In this video, we're taking a look at the ROG Strix G18 RTX 4080 Core i9 13980 the the new QHD+. 18 inch display. This new graphics card RTX 4080 crushes.We'll put the card through its paces and see how it performs in various games, and we'll also do a quick game benchmark to see how it compares to other cards on the market. So be sure to watch this video to see all the details about the ROG Strix G18 RTX 4080 Core i9 13980 display!
You have the best review right now of the G18 on TH-cam. Easy to follow, clear and concise, sensible thoughts. Thank you for the hard work! You’ve convinced me to get mine!
Appreciate it man.
I purchased the 4070 version with 2TB ssd and 64gb ram for the same price, as someone who has been purchasing Alienware laptops and desktops since 2013, I gotta say I am a fan of ROG now because their ability to keep the price very very good while still having insane specs, the cooling ability on this one is crazy too, running Hogwarts legacy above 100 fps consistory and a cpu temp about 80, it’s not even loud at all, on the other hand I can hear Alienware sounding like an airplane taking off doing the same thing 😂
Rtx 4070 gives pretty much the same performance as Rtx 3070TI. How much did the laptop costed for you? Can you please give the website's link where you bought the product from?
I agree. Their aggressive price to performance is making them the winner this year
@@consumertechwarehouse ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
A Clear Winner !!!
Will purchase one Very soon.
Keep up the good work
You are The Best. 👍
Alienware? So you didn't do any research at all prior I see
Your reviews have come such a very long way from where you started, leaps and bounds. The way you present content, the editing etc. Well done. As I'm looking to upgrade from the Razer 17" 2022, I'm very excited to hear your review on the 18". Maybe a comparison between the two would be on the cards, things like have the speakers improved? minimum brightness? etc. Thanks in advance.
Thanks man. Still have lots to improve on. I don’t have the 17 anymore. Speakers sound like they improved though. Minimum brightness I’ll report on. Didn’t test that yet. But the screen is like 580 nits though. It’s super bright. Honestly though it’s the same laptop but with an 18 inch screen and much much better performance. If that’s enough go for it. If not, I think you can hold onto your blade 17 for another few years.
@@consumertechwarehouse keep going men. great vids
@@consumertechwarehouse Hi man how long did the laptop ran when plugged out(60Hz)? Please also tell the same for Eco Mode from Armoury Crate
@@consumertechwarehouse I've already ordered the 18" 4080 version with 32gb/2tb. Glad to hear the speakers have improved, they already weren't bad in the 17". Also the screen brightness I always felt was too dim on the 17" at 300 nits. Look forward to your take and review, keep up the great work. 🙏🏻
@@consumertechwarehouse Dude. Say please. What the name song?
Great video, will be sticking around for more
Your review is way better than those famous reviewers with 1M+ subs
Thanks. I try to make videos I always wanted to see when I started making these
G17 and G18 are nice. I had the G17. I returned it for a scar 16 i9 4090. Man night and day difference performance and visually. More rgb. Better performance
I just got this yesterday and for the most part I like it, but I have quite a few gripes about this.
1. Windows 11................ god 11 sucks balls.
2. The power cord coming out of the power supply going to the power connector is extremely short. I cannot put the supply on the floor like I've been used to with all previous models I've owned.
3. The power connector is in the absolute worst spot it could be. You have to plug it up and move the cord toward you instead of it going toward the rear where the power supply is or you end up roasting the cord because it blocks the vent.
4. The USB ports. The 2 standard USB's are on the wrong side. Plug a mouse and phone up, and the cords are in your way. They also partially block the right vent, where if they were on the left side, they could just hang off and not be in the way. This part wouldn't be an issue if they had put USB on the left side like every other model in the past like every other brand, but there are only 2 USB C, so I will have to buy a new cable and an usb to usb c adapter just to use my mouse and phone on this.
