ROG Strix SCAR 17 X3D 17.3” QHD 240Hz/3ms GeForce RTX 4090 AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D 32GB DDR5 2TB PCIe SSD Wi-Fi 6E Win 11 Pro

I recently traded in my old laptop to help pay for this. Overall, the performance on this machine is fantastic. I personally believe the difference between the 4090 and 4080 laptop GPUS is not too noticeable and not worth the extra 600 dollars. That being said, I am easily get over 100+ FPS on ultra settings for games like Cyberpunk, Warhammer 3, World of Warcraft, and Overwatch 2. When I say 100+ FPS it's more like over 120-130 FPS in some titles, really awesome!

The machine stays cool for the most part, I use a cooling pad to help keep the temps down even more. This AMD processor is an absolute monster, holy cow its blazing fast! Screen is nice, colors really pop at you. It's not as bright as others but unless you are playing outside in sunlight you won't have any major issues.

My only complaint is how much of a fingerprint magnet this thing is. Wish Asus used a different material but oh well. If you are looking for a desktop replacement, this machine is the perfect choice. Awesome job Asus!

Fantastic Machine!

This is an amazing machine. It does have a lot of bloatware on it, but that's easily removed. RGB is great, and the screen is amazing!

So far, so good

I have been using this laptop for almost a year and I absolutely love it. The RGB is beautiful, the screen is crystal clear, the components run smooth as silk. I use this for everything from work to extreme gaming and it has kept up remarkably. I’m a ROG customer for life!

An unstoppable force

I wanted a great gaming laptop. This does not disappoint! With a 12th Gen Intel I9 processor, DDR5 memory (upgraded to 64GB RAM), the NVidia 3070Ti and Intel Iris on-board graphics, every game plays fast and great. The 17" screen is QHD, which is almost a good as 4K, running at 240MHz keeps even the fastest moving images looking sharp and clear. With plenty of USB ports, an HDMI output, headphone jack, it has what counts for connectivity. The Wi-Fi 6E will definitely keep up with the bandwidth needed if you don't use the ethernet port. The RGB lighting on the keyboard, around the edges and even the ROG emblem on the screen lid really adds a nice touch for aesthetics. ASUS makes great products, and the Republic of Gamers lineup takes it to the next level of performance.

Superb Gaming Laptop

This laptop has plenty of power for gaming and a nice bright 300Hz IPS screen. Lighthing is awesome. The keystone fob is bit useless for me but some may found it usefull.

The laptop seem really well built. Material feel is nice.

Ventillation is quite loud but that is expected for a gaming laptop.

The mux switch is a nice to have. Gives me 10 to 15 more FPS on the Witcher 3 when all settings are at maximum.

Lots of power and some gimmics

It's the best laptop I ever owned. The display is clean and crisp. Graphics while gaming are incredible thanks to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 ti. I love it and I would definitely recommend it.

It's my first ever laptop and....

Great laptop, benchmarks as well as my desktop with a 3800x/2080 super.

Great screen

Great lapop

This is an excellent system but it could have been better if Asus had chosen to use a dataport instead of an HDMI port. The graphics are good despite this fact but I purchased an HDMI to dataport adaptor which may be a factor in the quality of the display. Would recommend this system as it is very fast.

Almost

Just got home with this laptop. I decided it was time for an upgrade from my Alienware after seeing the World of Warcraft Dragonflight expansion announcement. My Alienware is 17.3 1080P, and I wanted to make the jump to 1440. I was looking at the MSI GS76 at Bestbuy, but they only had the 1080P version, that also came with a 3070 and 11th gen CPU. I’m so glad I decided to check what Microcenter had, and I have an older Asus ROG which still runs great, so getting this Asus with a 3070ti, plus 12th gen CPU for about the same price was a no brainer.

The screen is so sharp (of course I’m coming from a 1080P screen,) and I’m so glad I decided on this laptop.

So far, so good!

Bought this for my gamer son. It will run any triple A title you care to throw at it. He says the display color is good, which is a pleasant surprise, and that there's space on the HD for ~5 major titles. We'll likely add another SSD (which is a great option to have). It's bulky for a laptop (imo) but a total beast. Recommended for the "I don't care how big or heavy it is" crowd.
