18-inch 2.5K 240Hz gaming laptop

The ASUS ROG Strix Scar 18 is an 18-inch Windows 11 Pro gaming laptop built around an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor with 24 cores and a 5.4 GHz turbo frequency. It pairs that CPU with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti laptop GPU carrying 12GB of GDDR7 video memory. The system includes 64GB of DDR5 memory and a 2TB PCIe SSD for primary storage.

18-inch WQXGA display for competitive play

The 18.0-inch WQXGA panel runs at 2560 x 1600 resolution with a 240Hz refresh rate, targeting players who value high frame rates on a large screen. Per-key RGB backlighting, Thunderbolt 5 ports, HDMI 2.1 output and Wi-Fi 7 complete the feature set. Buyers who need a smaller chassis, longer unplugged runtime or a lower price point should consider other models.

RTX 5070 Ti with 12GB GDDR7 decides fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti laptop GPU with 12GB of GDDR7 memory. That graphics configuration sets the performance ceiling for modern titles at the native 2560 x 1600 resolution and dictates whether the thermal and power envelope matches the buyer's workload.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the ROG Strix Scar 18 get when the Intel Ultra 9 275HX runs at 5.4 GHz all day?

The 24-core processor can reach 5.4 GHz turbo, and the 18-inch chassis provides room for airflow, but sustained load will raise fan speed and surface temperature.

Which peripherals must I already own to use the two Thunderbolt 5 ports and the HDMI 2.1 output?

You need Thunderbolt 5-compatible docks or drives for the two USB-C ports, and an HDMI 2.1 cable plus a display that accepts 2560 x 1600 at 240 Hz for the HDMI port.

Will my older USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A devices work with the three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports on this laptop?

Yes, the three Type-A ports are backward compatible, so existing USB 3.2 Gen 1 devices will connect and operate at their rated speed.
