Part of this, I think, is the asking price.
This display is ‘only’ 2560x1440, though again, theres a sense of pragmaticism here.
Then again, theres nothing to nitpick about its colour reproduction.
Games therefore look brilliant, especially if theyre running fast enough to exploit that esports-grade refresh rate.
This yanked that improved 84fps average all the way up to 132fps, all other controls being equal.
A near-doubling of the native, non-ray traced result.
Quite the thing, that DLSS 3.
Of course, its not jut the GPU doing the heavy lifting.
And thats a luxury desktop processor, without the notebook-bound Ryzen 9 7945HXs heat and efficiency concerns.
Its an effective cooling system, too.
In any case, most aspects of the Strix Scar 17 aim much, much higher.
Its the fact that, with the possible exception of the battery, every individual part is in sync.
This review is based on a retail unit provided by Asus.
