The 2021 Asus ROG Strix G15 Advantage is available in the US right now, but not yet in most other regions.
For connectivity, there’s Wireless 6 and Bluetooth 5 through an Intel AX201 chip on this unit, as well as still only Gigabit Lan. Our sample performed well on WiFi both near the router and at 30+ feet with obstacles in between. All in all, even if Asus made some decisions that impact the gaming performance of the Radeon RX 6800M chip in the Strix G15 Advantage, I still feel this is a very competent performance laptop that can successfully handle workloads and games but also run cooly and efficiently with mundane activities such as streaming or browsing or word-processing. AMD have never been truly competitive in this segment in the past, and I’m sure glad they are now, as the competition between AMD, Nvidia, and Intel can only result in better products for us to buy in the years to come. Noise, Heat, Connectivity, speakers, and others This is an above-average rating. Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that about one fifth of all tested models receive a better rating.Under the ROG (Republic of Gamers) brand name, ASUS manufactures gaming laptops known by gamers for their powerful specifications, dedicated graphics cards, high refresh rate displays and advanced cooling systems. All in all, despite these, I still feel there’s very good value in this laptop and it should be on your short-list this year. You might have to save some money for the upgraded RAM, and if you do, this will outmatch any of the other options in its segment in terms of performance, across the board. My review unit is the configuration mostly available in stores today of the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage G513, code name G513QY, built on an AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX 8C/16T processor, 16 GB of DDR4-3200 memory in dual channel, 512 GB of fast SSD storage, and dual graphics: the Radeon RX 6800M chip with 12 GB of vRAM, and the Radeon Vega integrated within the AMD processor.
I have tested both and compared them to what people have shown online, the HyperX's are expensive but best performance and have tighter sub timings. While the Crucial's are decently priced, easy to get with looser timings.UL’s PCMark suite is a comprehensive benchmark tool which stresses all aspects of a system. In the overall suite, there are three sub-categories each focusing on different aspects of the system. The Cezanne powered ASUS G513QY is slightly behind the Intel reference system with the latest Tiger Lake-H processor in the CPU-related tasks, but the grunt of the Radeon RX 6800M GPU pulls it up significantly in the Digital Content Creation subcategory, which bumps the ASUS up to the very top of the list on the overall combined score. Cinebench AMD has certainly struggled in the past to land design wins in the premium end of the market, but with new products come new opportunities, and it appears that those days are behind them. The tight product integration of processor and graphics is certainly a benefit that their competition does not yet enjoy. AMD has never really captured much of the gaming laptop segment but is clearly aiming to remedy that with this launch. AMD says that the Radeon RX 6800M should be able to compete with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080L, which will put them in a much better light than the previous mid-range market they targeted before. Coupling that with their Cezanne platform makes for a very strongcombination. It also explains their effort to add Wi-Fi to the mix as Intel uses that as a key component of their platform. The other is the fact that there’s no MUX on this laptop, much like on all the other 2021 ROG models. Asus decided to opt for a solution that seamlessly switches between the iGPU and dGPU, as they felt that would be more convenient for the users with mixed-use and would greatly help with battery life on the go. I kind of agree with their decision, especially since the impact is not significant in most games on this all-AMD configuration, as shown in our tests.
These graphics cards are able to play the latest and most demanding games in high resolutions and full detail settings with enabled Anti-Aliasing.
W (~8+ h of use) – 1080p fullscreen video on Youtube in Edge, Silent Mode, screen at 60%, Wi-Fi ON; As for the GPU, this is a match for the RTX 3080 chips in the Scar 17 and comes with 10-20% of the 155W RTX 3080 in the Raider GE76 in rasterization tests, but the Nvidia chips maintain a clear lead in RTX, where the 6800M is at the level of a lower-power 3070.
Great Deal
