Specification	MSI Vector 16 HX AI A2XWIG-058US	ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) GU605MV
Release year	2025	2024
Model code	Vector 16 HX AI A2XWIG-058US (part no. VECTOR16HXA2058); Cosmo Gray The A2XWIG letters mark the RTX 5080 Laptop GPU configuration; RTX 5070, 5070 Ti and 5090 versions of the same chassis are sold under other codes. Memory, SSD and Wi-Fi card vary by SKU number. MSI	—
Processor	Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX; 24 cores (8 P + 16 E), 24 threads, 36 MB L3, up to 5.4 GHz The chip also includes an Intel AI Boost NPU, a block set aside for running AI tasks at low power. MSI	Intel Core Ultra 9 185H; 16 cores, 22 threads, 2.3 GHz base, up to 5.1 GHz, 24 MB cache; Intel AI Boost NPU (up to 11 TOPS) The NPU is a separate unit for running AI tasks at low power. Intel lists 45 W base and 115 W maximum turbo power for this processor. ASUS
Graphics	NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU; 16 GB GDDR7; up to 2287 MHz The RTX 5080 Laptop GPU is not the same product as the desktop RTX 5080 card; its power limit and cooling conditions differ. MSI	NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU, 8 GB GDDR6; ROG Boost 1940 MHz at 100 W (85 W + 15 W Dynamic Boost) Because of the thin chassis, the power limit is lower than in thicker gaming laptops that run the same GPU at up to 140 W, which can mean lower frame rates under load. The GPU is soldered. ASUS
GPU power limit	Up to 175 W with Dynamic Boost; up to 240 W combined CPU + GPU with MSI OverBoost Ultra MSI notes the figure may vary by scenario. 175 W is the upper limit NVIDIA allows for the RTX 5080 Laptop GPU; the card draws less in lower power modes and on battery. MSI	—
Display	16-inch QHD+ 2560 × 1600 (16:10), 240 Hz, IPS-level panel; 100% DCI-P3 (typical) MSI describes the panel as "IPS-level", which does not necessarily mean it is an IPS panel. 240 Hz makes motion smoother in fast games, provided the game produces high frame rates. MSI	ROG Nebula: 16-inch 2.5K (2560 × 1600) 16:10, IPS-level, anti-glare low-reflection (AGLR); 240 Hz, 3 ms, 100% DCI-P3, G-Sync, Pantone Validated This QP version uses an IPS-level panel; the QR-coded versions have a 0.2 ms OLED panel. ASUS
Memory	32 GB (2 × 16 GB) DDR5; two SO-DIMM slots, up to 96 GB, up to DDR5-6400 The MSI USA table lists the installed modules as DDR5-5600; the 6400 in the spec sheet is the top speed the platform supports. The slots take replaceable modules. MSI	32 GB LPDDR5X-7467 soldered on board; not upgradeable ASUS states there is no memory slot in this configuration; capacity must be chosen at purchase. ASUS
Storage	2 TB NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD; two M.2 slots (one Gen4, one Gen5) MSI says storage upgrades should go through a service centre. The Gen5 slot can give higher sequential speeds than Gen4 with a compatible SSD. MSI	2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD; 2 × M.2 PCIe slots The second M.2 slot is for an additional SSD. ASUS
USB-C / Thunderbolt	2 × Thunderbolt 5 (DisplayPort and Power Delivery 3.1) The Thunderbolt 5 ports carry data, an external display and charging over one cable with compatible devices. The laptop reaches full performance on its 330 W adapter; USB-C charging runs at lower power. MSI	—
Other ports	2 × USB-A 3.2 Gen 2; HDMI 2.1 (8K 60 Hz / 4K 120 Hz); SD Express card reader; 3.5 mm headset jack The USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports transfer up to 10 Gbit/s. HDMI 2.1 can drive a 4K TV or monitor at 120 Hz. MSI	—
Wired network	2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45) MSI	—
Wireless	Intel Killer Wi-Fi 7 BE1750; Bluetooth 5.4 Some SKUs in the same family use Wi-Fi 6E AX211 and Bluetooth 5.3; this configuration ships with the Wi-Fi 7 card. MSI	Wi‑Fi 6E (802.11ax) triple-band 2 × 2; Bluetooth 5.2 ASUS
Webcam	IR FHD (1080p 30 fps); HDR, 3DNR+; physical shutter The infrared camera enables Windows Hello face sign-in. MSI	—