Besides those things, I'm enjoying it. From a MSI G75 3060 to this one with a 4080, I never thought the difference would be this massive. $2725 well spent.($226 stupid taxes)..
Dear friend, I recently learned that Intel's 13th and 14th generation processors were manufactured with a serious microcode algorithm issue that causes PCs and laptops to freeze (blue screen, restart). Have you ever noticed something like this?
No I use these to do all my gaming and make every video you see. There's a bug here and there and maybe I'll get a blue screen once in a while. But nothing widespread across all the laptops I've used
Will be my next upgrade.
The Strix G18
Thx for confirming of what I know about the Strix G18 already. Have Subscribed accordingly. You're THE BEST Bro.🙏👍
Nice man. Hope you like it as much as I do
Can anyone pls help me out I m too stuck in the same situation confused between which to buy I need laptop only for gaming purposes I don't care about sound n all all that matters to me is raw performance and fps g18 is a superior cpu 13980 hx compared to legion 13900hx but I don't know if the cpu maks any difference in game I don't play games like csgo n and I just love playing AAA titles game like God of war last of us Hogwarts legacy like that offline game the only thing Matter to me is gaming I would use this laptop for years it's for my one time purchase so pls help me guy select the best laptop just for gaming which will perform best asus rog srtix g18 RTX 4080 vs Lenovo legion pro 7i RTX 4080 PLEASE SUGGEST GUIDE ME make the purchase of my life and also which have more color accurate display so my game look amazing in ultra graphic
im already having probelms with my mine meaning with smooth gaming on lets say forza horizon 4 i tested it out terrible smooth motion/visuals and input lag feels like i'm playing on a console just a little bit better but not by much anyways to help these kinds of issues if not i'm returning this where i bought it at bestbuy and going to be getting a gaming pc based on the parts i choose and geeksquad will build it for me and hopefully i get the smooth and immersive gaming experience ive always dreamed of with the desktop gaming pc instead of the gaming laptop situation i'm having right now
How is the display? I really hope it looks glossy... im too used to a 4k high end tv
I wonder if 4090 gets as far ahead of 4080 as 3080ti did with 3070ti, cause if the difference is like single digit percentage points while price difference is closer to 30%+, the base G18s could be the best option from Asus big boys department, as it's only limited by the top GPU option compared to Scar one, and it drops the lit-up lid logo and rear exhaust lights in favor of black or light green reflective design and dark grey or light green rear exhaust panel plastic respectively. Now that's a trade-off many people could be very happy about if the performance difference is next to negligible.
I got a 4090 scar and can't wait to start testing it
yes. Depending ok the Resolution around 35% Performance boost overall.
@@Optora. on a laptop? Not a chance.
Amazing review, is the firsr video that says the difference between the Scar and the G, best wishes man!
Thanks. I have a scar 18 on the way too. I can’t wait to compare them
@@consumertechwarehouse Cool! I subscribed right now!
Asus is just destroying their competition with their gaming laptops,
The same specs with razor or Alienware will cost around $700-800 more then this beast.
Gonna get mine next week really excited. XD
100% agreed. Only thing is good luck finding one in stock
Razer Blade 18 * Acer Predator Helios 18 * Asus Strix Scar 18 * Asus Strix G18 * Alienware M18 . Which laptop of these will be the most reliable ? which is the best ?
