The ROG Strix SCAR gaming laptops became a popular choice among Esports players ever since they were introduced three years ago. Every year, ROG improves their specs to make their laptops faster to keep up with the gamer’s aggressive style of play. Today, ASUS announced the new ROG Strix SCAR 17 G732 gaming laptop with an ultrafast display of 300Hz refresh rate with 3 ms response time and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER GPU that represents the pinnacle of professional esports performance.
Speed and agility are crucial stats in the world of esports, where razor-thin margins make the difference between victory and defeat. Staying competitive at the highest levels demands a gaming machine that can keep up with the action. The ROG Strix SCAR 17 is packed with power to pump out enough frames to saturate an expansive 17.3-inch display with the smooth graphics required for competitive play.
High refresh rate monitors have become the standard in the gaming laptop industry. ASUS ROG has been at the forefront of high-refresh rate displays since 2016, and this year’s new Strix SCAR laptops follow the trend featuring up to 300Hz/3ms FHD-panels (all scar models with at least RTX 2070 and up.) The Strix SCAR 17 lets gamers play action-packed battles more smoothly than ever before. Seeing more frames with shorter delays between them can give players the millisecond difference they need to win tournaments.
A quick 3 ms grey-to-grey response time minimizes motion blur for precise target tracking. The cutting-edge display is also framed by super-narrow bezels that make the 17.3-inch screen seem even larger, for a more immersive view. With a screen-to-body ratio of 81.5%, players get an impressive view of the battlefield in a device with a surprisingly small footprint.
Another advantage of the ROG Strix SCAR 17 is the source of its power. It is equipped with the latest 10th Gen Intel Core i9-10980-HK which can take on any tasks at hand. It also comes with high-performance RAM that’s faster than the stock 2933 Hz memory speed for 10th Generation CPUs, making it even more responsive. This will let SCAR 17 users go into multiplayer mode, stream, chat and other things he wants to do simultaneously.
The SCAR 17 features unique cooling features that enable peak power from its high-end GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER GPU. Compared to previous Strix models, it has four heatsinks making a total of 284 heatsink fins that raise the total surface area for thermal dissipation to 178,125 mm. The chassis also gets 1.4 mm of additional height to accommodate the more robust cooling module. Exotic liquid metal thermal compound is painted onto the CPU of every ROG gaming laptop with a 10th Generation Intel Core processor. Liquid metal excels at transferring thermal energy from the CPU to heatsink, but it’s electrically conductive and more fluid than standard thermal paste. Applying it is delicate work typically done by hand to keep the compound from touching other components. That’s not feasible for mass production, so ROG commissioned custom equipment to automate the process with mechanical precision.
Evoking a deeper physical connection with the machine was a key theme of the BMW Designworks Group collaboration. The SCAR 17 channels this concept in the new ROG Keystone II which allows users to link quick commands and other functions to a physical, NFC-enabled key that docks into the side of the chassis.
Aura Sync accents add RGB shine to ROG Strix SCAR 17. A wraparound light bar glows under the front and side edges, complementing the backlit ROG logo on the lid. Users can coordinate colors and effects across an entire ecosystem of Aura Sync devices to set up the perfect mood lighting.
