16-inch 2.5K 240Hz OLED Gaming Laptop
The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 GU605CX is a 16-inch gaming laptop built around a 2.5K 240Hz OLED panel. It targets enthusiasts who want a high-refresh display in a thin chassis. The system ships with Windows 11 Home installed.
OLED panel limits peak sustained brightness
The 16.0-inch WQXGA OLED runs at 2560 x 1600 with a 240Hz refresh rate. OLED technology delivers per-pixel contrast and fast response, though sustained full-screen brightness is lower than LCD alternatives. The 0.59 to 0.65-inch profile restricts cooling headroom for the 5.4 GHz turbo processor.
24 GB GDDR7 video memory decides 4K capability
The GeForce RTX 5090 mobile GPU includes 24 GB of GDDR7 memory. That frame-buffer size determines whether the laptop can hold 4K textures and large scenes without swapping to system RAM. The 32 GB LPDDR5X at 7467 MT/s and 16 TB of PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe storage support the GPU but do not replace its dedicated memory.

Questions about this item
Which storage capacity should I choose for the Zephyrus G16 GU605CX?
This unit ships with 16 TB total — two 8 TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSDs — so there is no capacity option to select at purchase.
What does the 240 Hz OLED panel deliver in daily use?
The 16 inch 2.5K 240 Hz OLED screen refreshes each frame every 4.2 ms, giving smooth motion in fast games and deep contrast for media.
What does the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface cap in practice?
The x4 link limits each 8 TB drive to the PCIe 4.0 maximum throughput, so sequential speeds top out at the Gen 4 ceiling.
