Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 GA402R Gaming Laptop Review: AMD Times Two

[1 year later]

TLDL: do not get an all AMD laptop if you want to play games like AoE2 DE.

Even after all the BIOS updates and new drivers, Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition exhibits extreme frame drops, stuttering and lag (no matter the power mode, resolution or quality settings, FPS limits). FPS fall from 150+ down to 1FPS as the game progresses. Every time you place a building, especially farms, the game micro freezes for half a second.

This is due to the AMD Radeon RX GPU (6700S, 6800S) still having optimisation issues.

This is not an issue with AMD+Nvidia or Intel+Nvidia laptops like the Asus G15, M16 or Legion 5, 5 Pro, 7, Slim 7i.
Even the all AMD Lenovo Slim 7 (2022) has the same FPS issues as the all AMD Asus G14 (2022).
