ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 16" WQXGA 240Hz OLED

The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 GU605CW-XS98-HID2 is a 16-inch gaming laptop finished in Platinum White. It runs Windows 11 Pro on an Intel Core Ultra 9-285H processor with 16 cores and a maximum turbo frequency of 5.4 GHz. The system includes 64 GB of LPDDR5X memory at 7467 MT/s and a 4 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. Graphics are provided by an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 with 16 GB of GDDR7 video memory. The 2.5K OLED panel delivers a 2560 x 1600 resolution at 240 Hz.

Best for creators and gamers needing a bright 240

This configuration suits users who want a high-refresh OLED display combined with a current-generation Core Ultra 9 CPU and RTX 5080 GPU in a 4.08 lb chassis. The factory-applied Gelid GC Extreme on the GPU and Conductonaut on the CPU target lower sustained temperatures. Buyers who prefer a traditional matte IPS panel, require user-replaceable memory modules, or need a larger chassis for additional drive bays should consider other models.

Deciding spec: 16-inch 2.5K 240 Hz OLED panel

The display is the primary differentiator. A 16.0-inch OLED running at 2560 x 1600 and 240 Hz provides per-pixel contrast and motion clarity that standard IPS screens cannot match. If colour-critical work or competitive gaming at high refresh rates is the priority, this panel justifies the configuration. If a lower refresh rate or non-OLED technology is acceptable, alternative laptops may offer better value.

Questions about this item

Does the 64 GB LPDDR5X memory require any additional RAM modules to reach full capacity?

The 64 GB LPDDR5X 7467 dual-channel memory is soldered on board, so no extra modules are needed or possible.

Will the RTX 5080 with 16 GB GDDR7 work with my existing G-Sync monitor over HDMI?

The laptop drives external displays through its HDMI and USB-C video outputs; G-Sync compatibility depends on the monitor and cable meeting the required specification.

How can I verify the 240 Hz OLED panel is running at its native 2560 x 1600 resolution after setup?

Open Windows Display Settings or the NVIDIA Control Panel and confirm the resolution reads 2560 x 1600 at 240 Hz.
