- We love the new Asus ROG Strix G18. We really do. Fantastic design, awesome 18" display, great temperatures and acoustics during gaming, all the jazz. We will however highly recommend that you DO NOT choose the RTX 4070 Laptop GPU SKU and below.
8GB of VRAM just isn't enough. Seriously.

I bought this baby a week ago, and honestly, it feels like it's the most perfect machine for the price and specs. I got the 2TB one for $2300, I've had zero problems with it, playing Cyberpunk at max settings and max ray tracing at a consistent 75-80 FPS, which looks beautiful. And that's when the fans aren't even at turbo, just at performance mode which are still very quiet and I can game without headphones. The surround sound 3D audio is fantastic 🔥. 8GB of 4070 VRAM is plenty and I barely reach 6GB usage at a time.
I'm super happy with this beauty and recommend this over the Zephyrus or 4080 versions, just cuz of the price-performance value.
Thanks for sharing some positive feedback on this unit dude.
Where I am, the 4080 version is $1300 more.... I can't justify that. So I'm glad to hear people are having positive experiences with this.
I too ordered it, it'll be delivered in 3-4 days...
I couldn't justify buying the 4080 so I opted for the 4070 thanks for sharing your thoughts
There are 3 fans, right? Does it cool down well ? Can you manually put the turbo on to the fans and you have the 18 as a screen ?
good for the price? you have to be joking.
It features Thunderbolt 4. If you require additional VRAM, consider opting for an external GPU. The 4070 is more than sufficient in 2023. Reviewers sometimes fall into a mindset where they are either overly accustomed to the hardware they test or believe a video is incomplete without a pros and cons list.

I have been using this laptop for 3 months and I can tell you that 8gb and more than enough to play at 2.5k ultra especially with the active dlss which reduces the use of Vram
Thank you for this.
Great to hear some positive feedback on this machine.
I just ordered mine yesterday, and I can't wait any more for this bad boy !
Awesome Video!! I really need your help with a decision & time is against me.. sorry to ask like this..
Which one should i get? 2023 Asus zephyrus m16 rtx4070 i9? Or the model u just reviewed for us. Asus strix 18 Rtx4070 i9?
I got the Zephyrus M16 but bestbuy sold me a lemon. Replaced it got less then 5 days to keep or upgrade] (i like it alot just afraid cuz of all the problems n BS it put me threw.
Thank u and once again I apologize for asking like that.
Great video thank you
Does g16 havr the same rgb logo and green edge line ? I seen many youtuber dont have that on g16
Hi, can you do a blender/3D animation test for this laptop ? would be great to know if 8GB suffice for design pursuits
Only video games are suddenly becoming super demanding on VRAM, other programs might benefit from it but you will still be able to work without problem with 8gb.
I’ll wait on the TI variants for laptops when they announce them for Laptops
Is this laptop good for cs go with external monitor?
Awesome review! I just got a 4070 G18 sadly as the 4080 only came in a SCAR in my country. Great machine overall except I was let down with how per key rgb on the keyboard was advertised but I seem to only get 4 zone RGB. I know 4 zone came with the Full HD version but mine is QHD Nebula
are you getting many frames with 4070 ?. Is it ok for video editing and browsing the web/battery life.
@@silverpro8356 I hit an average of 80fps max everything on jedi survivor which so far happens to be the only AAA game my machine had a tough time on. If I had 12GB VRAM then the 4070 will be hitting better FPS. Battery life for browsing on iGPU is ok, but editing and gaming must be plugged in or you only get a few minutes on battery when on 4070
A 4050 6gb is perfect for 1080 high preset gaming.
A 4070 8gb, paired with an excellent i9, is more than enough for 1440p high preset gaming, 4k 30 fps.
4k 30fps is fine for me
thanks. now i will buy this 😊
Will it crush video editing and Photoshop? And DaVinci resolve those kind of things
it should be able to handle video editing and graphic design software like Photoshop and DaVinci Resolve quite effectively.
does the colour of logo that is at the back have rgb lights like scar series ????
Lol is like asking if a truck can haul 10kg water bottle 🤣🤣🤣
@@mrnice1928 your English nd your sense of humor can be seen rather than the RGB 😂😂😂
it turns all the big game in ultra above 100fps in 1080p, just what are we complaining about?
What are you talking about?
I think native resolution.
8GB is enough for 1600p. It's not enough for 4K, but the GPU isn't even made for 4K gaming after all.
for some games it's not enough, RE4, Last of Us, etc.
