Archive.org versionWe’ve already gone through our first impressions of the SCAR II in an earlier hands-on, so today’s article will basically be talking about the performance of the ASUS ROG Strix GL704GV SCAR II as it relates to synthetic benchmarks and gaming. To catch you up if you’re not a fan of back reading, the ASUS ROG Strix GL704GV SCAR II is a refreshed version of the same notebook released by ASUS last year, sporting NVIDIA’s new Turing-equipped RTX 2060 GPU. While only the GPU was changed from last year’s model, the ASUS ROG Strix GL704GV SCAR II feels like a different beast performance-wise, easily beating Max-Q equipped GTX 1070 notebooks in the same class.

And unsurprisingly, the first RTX-powered notebook in our hands this year comes from ASUS.
