Optimised Power And Performance
NVIDIA Max-Q is an advanced suite of AI-powered technologies that optimise your system for peak efficiency. This enables blazing-fast laptops that are thin, quiet, and have amazing battery life.
Peerless Performance
3D V-Cache technology is available for the very first time in a laptop. The Ryzen 9™ 7945HX3D offers double the L3 cache of its non-X3D equipped predecessor, leading to incredible performance gains in gaming on the same process node. Powered by NVIDIA DLSS 3, ultra-efficient Ada Lovelace arch, Max-Q Technologies, the NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4090 Laptop GPU is fully unleashed with a max TGP of 175W on Strix SCAR 17 X3D. Higher power limits unlock even more performance from this cutting-edge silicon, ensuring you have the absolute best gaming experience.
ROG Intelligent Cooling™
Powerful components require a robust cooling solution. The 2023 ROG SCAR 17 X3D utilises Thermal Grizzly’s Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on the GPU. An ultra-high performance thermal interface material, Conductonaut Extreme can keep these components up to 15°C cooler than traditional thermal pastes. When paired with a custom vapor chamber and four dedicated exhaust vents, this thermal solution transfers heat out of the system incredibly efficiently. ROG’s Intelligent Cooling™ technology allows critical components like the CPU and GPU to maintain higher boost frequencies for longer periods of time, keeping your framerates smooth and steady even during extended gaming sessions. The SCAR 17 X3D keeps noise in check, too: when in Performance mode, the machine does not exceed 40 dB.
Lightning Fast, Crystal Clear
You can’t beat the enemy if you don’t see them coming. The Strix SCAR 17 X3D has ultra-fast panel options for every scenario, making sure you’ll never miss a moment. This 17-inch machine offers a QHD 240Hz panel. With refresh rates that fast and response times as low as 3ms, you can make pixel-perfect decisions even in the most frenetic firefights. Each IPS panel offers fantastic colour, Dolby Vision HDR, and Adaptive-Sync for a stellar gaming and viewing experience.
Stealth mode
The stealthy Off Black colourway on the SCAR 17 X3D keeps your laptop’s true potential under wraps, while per-key RGB and a lightbar allow you to brighten up the mood at a moment’s notice.
Studio-quality Sound
Dolby Atmos-powered speakers create an authentic sound stage for your games. Hi-Res audio ensures you hear your music in the same quality it was recorded. 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.
Press the Attack
Built to last, the Strix SCAR 17 X3D’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.
All Day Endurance
The Strix SCAR 17 X3D is ready to go the distance. Featuring a 90Wh battery, the laptop can last for 8.5 hours of video playback before needing a recharge. For flexibility on the go, USB Type-C charging is supported up to 100W. When charging using the supplied 330W power adapter, the SCAR can recharge from zero to 50% in just 30 minutes.
Battlestation ready
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.