@@mayakashiiireduce texture resolution then...or wait for ntc
@@avfx111ntc coming to 4000 series?
yes probably
I'm talking to choose 4080 with 16gb is it ok?
hey not necessarily bad , i bought a second hand laptop on amazon with a rtx 3070 with 8gb of vram as well for 980 euros... i already have a desktop gaming pc with a rtx 4080 so i won't plug it in anywhere it is to play when i go on holidays etc ... for the price of less than 1000 dollar i am ok to make compromise as i have no other laptop that i can use for aaa recent gaming
Good for you,i study aboard so i need this so we shall see if i can have atx case to carry around with luggage
Buddy, not everyone wants to/ can play in 4k. Dont outright say statements like "8 gb is too little". 8 gb vram is perfectly fine for 1080p gaming and to an extent, 1440p
I mean, if you have a laptop with 2160p or 1440p screen, people ain't gonna lower the resolution and play at 1080p. 😅
yeah but the price difference between a 4070m and 4080m is huge
on right deal it’s as low as 300 dollars
@@pratikparbat341 The US gets better deals than almost all the rest of the world.
It's $1300 more for the 4080 where I am.
@@tommy10436 I am from India but currently studying at Arizona and you are absolutely right, in India the same laptop will cost more for 350k rupees ie a 4080 laptop which is for 2000 dollars will cost me for 4200 dollars. It’s absolutely insane.
@@pratikparbat341 Yeahhh I wish we got those deals, I'd 100% be getting a 4080 if I could justify it. I just can't with the huge price jump!
@@tommy10436 where are you from?
The RTX 4070 is there only to push people to the more expensive RTX 4080. Too little of a performance boost over the RTX 4060, and the same amount of VRAM. The RTX 4080 is a different beast. 50% more VRAM, around 43% faster than the 4070 and only around 8% on average slower than the 4090. The 4070 is just meh. And the 4060 is also meh, because it is a tiny upgrade over the 3060, and only a 30% performance upgrade over the 2060 refresh. NVIDIA is just plain bad value in the midrange segment. Where are you AMD and Intel? There is money to be made. Consumers need more competition in the industry. We want to pay less for more.
??? They dont offer a 4070 with 12gb vram.. soo???? Whats the point of this?
💀💀💀💀💀 8gb of vram 💀💀💀💀💀
still looks epic though
Tbh difference btw 1080 and 1440 not noticeable at all
Coil whine?
None thus far on our unit!
@@Terafied How about other Singapore reviewers? They reported zero cool whine as well?
Well is it upgradeable though? the 8gb VRAM? or not?
Vram is the ram in the gpu specifically which is in the card it self which you can't, the ram you can change is the normal ram
@@CrustaceanAllergyEnjoyer thanks a lot
@@user-wf5ke7gn2i no problem
However, you can ask a super specialised technician to mod the vram but at the cost of warranty. I have seen an article where a user modded his 8gb vram 3070 to 16gb
@@avfx111 Do you have a link or anything please? I am thinking to go from 8 to 16 vRam.
i hope you can change the color on thr rgb illuminated keyboard to a single color.
rgb and plasticky vibes really turn me off.
You definitely can. No worries on that front.
They doing this so people will buy 80/90 series 😢😢
Import laptop from the US if you have a family relative there. It is the only way you can buy a good gaming laptop for a great price
4070 is the new 3060
So sad but true.
how come ? 90 - 100 watts 4060m have the same performances as 140 - 150 watts 3070ti m.
hahahahahahahahahaha funniest joke ever! 4070 is 10% faster than 3070ti, not to mention the DLSS3+FG. Get lost loser! hAVE FUN WITH YOUR LITTLE 3060 LMAO
@@Terafied OMG what's true about that? That's the dumbest comment ever! even 4060 beats 3060, let alone 4070 140w that is faster than the 3070ti by 9-14%
8GB Vram is fine if you have 32GB DDR5 ram, you lack understanding of the products you review.
Thank you for your comment. It’s true that having a larger system RAM, especially DDR5, can help in certain scenarios. However, the VRAM in a GPU serves a different purpose. It’s used to store textures, shaders, and other data close to the GPU in graphics-intensive applications. So, while 8GB of VRAM might be sufficient for many users, for those who intend to play the latest games at high settings or use VRAM-intensive applications, having more VRAM would be beneficial.
This laptop is too thick.
but the cooling should be better than a thin gaming laptop
