PIXEL PERFECT POWER
Tackle any enemy with an Intel® Core™ i9-12900H CPU, paired with an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ Laptop GPU with up to a 150W maximum TGP.
Leave loading screens behind thanks to PCIe Gen4 solid state storage.
With DDR5 memory bringing more bandwidth than ever before, the SCAR is ready to leave the competition in the dust.
Top-tier components require power, especially when it comes to cutting-edge GPUs. NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3080 Ti Laptop GPU is fully unleashed with a max TGP of 150W, thanks to the extra 25W available with Dynamic Boost.
Higher power limits unlock even more performance from these graphics cards, ensuring you have the absolute best gaming experience.
Modern gaming laptops route frames from the GPU through the CPU's integrated graphics before reaching the display.
This offers better battery life, but prevents your GPU from giving its absolute best performance.
Bring a MUX switch to all 2022 ROG laptops.
For competitive games, you can switch to a direct GPU mode that reduces latency and boosts performance by an average of 15%.
Powerful components require a robust cooling solution.
The SCAR moves heat out of the system quickly by using a liquid metal thermal compound on the CPU and four dedicated fan outlets.
ROG Intelligent Cooling™ allows critical components like the CPU and GPU to maintain higher boost frequencies for longer periods of time, keeping your framerate smooth and steady even during extended gaming sessions.
An ultra-high-performance thermal interface material, Conductonaut Extreme, can keep these components up to 14 °C cooler than traditional thermal pastes.
The SCAR keeps noise in check, too: in performance mode, the Strix SCAR does not exceed 40 dB of noise.
Cooling is one of the greatest challenges facing gaming laptops, and ROG is constantly pushing the envelope. This drive led to liquid metals, which are extremely effective at transferring thermal energy between surfaces like a processor die and heatsink.
Over a year of testing with various processors, ROG engineers observed reductions in temperatures up to 14°C with liquid metal, depending on the CPU. Lower temperatures help processors sustain higher clock speeds for longer and prevent fans from ramping up and making noise.
*Temperature improvements compared to regular thermal paste, as tested internally by ASUS. Thermal conductivity compared to industry standard.
Updated Arc Flow Fans™ feature curved blades specially shaped to maximize airflow with minimal noise. Laptop fan blades are typically the same thickness throughout, but our new design can get as thin as 0.1 mm at the base before expanding toward the tip.
By changing the thickness, you can reduce the turbulence caused by the fan blades speeding up the air with centrifugal force, making the whole thing quieter.
Enjoy truly silent cooling under light workloads with 0dB technology. In the silent operating mode, the cooling system switches off all fans during everyday tasks to dissipate heat passively.
This lets you concentrate on your work and immerse yourself in movies with less distraction. If CPU or GPU temperatures increase, the fans automatically switch on again. DESIGN
Customizable armor caps allow you to add extra flair to your machine. Choose from three bundled options in the box, or 3D-design your own with downloadable templates for a 100% unique design.
The semi-translucent palm rest gives you a sneak peek at the internals, and redesigned rubber feet help to eliminate vibrations for smooth, quiet gaming sessions.
With its colorful accents, the Strix SCAR has a sporty vibe that goes all the way through the chassis.
Add a pop of personality to your chassis with Customizable Armor Caps. Two additional color options come in the box and swap out effortlessly, letting you switch up your style anytime. For a fully customized touch, we also have a 3D printing template that DISPLAY
You can’t beat the enemy if you can’t see them coming.
The Strix SCAR has ultra fast panel options for every scenario, making sure you’ll never miss a moment. The 15.6” machine offers up to FHD 300Hz or QHD 240Hz.
With refresh rates that fast and response times of just 3ms, you can make pixel perfect decisions even in the most frenetic firefights. Each IPS panel also offers fantastic color, Dolby Vision HDR, and Adaptive-Sync for a stellar gaming and viewing experience. AUDIO
Dolby Atmos-powered speakers include two tweeters and two downward firing woofers to create an authentic soundstage for your games. Hi-Res audio ensures that you hear your music in its original quality.
Two Way AI Noise Cancelation processes both incoming and outgoing audio to filter any errant background noises, making sure that your calls, chats, and streams come through without distraction.
Our advanced Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation technology runs on the CPU, which frees up the GPU to hit higher FPS. It works with any input device and also with downstream connections, letting you remove noise from both your own mic input and from incoming feeds.
Noise-canceling settings can even be customized per program, filtering specific apps like voice chat without affecting game audio you want to remain untouched. CONTROL
Built to last, the Strix SCAR's keyboard switches are rated to last over 20 million presses. The WASD keys can rest easy, durable enough to stand the test of time. Per-key RGB lighting allows for unlimited flexibility via Aura Sync, including game-specific lighting layouts.
Taking inspiration from the best desktop keyboards, the function keys are spaced for fewer misses, and enlarged directional arrows are isolated for precise finger control. Five dedicated gaming hotkeys give quick access to features like volume, mic mute, and Armory Crate. BATTERY
The Strix SCAR is ready to go the distance. Featuring a 90Wh battery, the laptop can last for 10.5 hours of video playback before needing a recharge. For flexibility on the go, USB Type-C charging up to 100W is supported. When charging using the supplied 280-watt power adapter, the SCAR can recharge from zero to 50% in just 30 minutes. CONNECTIVITY
In modern multiplayer games, a stable internet connection is imperative. The SCAR is ready to join the fight with a dedicated RJ45 port supporting 2.5G LAN, as well as the latest WiFi 6E standard. Never lag out again. I/O PORT
The RJ45 is not the only port in this storm. The dedicated GPU hosts an HDMI 2.1 port for the latest TVs and monitors, increasing total bandwidth from 18 to 48Gbps, and supporting up to 4K 120Hz and 8K 60Hz content. Two USB Type-C ports allow for plenty of connectivity—one for DisplayPort and power delivery, and a second with Thunderbolt 4 support. SOFTWARE
When you want to tweak settings, monitor temperatures, or tinker with your laptop, Armoury Crate is your command center. Real time monitoring allows you to see what your GPU, CPU and memory are doing.
RGB can be adjusted on a game-by-game basis with Aura Sync. Fan and power profiles allow you to change the acoustics and thermal characteristics of the laptop on the fly. And exclusive game deals keep your library topped off at all times.
Armoury Crate also supports full customization of the dedicated hotkeys.
By default, they act as volume control, microphone mute, and a quick launch for Armoury Crate, but with a few adjustments, you can make them work for you.
Create a function key for quick toggle when needed, a macro for complicated button combinations, or even a quick launch button for the application of your choice. Make your machine uniquely yours.
ROG GameVisual software offers six expertly tuned graphic modes designed to optimize your visual experience for specific game genres.
