Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 G533ZW Laptop Review: 1440p 240 Hz gaming powerhouse with Alder Lake Core i9 and 150 W RTX 3070 Ti

Scar ye DNA. This year's Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 G533 comes with an improved WQHD 240 Hz panel along with upgrades to Intel Alder Lake Core i9-12900H and a 150 W Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti with a dedicated MUX switch. We find that the Scar 15 is able to check off most boxes that enthusiast gamers look out for. Areas of concern still remain, however, particularly with respect to emissions and power draws.

The Asus ROG Strix series is one of the highly anticipated gaming laptop lineups to look out for at the start of each year. The ROG Strix Scar 15 (2022) was announced during CES 2022 with upgrades to Intel Alder Lake-H and graphics options up to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU. Asus continues to carry forward the G533 nomenclature into 2022 but has made some changes to the branding.

While Asus completely switched over to AMD Ryzen 5000 series offerings with the ROG Strix Scar 15 in 2021, the company has now bifurcated the product line into distinct Intel Alder Lake and AMD Ryzen 6000 offerings.

In the 15.6-inch format, we have offerings such as our current test unit, the ROG Strix Scar 15 G533ZW. On the AMD side, Asus drops the "Scar" branding (along with the signature design and Keystone) with the Strix G15 G513 series being powered by CPU options up to a Ryzen 9 6900HX and up to a 150 W RTX 3080 Laptop GPU.

The ROG Strix Scar 15 G533ZW (2022) introduces some enticing new features to the lineup. All 2022 ROG laptops now come with a MUX switch that can be enabled within Armory Crate. We also get to see display options up to WQHD 240 Hz panels, DDR5-4800 memory, PCIe Gen 4 SSDs, faster USB ports, 2.5G LAN, and Wi-Fi 6E.

Our test ROG Strix Scar 15 G533ZW device is powered by the Core i9-12900H and a 150 W RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU. There's 32 GB DDR5-4800 RAM onboard along with a 2 TB Gen 4 NVMe SSD. This configuration will set you back by ₹2,64,990 (US$3,419).

In this review, we take the ROG Strix Scar 15 G533ZW for a spin and see if the new upgrades merit your consideration.

Case: Unchanged from last year

The ROG Strix Scar 15 G533ZW is virtually indistinguishable from last year's model in terms of design, dimensions, and weight. The main body is primarily made of plastic — it does not feel cheap or tacky, but it can quickly gather quite a few fingerprints and smudges.

There is some flex noticeable in the keyboard deck if pressed hard but nothing concerning in particular. The right edge of the keyboard deck is translucent in signature Scar style, letting get a sneak peek at the innards.

The lid cover is made of aluminum and can be opened with one finger, but it flexes a bit too much for our liking. The back of the lid sports the ROG logo, the outline of which gets some RGB love. There are also LEDs at the base of the display for some added bling. The lid can open only up to about 130°, which can be a bit of a hassle when using the device on the lap.

The base is rubberized for a firm grip. There's also some customizability on offer in the form of ROG Armor Caps — a couple of them come in the box, but you can 3D print custom ones if you like.

Overall, the Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 G533ZW's build quality is sturdy for the most part save for some flex in the keyboard and the lid.

Connectivity: Thunderbolt 4 and Wi-Fi 6E onboard

The ROG Strix Scar 15 G533 covers the essentials when it comes to I/O. On the left, there are two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-As and a combo audio jack while the right just has a slot for the ROG Keystone 2. The Keystone 2 is an NFC key that works with the Armory Crate app to apply various performance and RGB profiles and also to unlock a hidden Shadow Drive.

The majority of the ports are located towards the rear. These include a Thunderbolt 4 port, a USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C that supports DisplayPort-out and Power Delivery, HDMI 2.1-out, a 2.5G Ethernet port, and DC power-in.

The port placement is convenient and does not hinder movements of an external mouse. Unfortunately, the Scar 15 does not offer an SD card slot or a Kensington lock slot.

Communication

The Intel AX211 Wi-Fi 6E module is hidden under the primary M.2 SSD

The ROG Strix Scar 15 offers Wi-Fi 6E connectivity via the Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211 card. We have already seen several laptops featuring the AX211 chipset before, but the ROG Strix Scar 15 is likely to be the first laptop to launch in India that supports the new wireless standard.

The Scar 15's Wi-Fi card can be swapped out if needed, but we are not really fans of its placement. The WLAN card is actually tucked under the primary M.2 SSD and requires removing the drive in order to access it for upgrades or replacement. You should also be careful with the data cable coming from the Keystone PCB that runs directly above the card.

