The 8th-Gen ROG Strix Scar Edition: Absolute Precision

The new ROG Strix Scar Edition is built for the next generation of gamers looking to take their game to the next level. It’s built for high frame rates in first-person shooter games, thanks to a powerful Intel Core i7 processor, GTX graphics, and a high refresh rate gaming display. The 8th-Generation Scar Edition brings several refinements to the series, including an AURA SYNC RGB keyboard and 12V fans for improved thermal performance.

High Refresh Rate Gaming Display: Built For Smoother Gameplay

A hallmark of the Strix Scar Edition Series is its high refresh rate displays (including both 120Hz and 144Hz variants). Higher refresh rate displays deliver a multitude more frames within the same amount of time compared to standard 60Hz displays. For many gamers, the difference of going from 60Hz to 120Hz is far more impactful than switching to a higher screen resolution. High refresh rates result in smoother playback, allowing you to gain a competitive advantage in fast-paced FPS games.

8th-Generation Intel Core Processors

Enjoy a vast leap in gaming and productivity performance with Intel’s first mobile Core i7 processor with 6 cores and 12 threads. This gives you a boost in performance over previous generation quad-core processors by 23%.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10-Series

The latest NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10-Series graphics architecture offers the highest possible gaming performance, new gaming technologies, and unmatched VR experiences.

Thermal: Stay Cool Under Fire

Strix SCAR Edition has a specially-designed cooling system that improves airflow and system durability to keep you going during intense gaming sessions. The intelligent thermal design employs three fans that automatically adjust themselves to optimize CPU, GPU, and VRAM performance. Intake vents situated above the keyboard and underside of the chassis improve airflow into the system; while the patented trapezoid-cut lid design* doesn’t interfere with the air tunnels and hot exhaust at the rear of the laptop. The patented Anti-Dust Cooling system expels dust particles and dirt to improve system reliability and durability. In addition, the two main fans have been upgraded to 12V and spin much faster than regular 5V fans, boosting airflow and increasing air pressure to improve cooling efficiency — so you’ll keep a cool head even under fire!

Gaming-Grade RGB Keyboard

Ergonomic and Durable, The Strix SCAR Edition’s ergonomic gaming keyboard is built to withstand the action, with 20-million keystroke durability and N-Key Rollover. Its 1.8mm key travel distance provides a tactile feeling for precise control.

Aura Sync For Ultimate Personalization

Aura Sync technology gives you the freedom to customize and sync up light effects with Aura Sync-supported gaming mice, headsets, and other peripherals to give your entire gaming setup a consistent look and feel. With a full spectrum of colors to choose from, as well as seven different lighting modes that can be accessed via the Aura control panel, Aura Sync technology lets you express your gaming persona or the feel of the game you’re currently playing.

Incredible Speakers

Strix SCAR Edition delivers clearer, louder, and more accurate audio so every action sounds real, all powerfully delivered through two expansive side-firing speakers which provide surround audio effects so you’ll know where an enemy is approaching from. With this immersive stereo audio, even the quietest sounds can be heard, so you’ll pick up on every hidden movement. Smart-amplifier technology monitors the audio output and makes real-time adjustments, so you can pump up the volume without worrying about damaging the cones — and that makes output up to 200% louder than before, with increased dynamic range and bass. Sonic Studio III provides high-quality in-game audio, as well as improved streaming and audio recording for perfect voice pickup and noise reduction. Every little advantage aids your march to victory — and Strix SCAR Edition ensures you hear every precise audio cue!

Design: For Top FPS Marksmen

Taking both its name and design inspiration from the FN SCAR assault rifle, Strix SCAR Edition is designed for top marksmen. Like its namesake, Strix SCAR Edition pairs agility with performance, packing all its lethal firepower into a compact chassis with a thin 2.4cm profile, and an overall weight of as alow as 2.6kg! And it looks the part, too — its Gunmetal Grey finish mirrors that of the deadly weapon. * Specifications may vary according to a configuration.

Maximum Bandwidth, Minimum Energy Consumption

Strix SCAR Edition features the latest 802.11ac 2x2 Wave 2 Wi-Fi standard, with two antennas each for both transmission and reception, for speeds that are up to 1.7Gbps. That’s 2x faster than 802.11ac 2x2 and 12x faster than 802.11b/g/n! The 2x2 wireless configuration provides up to 30% more coverage than the 1x1 configuration. A more reliable and robust wireless connection ensures better gaming experiences. ROG First also ensures ROG routers and ASUS RT-series routers prioritize packets according to the GameFirst V settings in your ROG laptop for faster, more stable connections. Strix SCAR Edition even has low-energy Bluetooth 4.1, enabling you to game longer and more reliably with your Bluetooth peripherals! ( Specifications may vary according to configuration.)
