PERIOD. Tackle any enemy with an Intel Core i9-12950HX processor, paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU with up to an amazing 175W max TGP. Leave loading screens behind thanks to PCIe Gen4x4 solid state storage in a RAID 0 array. 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 CPU Power through any game or project with an Intel Core i9-12950HX processor with up to 65W TDP and a hybrid architecture built from the ground up for Windows 11. With up to 8 Performance cores and 8 Efficiency cores, AAA gaming and streaming is effortless. GPU Power Unleashed Top-tier components require power, especially when it comes to maximizing your GPU’s performance. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU is fully unleashed with a max TGP of 175W, thanks to the extra 25W available with Dynamic Boost. Higher power limits enable the card to boost higher for longer, squeezing the absolute most performance out of your machine and ensuring you have highest framerates possible. Modern gaming laptops route frames from the GPU through the CPU's integrated graphics before reaching the display. This provides better battery life, but prevents your GPU from giving its absolute best performance. For competitive games, you can switch to a direct GPU mode that decreases latency and boosts performance by an average of 5-10%. 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 offer high performance in thin form factors. This ultra fast memory makes all aspects of the laptop feel snappy, from intense gaming to light web browsing. Better. Faster. Stronger. Take on even the largest projects with confidence and a PCIE Gen4 SSD configured in RAID 0. With raw throughput up to 7000MB/s, massive files and large games will load in the blink of an eye. ROG Intelligent Cooling Powerful components require a robust cooling solution. The 2022 ROG SCAR 17 SE uses Thermal Grizzly’s Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on both the CPU and GPU. An ultra-high performance thermal interface material, Conductonaut Extreme can keep these components up to 15°C Ccooler than standard 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 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 SCAR 17 SE keeps noise in check, too: when in Performance mode, the Strix SCAR does not exceed 40 dB. Beat the heat Heat dissipation is quicker and more efficient with our vapor chamber design, which vastly increases surface area compared to traditional heatpipe systems. Unlike conventional heat pipes that only transfer heat along their axis, vapor chamber designs spread heat across their entire surface, enabling the vapor chamber to rapidly absorb and dissipate waste heat without adding extra bulk to the machine. This efficient heat transfer also keeps the surface of the laptop cooler, keeping your hands comfortable for the entire game. Unleash the Grizzly Cooling is one of the greatest challenges facing gaming laptops, and ROG is constantly pushing the envelope. This drive led to liquid metal, which is extremely effective at transferring thermal energy between surfaces like a processor die and heatsink. The SCAR 17 SE takes this evolution one step further, with the use of Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal applied to both the CPU and GPU. This ultra-high performance thermal interface material can decrease temperatures by up to a staggering 15°C compared to traditional thermal pastes. 0dB Ambient Cooling 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 allows you to concentrate on your work and immerse yourself in movies with less distraction. If CPU or GPU
