THIS VERSION OF ASUS’S ROG Zephyrus M16 isn’t about affordability; it’s all about maximum performance in a modest chassis. Yes, we’re looking at the daddy, the RTX 4090 version, though not to the extreme 175W level that the likes of Razer have allowed this GPU to achieve in their systems.
Instead, you get the slightly more parsimonious 150W RTX 4090 spec, which is still technically at the top of its potential TGP rating, but without the extra 25W leeway manufacturers are allowed to add on top. Of course, this isn’t the same as the desktop version of the RTX 4090. It’s actually using a completely different GPU, the AD103 chip as seen in the desktop RTX 4080, right down to the core, cache, and memory configuration.
