Alder Lake Geforce Gaming Laptop Thunderbolt Windows

The ROG Strix Scar SE is the gaming flagship from Asus, and in 2022 as well, it is again equipped with the fastest components that are currently available on the market. We test the G733CX top model with the Intel Core i9-12950HX, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, two 2-TB SSDs from Samsung, and a fast QHD panel with a 240-Hz refresh rate. The price is high-end as well, since the MSRP of our test unit comes in at 3,999 Euros (~$4,129).

Case - Gaming laptop with a design that stands out and extensive illumination

The ROG Strix Scar 17 is clearly a gaming laptop that doesn't hide its ambitions at all. The case is to a large extent identical to last year's G733QS, and one part of the base unit is transparent again. In addition, there are extensively illuminated elements and some additional design elements or gimmicks such as the special writing on the lid that only becomes visible when you shine a UV light on it.

The quality of the plastic case is good overall, even though the surfaces continue to be prone to fingerprints and you might hear the occasional slight creaking noise when opening the display, for example. The stability of the thick base unit is decent, but you can still press down the base unit minimally in the central area of the keyboard. While the relatively slim display lid does a good job, the hinge is still unable to prevent some slight wobbling after the laptop is moved, for example.

Even though the bottom cover of the case can be removed, you have to be careful doing that. Since the illumination is integrated into the part, you first have to disconnect two small flat cables, before you can remove the cover. With access to the fans, the two SSDs, two RAM modules, and the WLAN module, the maintenance options are good.

Equipment - ROG Strix Scar 17 with HDMI 2.1 & Wi-Fi 6E

In addition to a Thunderbolt connection, the G733CX offers an HDMI 2.1 port, and the USB port on the back can also be used for charging on the road (max. 100 watts). Most of the connections are in the back, and you will only find two regular USB-A ports and the 3.5-mm audio port on the left side. The right side also offers a slot for Asus Keystone, allowing you to store the system settings and data.

The WLAN performance with Intel AX211 is very good, and we were also able to connect to the 6-GHz network of our Asus reference router without any trouble. There is also an Ethernet connection with 2.5 Gbit/s for wired connections. Users of the ROG Strix Scar 17 have to go without a webcam, but if necessary, the manufacturer offers a corresponding external webcam (ROG Eye S).

Input Devices - Asus with a good keyboard

Asus has changed the keyboard layout again, now using a more conventional layout with smaller special keys. There is also a "regular" number block again, which also means that the arrow keys have moved slightly to the left and are now smaller. Not all users would like this. However, the quality of the keyboard is very good with the long hub of 2 mm, and you can go wild on the illumination, which allows you to configure each key separately, including game specific modes via AuraSync technology. The large ClickPad offers good sliding characteristics and works reliably, but it is also fairly loud when you press it.

Display - QHD with 240 Hz

In addition to the Full-HD panel with 360 Hz that we tested in last year's Scar 17 G733QS, Asus also offers a QHD panel with a 240 Hz refresh rate, which is the panel in our test unit. The subjective image impression of the matte IPS panel (2560 x 1440 pixels, 16:9) is very good, and in addition to Dolby Vision HDR, Adaptive Sync is also supported. The response times are extremely fast, and PWM isn't used. The brightness is about 300 cd/m² on average, which is also the same level as the Full-HD panel with 360 Hz. On the other hand, the black value is a bit high, also resulting in a mediocre contrast ratio of around 1,000:1.

The display covers the P3 color space, and our analysis with the professional CalMAN software shows that the screen is already very accurate in the state of delivery. There is also no color tint, and our own calibration didn't lead to any additional improvement, so we are not offering a profile for you here. This QHD panel is suited for image and video processing without any limitations.

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
10.1 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 5 ms rise
10.1 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 5.1 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 23 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.5 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
5.7 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 2.7 ms rise
5.7 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 3 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 13 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (33.7 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 17915 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Performance - Intel HX with the brakes applied

Test Conditions

The ROG software offers extensive configuration options and power profiles. For example, you can completely deactivate the integrated GPU (MUX) or manually set the power values for the CPU and GPU. For our benchmarks and measurements below, we use the Performance profile, since this already makes the full GPU performance available. While the CPU performance is even slightly higher in Turbo mode, this doesn't justify the significantly higher fan noise in our opinion.

Processor - Core i9-12950HX

The Intel Core i9-12950HX is currently the fastest mobile processor from Intel. Even though it is able to consume up to 175 watts, it stays far from this value in our test unit. Instead, we see a maximum consumption of 115 watts (even in Turbo mode), and at some point the value levels out at 70 watts (105 watts in Turbo mode). While the CPU performance isn't bad at all, you could also get this with a regular Core i9, and the additional premium for the HX chip isn't worth the additional expense.

In battery operation, the power consumption is limited to 35 watts, leading to a multi-core performance that is reduced by about 40%. You can find additional CPU benchmarks in our corresponding technical section.

