Here are also the benchmark results for several AAA games on ROG Strix SCAR 16 (G634).

More Powerful New Cooling System

ROG Strix SCAR 16 (G634) again uses ROG Intelligent Cooling technology as the basis for its cooling system. The difference is that this time, ROG Strix SCAR 16 (G634) is equipped with a new fan and heatsink configuration that allows this gaming laptop to always operate optimally.

The fan used in the ROG Strix SCAR 16 (G634) cooling system uses a Tri-Fan configuration which combines not two, but three special fans to cool all the components in this gaming laptop. The Tri-Fan configuration is very effective in maintaining the operational temperature of ROG Strix SCAR 16 (G634) so that the performance is always optimal.

Tri-Fan isn't the only new feature in the ROG Strix SCAR 16 (G634) cooling system. The newest ROG gaming laptop also has a unique heatsink design called the Full-Width Heatsink.

The heatsink design runs along the back of the ROG Strix SCAR 16 (G634) body so as to maximize the heat dissipation process. Coupled with a fan with Arc Flow Fan technology and a thermal compound in the form of liquid metal Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut Extreme, ROG Strix SCAR 16 (G634) manages to maintain CPU and GPU temperatures very well.

Based on testing using the 3DMark Stress Test in Speed Way mode for 50 loops, the cooling system in ROG Strix SCAR 16 (G634) has managed to provide excellent performance. The average CPU temperature can also be maintained at 68.11?C with a maximum temperature of 76?C. Meanwhile, the average GPU temperature is 77.44?C with a maximum temperature of 81.7?C.

Best Gaming Laptop Screen Quality

ROG Strix SCAR 16 (G634) has a 16-inch screen with QHD (2560 x 1600) resolution and 240 Hz refresh rate. This screen also supports NVIDIA G-SYNC technology, which can synchronize the GPU frame rate with the screen refresh rate to eliminate tearing and stuttering.

However, what makes ROG Strix SCAR 16 (G634) different from other gaming laptops is the ROG Nebula HDR technology, which uses a Mini LED panel to create an HDR effect.

Mini LED panels have smaller diodes than regular LEDs, so they can be packed in separate zones that can be turned off individually. This makes the blacks darker and the light colors brighter, creating a 100,000:1 contrast ratio.

ROG Nebula HDR is also equipped with a special local lighting algorithm called ROG Nebula HDR Engine. This algorithm was trained on more than 150 videos and 2000 photos, so it can dynamically adjust HDR exposure to minimize the blooming effect around dim zones. Thus, images appear more vivid and immersive.

ROG Nebula HDR technology also ensures the best visual presentation on gaming laptops thanks to 100% DCI-P3 color gamut support and has received the PANTONE Validated Display certification.

In addition, ROG Nebula HDR technology is also equipped with an Eye Care feature that can minimize the impact of blue light radiation on eye health. That's why ROG Strix SCAR 16 (G634) can be said to be a gaming laptop that has the best screen quality.
