PEERLESS PERFORMANCE
Draw more frames and win more games with the gaming horsepower of the 2023 ROG Strix SCAR 17 with Windows 11. Tackle any enemy with an AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX processor, paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU powered by an incredible 175W max TGP. A dedicated MUX Switch with NVIDIA Optimus support allows the SCAR 17 to intelligently prioritize gaming performance or battery life automatically. Leave loading screens behind thanks to PCIe Gen4x4 solid state storage. With DDR5 memory bringing more bandwidth to the table than ever before, the SCAR 17 is ready to leave the competition in the dust.
Ryzen to the Challenge
Power through any game or project with an AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX processor, featuring up to a 65W TDP. Bringing 16 cores and 32 threads to a laptop form factor, this processor is here to help you dominate all of your games, no matter what you have running in the background.
GPU Power Unleashed
Powered by NVIDIA DLSS 3, ultra-efficient Ada Lovelace arch, Max-Q Technologies, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU is fully unleashed with a max TGP of 175W on Strix SCAR 17. Higher power limits unlock even more performance from this cutting-edge silicon, making sure you have the absolute best gaming experience.
NVIDIA Advanced Optimus
With NVIDIA Advanced Optimus, the laptop can automatically route frames from the discrete GPU directly to the display utilizing 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.

ROG Intelligent Cooling
Powerful components require a robust cooling solution. The 2023 ROG SCAR 17 uses Thermal Grizzly’s Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on both CPU and GPU. An ultra-high performance thermal interface material, Conductonaut Extreme can keep these components up to 15°C cooler than traditional thermal pastes. When paired with a custom vapor chamber and four dedicated exhaust vents, this thermal solution transfers heat out of the system incredibly efficiently. ROG’s Intelligent Cooling technology enables critical components like the CPU and GPU to maintain higher boost frequencies for longer periods of time, keeping your framerates smooth and steady even during extended gaming sessions. The SCAR 17 keeps noise in check, too: when in Performance mode, the machine does not exceed 40 dB.
Beat the heat
Heat dissipation is quicker and more efficient with our vapor chamber design, which vastly increases surface area compared to traditional heatpipe systems. Unlike conventional heat pipes that only transfer heat along their axis, vapor chamber designs spread heat across their entire surface, rapidly absorbing and dissipating waste heat without adding extra bulk to the machine. This efficient transfer also keeps the surface of the laptop cooler, keeping your hands comfortable for the entire game.
Unleash the Grizzly
The 2023 Strix SCAR 17 features Thermal Grizzly’s cutting-edge Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on both 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 provides the highest thermal transfer available on a laptop.
ENDLESS CUSTOMIZATION
When you want to tweak settings, monitor temperatures, or tinker with your laptop, Armoury Crate is your command center. Real-time monitoring enables you to see what your GPU, CPU and memory are doing. RGB can be adjusted on a game-by-game basis with Aura Sync. Fan and power profiles allow you to change the acoustics, power delivery, and thermal characteristics of the laptop on the fly. And exclusive game deals keep your library topped off at all times.
LIGHTNING FAST, CRYSTAL CLEAR
You can’t beat the enemy if you don’t see them coming. The Strix SCAR 17 has ultra-fast panel options for every scenario, ensuring you’ll never miss a moment. This 17-inch machine offers either a QHD 240Hz panel. With refresh rates that fast and response times as low as 3ms, you can make pixel-perfect decisions even in the most frenetic firefights. Each IPS panel provides fantastic colour, Dolby Vision HDR, and Adaptive-Sync for a stellar gaming and viewing experience.
STUDIO-QUALITY SOUND
Dolby Atmos-powered speakers 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, ensuring that your calls, chats and streams come through without distraction.
TWO-WAY AI NOISE CANCELATION
Our advanced Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation technology runs on the CPU, which frees up the GPU to hit higher FPS. It works with any input device and also with downstream connections, allowing you to remove noise from both your own mic input and from incoming feeds. Noise-canceling settings can even be customized per program, filtering specific apps like voice chat without affecting game audio you want to remain untouched.
PRESS THE ATTACK
Built to last, the Strix SCAR's keyboard switches are rated to last over 20 million presses. The WASD keys can rest easy, durable enough to stand the test of time. Per-key RGB lighting enables for unlimited flexibility via Aura Sync, including game specific lighting layouts.
ALL DAY ENDURANCE
The Strix SCAR 17 is prepared to go the distance featuring a 90Wh battery. 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
In modern multiplayer games, a stable internet connection is imperative. The SCAR 17 is ready to join the fight with a dedicated RJ45 port supporting 2.5G LAN, as well as the latest Wi-Fi 6E wireless standard. For local connections, the SCAR 17 supports Bluetooth 5.2, allowing seamless pairing with all of your peripherals. Never lag out again.
BATTLESTATION READY
The RJ45 is not the only port in this storm. The dedicated GPU hosts 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 with DisplayPort and power delivery.