Accordingly, we tested both Wi-Fi 5 GHz and Wi-Fi 6E performance with our reference Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 router at a distance of 1 m from the device in clear line of sight. Our test device shows up to 6% higher average receive speeds with 6E in the receive test and similar average throughput as 5 GHz in the transmit test. The 6E band also allows for higher maximum receive values close to 2 Gbit/s.

We did observe that it takes some time for the 6 GHz option to become available for connecting after freshly booting into Windows. No major dips in throughput were observed during testing.

Webcam

Asus ROG Eye external 1080p 60 fps webcam

The ROG Strix Scar 15 does not feature a webcam. However, our review unit came with an external ROG Eye 1080p 60 fps webcam with built-in beamforming dual microphones. The webcam can be used on the desk or mounted on the Scar 15's top bezel.

The image quality from the ROG Eye is quite usable for the most part. The ROG Eye camera shows an average Delta E color accuracy of 15.12 with our ColorChecker Passport in a well-lit room, with the lowest Delta E values seen in the white and black patches.

The test chart shows decent detailing, but there is a lack of sharpness and clarity in the image. The ROG Eye webcam will set you back by about ₹5,800 (~US$75 or lower) if purchased separately.

Security

Since the ROG Strix Scar 15 is targeted at the gaming crowd, Asus has skimped on security features such as a fingerprint reader or an IR camera. There is a TPM 2.0 module present, however. 

Accessories

The box contains the power adapter and the usual paperwork. You also get the ROG Keystone 2 key and two replaceable ROG Armor Caps. Our unit shipped with the ROG Eye external webcam, but some retail units may not be offered with one depending on the SKU and region.

Maintenance

The bottom panel can be easily pried open after removing the 10 PH0 screws. However, one needs to be careful here as there are fragile ribbon cables that run from the bottom panel to the motherboard. These cables control the RGB light bar on the front edge of the bottom panel.

Having the chassis RGB strip in this location is not a good idea in our opinion as it complicates accessing the internals due to thin cables that can snap if you aren't careful while dislodging the bottom panel. The LEDs should have been part of the main chassis itself ideally like the MSI GE76 Raider, for example.

The innards do not throw up any particular surprises. You get swappable SO-DIMMs, M.2 SSDs, and WLAN card, a large 90 Whr battery, and a dual-fan eight-heat pipe cooling system.

Warranty

Asus offers a standard one-year warranty for the ROG Strix Scar 15 in India. Additional Premium Care warranty extensions can be purchased via the MyAsus app or from an Asus Store.

Indian buyers can currently avail Back to School offers for two and three-year warranty extensions and accidental damage protection across various Asus laptop portfolios, including the ROG series, within 15 days of purchase. 

Input Devices: Back to membrane switches

Keyboard

The matte keyboard deck is a smudge and grease magnet despite Asus's claims to the contrary. The 2021 ROG Strix Scar 15's keyboard featured opto-mechanical switches, but Asus has reverted to the classic membrane dome switch for this year's Scar 15. To compensate, Asus is using what it calls ROG Overstroke that registers a key press earlier in the stroke. The keys are adequately spaced and typing, in general, is quite comfortable with decent tactility.

The topmost row has quick shortcuts for volume, mic mute, fan speed, and the Armory Crate app. These keys can also be mapped to custom shortcuts and macros via Armory Crate. Arrow keys are smaller than we'd like but get the job done. Asus says there are small vents around the WASD keys to draw air into the chassis and prevent keyboard warm-up. 

RGB brightness is more than adequate to enjoy various lighting effects via Aura Sync. All keys can be individually lit, but Asus likes to keep the F1-F12 lettering in the dark for some reason.

Touchpad

The 13 cm x 7.5 cm touchpad is roomy and offers smooth gliding. However, the clicks are shallow and somewhat loud for our taste. Gamers would be better off with a proper mouse.

There's a soft-touch toggle on the touchpad for a digital numeric keypad, which glows only in white.

Display: Dolby Vision with poor contrast ratio but improved response times

Asus essentially uses the same QHD IPS BOE panel as last year's in the new Scar 15 but with a slight revision in the model number and a 240 Hz refresh rate across all 15-inch and 17-inch SKUs.

The Scar 15's display supports Dolby Vision HDR and Adaptive Sync. We used the default "Bright" profile in the Dolby Vision settings for ensuing measurements.

The sub-pixel arrangement appears a bit fuzzy due to the matte coating. We observe significant backlight bleeding under long exposures.

The brightness distribution is decent at 91%. However, the panel suffers from a poor contrast ratio of only 586:1. The overall subjective viewing experience is still pretty good for an IPS panel.

The BOE CQ NE156QHM-NZ2 panel seems to offer much improved response times than last year's variant, which should please gamers. We measured a combined 100% black to 100% white response time of 7.5 ms and a combined 50% grey to 80% grey response time of 4.21 ms.

