Asus has begun rolling out beta BIOS updates to address widespread stuttering and performance issues on ROG laptops. The company confirmed September 26 via X.com that it had identified the root cause of the bug and will release finalized firmware beginning in early October. The first trial updates will be available for select configurations of the 2023 Strix Scar 15 (G533ZW) and 2023 Zephyrus M16 (GU604VI).
The BIOS updates arrive after weeks of user reports detailing consistent system-wide issues, audio crackling, and input lag on ROG notebooks. Asus initially said it was investigating the problem, but has now confirmed that engineers have “isolated the issue that causes stuttering and performance interruptions.” According to a statement shared by ROG North America, the company has begun posting beta BIOS versions for the affected SKUs, which will appear on official support pages “in the coming week.” Asus has stated that installing the beta will not void warranty coverage.
