Thunderbolt 5 connectivity suits competitive players

This configuration targets competitive gamers and creators who need high refresh rates, low latency and multiple high-speed ports including two Thunderbolt 5 interfaces, HDMI 2.1 and 2.5Gbps LAN. Buyers who prefer a smaller chassis, lighter weight or a touchscreen should consider other models in the range.

64GB DDR5 and 4TB PCIe headroom

The 64GB DDR5 memory and 4TB PCIe SSD provide ample headroom for modern AAA titles, heavy multitasking and large creative projects. The 16GB GDDR7 video memory supports high-resolution textures and frame buffers, while the 24-core CPU handles parallel workloads without bottlenecking the GPU in most scenarios.

Questions about this item

Do I need to buy a Thunderbolt 5 dock to use the two Thunderbolt 5 ports on the ROG Strix SCAR 18?

The two Thunderbolt 5 ports support DisplayPort, power delivery and G-SYNC directly, so external monitors or charging work without an extra dock.

Will my existing USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A peripherals plug straight into the three Type-A ports on this laptop?

Yes, the three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports accept your current USB-A devices at up to 10 Gbps without adapters.

How can I confirm the 18 inch 2560 x 1600 Mini LED panel is running at its full 240 Hz refresh rate after setup?

Open Windows Settings > System > Display > Advanced display and verify the refresh rate dropdown shows 240 Hz for the built-in screen.
