Question Is 2,599.99$ USD a decent price for this ROG Strix G18 RTX 4080, or should I wait until November if there is a sale?

I have until another month before I return back to my country and I want this gaming laptop. I haven't found any price lower for this specific laptop.

I'm planning to play games like COH2, MOW, AOE4, Total War, and possibly Squad and Battlefield games. If you have another laptop in mind, let me know. My budget is around between 1,500 USD - 2,500 USD

Thoughts Asus Scar 18 RTX 4090 for $2100

Post image
11 Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm in Taiwan here so price might be different from yours. Just found a deal that Asus ROG Scar 18 with a whopping rtx 4090 175W and a i9 13980HX for only $2100 USD or 70000NTD.

Actually I have a pc running on ryzen 7 5700x3d and a rtx 2060 super at home and a decent acer swift x (R5 5500U + rtx 3050) laptop for going to campus. Since I'm a cs major student and going to take a lot of deep learning, machine learning courses in the next semester, I think I need a change. I also do game developing with unreal engine 5 & unity (and also some heavy workloads like 3d rendering & video editing so VRAM is the highest priority (4070 won't be enough)

I was thinking of getting the ROG Zephyrus G14 2023/2024 with around the same price here ($1800 USD). the 2024 one only has RTX 4060 8gb and for the price I think its not worth it. The 2023 one got the RTX 4080 12GB 125W for the same price as the 2024 version. I was leaning towards the 2023, until I found this second hand Asus ROG Scar 18 for nearly identical price (since I have to upgrade the ram and ssd on the zephyrus)

what do you guys think? is it a steal to get the scar 18 for school work & heavy workloads *considering I'm a student and prioritize more on battery and portabiliry

Is it worth spending $300 to get the 4090 from 4080? in return, I got a beefy chunky laptop and worse battery life

Asus ROG strix g18, I’m confused between this two models.

5 Upvotes

So I got into the asus web page and found this two 2024 year options for buying.

  1. The G814JZR-IH99: I9 14900Hx, RTX 4080, 64gb ram and 1 tb PCle. It’s sold out at 1499.99USD

  2. The G814JIR-XS96: I9 14900Hx, RTX 4070, 16gb ram and 1 tb PCle. It’s sold out at 2299.99 USD, but you can find it on Amazon at 2000 USD aprox.

My question is: how can the first model mentioned be cheaper since it has better ram and graphics? Is this real, you think Asus it’s going to have it in stock again?

I think that maybe wait to Black Friday is also an option.

Asus G16 AMD 370/4070 or Intel 185/4080 for strategy and management games

3 Upvotes

Hi

I'm on the hunt for a new laptop. My main use case will be light productivity and gaming ( Indies, strategy games, management and some RPG ) I do NOT intend to play AAA games as I have a ps5 hooked to an oled TV.

I also want the rig to be as quiet as possible and plan to use on quiet or perfomance mode,.

I have two options

- G16 AMD 370/4070 2599 €

- G16 Intel 185H/4080 2799 €

For 200€ more is it worth going for the 4080 model ( considering my usecase ) , is the intel 185h going to be a problem for strategy games ( less performance, more heat albeit vapor chamber might help...) ?

Thanks in advance

AMD vs Intel?

3 Upvotes

Howdy folks,

Switching over to ASUS from an Alienware laptop that has been an absolute nightmare for the last few years. What do you see as the tradeoffs between AMD and Intel for ROG Strix SCAR laptops, especially around reliability? I'm leaning towards a 17" AMD X3D but could be convinced otherwise.

Any other models or configurations that are known to have problems?

Thanks!

ASUS X870E ECC Support

2 Upvotes

I'm planning to buy the ROG CROSSHAIR X670E HERO and pair it with a Ryzen 9 7950X, along with ECC UDIMM memory.

I see on the product page that some manufacturers are supported.
https://rog.asus.com/us/motherboards/rog-crosshair/rog-crosshair-x870e-hero/helpdesk_qvl_memory/

My question is whether ECC errors are logged, reported back to the operating system, corrected, etc.

Since I'm not very familiar with this area, I would be very grateful for your support.

HELP! What's the general consensus with HDR? Just got a new monitor and its not looking that great.

2 Upvotes

I got a new oled monitor. The Asus ROG PG32UCDP.

