REVIEWS ASUS ROG ZEPHYRUS G14

graphics subscore focuses solely on GPU

performance on DX12 workloads.

As you can see, a fast CPU won’t make the

GPU go faster, and the higher-end GPUs rule.

The RTX 2060 Max-Q holds up surprisingly well,

though. Typically we’ve seen Max-Q laptops

give up a lot of performance to run in thin and

light laptops. In the ROG Zephyrus G14, the RTX

Cinebench R15 results put the G14 in its own class.