I’m pretty sure they will all be good. One thing you didn’t mention is MSI. They seem to be the most reliable. But I haven’t tested the other laptops you mentioned so can’t say for sure
@consumertechwarehouse Thank you very much for answer
@consumertechwarehouse might be, but this year the Titan comes with miniLED 4K&FHD switchable native resolution panel 17.3" in size and 16:9 aspect ratio only, so no taller screen options here, and the Raider comes with a smaller 17" 8:5 AR taller screen, so neither with taller 18-inchers. Plus, the Raider gets some red and yellow plastic/paint-job finishing touches at the same time on the hind quarters, somewhat subdued but reminiscing Acer lower tier Nitros with red big plastic panels or Asus older Strix Gxxs with red or green big ones... all while typically costing about 25% more. Sure, better ports or 64GB faster RAM or single 2TB drive kind of recompense a part of the sum, and if you like the dual colored accents, you might not find Raiders ghastly for the price, and if you need memory capacity Titan still takes the upper hand due to 128GB option (albeit with heavily downgraded speeds)... If we're not focusing on 18 inchers alone, then the 16 inchers are close by with the Scar 16 and G16 (a bit older thick 15.6 looking), more travel friendly Zephyrus M16, let alone the Lenovo workhorses from the 7 Pro lines or Acer's/Razer's/Alienware's 16" counterparts to those 18" models listed...
Judging by the specs alone maybe the G18 with 4080 will be best bang for buck, but no access to 4090 may, if it is far ahead of the cut down 4080 chip, gravitate prospective buyers towards Scar 18.
But judging by specs for overall best option in a 17" plus size space, maybe this year Acer Predator Helios 18 will be the best, simply because it's supposed to rival Asus pricing whilst offering subdued when needed and more travel friendly design, supposedly without impacting thermal performance or power delivery, plus it's supposed to be the only miniLED 8:5AR 18-incher in this group, so maybe best screen on offer out of these. That is unless Acer meant only the 16-incher gets the miniLED treatment, and the 18-incher is IPS only as all the other devices from the list, as then they're all on equal footing and price/reliability/support will be the deciding factors...
And if we take into account support, Razer has limited global centres due to mostly US oriented target audience/market. Asus probably has the most extensive network due amount of countries and regions they're selling their devices in. Alienware is served by Dell, so the support network could be even better... In terms of reliability... it might be hard to point either way since they all are one way or another sporting some sort of new design, either chassis&cooling or just cooling, so prolonged life expectancy could be difficult to verdict on right now...
Dude you reminded us this is lower end/cheap model so many times that I'm having a hard time focusing on the video. If the laptop is so cheap why is it $2500?? What's considered not cheap for you?
Yeah it’s not cheap. But relatively speaking for what you’re getting. Back when I made this video, a laptop with these specs were around $3500.
In the UK this laptop is over 3k, even the 4070 variant cost more than your one, it’s £2500 for 4070
Great review! I just bought this laptop and noticed all 4 corners with backlight bleed seems to be very common in all ips panels did you notice this? Also how’s the coil whine been?
Yeah every unit I’ve had has coil whine and backlight bleed. It kind of isn’t a deal breaker but definitely annoying. I’m covering it in future videos. Didn’t want to because wasn’t sure if it was just mine. But they all have it
I also got the ASUS strix scar 17 on sale for 1999 has the i9 and 3070ti can’t decide which to keep lol. Would you pay the 500 more for the g18 or go with scar 17 🤷🏻♂️ thanks!
If the $500 doesn’t break the bank for you go with the 4080 g18. The additional vram and overall performance will keep it relevant for at least an extra year or two
1920 euros here în România with i9 and gtx 4060 and 32ram..still feels a bit expensive lol..but I neeeed it
Yeah that's a lot compared to US prices. But I alwathear Europe prices are much higher
your videos are great, i'll be a decision between the strix and scar for me
I’m going to get this for my birthday, early! Do you think it runs any game on it?
Does your version have alot of backlight bleed? Mine has it on all four corners
Yeah both the strix and scar has it. It's unfortunately
I'm very likely buying this laptop but I have one small question. Using a 18 inch display, isn't the 2560x1600 resolution a bit of an overkill? I haven't played in 4K yet but I currently own a 24 inch 1080p monitor and it looks great.
No qhd isn’t overkill because your eyes are closer to the screen than a monitor. At less than arm’s length, 1080p on a laptop doesn’t look sharp.
Thanks bro for the words about aspect ratio. I prefer 16:9 and so I will get the 17 inch Model 2023.