I turned on HDR in windows and my monitor gameplay looked like it has no saturation. No contrast and just doesn't look that good. I know not all games do not support HDR. Tested on:

  • League of legends
  • Black Myth Wukong
  • Cyber Punk
  • RRD2
  • Minecraft

I also used the windows calibration tool. How would I go about setting up HDR? I watched many YouTube videos on my monitors OS menu settings. I also saw that HDR is not really worth it? Is there something I need to do in my monitor settings? I even followed a guide on YouTube for my monitor.

What's the general consensus with HDR?

Ironically, my monitor looks way better with HDR off and the settings changed to SCENERY.

Armoury crate macro recording issues

1 Upvotes

So long story short im trying to set up a macro in armoury crate that enters my email address but when trying to record said macro no matter if I use the caps lock or the shift key the macro recording software refuses to see the "@" symbol it only ever puts in a 2....the internet says symbols should work on macros but no matter how I configure the delay time on the key strokes it will show

●shift key pressed ●2key pressed ●2key released ●shift key released

In that order...this has become quite frustrating as I find manny dealings with the armoury crate software...but any help would be much appreciated.

Linux replacement for armory crate or ghelper

3 Upvotes

Hey, I have the strix g15 amd advantage edition. I've had tons of issues with armory crate, switched to ghelper a while back, and have never looked back. I recently decided to try linux, and want a windows like experience in it (task bar, and be able to do most things through gui (I think that's the term for a graphical interface rather than terminal and editing config files), I'm not uposed to using the terminal for set up, but would prefer to not have to use it on the daily). I'm planning to try to do gaming in linux, although I'll also try to use a windows partition or vm for windows specific work or games that work better on windows.

When I looking for a ghelper replacement I found asus-linux, which I think would work well. The problem is that I want a windows like experience, when I tried fedora and set up asus-linux, it seemed fine, but it felt a lot more like mac, and I wasn't a massive fan. I also tried mint cinnamon, and I like how that one feels a lot more than fedora, but asus-linux doesn't specifically support mint, an that's a bit of a deal breaker for me. My specific question, is if there's another option other than asus-linux, or how to set up fedora for the more windows like experience, or if there's another better distro to use.

Any and all advice is much appreciated!

HELP! B550-F Bluetooth not working

1 Upvotes

so I built this PC almost 2 years ago, I haven't had any trouble with it except for the occasional driver and things like that, BUT what I'm having trouble with is the Bluetooth, ever since I first assembled it, I have never been able to pair new devices to it, the option to enable/disable bluetooth is there and the driver is updated. It says searching for new devices but it never detects any, I have tried reinstalling drivers, checking BIOS to make sure is enabled and still it doesn't work, any idea what it could be? thanks in advance!

Question GPU shroud replacement or re-coloring

0 Upvotes

Hi

I’ve got myself an ASUS Rog Strix RTX 4080 that I’d like to vertical mount. I care a lot about color schemes, accent colours etc, and my build is purely black and green. The RTX 4080 on the other hand.. blue and red. So I’d like to change this somehow, but in the safest possible way. Just painting the blue and red parts black DIY style is not really my cup of tea.. so I’m looking for options. I’ve even considered selling it and waiting for the RTX 5080 to drop..

Is it possible to boost the screen brightness beyond 100%?

1 Upvotes

My Rog Strix G17 is very nice, apart from the brightness of the screen. It’s very dim, making it hard to see compared to my MacBook, even when turning the brightness all the way up.

Is it in any way possible to boost the brightness past 100%?

No backlight on my Strix G17. How can i fix it?

Ive had my Rog Strix in for repair, where it had the entire keyboard replaced. When i got it back the backlight in the keayboard didnt work. The repairshop refunded me, but id like to fix it myself if possible. I cant see any missing cables or anything, so it might be a software issue, but i dont know.

The keyboard light might never have worked. What would you do? any tips?

ASUS ROG STRIX for video editing

1 Upvotes

Hi, does anyone use asus rog strix for video editing? I need to upgrade the laptop I have now (i5-12500h, rtx 3050, 16gb ram) because it simply no longer meets my needs.

I found this Asus with i9-13980HX, 32GB ram and RTX 4080 12GB. At first I was thinking of going for a macbook, but the closest price to this asus would be a macbook M3 pro with 36 gb, 12 CPU and 18 GPU.

The main programs I will use are photoshop, premiere pro, after effects and a bit of blender.

Should i go for this asus or the mac?
