MUX Switch with
NVIDIA Advanced Optimus
With NVIDIA® Advanced Optimus, the laptop can
automatically route frames from the discrete GPU directly to the display using a MUX
Switch, bypassing the integrated graphics. This pathing improves performance by 5-10% compared to
machines without a MUX
Switch, making sure you get the absolute best gaming experience — all without needing touch a single
button.
OLED is Here
Finally, laptop gamers can enjoy the
ultra-fast
response times and incredible contrast ratios that are only possible
with OLED technology. This panel boasts a 2.5K resolution, giving it incredible pixel density on a
16-inch screen, with
a 240Hz refresh rate and G-SYNC that makes all of your games look silky smooth. With 100% coverage
of the DCI-P3 color
space, color accuracy with a ΔE of less than 1, and VESA HDR True Black 500 certification, prepare
to be immersed in HDR
content so lifelike that the screen melts away.
Fast
Leading OLED
panels with NVIDIA® G-SYNC support
OLED displays have an ultrafast 0.2ms response
time, which ensures smoother fast-paced action scenes, low-latency
gameplay, and subtle details like blur-free text scrolling. We’re also proud to support NVIDIA®
G-SYNC, a critical
refresh rate adjustment technology for gaming laptops that was unavailable on OLEDequipped machines
until the launch of
the 2024 Zephyrus G16.
NVIDIA® G-SYNC
Technology
Nothing breaks in-game immersion like stuttering
and tearing. GPUs render frames at variable rates, but displays usually
refresh at a constant clip, so they can get out of sync, causing visible hitching and artifacts
that
pull you out of the
action. ROG is proud to introduce the first-ever OLED display in a laptop capable of using
NVIDIA®
G-SYNC, which allows
the refresh rate of the display to synchronize with the GPU’s frame rate to eliminate visual
tearing, minimize
stuttering, and reduce input lag.
Dolby Vision®
Technology
Scene to scene, frame to frame, Dolby Vision
makes media look better. The technology improves on standard 4K high
dynamic range (HDR) video, dynamically adjusting visuals to make every image in front of you
richer,
brighter, and
livelier. Creators can film and edit their streams, videos, and other content in a format
commonly
used by industry
professionals.
Pantone® Color
Validation
Every display is factory-calibrated to ensure
that colors are accurate to the Pantone® palette. Artists, designers, and content creators can
add
high-quality content to their portfolios and enjoy richer
gaming visuals all on the same machine.
100% DCI-P3 Color
Coverage
While the sRGB color space is the standard for
most digital visuals, it only represents about 75% of the DCI-P3 spectrum
used for professional filmmaking. Displays with complete DCI-P3 coverage offer a wide color
gamut
for more vibrant
images, and with a Delta E of less than 1*, the Zephyrus G16’s display lets you experience films
and
other media exactly
the way they were meant to be seen.
0dB Ambient Cooling
Enjoy truly silent cooling under light workloads with 0dB Ambient Cooling technology. In the
Silent operating mode, the
cooling system switches off all fans during everyday tasks to dissipate heat passively. This
lets you concentrate on
your work and immerse yourself in movies with less distraction. If CPU or GPU temperatures
increase, the fans
automatically switch on again.
Redesigned keyboard
Previous keyboard designs focused on keeping the chassis temperatures cool, keeping your
fingers comfortable during long
gaming sessions. The newly redesigned keyboard not only keeps your hands comfortable on the
trackpad and keyboard deck
but increases air intake for the main system components as well, boosting the Zephyrus G16’s
cooling performance without
increasing weight or chassis size.
Heatsink
At the heart of every great laptop is a great cooling solution. Despite its ultra-thin
chassis, the Zephyrus G16
features a dual exhaust heatsink that helps to efficiently pass heat outside the machine for
sustained performance. By
placing these heatsinks closer to the chassis, heated air travels more efficiently out of
the machine than ever before
by reducing recirculation.
Vapor Chamber
Traditional laptops utilize a system of heatpipes to draw heat from the processor towards
the heatsinks. But sometimes,
a vapor chamber is more efficient. With much more surface contact, including on the VRM
circuitry, the Zephyrus G16’s
vapor chamber cools as much of the mainboard as possible before passing it off to the
heatsinks. Limited space doesn’t
need to limit your cooling potential.
Liquid Metal
Liquid metal compound from Thermal Grizzly reduces CPU temperatures by up to 13°C compared
to standard thermal paste.
Applying it onto CPUs is delicate work, so ROG commissioned custom equipment to automate the
process with mechanical
precision and designed a patented internal fence to contain the compound.