Thanks
Please please please do an octane bench on this… it would help all 3D animators out so much.
For anyone wondering. I bought the 4090 rog strix 18’ and the octane bench score is 752.19
Thanks. I didn’t reply to your comment yet because I was going to run it and respond. I never ran it before so I had to figure out what it was and how to get it.
I am looking forward to your Razer Blade 18 review and comparison to this. When is it coming out? Love your channel, by the way...
I’m doing a dedicated razer blade 18 then a comparison
love the detailed video, im debating if i should keep the g18 4080 for the screen over legion 4090, screen or performance. both same price >,>
You'll be downgrading in terms of screen. And there's not a huge difference between the 4080 and 4090 imo. If you don't mind the size of the g18 I would stick with it.
it´s great to see a new video from you!!!
Thanks man. Good to be back.
I just bought it. So far so good, just the cable giving me headache as with any little move is unpluging :(
I hate how short the cord is
sir btw did this laptop use the realtek audio chip ? I just curious since my previous TUF 2022 cmedia audio work pretty suck
What game was that with the rolling ball great video btw I love that laptop
Overwatch 2. I'm a bit too addicted to that game
Did you film the screen or did you cut that in? It looks great
That was filmed! It's an awesome looking screen definitely
good review !!What dog do you have ? I found dog hair in video 😁
Lol. And I try so hard to dust and wipe it away before filming. I guess it’s not possible to get rid of it all. I have a hound mix and a terrier mix. You’ll see them in the background of some of my videos in the future.
2100$ is a good deal ??
Yeah it is!!!! It's on sale now
Which one is more immersive for you, this laptop screen or 16 inch mini led?
Very very tough choice. Bigger is more immersive but the mini led looks so much better. I’m leaning towards the mini led for now
Excellent video, I love the design of the ASUS ROG G16 which is similar to the smaller G18, but for the price I think the HP OMEN 16 is better, I see that the temperature in the HP is better since the ASUS has three fans
Thanks. I might check out an omen this year. I haven't covered one of those yet

I think you should have hit that `Ultimate` GPU mode in armoury crate to get the best out of it (mux switch). Unless you ran your test with external monitor connected, which doesn't seems to be the case. So hello extra delay and lower FPS cuz of sending all the juice 4080m provides through internal intel GPU
All my testing for benchmarks is done through an external monitor. And there's advanced Optimus this year so it automatically switches when a game is loaded. So no need to do the restart for ultimate. Though it would be interesting to see if there's a difference still
Nice bud wish it was 16 inch version I would of bought at best buy
The g16 bro
Bro entre la g16 4070 y la g18 4080 hay un rendimiento considerable?
Soy arquitecto y tambien gamer
whats the difference between this and the scar? is the case aluminum?
Both plastic. The scar does have a better feeling plastic though. But not by a crazy amount. They're mostly the same
What about connecting this laptop to TV via HDMI, what should I do to connect it?
Literally just plug it in and you’re golden. I actually sold my PlayStation and Xbox and only use my gaming laptop when I want to game on a tv and couch. I change it to only show up on the display 2 which is the tv and set the resolution to 3840 x 2160
there is power diference in g16 vs g18? i dont care de screen size only the performance...
No. They perform very similar.
Hello may i ask if its okay to use the laptop while charging? just curious if this affect on unit thanks good day btw tnx for this gain lot information
Yeah. It’s actually recommended to use it while charging as much as possible
@@consumertechwarehouse wow that's great, thank you so much
Thanks for your great video!
Is there also a version with 32GB of RAM? Or only 16GB..
Is 16GB good enough for gaming and creator work or what are your thoughts on this?
Gaming yes. Creative I would like to test more. I’ll try on Lightroom and premiere and hopefully will cover that in the next video
@@consumertechwarehouse Thanks man, looking forward! Looks like the best bang for the buck right now for the 2023 line up.