Asus enables overdrive mode by default, which is reflected in the "horn" signal seen in the 50% grey to 80% grey data. Panel overdrive can be disabled in the Armory Crate app. This increases the grey-to-grey response times to 7.86 ms.

We did not observe any PWM or screen flickering across all brightness levels, so long-term use of this display should not cause any eye fatigue.

For more information, refer to our article "Why Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is such a headache", and also check out our PWM ranking table for PWM frequency comparison across all reviewed devices.

Display Response Times

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
7.5 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 3.89 ms rise
↘ 3.61 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 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 14 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (22.3 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
4.21 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 1.98 ms rise

In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.25 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 8 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (35.1 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey

In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.25 (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 (35.1 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

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 18925 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Outdoor viewing is decent as long as there is no harsh sunlight falling on the display. Viewing angles are wide, but we observe loss of brightness and color information when viewed from extreme angles.

Performance: Core i9-12900H gets wings at 135 W

Asus has equipped our test ROG Strix Scar 15 unit with an Intel Core i9-12900H CPU and a 150 W Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU.

Apparently, the Core i9-12900H with a liquid metal thermal interface material (TIM) is the de facto processor option on all 2022 Scar 15 SKUs, at least in India. GPU options, however, range from the 140 W RTX 3060 to the 150 W RTX 3080 Ti.

 

Testing Conditions

The Armory Crate app allows the selection of one of the three primary performance modes — Silent, Performance, and Turbo. You can also tune clock and fan settings manually in the Manual mode or simply let Windows power profiles take over with the Windows mode.

For the GPU, Asus allows choosing between the default MSHybrid mode and a MUX mode. The MUX switch allows routing the dGPU signal directly to the internal display bypassing the iGPU. This can afford a slight performance benefit, which we shall see in the GPU Performance section. However, for the sake of comparison, we used the standard MSHybrid mode as this is the default configuration.

The table below illustrates how the PL1 and PL2 values change with each chosen power profile. We recommend going with the Turbo profile for heavy workloads and gaming if high fan noise levels are no issue.

Performance Mode PL1 / Tau PL2 / Tau
Silent 45 W / 56 s 70 W / 2.44 ms
Performance 80 W / 56 s 90 W / 2.44 ms
Turbo 135 W / 56 s 135 W / 2.44 ms

For our testing, we chose the Turbo mode as it allows the Core i9-12900H to fully flex its muscles with an unlocked 135 W PL1/PL2. Comparative data between various performance modes are provided wherever applicable.

Processor

The Core i9-12900H in the ROG Strix Scar 15 offers good sustained performance
The Core i9-12900H in the ROG Strix Scar 15 offers good sustained performance

The Core i9-12900H is a 12th gen Alder Lake part with 14 cores (6P+8E) and 20 threads. Asus's implementation of a robust cooling system ensures that the Core i9-12900H is able to offer sustained performance without much throttling in the Cinebench R15 multi-core loop test.

Interestingly, we observe the Core i7-12700H in the Lenovo Legion 5i Pro 16 G7 to offer a slightly higher multi-core performance across the board. However, the Core i9-12900H does have the edge in single-core loads.

The Core i9-12900H also seems to have a slight advantage over the Core i9-12900HK in the MSI Raider GE66 12UHS, but ties with the multiplier-unlocked Alder Lake chip in the Gigabyte Aero 16 YE5 in single-core Cinebench tests.

On battery, the ROG Strix Scar 15 switches to the Silent power plan. This results in a massive 40% reduction in multi-core performance and a 50% drop in single-core numbers in Cinebench R20.

The following graph illustrates how different CPU parameters vary during a Cinebench R15 multi-core loop in each of the performance modes. Turbo allows the Core i9-12900H to use 135 W, but this does not last for more than 10 seconds. The CPU eventually settles at ~100 W for most of the loop. During this process, the average core temperatures hit 90 °C while clocks reach between 4.1 GHz to 4.2 GHz. 

Performance mode sees 90 W of package power drawn initially but this settles at 80 W from the sixth loop onwards. The core temperatures reach 90 °C here as well, but the processor can touch 4 GHz+ only at a few intervals.

Silent mode starts off close to 60 W but settles near to the 30 W mark. As expected, this results in lower CPU clocks usually near the 2 GHz mark with occasional spikes to the 3.5 GHz mark. The temperatures in this mode are quite low at 70 °C.

CPU clocks, core temperatures, and package powers during a Cinebench R15 loop in various performance modes. (Red - Turbo, Green - Performance, Blue - Silent)

DPC Latency

The Scar 15's measured DPC latency is lower than most of its competition. That being said, you may still run into potential hiccups when it comes to real-time audio and video workflows. The Windows power management component, ACPI.sys, seems to be the reason for the observed high DPC latency.
