ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2025) G615LR / MSI Titan 18 HX AI A2XWJG-070

MSI says OverBoost Ultra can allocate up to 270 W combined to the CPU and GPU; the actual figure depends on the application.

140 W is the maximum total graphics power; the 25 W Dynamic Boost portion is shifted to the GPU when processor load is low. Real power in games varies with profile and temperature.

The laptop version does not share the desktop RTX 5090’s configuration or power, so its performance is not the same either.

The MUX switch connects the internal display directly to the NVIDIA GPU to cut latency in games; Advanced Optimus makes that switch without a restart.

Memory is socketed, so it can be upgraded later; the shipped capacity varies by SKU.

This configuration ships at MSI’s stated maximum; both slots are filled, so memory cannot be added, only swapped.

The shipped SSD capacity varies by SKU; the second slot can be used to add a drive later.

MSI lists four M.2 slots: one PCIe 5.0 x4 and three PCIe 4.0 x4. This SKU ships with three drives; MSI mentions Super RAID 5 support.

ASUS also lists FHD+ 165 Hz and 300 Hz panel options in the family; check the panel of the specific SKU being bought.

MSI lists VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification and about 100% DCI-P3 colour coverage. Mini LED splits the backlight into zones, deepening blacks in dark scenes, though a faint halo can appear around bright objects.

Which layout ships depends on the SKU; ASUS’s table does not split this per model.

USB-C delivers at most 100 W, below what the 280 W or 380 W adapter supplies.

As this version has the RTX 5070 Ti, the GPU also gets liquid metal.

A vapor chamber spreads heat over a wide surface, helping the CPU and GPU sustain high power for longer.

Dynamic Boost shifts spare power to the GPU when the processor draws less; 175 W is the upper limit for this laptop GPU.

USB-C charging is capped at 140 W; MSI recommends a 65–140 W USB-PD adapter. Full performance needs the included 400 W adapter.

It gives vibration feedback instead of a physical click; the surface is merged into the palm rest.

The IR sensor enables Windows Hello face sign-in.

The global spec table lists up to 96 GB of DDR5-6400 for this chassis; actual memory speed can vary with the module and processor combination.
