Your Ultimate Pit Stop We’ve completely redesigned the 2025 Strix SCAR 18 to make upgrades easier than ever. This tool-less design allows for simple access to both the RAM, SSD, and fans, and we’ve also brought our latest Q-latch system here for those SSD slots. Like an experienced pit crew, you can remove and replace your SSD and RAM in seconds, having the machine back up and running without missing a lap. A specially designed frame covers the rest of the mainboard to protect the other components, but can easily be removed with a few screws for users who want to tinker further. |
|
Q-Latch System M.2 SSDs are incredibly small and versatile, but the traditional mounting system involves tiny standoffs and screws that can be difficult to manipulate. ROG solved this problem with Q-Latch, a system that first debuted on our award-winning desktop motherboards. Q-Latch uses a simple, tool-less plastic hinge to securely retain your M.2 SSDs, no screwdriver required. |

Storage Upgrade Take on even the largest projects with confidence thanks to ultra-fast PCIe Gen 4 storage. With raw throughput up to 7000MB/s and a graphite sheet for efficient cooling, massive files and detailed game worlds will load in the blink of an eye. Both SSD slots feature our incredibly simple and tool-less Q-latch system, no standoffs or tiny screws required. For those looking to leverage even faster storage speeds, both SSD slots are PCIe Gen 5 ready. |
|
RAM Upgradability The SCAR 18 sports up to 64GB of DDR5 6400MHz RAM, offering incredible gaming and multitasking performance. And with two SO-DIMM slots easily accessible without tools, you can easily upgrade the RAM whenever you need more. Go ahead — keep all those tabs open. |

|
|
Limitless Connectivity We’ve also equipped the Strix SCAR 18 with dual Thunderbolt™ 5 ports, which offers the latest in high bandwidth connectivity, up to 3X compared to Thunderbolt™ 4. With a diverse ecosystem of devices and peripherals compatible over USB-C, including support for power delivery, high-resolution display output, and support for the latest docking stations, Thunderbolt™ 5 is the easiest way to turn your SCAR 18 into a true battlestation. |
|
Nebula HDR Engine The Nebula HDR engine is a purpose-built local dimming algorithm that produces stunning highlights with unparalleled depth. Trained on an instruction set of more than 150 videos and over 2000 still photos, the algorithm can dynamically adjust the HDR lighting needed to minimize blooming around individual dimming zones by 25%. |

ACR Technology This year, we even added two layers of Ambient Contrast Ratio film to the display, which reduces reflections by 55% and provides up to 4.5x better contrast, ensuring the image stays punchy, vivid, and accurate. A second layer boosts viewing angle for a 180° ultra-clear view, providing an image that looks just as good off-center as it does straight on. This machine doesn't just perform at a high level – it draws you into the visuals, with colors so realistic it’s as if you were right in the middle of the action. |
|
Dolby Vision Technology Scene to scene, frame to frame, Dolby Vision makes media look better. The technology improves on standard 4K high dynamic range (HDR) video, dynamically adjusting visuals to make every image in front of you richer, brighter, and livelier. Creators can film and edit their streams, videos, and other content in a format commonly used by industry professionals. |

|
Pantone Color Validation Each IPS-level display is factory-calibrated to ensure that colors are accurate to the Pantone palette. Artists, designers, and content creators can add high-quality content to their portfolios and enjoy richer gaming visuals all on the same machine. |
|
100% DCI-P3 Color Coverage While the sRGB color space is the standard for most digital visuals, it only represents about 75% of the DCI-P3 spectrum used for professional filmmaking. Displays with complete DCI-P3 coverage offer a wide color gamut for more vibrant images, letting you see films and other media exactly the way they were meant to be experienced. |

|
NVIDIA G-SYNC Nothing breaks in-game immersion like stuttering and tearing. GPUs render frames at variable rates, but displays usually refresh at a constant clip, so they can get out of sync, causing visible hitching and artifacts that pull you out of the action. With Adaptive Sync, the refresh rate of the display synchronizes with the GPU’s frame rate to eliminate visual tearing, minimize stuttering, and reduce input lag. Get ready to experience gameplay that looks and feels more natural than ever. |
|
DisplayHDR™1000 Supports HDR technology across a range of luminance (up to 1000cd/m2) to deliver a wider color range and higher contrast than traditional monitors. The brightest whites and the darkest blacks bring out details like never before. This monitor delivers contrast performance that passes DisplayHDR™ 1000 certification. To ensure color accuracy, each ROG monitor is factory pre-calibrated. |

TÜV Rheinland Certification Displays emit light across a broad spectrum that unfortunately includes some less desirable wavelengths. Our Nebula Display protects your eyes by reducing blue light before it leaves the screen, preventing eyestrain during long gaming or content creation sessions. |
|
Large touchpad We know you aren’t always gaming, so we’ve increased the size of the touchpad by 36% from the previous generation for effortless scrolling even when your mouse is tucked away. A larger touchpad also makes multi-touch inputs easier, giving you a smoother experience with the machine even when you’re just browsing the web. |

Dedicated hotkeys Dedicated gaming hotkeys sit just above the left side of the keyboard for quick access to volume, mic mute, operating modes, and Armoury Crate. They are also fully customizable, and can be programmed to launch apps, set as a function key, or used as a macro. The Strix SCAR 18 has all the tools you need for victory. |
|
Overstroke technology Exclusive ROG Overstroke technology registers keypresses earlier in the stroke, enabling a more responsive experience for serious gaming and work. Triggering earlier means faster, effortless inputs with greater accuracy. |
 |
 |
Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation Our advanced Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation technology runs on the CPU, which frees up the GPU to hit higher FPS. It works with any input device and also with downstream connections, letting you remove noise from both your own mic input and from incoming feeds. Noise-canceling settings can even be customized per program, filtering specific apps like voice chat without affecting game audio you want to remain untouched. |
|
Quad Speakers With Dolby Atmos Two tweeters and two woofers powered by Smart Amp offer richer sound with 199% more volume, 190% more powerful bass, and up to 8.58db dynamic range. This quad-speaker setup delivers immersive surround sound optimized by Dolby Atmos technology to deliver balanced, multidimensional audio across the full spectrum without losing clarity or detail. |
