ROG STRIX SCAR 15 BEAT THE BEST. BE THE BEST. Tackle any enemy with an Intel Core i9-12900H CPU, paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX Laptop GPU with up to a 150W max TGP. Leave loading screens behind thanks to PCIe Gen4 solid state storage. With DDR5 memory bringing more bandwidth than ever before, the SCAR is prepared to leave the competition in the dust. 12th Gen Intel Core i9 CPUs Power through any game or project with up to an Intel Core i9-12900H CPU, with a hybrid architecture built from the ground up for Windows 11. With up to 6 performance cores and 8 efficiency cores, AAA gaming and streaming is effortless. This ultra fast memory makes all aspects of the laptop feel snappy, from intense gaming to light web browsing. GEFORCE RTX THE ULTIMATE PLAY BOOST PERFORMANCE WITH AI NVIDIA DLSS offers games a speed boost with uncompromised image quality. Crank up the settings and resolution for an even better visual experience. MORE IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES Ray Tracing is the holy grail of graphics. It simulates how light behaves in the real-world to create the most realistic and immersive graphics for gamers and creators - and runs fast thanks to 2nd gen RT Cores. OPTIMIZED POWER AND PERFORMANCE NVIDIA Max-Q is a suite of technologies powered by AI that optimize laptops to provide high performance in thin form factors. ROG Intelligent Cooling Powerful components require a robust cooling solution. The SCAR uses liquid metal thermal compound on the CPU and four dedicated fan outlets to efficiently transfer heat out of the system. ROG Intelligent Cooling enables 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. The 2022 Strix SCAR also upgraded to Thermal Grizzly's Conductonaut Extreme Liquid Metal on the CPU. An ultra-high performance thermal interface material, Conductonaut Extreme can keep these components up to 15oC cooler than standard thermal pastes. The SCAR keeps noise in check, too: when in Performance mode, the Strix SCAR does not exceed 40 dB of noise. Liquid Metal with Conductonaut Extreme 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 15oC with liquid metal, depending on the CPU. Lower temperatures help processors sustain higher clock speeds for longer and stop 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. Upgraded Arc Flow Fans 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 0.1mm at the base before expanding toward the tip. Varying the thickness minimizes turbulence as the fan blades accelerate air with centrifugal force, giving you a quieter overall experience. CUSTOMIZE YOUR LOOK Customizable Armor Caps allow you to add extra flair to your machine. Select from three bundled options in the box, or 3D 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. Coupled with colorful accents, the sporty feel of the Strix SCAR resonates across the entire chassis. CHANGE UP YOUR LOOK Add a pop of personality to your chassis with Customizable Armor Caps. Two extra color options come in the box and swap out effortlessly, letting you switch up your style anytime. The Strix SCAR has