Storage Solution

Asus uses two fast 2-TB SSDs from Samsung (PM91A) in a RAID 0 configuration here. This allows extremely high transfer rates of more than 10 GB/s. However, the performance doesn't remain stable under constant load, dropping massively instead. But that shouldn't cause any limitations during everyday gaming. You can find additional SSD benchmarks here.

Graphics Card

Asus uses the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti version with a TGP of 150 watts, and the GPU is also able to use an additional 25 watts Dynamic Boost from the processor. It also achieves this value (175 watts) in the Performance mode, so it is not necessary to use the Turbo mode. There is also a MUX that allows you to completely deactivate the integrated GPU (requires a restart), which improves the latencies while gaming but doesn't have much of an effect on the graphics performance itself.

The graphics performance falls within the group of top performers and is also higher than the average values for the RTX 3080 Ti in our database. In addition, the graphics performance remains completely stable. The 3DMark Time Spy stress test is passed without any problems, and there is also no performance drop in our The Witcher 3 constant load test. The gaming performance is easily sufficient for maximum details in the native QHD resolution, even in demanding games.

In battery operation, the GPU is allowed to consume a maximum of 44 watts, which corresponds to a performance drop of about 70%. You can find additional GPU benchmarks here.

Emissions and Power Management

Noise Levels

Asus uses a vapor chamber cooling system here. In the Performance power mode, the device also remains relatively quiet, and we are able to measure a maximum of 46 dB(A) during the stress test as well as while gaming. This is of course still noticeable, but our test unit is still significantly quieter with this than the competitors. In the Turbo mode, the gaming performance is only insignificantly higher, but the two running fans produce a loud 54 dB(A). During idle operation, the fans often remain turned off, but we almost always notice some quiet electronic noises. Under load, there is also some audible coil whine coming from the GPU, we are guessing.

Temperature

Despite the relatively quiet fans, the surface temperatures give no reason for concern. Even though we measure more than 50 °C (122 °F) in some isolated spots under load, the keyboard remains very cool and there are no limitations at all during gaming.

During the stress test, the GPU receives preferential treatment, running stably at 150 watts as soon as the processor has leveled out at about 36 watts. There is no performance reduction right after the stress test.

The sound system consists of a total of four modules that produce a powerful and spacious sound. Even though the speakers aren't the loudest on the market, the quality is very good overall. However, due to the loud fan noise while gaming, we still recommend a headset.

Power Consumption

The ROG Strix Scar 17 SE isn't a very efficient laptop, which is not very surprising considering the powerful hardware. We already measure up to 27 watts during idle operation, and while gaming the value increases to about 230 watts. The 330-Watt power supply is therefore sufficiently large. The standby consumption is also fairly high at 2.6 watts, but this is due to the lighting effects that are activated by default.

Power Consumption

Off / Standby	0.58 / 2.6 Watt
Idle	19.3 / 26.5 / 27.1 Watt

Battery Life

In our WLAN runtime test at 150 cd/m², which corresponds to 48% of the maximum brightness, our test unit only lasts for about 4 hours. Considering the high consumption values, this isn't very surprising. Some of the competitors last significantly longer here, if you need to bridge the times away from the outlet. Gaming is possible for about one hour but only with a significant performance reduction. It takes about 100 minutes to completely recharge the 90-Wh battery, with 80% of the capacity already available after about 53 minutes.

Pros

+ good QHD panel with 240 Hz

+ high and stable gaming performance

+ extensive case illumination

+ TB4, Wi-Fi 6E, and PCIe 4.0

+ relatively quiet fans while gaming

Cons

- inconsistent SSD performance

- additional premium for HX CPU isn't worth it

- no webcam

- electronic noises

Verdict - A fully equipped fast gaming laptop

Testing the Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 2022. Test unit provided by Asus Germany.

The current Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 SE delivers really everything a gamer's heart desires. A fast QHD panel with 240 Hz together with the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, which also offers sufficient power for the native resolution in maximum details. While the CPU performance is also good for a gaming laptop, the potential of the HX processor cannot be used fully. You should therefore save yourself the additional premium for the more powerful processor and just choose a regular Core i9.

Other advantages include the very accurate colors, if you have to work on video processing directly, for example, the moderate surface temperatures, and the relatively quiet fans during gaming. Although a Turbo mode is available, which also becomes significantly louder, this doesn't have much of an impact on the gaming performance, so it isn't worthwhile in our opinion.

The new Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 SE offers plenty of performance and gaming features, but you should save on the additional premium for the Intel HX processor.

The competitors in the gaming market offer similar performance specifications but also brighter displays in parts and less flashy cases. In addition, electronic noises can become annoying in the long run.

Price and Availability

Our test configuration of the ROG Strix Scar 17 SE is available from Amazon for $3899, and a smaller configuration with the regular Core i9-12900H is also available there for $2278.
