For $1400 I can buy a second PC or laptop, put it in an interest-bearing account as a seed find towards my next on in 5 years, or buy a new drone, or camera, TV, or whatever. It's just such a crazy difference for marginal gains that realistically won't be appreciable.

Depends on one's own scoring criteria - factor in improved sound, double RAM, double SSD and better GPU thermals (which could mean even better performance when normalized for fan noise) and it's not $140 just per frame. Also that's just how tech pricing goes - there are always diminishing returns at the high end. All the games are going to be perfectly playable and look amazing on either machine for years to come 👍

I got the Strix 4080 about 2 weeks ago. For me the $2725 (stupid taxes) was twice what I normally spend on new laptops. It hurt some, but it has been quite incredible. I don't like where the power cable plugs into the laptop. You either have to move the cable towards you which bends it, or the cable covers up the left vent. The power cable is about a foot shorter than usual, which means I have to prop it upright on my bed instead of the floor (I'm a truck driver so no table option there). I wish they would have reversed the sides that the USB and USB C are on. The mouse and phone plugs get in my way and gets hit allot (bought a USB C to USB A adapter for that). It does not get hot really, like all other of my MSI and multiple ROG laptops previously. I love how when you turn a game off, the temps drop within a few seconds back to almost idle temps (liquid metal is a godsend). For me having always bought the mid-tear like the MSI G75 3060 (still very nice), but this is a beast. OH, and it's you're fault I broke down and bought this. I had this in my BestBuy cart for several days wanting to click buy and then saying no it's too much money..........until I watched this. So thanks for that.

In addition to the flagship Strix SCAR 18, ROG also launched the Strix SCAR 16 gaming notebook, which is almost identical in appearance and design. It also features a four-sided narrow bezel display, RGB single-point keyboard backlight and the surrounding view light bar and other configurations are much smaller in size and the specification configuration is also lower. Meanwhile, to solve the problem that the keyboard without independent number keys, Strix SCAR 16 utilizes a virtual number keyboard configuration on the touchpad. If you are looking for a more portable gaming laptop with mid-to-high end gaming performance, the smaller Strix SCAR 16 will be a better and affordable choice.

I've seen the prices of the "SCAR 18" and some websites are TAXING even past $4500 for the Scar 18 version. I WANT THE BEST, but for me paying around $1400 (+) for a minimal increase in Performance is NOT WORTH IT FOR ME!!!! I would LOVE TO have the SCAR 18 with the 4090, but the STRIX G18 will suffice for me. Since the introduction of the 40 Series GPU's, vendors have been overcharging for laptops and especially if it has a 4090 in it!!!!

About the coilwhine, it doesn't dissapear, usually it increases(with getting older), but the brain learns to filter out continous sounds after a while, therefore many people start NOT hearing it anymore. And if you are older or have ear damage, you don't hear those frequencies anymore anyways... This is very noticeable when you don't hear it, but you take your laptop with you on work, all the colleagues are annoyed by it...even though I don' hear it anymore. I had to send the laptop back for this reason. Coil whine is a problem not only for yourself but also for everyone around you... This is a real quality problem that should not have happened. I also heard that it might be the atmos speakers getting interference when high voltage is applied from the battery. When connected to the mains the coil whining seems to be lower or non-existent. Did asus mention something about this? Are they fixing this for the next gen?

Overall to me 4090 seems to have a larger gap to 4080 than 3080 had to 3070 in 2021 laptop models. Back then 12% performance gain required ~20% more power to the GPU and from the wall - something we also pay for unless having own solar panels. Now this performance gain comes at the same GPU power thanks to a larger chip. Perhaps this results in lower GPU thermals, which could mean even more FPS gain if normalized for fan noise.

As indicated by another review (BIBA Laptops), 4090 has a larger chip which has more area to release the heat, which causes lower temperatures on 4090, which also gives it more thermal room for overclocking. That actually would mean 4090 might in practice have more overclocking potential than 4080.

@andadore443 Жыл бұрын

but after all, everything depends on the TDP, which cannot be increased

@darginmahkum3190 Жыл бұрын

@@andadore443 I guess might depend on total thermal headroom. If you are also pushing your CPU which is most probably also connected to the same pipes or vapor chamber, the GPU might hit the thermal limit before it hits the power limit, I am not sure how the equation is set with all parameters included. You might be right, too.

@sebkeccu4546 6 ай бұрын

The extra area doesn't allow more heat to dissipate, because the extra area also generates extra heat (more cuda cores). Therefore the heat dissipation remains the same. But there is a caveat, the 4090 has a minimum tdp of 80w versus 60w on the 4080, this makes the 4090 always hotter then the 4080.

