Is the RTX 5060 enough for modern games?

Yes at FHD+, which is the screen's native resolution. The 8GB of GDDR7 memory is the limit: very high texture settings in the newest titles can exceed it, so expect to drop textures a notch in those games.

Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?

The Strix G16 line uses SO-DIMM memory and M.2 slots, so both are serviceable. Adding a second RAM stick also lets the memory run in dual channel, which helps gaming performance.

How does it compare with the previous Strix G16?

The main changes are the RTX 5060 with GDDR7 memory and Wi-Fi 7. The 165Hz FHD+ panel, 90Wh battery and 4-zone RGB keyboard carry over from earlier models.

Is the 165Hz screen good for competitive games?

The 165Hz refresh and 3ms response suit fast shooters, and FHD+ is easy for the RTX 5060 to drive at high frame rates. It is not an OLED panel, so contrast is typical for an IPS gaming screen.

The laptop and its power adapter. A mouse and headset are not included, so budget for those separately.

Does it run hot or loud?

ROG Intelligent Cooling manages the i9-14900HX and RTX 5060, but a 24-core CPU and a gaming GPU produce real heat. Expect fan noise in performance modes during long sessions.

Our take on the Asus G615JMR-DS94 16" ROG Strix G16 Gaming Laptop

The ROG Strix G16 G615JMR is a 16-inch gaming laptop built around a 24-core Intel Core i9-14900HX and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 with 8GB of GDDR7 memory. Its 16-inch FHD+ panel runs at 165Hz with a 3ms response time, and the machine pairs 16GB of DDR5 RAM with a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD. ROG Intelligent Cooling, a 90Wh battery, Wi-Fi 7, Thunderbolt 4 and a 4-zone RGB keyboard round it out. It suits gamers and creators who want a fast CPU and a high-refresh screen without stepping up to a heavier, more expensive RTX 5070-class machine. The trade-off is the 8GB of graphics memory and 16GB of RAM, which are modest next to rivals that ship 12GB VRAM or 32GB of memory.
