ASUS ROG Strix Scar 16 (2024), Intel Core i9 14900HX 14th Gen, 16"(40.64cm) 2.5K QHD+240Hz, Gaming Laptop (32GB DDR5/2TB SSD/12GB RTX 4080/Win11/Per-Key RGB/90WHr/Black/2.65Kg),G634JZR-CM932WS

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 Home. 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.

Top-tier components require power, especially when it comes to maximizing your GPU’s performance. The NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4080 Laptop GPU is fully unleashed with a max TGP of 175W, thanks to the extra 25W available with Dynamic Boost.

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.

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. *On select units. Certain units may only be capable of 5200MHz. For more information about memory speeds, please visit the Intel® support page.

Take on even the largest projects with confidence thanks to a PCIE Gen4 SSD configured in RAID 0. With raw throughput up to 7000MB/s, massive files and detailed game worlds will load in the blink of an eye.

Hot air needs somewhere to go, so we redesigned the Strix SCAR 16’s exhaust vents to give it the best flow possible. In addition to making the entire rear of the machine an exhaust vent, the Strix SCAR 16 retains its side vents, giving it ample opportunity to move hot air out of the system. We even moved the heatsinks closer to the vents themselves, giving hot air a straight-line path out of the machine and avoid any recirculation.

At the heart of every great laptop is a great cooling solution. Our cutting-edge Tri-Fan Technology directs air though precisely calculated cutouts in the chassis, sending airflow directly towards internal components to keep them cool in all conditions. A third auxiliary fan sends additional heat from the GPU and VRAM directly to the heatsinks, keeping the machine cool during long video renders or gaming sessions.

The Strix SCAR 16 features Thermal Grizzly’s cutting-edge Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal, which improves heat transfer from the CPU and GPU. Compared to traditional thermal pastes, this indium- and gallium-based compound offers 17X higher conductivity, in addition to CPU and GPU temperature reductions of up to 15 degrees. Used exclusively by ROG, this material offers the highest thermal transfer available on a laptop.
