Top Of The Line Laptop Graphics Unleashed!
The NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4090 Laptop GPU is fully unleashed and powered by NVIDIA DLSS 3, the ultra-efficient Ada Lovelace Arch, and Max-Q Technologies. Top-tier GPUs require power, especially when it comes to maximizing your GPU’s performance. Enjoy your Marathon Gaming Sessions enjoying the power of NVIDIA DLSS 3, G-Sync™ Adaptive Sync, ultra-efficient Ada Lovelace arch, and Max-Q Technologies, with a max TGP up to 175W with Dynamic Boost!
NVIDIA Advanced Optimus Technology
With NVIDIA Advanced Optimus, the laptop can automatically route frames from the discrete GPU directly to the display using 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.
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 in real time, without you lifting a finger.

ROG INTELLIGENT COOLING
To accommodate such powerful components, this Strix SCAR 18’s Chassis and Motherboard were both redesigned to accommodate ASUS's 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 in three different sections, surrounding the motherboard with densely packed fins for a total surface area of 195,509mm2, a whopping 82.5% increase from the 2022 Strix SCAR 17. This new enhanced design maximizes the available pathing for hot air to escape the machine and drastically increases overall cooling dramtically in your favor.
Finally, most gaming laptops only have a traditional dual fan cooling system, but the SCAR 18 pushes the performance envelope even further with the introduction of a third fan that helps keep both the GPU and VRAM cooler. Paired with seven heatpipes and Conductonaut Extreme Liquid Metal Cooling Compound on both the CPU and GPU, the SCAR 18’s cooling system is a marvel of engineering.
Display
Designed for Gamers and Creators who demand the absolute best motion and image clarity, this SCAR 18 offers an incredible Nebula display with 240Hz / 3ms, 100% DCI-P3 coverage, and a staggering 500 nits brightness for stunning gameplay. This 18-inch, 16:10 aspect ratio 2.5K (2,560 x 1,600) panel provides staggeringly deep blacks for content that jumps right off the screen, whether you’re watching a movie, beta testing code, or playing a fast-moving arena shooter.

RGB Gaming Keyboard
Press the Attack
The difference between victory and defeat can be separated by a single keystroke, so the SCAR 18 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.
This SCAR 18 has a full-sized 104 Key Keyboard, with dedicated media controls and dedicated hotkeys that are tuned for Volume and Armoury Crate controls by default, but can be customized for different functions or macros. And with per key RGB and full Aura Sync Colour 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.
Dolby Atmos with Quad Speakers
This 2.2 Channel Audio Speaker system uses 2 Tweeters and 2 down-facing Woofers powered by Smart Amp to offer richer sound with 2.8x more volume, 3x more powerful bass, and up to 3x the dynamic range of competitors. This quad-speaker setup delivers immersive 3D Surround Sound by Dolby Atmos for balanced, multidimensional audio across the full spectrum.
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, letting you 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.