There are 32GB, so 2x16GB SKUs in all regions, some regions are purported to have 2x32GB setups as well. Bear in mind that the 2TB option is basically 2x1TB in RAID0 for the moment, Asus PR team mentioned in some posts that a 2x2TB RAID0 option will be available only in select regions though I don't recall them specifying which ones exactly... I'm not sure if the overall 2TB worth of disk space is going to be enough for some projects in terms of creator work, especially considering always looming option of whole system and data breakage on one of the drives failing, certainly it's not the option professionals would like, but at least the local storage is faster due to RAID0 and you can always store majority of your assets on a NAS given this has both 2.5Gbit and WiFi6e for networking... though it would have been even better if we saw 10Gbit ETH designs in more creator oriented designs.
What is the battery life during basic productivity tasks? I am not sure I saw you talk about this in the video
Battery is usually related to the Intel side. It's too early to be definitive but it's a bit better than last year. Not by much. I got 6 hours yesterday doing normal stuff
@@consumertechwarehouse i see, cheers, not too bad, but looks like its better to get a dedicated device for productivity, maybe mac air or smth. gonna make a hole in the budget for sure
Hı great video. İn my counrty there is same laptop but it has rtx 4070 also İt is good Price but rtx 4080 one is a little expensive You think should İ buy rtx 4070 or 4080?
If you have the budget for a 4080 I would say go for it. Much better performance
@@consumertechwarehouse okay thanks 🙂
I just bought this but im disappointed with its speakers already
Did you run all the updates? Also open up the Dolby app. It got better with software updates. But still not as good as last year.
Does it need cooling pad while intensive gaming?
Nope. Cooling pad might not do much actually
Hi! Great review!
How do you check if the ports are connected to the GPU or not if you do not have access to the laptop? (I often search for that info for VR laptops which needs both ports and screen to be connected to the GPU).
I checked before with Asus support about Asus Rog Strix g18 (G814JI-N6062WK) and they said "Thunderbolt/HDMI and the USB-C port is connected to the GPU." Which makes me wonder if the Thunderbolt and HDMI and USB-C port is connected to the GPU or if Thunderbolt/HDMI does not mean both Thunderbolt and HDMI but something else. It might mean that I have gotten two different answers to the question about the Thunderbolt connection to GPU and I don´t care who´s right just that I get the info correct in the end. Or I might have misunderstood something. (I am wondering because I might want to buy some future VR-headset).
Thanks for your videos!
Thanks. All ports are connected to the GPU. All the USB c ports and the HDMI. I plug them in, open Nvidia control panel, and make sure I have gsync
@@consumertechwarehouse Thanks for the answer! And very fast too!
Is full review coming in the end?
Yeah before the end of the week
Please do the Razer Blade 18 with the 4090.
If I can get one in. I have a blade 18 4080 right now that working on
No free mouse and bag?
Strix G18 vs Raider 67HX OLED
Which has the better display?
The ge67 definitely. If they made an 18 inch 240 hz oled panel and can get a bit more brightness it would be game over
Who would give me one of these, for streaming😂❤
When it will be launched in India
So weird that the new lineup of gaming laptops are now 14,16, and 18 inches and all with 16:10 displays. Strange times we are living in. The only thing I find interesting about this transition is that the new 16 inch Razer Blade gets the same 175 watt tdp 4090 and 330 watt brick as the 18 inch. While I don't like the new sizes and aspect ratios, I do admire that gaming laptops are getting the full fat mobile gpus now.
Do you kno when the Zephyrus Duo 16 is coming out?
They had some on Newegg but I missed it. It's sold out now. Trying to get one in
Hey man do you think its worth waiting for intels 14th gen meteor lake chips? Its said to boost cpu performance by 40 to 50 percent. I imagine that'lI have abig boost to games considering how bottlencecked they usually are. I think theyre being released in quarter two or three this year.
