Power; meet efficiency
Power through any game or project with an Intel Core i9 Processor 14900HX; featuring up to a 65W TDP and a hybrid architecture built from the ground up for Windows 11 Pro. With up to 8 Performance-cores and 16 Efficient-cores and Intel's latest Application Optimization technology increasing frames rates to up to 40% in supported titles; AAA gaming is flawless and streaming is effortless.
Graphics Unleashed
Top-tier components require power; especially when it comes to maximizing your GPU's performance. Powered by NVIDIA DLSS 3; ultra-efficient Ada Lovelace arch; and Max-Q Technologies; the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series Laptop GPU is fully unleashed with a max TGP up to 175W with Dynamic Boost.
NVIDIA Advanced Optimus
With NVIDIA Advanced Optimus; the laptop can automatically route frames from the discrete GPU directly to the display using a MUX switch; bypassing the integrated graphics. This pathing improves performance 5-10% compared to machines without a MUX Switch; making sure you get the absolute best gaming experience-all without needing touch a single button. This automatic switching also preserves your machine's battery life; as it can dynamically transition between the high power discrete GPU and the lower power integrated GPU. No matter what you're doing; your machine will switch to the most optimized mode without you having to lift a finger.
Blazing Fast DDR5 Memory
The Strix SCAR 16 leverages cutting-edge DDR5 5600MHz memory modules with 17% faster speeds than the 4800MHz kits. This ultra-fast memory makes all aspects of the laptop feel snappy; from intense gaming to light web browsing.

Cooling
To accommodate such powerful components; the Strix SCAR 16's chassis and motherboard were both designed to accommodate our high-performance full-width heatsink; with the copper fins even closer to the exhaust vents for more efficient cooling. This unique heatsink is built from three different sections; surrounding the motherboard with densely packed fins for a total surface area of 174;183mm. This design maximizes the available pathing for hot air to escape the machine and drastically increases overall cooling.
Finally; most gaming laptops have a dual fan cooling system; but the SCAR 16 was able to push the performance envelope even further with the introduction of a third fan that helps keep the GPU and VRAM cool. Paired with seven heatpipes and Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on both the CPU and GPU; the SCAR 16's cooling system is a marvel of engineering.
ROG Nebula HDR
For gamers who demand the absolute best motion and image clarity; the Strix SCAR 16 offers an incredible Nebula HDR Display with a 240Hz refresh rate; 100% DCI-P3 coverage; and a staggering 1100 nits of peak brightness for stunning HDR gameplay. The 16-inch; 16:10 aspect ratio Mini LED panel boasts over 2000 discrete dimming zones; capable of displaying incredibly deep blacks for content that jumps right off the screen; whether you're watching a movie or playing a fast-moving arena shooter. The SCAR 16 can also be equipped with a 2.5K 240Hz Nebula Display; offering fantastic color; Dolby Vision; Adaptive-Sync support; and an 90% screen-to-body ratio for a stellar gaming and viewing experience.

These ROG exclusive design features not only give you a competitive advantage; but they make sure you never blend in with the crowd.
Press the Attack
The difference between victory and defeat can be separated by a single keystroke; so the SCAR 16 has a professional esports grade keyboard designed to secure the win. Built to last; the Strix SCAR 16's keyboard switches are rated to last over 20 million presses; and n-key rollover guarantees your system will never miss command even if you're pressing multiple keys at once.

Large touch pad
The Strix SCAR 16's large touchpad also comes with a glass coating for effortless scrolling and a premium feel.
