The Strix SCAR and Strix G will be back with all-new hardware in 2022, according to ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG). New Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA components, as well as DDR5 memory, have been added to these two gaming laptops.
The ROG Strix SCAR is poised to take the gaming world by storm with Windows 11. This system is designed to keep gamers on top of the leaderboard with an Intel Core i9-12900H CPU and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX Laptop GPU with a maximum TGP of 150 W. Even during intense activities, the computer feels quick and snappy thanks to 4800 MHz DDR5 RAM and a PCIe® Gen 4 4 SSD.
By creating a more efficient connection from the GPU to the display, a dedicated MUX Switch helps to reduce latency and improve performance when gaming. The Direct GPU mode on the 2022 Strix SCAR improves performance by 15% on average, with up to 43% in some games. When battery life is critical, gamers can switch the laptop back to a hybrid mode.
For comparably high-end performance, the Strix G15 and G17 are equipped with up to an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX processor and a 150 W NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU with Dynamic Boost. ROG's Intelligent Cooling suite of upgrades has been upgraded even more for powerful components that require powerful cooling.
In order to increase heat transmission, the Strix SCAR and Strix G both employ liquid metal on the CPU, but the Strix SCAR has been modified to incorporate Thermal Grizzly's latest and finest Conductonaut Extreme technology. When compared to standard thermal pastes, this high-end thermal compound lowers temperatures by up to 15° C, allowing for longer boost times and a slower ramp-up of the fans, resulting in lower noise levels.
On all 2022 Strix laptops, the 84-blade Arc Flow Fans include variable-thickness blades that optimize airflow while decreasing turbulence and noise. Anti-dust tunnels discharge dust from the system to minimize accumulation over time, and up to four exhaust vents provide for ample of air. And ROG’s 0 dB Ambient Cooling turns the fans off entirely during light workloads in Silent mode, for a truly noiseless experience.
The Strix SCAR 17 has a screen with a blistering 360 Hz refresh rate, which is faster than even most competitive desktop gaming monitors, and a 3 ms reaction time, which is quicker than even most competitive desktop gaming monitors. This amazing IPS display's specifications include Dolby Vision HDR and Adaptive-Sync. The SCAR has gone from a 165 Hz to a 240 Hz refresh rate at QHD resolution, adding greater pixel clarity and a major generational jump. On the Strix G17, you may choose from a variety of high-resolution panel choices, including FHD 360 Hz and QHD 240 Hz, while on the Strix G15, you can choose between FHD 300 Hz and 165 Hz.
In addition, all ROG Strix laptops in 2022 will feature Dolby Atmos as well as Hi-Res audio for headphones, guaranteeing that gamers will be able to hear their music just as the creator intended. One of the USB Type-A ports has been upgraded to USB Type-C, guaranteeing that the port choices will be relevant for years to come in the future. For blazing-fast file transfer speeds across compatible devices, the 2022 Strix SCAR supports cutting-edge Thunderbolt 4.
With Aura Sync software, per-key RGB exposes millions of illumination configurations that can be linked to other ROG accessories. The SCAR is ready to help you create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece with Aura Creator or keep it simple with a preset lighting profile. Gamers may modify the aesthetic of this cutting-edge laptop by synchronizing the bezel glow beneath the display with ROG's "Fearless Eye" on the lid.
The management of lighting isn't the only thing that may be customized. The Strix SCAR's Armor Cap on the back is likewise detachable, and the machine comes in three different colors. Gamers may make their own design or download a custom model to 3D print to show off their uniqueness to the world.
The Strix G15 and G17 offer three distinct colour options: the subtle Eclipse Gray, the bold Volt Green, and Electro Punk. The G15 and G17 share the per-key RGB lighting with the Strix SCAR, which can be further customized via Aura Sync.
They will be available to purchase starting from March 2022.
