I’ve always been a big fan of ASUS, but unfortunately this laptop has been a disappointment. It crashes at least twice a week with a black screen error stating “TDR Failure: nvlddmkm.sys.” The crashes typically occur when opening an image or launching a program.
All NVIDIA drivers are fully up to date, and I regularly check for updates both manually and through MyASUS. Despite this, the issue has persisted consistently for the past four months. It’s especially frustrating given that I paid full price for the laptop.

The laptop is of premier quality, the keyboard is smooth, and the OLED display is great for high-quality gaming and streaming. This game can handle high-end games easily! Would definitely recommend at the price point.

Great laptop with exceptional OLED screen. The hardware is the best in the price range and delivers excellent performance. Great battery life and all this in a very slim chassis.

Alright so to start the laptop itself is very nice, screen is absolutely amazing, Keyboard feels great, speakers sound fantastic, even the chassis feels really solid, and lastly fan noise is good silent when doing basic things and can be loud during heavy loads....
Currently thats about were the good things end. Out of the box it gets decent battery life AC (Armory Crate) and the asus bloat can be very draining.
However, AC for my laptop isn't showing PL1 or PL2 controls, which means the laptop CPU will instantly jump to 110w and almost hit 100C within 20seconds, and begin throttling, and if the gpu is loaded up the head combined will be almost too much for the system. (No Ghelper will not change the PL1 or PL2 either already tried). It also has a function to allow windows to control power but disables the fan profile so even on a balanced profile it gets over 95C almost instantly doing 65w on the CPU because windows doesnt spin up the fan properly for the load...
Next problem if you use Davinci Resolve and want to render and were planning to use this for Cuda don't I tried everything and couldnt get it to complete 1 render on the 5070TI... integrated graphics no problem on rendering just takes a pinch longer....
Also had issues with it switch between dGPU and IGPU and not passing process currently to the dGPU on switch over when plugged in.
I did have the whole system crash and shutdown mid-test on turbo mode so that was cool....
All this wouldn't be the end of the world except that, these laptops were supposed to release almost 4months ago and they kept getting delayed partly due to NVIDIA screw up with the 50series ROPs missing and supply delay. At this stage of the game the G16 which isn't a new line feels like its software is in early Beta Version that ASUS took previous years software throw it on here and was like no need to test our users will do that.
I am going to give it another week now that others are getting the laptop but I have my doubts this will get corrected anytime soon, as I have seen the desktop 50series has been nothing, but problems and I was hoping the laptops would be better shame.... will probably be returning this laptop and either getting the last generation with a 40series or getting a Lenovo legion gaming laptop.... If any of the above does change and I keep it I will update my review.
We do understand your disappointment with the laptop and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are having issues. If you are experiencing issues with this laptop, check if Windows, drivers, BIOS, games and applications are up to date. Updates for the ROG Ally are posted at: https://rog.asus.com/us/laptops/rog-zephyrus/rog-zephyrus-g16-2025-gu605/helpdesk_download/. Additionally, check if you are running the most current Armoury Crate utility software. You may need to reconfigure your system, video, games and performance mode settings, not to go beyond the game's threshold, to minimize overheating. The most current version is available for download at: https://www.asus.com/supportonly/armoury%20crate/helpdesk_download/. While accessing cloud games or web applications, please ensure the device has access to an established router and internet service is working properly since poor and unstable internet connection will affect system stability and performance. Keeping the laptop always updated will maintain optimum system stability and performance. If these steps were performed to no avail, please try to run a diagnostics or optimization test using the "MyASUS" utility software or application. If this is not pre-installed on the laptop, please download the application at the Microsoft Store. For details on how to use "My ASUS", please go to: https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1041686/. If you need further assistance, please email me at [email protected] and I would be happy to help. Or you are most welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688.