While I can't be sure, I don't think they are releasing any new Intel chips for laptops this year. They just brought out the 13th gen. Not unless AMD destroys them performance wise
I didn't hear anything about performance being boosted by that much, as far as I'm aware I thought it was a big increase to chip efficiency?
Where can I purchase this ?
Where Can i buy It ?
Does throttlestop work on these new CPUs?
Not on this laptop. No.
@@TalonsTech i think yes, GizmoSlipTech review the same model and undervolted in bios, like -0.3 i think. Awesome performance and temps. It depends of the motherboard too.
Why Windows laptops keep using those gigantic power adaptors? That ends with portability.
These laptops require a lot more power than macs especially to get that level of gaming. The MacBook Pro m2 max even only uses a total of like 100 watts. A full performance gaming laptop uses 275 watts if not more. So it’s like double the amount of power draw. More power means bigger bricks. They’re working on reducing the size though
Where to buy please?
Best Buy. US

Hello sir, is this the 240hz display or the 165?
240hz
@@consumertechwarehouse So if this is the case, it means it's the rog nebula display option at 1600p. This is strange, because the nebula display has an advertised constrast ratio of 1200:1 and your test only showed 1030 :(
I really like this laptop but that coil whine is big no for me :/ and there is no way to know if they sre going to fix it or not
The scar has it way less. I actually noticed that the blade 16 4090 has it a bit. Might be the new components causing it. I'm assuming as tolerances at the facotiget better, these first out of the lot might be a bit problematic
No money for scar version though, I might go for g18 but maaan that coil whine ... Seems like something that is going to bug me a lot
I've lived with coil whine before I even knew what it was. So it just depends on how much you're willing to tolerate. The next batch shipping may have less whine. Hard to tell
In my country, 2500usd gets you the 4070 model and not 4080 which is dissapointing
I’ve had some overseas viewers tell me that they would come to US just to buy a gaming laptop and make a vacation out of it. And the money they save vs. buying in their own country almost pays for the trip.
@@consumertechwarehouse 😂😂😂😂
Full review please?
Spending time with it. Hopefully comisoon. But spoilers, at this price point, at least on the US it's an absolute win. It's 90% the same as the scar 18

I have a new scar and still has coil whine. Sometimes it goes away after a while
Is 4060 varient will also come ???
I've seen it on the strix 16.

2 dead pixels/dust mark under top center of screen.

For 2k it's a no brainer buy. It's a good laptop. MSi sucks this year.
The vector has a colorized vintage 1971 black and white display. Ted Turner designed it for his colorized mgm movie collection. It's absolute crap!
And the weak junky keyboard lighting on msi vector and raider is horrible. Can't even see many of the keys. Great for illiterates.

I have a video comparing both. Performance is close to identical. Especially in single player games, it’s mostly the gpu. And in those types of games they perform identical. I haven’t seen much difference between the 13900 and the 13980.

review video is too often out of focus
Shallow depth of field really makes it difficult to pin point focus. But I love those out of focus backgrounds. Maybe it's just a matter of finding a balance
Wow i can actually understand what you are saying. Great English!!!
I’m American. So my English is as good as other Americans. So thanks?
@@consumertechwarehouse I wouldn't go that far........
need to stop drinking the Modelo my friend. Heard they don't filter the water in Mexico so your probably drinking estroladriol so it's effecting your hearing. Saw it on Mark Dices channel so it must be true.
Are you indian🙄
I just want an M18.
An Asus M16, scaled up to an 18inch display, no childish RGB, no cheap looking translucent garbage, & a numberpad.
Man I was just talking about that with a buddy of mine. That would be perfect.
@@consumertechwarehouse it's so frustrating because I use a numberpad quite a bit
But that M16 looks way better, more grown up with a better display (mini led).
It's infuriating that it doesn't have the 13980hx, or even a 13900hx chip to get the 24 cores in, or just a big brother of the same styling
The M16 with a 4080 Costa £3300... Eye watering
