ASUS ROG brings you the ROG Strix SCAR 17 X3D, a powerhouse of cutting-edge technology. Featuring the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D mobile CPU equipped with AMD’s 3D V-Cache technology, this laptop doubles the L3 cache of its predecessor, the Ryzen 9 7945HX, which is great news for memory-intensive games. It also features a 240Hz QHD display and advanced cooling solutions like Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal and a vapor chamber; the Strix SCAR 17 X3D is surely built for high-performance gaming.

Boosting Gaming CPUs with AMD 3D V-Cache Technology

The first ROG Strix SCAR 17 wowed us with AMD Ryzen 7000 Series processors. Now, the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D takes gaming to the next level by leveraging AMD’s 3D V-Cache. This innovation involves adding an extra high-speed L3 cache vertically to one of the core compute dies (CCD). The result is a significant cache boost that supercharges the performance of the eight cores, especially during gaming. When pushing the CPU’s frequency to its limits doesn’t yield substantial improvements, 3D V-Cache technology unleashes additional computing power.

Teamed up with powerful graphics like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D processor delivers approximately 20% better performance in specific game titles compared to the standard Ryzen 9 7945HX. Plus, this device fully supports AMD Precision Boost Overdrive, a BIOS feature that enables gamers to overclock the CPU for even greater performance gains.

A Winning Combination

The enhanced performance of the ROG Strix SCAR 17 X3D pairs perfectly with the ROG Intelligent Cooling system, a feature found in other Strix laptops. It ensures peak performance by applying Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal to the GPU, which offers exceptional thermal conductivity—17 times better than traditional thermal pastes. The full-cover vapor chamber not only cools critical components like the CPU and GPU but also extends its cooling prowess to elements like the voltage regulator modules (VRMs), covering a substantial 43.3% of the motherboard area. This cutting-edge vapor chamber represents the pinnacle of ROG Intelligent Cooling technology.

While retaining the original SCAR 17’s eye-catching and sporty design, the ROG Strix SCAR 17 X3D offers extensive RGB customization for a consistent ROG look. Its robust I/O includes dual USB Type-C ports, dedicated HDMI 2.1, and 2.5G Ethernet ports, making it a versatile battle station when connected to an external display. For gaming on the go, the 17-inch QHD 240 Hz panel with G-SYNC support ensures a seamless gaming experience by eliminating motion tearing. It also benefits from NVIDIA Advanced Optimus for enhanced performance and reduced latency.

Pricing and Availability

The Asus ROG Strix SCAR 17 X3D is currently in stock with a base model priced at $3,699.99. You can explore additional variants with enhanced storage and memory options through system integrators and retailers.
