ROG Intelligent Cooling:

To accommodate the impressive power of its components, the Asus Strix SCAR 18 underwent a complete redesign of its chassis and motherboard. The introduction of a new full-width heatsink and strategically positioned copper fins, closer to the exhaust vents, ensures more efficient cooling. This innovative heatsink comprises three different sections, enveloping the motherboard with densely packed fins, resulting in a total surface area of 195,509mm² – an impressive 82.5% increase from its predecessor, the 2022 Strix SCAR 17. Such design optimization allows for optimal airflow and significantly enhances overall cooling performance.

What sets the SCAR 18 apart is its exceptional cooling system. While most gaming laptops incorporate a dual-fan setup, the SCAR 18 takes it a step further with the addition of a third fan dedicated to keeping the GPU and VRAM cool. Combined with seven heatpipes and the use of Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on both the CPU and GPU, the SCAR 18's cooling system stands as a marvel of engineering, ensuring your laptop stays cool even during the most demanding tasks and intensive gaming sessions.

N ROG Nebula display:

For gaming enthusiasts who demand top-tier motion and image clarity, the SCAR 18 presents an extraordinary Nebula display featuring an impressive 240Hz refresh rate, complete DCI-P3 coverage, and a remarkable 500 nits brightness, resulting in breathtaking gameplay visuals. The 18-inch, 16:10 aspect ratio QHD panel delivers incredibly deep blacks, making content pop off the screen, whether you're engrossed in a movie or playing a fast-paced arena shooter. Additionally, the SCAR 18 offers an alternative option with a Full HD 165Hz panel, both of which boast fantastic color reproduction, Dolby Vision, Adaptive-Sync support, and an 89% screen-to-body ratio, ensuring an exceptional gaming and viewing experience.

Dolby Vision® Technology:

Dolby Vision enhances the visual quality of media significantly, not just on a scene-to-scene basis but also from frame to frame. This advanced technology goes beyond standard 4K high dynamic range (HDR) video, dynamically fine-tuning visuals to bring out the richness, brightness, and vibrancy of every image displayed before you. It allows creators to shoot and edit their streams, videos, and other content using a format widely adopted by industry professionals.

Pantone® Color Validation:

Every IPS-level display undergoes precise factory calibration, guaranteeing that colors remain true to the Pantone® palette. This ensures that artists, designers, and content creators can showcase their work with utmost accuracy and add high-quality content to their portfolios. Moreover, they can delight in enhanced gaming visuals without the need for multiple devices, as everything can be experienced on the same machine.

100% DCI-P3 Color Coverage:

Although the sRGB color space serves as the standard for most digital visuals, it only encompasses approximately 75% of the DCI-P3 spectrum, which is widely used in professional filmmaking. To fully capture the filmmaker's intended colors and vibrancy, displays with complete DCI-P3 coverage offer a wide color gamut. This ensures that you can enjoy films and other media in their truest form, experiencing them exactly as they were meant to be seen.

NVIDIA® G-SYNC:

In-game immersion can be easily disrupted by issues like stuttering and tearing. This occurs because GPUs render frames at variable rates, while displays typically refresh at a constant pace, leading to a lack of synchronization and causing noticeable hitching and artifacts that break the flow of the action. However, NVIDIA G-SYNC technology resolves this problem by synchronizing the display's refresh rate with the GPU's frame rate. As a result, visual tearing is eliminated, stuttering is minimized, and input lag is reduced. The outcome is gameplay that appears and feels incredibly natural, offering an enhanced and seamless gaming experience.

TÜV Rheinland Certification:

Within the broad spectrum of light emitted by displays, certain wavelengths, particularly blue light, can be less desirable and potentially strain our eyes. The Nebula Display addresses this concern by reducing blue light emission before it reaches the screen, effectively safeguarding your eyes and minimizing eyestrain during extended gaming or content creation sessions.

Dolby Vision® Technology:

Dolby Vision elevates the visual quality of media, enhancing it on a scene-to-scene and frame-to-frame basis. This advanced technology surpasses standard 4K high dynamic range (HDR) video by dynamically fine-tuning visuals to make each image appear more vibrant, brighter, and vivid. Creators also benefit from the ability to film and edit their streams, videos, and other content in a widely adopted format commonly used by industry professionals.

Designed to Win Built for Victory:

The Republic of Gamers was founded by passionate video game enthusiasts. Every aspect of ROG's designs and features is crafted with gamers in mind, prioritizing their needs above all else.
