Hi, I recently purchased a second-hand ROG Zephyrus G15 laptop from eBay. The listing didn’t mention any performance problems, except for some screen scratches that didn’t bother me. Upon delivery, the laptop had fresh windows and after reinstalling drivers, I ran the Heaven benchmark. Both performance and turbo mode consistently showed low frame rates—180 to 50 FPS—and memory clock remained affected.

I’ve shared a video to illustrate my experience: [View video link].

I also noticed it struggles with games like Witcher 3 and Time Spy. When I contacted the seller, he suggested he had never experienced such issues.

Anyone else have information about this problem?

Update your update with complete details about the system's hardware specifications and operating system. Include the disk drive information, capacity, and current usage. List every peripheral connected to the device. Specify which games you enjoy and provide their sources.

Based on the details you shared about the changing FPS and memory clock during the Heaven benchmark on your ROG Zephyrus G15, several possible issues stand out. These variations aren't typical for consistent testing and might point to thermal throttling, power supply problems, or configuration errors.
