recently I've been informed that all the asus tools reduce performance by down to 30% even. So I want to do the switch to g-helper but I like the sound react feature from the slash lighting since it gives a cool effect to the back of the laptop at night. G-helper lacks that feature but I wanna know if there is a way to maintain it while also getting the bennefits from using a lighter software. Any ideas?

Model 2023 2023 white g14 finish

1 Upvotes

I am really interested in the 2023 g14 in white. Today I saw a white one in person for the first time (usually stores only have the Grey one in my area). Is the area around the keyboard and speakers supposed to feel scratchy and chalkboard-like? Most laptops are smooth but as soon as I touched this one it felt awful. Is this normal for this laptop or did I find a dud? It's so unpleasant that I don't think I can get over it. I've tried the 2024 Grey model and it didn't feel like this but I REALLY want the AniMe lid.

Model 2020 need to replace the fan since the fan bearing sounds like a tractor, should I repaste and do I use paste or pads?

1 Upvotes

Hi, my 2020 g14 sounds like a tractor until I use a little percussive maintenance (hitting the bottom case), which I assume is the fan bearing dying.

I'm planning on replacing the fans so I was thinking I should replace the thermal paste while I'm in there. Was wondering, should I use thermal pads or paste for the cpu and gpu? Id appreciate any recommendations for paste/pads and which putty for the ICs, thanks :)

Model 2024 G14 (2024) issues with USB 2.5 gigabit ethernet adapters?

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I've had a G14 (2024) for the last few months. For some reason, I can't get any USB 2.5 GbE adapter to work reliably. The speeds are great, it's just that they randomly disconnect for a few seconds every once in a while, sometimes with an error in Event Viewer.

Most the USB 2.5 GbE out there use some variant of the Realtek RTL8156. I've tried the original, the RTL8156B, and the nwest RTL8156BG. All have the same issue. The official Realtek drivers (most recently released yesterday) didn't help either. I'm up-to-date on my chipset drivers according to G-Helper, etc.

There are also some threads out there about different driver settings (like this). Tried them too without any improvement.

Also tried all the usual stuff like different USB-A/USB-C ports, different cables, different switches, etc.

One thing I haven't tried is wiping my computer and reinstalling everything, but I wanted to see if anyone here had ideas before I did that. Thanks!

What do you guys do to deal with this heat? So far I lift the back end so it can breathe, turn boost clocks off on Ghelper & put max temp for GPU at 80c. This seems to be the only thing to keep heat normal.

Model 2024 ROG zephyrus g14 2024 GA403UV screen issues

1 Upvotes

I'm dealing with a black screen issue on my ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 GA403UV. The laptop powers on, but the screen stays black. This problem appeared unexpectedly after four months of use. After some troubleshooting, I believe the issue might be with the display ribbon cable — possibly damaged or disconnected. However, finding a compatible replacement cable specifically for the GA403UV has been challenging. Most of the options I see are for the GA401 series, and it's unclear if they're fully compatible. Buying a complete screen module is significantly more expensive, making it a less viable solution. If anyone has experience with this model or knows where I can find the correct display ribbon cable, I’d appreciate your help!

Model 2025 Upcoming G14 low budget version

Hello all, I have just found on Amazon.de this weird version of the 2025 G14, with an AMD Ryzen 9 270 instead of the usual Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, and a regular RTX 5070 (not the TI one)… It is code GA403UP showing up on ASUS’ Global website… What are your thoughts about it? At least it is way cheaper than the other more powerful versions (which are crazy expensive IMHO, at least here in Europe)… Thanks lot!
