Truly AMAZING and worth every penny. The 3080 runs any game, even MSFS seamless. High FPS and a life like experience. Price is a steal for this GPU and laptop! This is the PERFECT combo of specs!! The keypad took some getting used to (position different from my last laptop) but I have no other complaints. There was some screen bleeding on my unit, maybe pay for the best panel option if you think it will bother you, I only notice on my black desktop. Performs so well everyone I show wants one. The RAM and GPU combo is perfect and the 1TB is nice. I added a second 2TB inside without any trouble. The lighting is so nice and even can make it all sync with my Hue lights in my home. If you are not sure, BUY IT! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

Asus' decision to use the AMD processor with graphics diminished the quality that this laptop could have. Since Asus offers the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, which is far superior to AMD's graphics processor, as an upgrade for this computer, they should have opted to use it and not the AMD processor for this unit.

I bought this laptop a couple weeks ago and am very happy with it. Doesn't get very warm like some gaming laptops and fan noise is surprisingly quiet for having Nvidia RTX 3080 graphics card. I can play any game on it on ultra setting no problem. RGB lighting is cool too. Loving it!

I bought this a few days ago and am absolutely blown away. The build quality is great. The rgb lighting - a first for me - is just awesome. I am getting a 90-day warranty extension by doing a review. However, that doesn?t take anything away from this laptop. It is amazing so far. I have run Microsoft flight simulator on full ultra and it runs smooth like butter. I have the QHD and 5900hx with an rtx 3080. I had never owned an Asus laptop, but am really in awe of it. I have already recommended one to my brother who is looking for a laptop.

The laptop is great so far, only thing I did was to add another 1TB NVMe drive as I like to keep the games installed instead of downloading them when I play them. The keyboard is really nice, I'm really enjoying it and the display is simply gorgeous. I didn't notice any major backlight bleeding and the colors and clarity is great. Performance wise I didn't do any benchmarks, but both for day to day usage and gaming is performing the way I expected, everything at Max and QHD resolution running smoothly so far. The transparent plastic on the right side give it a charm where you can see the internals, but for some that is a downside as it is mostly plastic. For my usage I don't care about the WebCam and I plan to use a monitor later on which will counter the lack of MUX switch. The only thing I would like for it to have is for the display to lean 180 degrees as that would make it easier to integrate in my desktop. It's angle is limited to something like 120 degrees Thermals are ok as well

ROG Intelligent Cooling
Powerful components require a robust cooling solution. The SCAR utilizes liquid metal thermal compound on the CPU and four dedicated fan outlets to efficiently transfer heat out of the system. ROG Intelligent Cooling allows 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 15 Degree C cooler than traditional 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 15 Degree C with liquid metal, depending on the CPU. Lower temperatures help processors sustain higher clock speeds for longer and prevent fans from ramping up and making noise.
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 reduces turbulence as the fan blades accelerate air with centrifugal force, giving you a quieter overall experience.
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 lets you concentrate on your work and immerse yourself in movies with less distraction. If CPU or GPU temperatures increase, the fans automatically switch on again.
0.1mm Ultra Thin Fin
Thermal energy is dissipated by four heatsinks, each lined with ultrathin copper fins as slim as 0.1mm. These fins are half the size of typical solutions, allowing for higher density for heat dissipation and lower air resistance to allow for smoother flow. There are up to 218 heatsink fins totaling 107,131mm of surface area.
Anti-Dust Tunnels
Our upgraded thermal module design features shorter anti-dust tunnels that leave up to 5% more space around the fan, improving airflow by up to 15%. Preventing the buildup of dust ensures the long-term stability and reliability of your system.
3D Flow Zone gives access to fresh air
Ample airflow is a fundamental aspect of effective cooling. To amp up cool air intake for the Strix SCAR, its hinges are shifted forward in front of a heavily ventilated 3D Flow Zone. A trapezoidal cut carves out the bottom of the screen to ensure that the venting below is unobstructed, while giving the laptop its signature asymmetrical style.
CoolZone keyboard keeps you frosty
Extended gaming sessions can heat up internal components and make the keyboard above warm to the touch. To keep your fingers cool, small vents around the WASD keys let the fans draw cool air into the chassis from above.
Up to 6 comprehensive heatpipes have you covered
The comprehensive thermal design includes an extended heat spreader that absorbs heat from the CPU, GPU, VRAM, and VRM. It combines with up to 6 heat pipes that cover the same components. This extensive thermal coverage helps sustain and extend the overall performance, reliability, and lifespan of the system.
Scenario Profiles
Our Silent, Performance, and Turbo modes are just the beginning. Scenario Profiles allow your system to automatically switch between them based on the application you're running, alongside other vital system settings. Switch between lighting configurations automatically, disable the Windows key and touchpad during games, and automate to your heart's content. Armoury Crate makes adjustments in an instant to best fit the task at hand.
Design
Customize Your Look
Customizable Armor Caps allow you to add extra flair to your machine. Choose 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 additional color options come in the box and swap out effortlessly, letting you switch up your style anytime. For a fully customized touch, we also have a 3D printing template that makes it easy to create original looks of your own.
Stun at Every Angle
Thoughtful details set this laptop apart from the competition. Our 360 Degree design philosophy puts subtle but distinctive elements across every part of the machine. The dot matrix design splashed across the lid cuts down to meet cross-hatched vents beneath the base. An expansive rubberized grip holds the laptop firmly in place and makes it easier to carry. Typographic elements around the trim subtly show off your ROG pride.
Display
Lightning Fast, Crystal Clear
You can't beat the enemy if you can't see them coming. The Strix SCAR has ultra fast panel options for every scenario, making sure you'll never miss a moment. The 17" machine offers up to FHD 360Hz. With refresh rates that fast and response times of just 3ms, you can make pixel perfect decisions even in the most frenetic firefights. Each IPS panel also offers fantastic color, Dolby Vision HDR, and Adaptive-Sync for a stellar gaming and viewing experience.
