Introducing the ROG Strix SCAR 16
Dominate your games with the flagship pairing of an Intel® Core™ i9-13980HX processor and an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4080 Laptop GPU, as well as a dedicated MUX Switch and NVIDIA Advanced Optimus. With a new 16- inch screen, an ROG Nebula HDR Display for the first time, and full-surround vents with Tri-Fan Technology, the 2023 ROG Strix SCAR 16 are here to take the gaming world by storm.
The pinnacle of performance
Dominate the Windows 11 battlefield with the all-new ROG Strix SCAR 16.?Introducing a 16-inch screen to the SCAR lineup for the first time, see the enemy more clearly than ever before. Powered by a 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i9-13980HX processor and NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4080 Laptop GPU, the SCAR easily handles even the most demanding games.
It also comes with a dedicated MUX Switch with support for NVIDIA Advanced Optimus, enabling you to easily harness the true power of your GPU when gaming. With support for 32GB of DDR5 RAM and 2TB of PCIe Gen4x4 storage, the SCAR can easily game, stream, and create content all at the same time without breaking a sweat. For the ultimate gaming laptop, look no further than the Strix SCAR 16..
ROG Intelligent Cooling
To accommodate such powerful components, the Strix SCAR's chassis and motherboard were both redesigned to accommodate our new full-width heatsink, while the copper fins were moved 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 174,183-195,509mm², up to 82.5% increase from the 2022 Strix SCAR series. 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 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's cooling system is a marvel of engineering.
ROG Nebula HDR Display
For gamers who demand the absolute best motion and image clarity, the 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 provides 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 QHD+ 240Hz Nebula HDR Display, offering fantastic colour, Dolby Vision, Adaptive-Sync support, and an 89% screen-to-body ratio for a stellar gaming and viewing experience.
Designed to win. Built for victory.
The Republic of Gamers was built by those who love to play video games. All ROG designs come with gamers in mind, from the chassis, lighting integration, software controls, and macro functions. 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 has a professional esports-grade keyboard designed to secure the win. Built to last, the Strix SCAR'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.
The SCAR has a full-sized keyboard, with dedicated media controls and dedicated hotkeys that are tuned for volume and Armoury Crate controls by default and can be customized for different functions or macros. And with per-key RGB and full Aura Sync customization, the SCAR will always have the looks to match your mood.
Studio-quality Sound
Dolby Atmos-powered speakers include two tweeters and two downward firing woofers to create an authentic sound stage for your games. Hi-Res audio ensures you hear your music in the same quality it was recorded. Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation processes both incoming and outgoing audio to filter any errant background noises, making sure that your calls, chats and streams come through without distraction..
All Day Endurance
The Strix SCAR is ready to go the distance. Featuring a 90Wh battery, the laptop can easily browse the web for hours away from the wall before needing a recharge. For flexibility on the go, USB Type-C charging is supported up to 100W. When charging using the supplied 330W power adapter, the SCAR can recharge from zero to 50% in just 30 minutes.
Stay Connected
When you need to plug into the big screen, the dedicated GPU powers an HDMI 2.1 port for the latest TVs and monitors, increasing total bandwidth from 18 to 48Gbps, and supporting up to 4K 120Hz and 8K 60Hz content.? Two USB Type-C ports allow for plenty of connectivity-one for DisplayPort and power delivery, and a second with Thunderbolt 4 support.