2 nd Gen Arc Flow Fans
The Zephyrus G16 was the first generation of ROG laptop to receive our redesigned
2 nd Gen Arc Flow Fans™. We’ve added small bends at the end of each of the 84
primary blades that reduce both power
consumption and turbulence. The fans also now feature a dual-impeller design, with a smaller
set of 42 fan blades inside
that allow more air to be sucked through with each rotation of the fan, similar to a jet
turbine. These fans consume 16%
less power while increasing airflow by 11%, enabling the high-performance components inside
to run their very best.
Dust Filter
Dust and fibers can collect inside your laptop, trapping heat and causing degraded
performance over time. A filter over
the G16’s air intakes helps keep dust out, allowing the CPU and GPU to breathe easier for
years of smooth and stable
operation.
Exhaust Vents
The Zephyrus G16 features a dual exhaust heatsink, with one next to the laptop’s rubber
feet, exhausting air downward,
and one at the rear of the machine, exhausting air underneath our new display hinge and
keeping it away from the screen.
This design also keeps warm air away from your mousing hand for extra comfort during
extended gaming sessions.
Effortless control
The trackpad and keyboard are critical for controlling your
laptop, so we spared no expense with the design of the
Zephyrus G16. It boasts an extra large trackpad to maximize ease of scrolling. We’ve also
increased the keycap size by
12% for smoother typing as well, thanks to extra rigidity from the CNC machining. An extra long
1.7mm travel distance
gives the keyboard switches a premium typing feel, and with a lifetime of 20 million presses,
it’s a perfect long-term
partner.
Premium Glass Power Key
Windows Hello
An infrared camera ensures seamless
unlocking with Windows Hello support, even in low light conditions.
Aura
Sync
Aura Sync support allows you to
easily pair and color coordinate all of your ROG RGB equipped peripherals.
Stealth Hinge Design
12.24% Larger Key Cap
Sleek Design
The new Zephyrus G16 catches your eye the moment
you see it. Precision CNC-machined from aluminum alloy, this high
strength material accepts complex shapes and also looks absolutely gorgeous after being anodized in
either Eclipse Gray
or the breathtaking Platinum White colorway. The sleek chassis and matte finish of the Zephyrus G16
simply beg to be
touched.
A Slice of Brilliance
The Zephyrus G16 is ready to light up your world with the Slash Lighting array. A bold streak across
the lid of the
machine, Slash Lighting is an evolution of the elegance and individuality that make Zephyrus so
unique. It retains the
customization of its predecessor, with a design inspired by sci-fi and contemporary art.
Precision
Craftsmanship
Built from aluminum alloy, the chassis of the
Zephyrus G16 is painstakingly CNC-machined to minimize excess volume while
maintaining rigidity. Using precision tools just 0.7mm in diameter, channels for the keyboard,
touchpad and speakers are
milled to ultra-tight tolerances for a premium and robust chassis with components that stretch edge
to edge. After an
eight-step process, the sandblasted, polished and anodized G16 chassis stands ready to support its
flagship hardware.
Carving out channels for the keyboard, touchpad, and speakers with ultra-tight tolerances
allow them to lay
edge-to-edge. Maximum space, maximum efficiency.
Each keyhole, and the nearby keyboard vents, are milled individually. This gives the metal a
more premium finish and
maintains structural strength to minimize keyboard flex when the chassis is fully assembled.
The holes for the speakers are drilled at a super high 100,000 RPM, allowing for ultra-tight
tolerances and a design
that spans from one edge of the machine to the other.
Pump Up The Volume
With a staggering 47% volume increase from the previous speakers and an ultra-low bass frequency of
100Hz, the G16
produces clear and vibrant sound that you wouldn’t expect from an ultra-slim 16-inch machine.
Whether you’re vibing to
your favorite podcast or saving the world in the latest games, the Zephyrus G16 is ready to pump up
the volume.
Protecting your OLED
display
OLED Care
ROG OLED laptops come with an ROG-exclusive OLED Care mechanism that’s proven to protect
your display. Image
persistence, or burn-in, on an OLED display can occur if a static high-contrast image is
displayed for a prolonged
period of time. To avoid this, OLED Care include Pixel Shift technology, which moves
displayed pixels slightly to avoid
consistently showing static images on your desktop and reduces the chance of burn-in.
Armoury Crate
When you want to tweak settings, monitor temperatures, or tinker with your laptop, Armoury
Crate is your command center.
Real-time monitoring allows you to see what your GPU, CPU and memory are doing. RGB can be
adjusted on a game-by-game
basis with Aura Sync. Fan and power profiles allow you to change the acoustics, power
delivery, and thermal
characteristics of the laptop on the fly. And exclusive game deals keep your library topped
off at all times.
Specifications may vary depending upon region / model.