The cost difference for the 4090 is just not worth it. If you get the G18 and need good cpu thermals, you'll probably have to re-apply the liquid metal. Lots of folks report subpar application from the factory (myself included). Correcting this gets thermals in line and with a decent undervolt I can get a 35k run in R23. the 10 minute loop ends up around 34k after thermal saturation. I added a 4TB drive and doubled my ram with a small boost in ram speed and still came out over 1k cheaper than the 4090 variant.

I am going to upgrade from an old Lenovo legion laptop with a 1660ti and an i7 to either an Asus m16 with a 12th gen i9 and 3070ti or to an Asus Strix G18 with a 13th gen i9 and 4070 which would you recommend? I was concerned with the thermal issues of the m16. But I have also heard that 4070 is not much better than 3070ti

@GizmoSlipTech Жыл бұрын

I would buy the Strix G18 for the better thermals, Frame Generation, better CPU, and bigger display-but it is larger in size. That is the biggest difference

I tested today ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 geforce 4080 on benchmark, and temperature was very hight around 82 с and peak 95 с temperature, are this normal for work? won't my computer go bad if I play games or work in 3d programs? Or for example work in unreal engine, icompare with lenovo legion 7 pro geforce 4080, is 16 diagonal, but not so hot.

For those concerned about coil whine on the G18, i just got mine today and its so minimal on my unit i had to press my ear up against the machine to barely hear it. I heard from a reddit post that Asus revised the powerbrick in a way that reduces coil whine. Not sure if its true, but the newer batches are much less likely to have bad coil whine from what im seeing

I’ve had the 4080 version for about 2 weeks. No coil whine, so I’m wondering if they indeed fixed that issue. Also, almost no light bleed on the screen either.

Probably would go for the G18, but I will NOT go for the nVidia pricing scam. No upgrade this iteration and maybe not the one thereafter either. For my needs, fps over 120 is completely wasted on me. Actually, 60 fps is mostly fine on the games I play with RT and high settings. Laptops were a bargain during the mining boom. Not now.

The 4090 is more efficient at the same wattage vs the 4080. So at the same power, the 4090 will be a little bit cooler. Its also on a physically bigger die, allowing more surface area to transfer heat to the heatsink. The thermal paste or liquid metal could have been applied better on the 4090 version also. Gerrads tech youtube channel has a video comparing 4080 vs 4090. You can see everything u need in that video. Search it

@greebj Жыл бұрын

Think about % increase in unit cost vs % increase in observed performance, for better perspective. Think how long you'll want to keep the laptop (it's speculative, but more VRAM/bus more cores and slightly lower operating temps - since both 4080M and 4090M are limited to the same max TGP of 175W - should help it stay functional and relevant for longer). Unlike laptops of last decade, there is no potential for upgrade. No opportunity to buy midrange and do a mid-life upgrade to a high end GPU, when performance starts lagging behind. So what you buy is what you get, there will be no relatively cheap 'trade-up' options these days. You may be able to justify the premium for the 4090M based on sane considerations and pricing, the Eluktronics Mech16/Mech17 is a similar markup over the 4080M. For comparison though, $1400usd here though when they're both gimped by display res and CPU power limit, and bundled with extra RAM/SSD you might not need (or can probably get cheaper elsewhere) is clearly not worth it.

@arnikinphommatha6845 Жыл бұрын

Yeah another thing holding me back from getting the Lenovo pro 7i with the 4080 is that it comes with only 12 Gb of vram while the 4090 comes with 16 gb if the 4080 came with 16 I would’ve bought it already

I probably won't ever go back to desktop. You do lose alot of upgradeability with a gaming laptop but the fact that you can game anywhere that has a power outlet is such a plus with me, and with these particular ones its high end desktop equivalent. It's a great choice for people that just want a gaming machine they can travel with, if price isn't an issue I would pick a gaming laptop over a console, definitely.

@greebj Жыл бұрын

its depends. Huge giant heavy DTR (biggest of the big, 6kg 2inch thick Clevo with desktop CPU + 2x GPUs) works for me. I have had multiple workplaces for 15+ years, hate being tethered to the same desk all day long, don't game on battery, am never that far away from a power outlet, and I am massively impatient so NEED powerful hardware. The GPU power is also nice to play games with. That level of luggability is all I need. The only problem with having work and play on the same machine is discipline lol. I write it off as a business expense over 3 years against income tax and hold it for years more so the annualised cost of ownership is not as bad as the initial pricetag suggests. If anyone from the tax dept is reading, what I meant to say was I use those GPUs only for business activities such as video encoding and running 3x 4K displays.
