NVIDIA® Advanced Optimus

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. 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 optimised mode without you having to lift a finger.

Cooling

ROG Intelligent Cooling™

Powerful components require powerful cooling. The 2023 ROG Strix SCAR 17 X3D utilises Thermal Grizzly’s Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on the GPU. An ultra-high performance thermal interface material that can keep the chip up to 15°C cooler than traditional thermal pastes. When paired with a massive custom vapour chamber that covers 43.3% of the motherboard and four dedicated exhaust vents, this thermal solution transfers heat out of the system incredibly efficiently. ROG’s Intelligent Cooling™ technology allows 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 Strix SCAR 17 X3D keeps noise in check, too: when in Performance mode, the machine does not exceed 40 dB.

• UP TO 15°C Cooler GPU
• Vapour Chamber 43.3% Thermal Coverage
• 4 fan outlet
• Arc Flow Fans™ 84 Curve Bladed
• Under 43 dB in Performance Mode

Beat the Heat

Heat dissipation is faster and more efficient with our vapour chamber design, which vastly increases surface area compared to traditional heatpipe systems. Unlike conventional heat pipes that only transfer heat along their axis, vapour 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 X3D features Thermal Grizzly’s cutting-edge Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on the GPU. Compared to traditional thermal pastes, this indium- and gallium-based compound offers 17X higher conductivity, in addition to temperature reductions of up to 15 degrees. Used exclusively by ROG, this material offers the highest thermal transfer available on a laptop.

*Temperature improvements compared to the previous gen thermal compound, as tested internally by ASUS. Thermal conductivity compared to industry standard.

Software

Endless Customisation

When you want to tweak settings, monitor temperatures, or tinker with your laptop, Armoury Crate is your command center. Real-time monitoring allows 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.

Macro Keys

Armoury Crate also supports full customisation of the dedicated hotkeys. By default they act as volume control, microphone mute and a quick launch for Armoury Crate, but with a few adjustments you can make them work for you. Create a function key for quick toggle when needed, a macro for complicated button combinations, or even a quick launch button for the application of your choice. Make your machine uniquely yours.

Performance Modes

More than just simple fan curves, Armoury Crate’s performance modes serve to transform your machine from a silent, power sipping web browser to a full gaming battlestation with maximum horsepower. And for those that require even more granular control, Manual mode removes all limiters and lets you make a custom profile that suits your exact needs. For more information on Performance Modes, check out our full guide here.

Game Visual

ROG GameVisual software offers six expertly tuned graphic modes designed to optimise your visual experience for specific game genres. First Person Shooter (FPS) mode, for example, enhances visibility in dark environments, allowing you to get the drop on any enemies lurking in the shadows. Use GameVisual to get the best experience for every game in your library.

Aura Creator

Customise the RGB lighting on Aura-compatible peripherals to suit your gaming style. Aura Creator’s easy-to-use control panel allows you to alter a brilliant spectrum of lighting effects and colours, in addition to swapping preset lighting modes, you can also activate Aura Sync to match colours and effects across multiple devices.

Aura Wallpaper

This brand new feature in Armoury Crate 5.0 allows you to synchronise an animated desktop wallpaper with your laptop's RGB lighting. Choose between multiple ROG-themed wallpapers and RGB effects to give your rig a completely unified look. Additional wallpapers can be downloaded directly from Armoury Crate, and the application can easily be controlled from the Windows system tray.

Scenario Profiles

Automatic switching between Silent, Performance, and Turbo modes is just the beginning for Scenario Profiles. You can also define application-specific preferences for other vital system settings, like the lighting configuration and whether the Windows key or touchpad are enabled. Armoury Crate makes adjustments in an instant to best fit the task at hand, and you can configure each profile exactly how you want.

Design

The Strix SCAR 17 X3D’s sporty Armour Cap adds even more personality to the machine. Subtle cut-outs and icons adorn the exterior and add even more intrigue to the bottom of the laptop, setting the system apart at any angle.

Wrapped into a robust milled aluminium chassis, the Strix SCAR 17 X3D is ready to go with you anywhere.

A lightbar adds a bit of glow and is configurable with Aura Sync. Paired with the RGB keyboard, you can easily illuminate your domain.

Display

Lightning Fast, Crystal Clear

You can’t beat the enemy if you don’t see them coming. The Strix SCAR 17 X3D has ultra-fast panel options for every scenario, making sure you’ll never miss a moment. This 17-inch machine offers 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 offers fantastic colour, Dolby Vision HDR, and Adaptive-Sync for a stellar gaming and viewing experience.

Audio

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 Cancellation processes both incoming and outgoing audio to filter any errant background noises, making sure that your calls, chats and streams come through without distraction.

• Smart AMP Speakers

• Two-way AI Noise Cancellation

Two-Way AI Noise Cancellation

Our advanced Two-Way AI Noise Cancellation 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-cancelling settings can even be customised per programme, filtering specific apps like voice chat without affecting game audio you want to remain untouched.

Dual Speakers with Dolby Atmos

Two speakers powered by Smart Amp offer richer sound with 2.8x more volume, 3x more powerful bass, and up to 3x the dynamic range of alternatives. This dual-speaker setup delivers immersive surround sound optimised by Dolby Atmos technology to deliver balanced, multidimensional audio across the full spectrum without losing clarity or detail.

Hi-Res

Hi-Res Audio provides lossless audio, letting you hear recordings exactly as the artist intended.

Control

Keyboard Layout

Taking inspiration from the best desktop keyboards, the function keys are spaced for fewer misses, and enlarged directional arrows are isolated for precise finger control. Five dedicated gaming hotkeys give quick access to features like volume, mic mute, and Armoury Crate.

Dedicated Hotkeys

Dedicated gaming hotkeys sit just above the left side of the keyboard for quick access to the volume and mic mute controls, operating modes, and Armoury Crate. They are also fully customisable, and can be programmed to launch apps, set as a function key, or used as a macro. The Strix SCAR 17 X3D has all of the tools you need for victory.

Overstroke Technology

Exclusive ROG Overstroke technology registers keypresses earlier in the stroke, enabling a more responsive experience for serious gaming and work. Triggering earlier means faster, effortless inputs with greater accuracy.
