Take your gaming experience to the next level with the ROG Strix SCAR 16, the ultimate gaming laptop designed for gamers who want to beat the best and break all limits. With its 16-inch screen and powerful components, including a 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i9-13980HX Processor and NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4080 Laptop GPU with a max TGP of 175W, the SCAR 16 easily handles even the most demanding games. This laptop is perfect for gamers who want to see the enemy more clearly than ever before.
The ROG Strix SCAR 16 comes with an Intel® Core™ i9-13980HX processor, featuring up to a 65W TDP and a hybrid architecture built from the ground up for Windows 11. With up to 8 Performance cores and 16 Efficiency cores, AAA gaming is flawless and streaming is effortless. With support for up to 64GB of DDR5 RAM and up to 4TB of PCIe Gen4x4 storage, the SCAR 16 can easily game, stream, and create content all at the same time without breaking a sweat.
The ROG Strix SCAR 16 is powered by NVIDIA DLSS 3, ultra-efficient Ada Lovelace arch, and Max-Q Technologies, making the NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4080 Laptop GPU fully unleashed with a max TGP of 175W with Dynamic Boost. The laptop also features NVIDIA® Advanced Optimus, allowing the machine to automatically route frames from the discrete GPU directly to the display using a MUX switch, bypassing the integrated graphics, improving performance by 5-10% compared to machines without a MUX Switch.
The ROG Strix SCAR 16 leverages the brand new DDR5 standard, enjoying a huge generational performance jump to 4800Mhz, with write times 50% faster than DDR4 equipped machines. This ultra-fast memory makes all aspects of the laptop feel snappy, from intense gaming to light web browsing. With a PCIE Gen4 SSD configured in RAID 0, the laptop's raw throughput reaches up to 7000MB/s, allowing massive files and large games to load in the blink of an eye.
The ROG Strix SCAR 16 features an intelligent cooling system that includes a redesigned chassis and motherboard that accommodates a new full-width heatsink and copper fins, which were moved even closer to the exhaust vents for more efficient cooling. With three different sections surrounding the motherboard with densely packed fins for a total surface area of 174,183mm², a 62.59% increase from the 2022 Strix SCAR 15, this design maximizes the available pathing for hot air to escape the machine and drastically increases overall cooling. Finally, the ROG Strix SCAR 16 features a ROG Nebula HDR display, perfect for gamers who want to see all the action in stunning detail.
