    Leverage the power of Ryzen™ with the AMD Ryzen™ 9 6900HX CPU. This flagship processor has incredible single-threaded performance, critical for a smooth gaming experience. When you need to stream or record your gameplay, the 8 cores and 16 threads can also flex their multi-threaded muscle without breaking a sweat. No matter how you intend to play, the AMD Ryzen™ 9 6900HX CPU is there to support you.

  • THE NEXT GENERATION

    DDR5 is here. The next generation of memory technology writes data 50% faster than DDR4, with the Strix G sporting 4800MHz of DDR5 RAM—speeds that put most DDR4 laptops to shame. More bandwidth and higher frequencies ensure that your CPU will never be waiting for data.

  • ELIMINATE LOADING TIMES

    No one likes to wait for loading screens. With PCIe® 4.0, you’ll get into the game faster than ever before. Whether you’re loading a new mission, installing the latest game to your library, or working with large projects and file transfers, PCIe® 4.0 has more than enough bandwidth to keep your machine running snappy.

GET MORE WITH MUX

Top-tier components require power, especially when it comes to cutting-edge GPUs. This year we are bumping up the G’s max TGP by 20W, to a total of 150W for the NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3080 Laptop GPU. Higher power limits unlock even more performance from these graphics cards, ensuring you have the absolute best gaming experience.

Modern gaming laptops route frames from the GPU through the CPU’s integrated graphics before reaching the display. This offers better battery life, but prevents your GPU from giving its absolute best performance. So we’re bringing a MUX Switch to all 2022 ROG laptops. For competitive games, you can switch to a direct GPU mode that reduces latency and boosts performance by an average of 15%.

GEFORCE RTX

THE ULTIMATE PLAY

  • Boost Performance with AI

    NVIDIA DLSS gives games a speed boost with uncompromised image quality. Crank up the settings and resolution for an even better visual experience.

  • More Immersive Experiences

    Ray Tracing is the holy grail of graphics. It simulates how light behaves in the real-world to produce the most realistic and immersive graphics for gamers and creators – and runs fast thanks to 2nd gen RT Cores.

  • Optimized Power and Performance

    NVIDIA Max-Q is a suite of technologies powered by AI that optimize laptops to deliver high performance in thin form factors.

Top-tier gaming components generate heat, which can impact performance and noise levels. The Strix G utilizes ROG Intelligent Cooling™ to keep thermals under control. Liquid Metal on the CPU begins the process, lowering temperatures by up to 16 degrees Celsius compared to traditional thermal pastes. 4 fan outlets make sure that the laptop can rid itself of excess heat as efficiently as possible. Software profiles customize the experience, with Silent mode keeping noise levels quiet in lighter tasks, and Performance mode unlocking the power of your laptop by increasing both graphics power limits and fan speeds. No matter what you’re doing, you can choose the ideal balance between power and acoustics.

Keep your CPU cool with Liquid Metal

Cooling is one of the greatest challenges facing gaming laptops, and ROG is constantly pushing the envelope. This drive led to Liquid Metal, which is extremely effective at transferring thermal energy. Lower temperatures help processors sustain higher clock speeds for longer and prevent fans from ramping up and making noise.
*Temperature improvements compared to the traditional thermal compound, as tested internally by ASUS. Thermal conductivity compared to industry standard.

Upgraded Arc Flow Fans™ move more air with less noise

Updated Arc Flow Fans™ feature 84 curved blades specially shaped to maximize airflow with minimal noise. Variable thickness blades reduce turbulence as the fan accelerates air with centrifugal force, giving you a quieter overall experience.
*Airflow improvements compared to the 71-blade ROG fan design, as tested internally by ASUS.

0.1MM ULTRA THIN FINS FOR THE WIN

Thermal energy is dissipated by 4 heatsinks in the flanks. Each one is lined with ultra-thin fins as slim as 0.1mm, allowing higher density and lower air resistance than typical fins. There are 247 heatsink fins totaling 101706 mm2 of surface area, specially shaped for the chassis to guide airflow in multiple directions.

SECOND GENERATION ANTI-DUST TUNNELS EJECT DEBRIS

Our upgraded thermal module design features shorter anti-dust tunnels that leave more space around the fan, improving airflow by up to 15%. Preventing the buildup of dust ensures the long-term stability and reliability of your system.

3D FLOW ZONE GIVES ACCESS TO FRESH AIR

Ample airflow is a fundamental aspect of effective cooling. To amp up cool air intake for the Strix G15/17, its hinges are shifted forward in front of a heavily ventilated 3D Flow Zone. A trapezoidal cut carves out the bottom of the screen to ensure that the venting below is unobstructed, while giving the laptop its signature asymmetrical style.

COOLZONE KEYBOARD KEEPS YOU FROSTY

Extended gaming sessions can heat up internal components and make the keyboard above warm to the touch. To keep your fingers cool, small vents around the WASD keys let the fans draw cool air into the chassis from above.

0DB AMBIENT COOLING

Enjoy truly silent cooling under light workloads with 0dB Ambient Cooling. In the Silent operating mode, the cooling system switches off all fans during everyday tasks to dissipate heat passively. This lets you concentrate on your work and immerse yourself in movies with less distraction. If CPU or GPU temperatures increase, the fans automatically switch on again.

UP TO 6 COMPREHENSIVE HEATPIPES HAVE YOU COVERED

The comprehensive thermal design includes an extended heat spreader that absorbs heat from the CPU, GPU, VRAM, and VRM. It combines with up to 6 heat pipes that cover the same components. This extensive thermal coverage helps sustain and extend the overall performance, reliability, and lifespan of the system.

SCENARIO PROFILES

Our Silent, Performance, and Turbo modes are just the beginning. Scenario Profiles allow your system to automatically switch between them based on the application you’re running, alongside other vital system settings. Switch between lighting configurations automatically, disable the Windows key and touchpad during games, and automate to your heart’s content. Armoury Crate makes adjustments in an instant to best fit the task at hand.

A SPLASH OF COLOR

Add a little color to your life. For a more reserved look, Eclipse Gray keeps your laptop’s true potential under wraps, while bold Volt Green and Electro Punk make sure you stand out in the crowd.

For gamers that need the absolute fastest panels available today, Full HD 360Hz is the cream of the crop. If you prefer graphical immersion, consider QHD a sweet spot between resolution and refresh rate. Select models have a 3ms response time and support Dolby Vision HDR for exceptional contrast and picture quality.
