The latest AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX CPU, paired with up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU with a max TGP of 140W, as well as a MUX Switch with NVIDIA Advanced Optimus support the backbone of the 2023 Strix G17. Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on the CPU keeps the Strix G17 boosting the processor higher, for longer. 16GB of cutting-edge DDR5 memory keeps your CPU fed at all times, ensuring a responsive experience. PCIe 4.0 SSD support means that you’ll never need to wait for file transfers or game loading screens again. Top-tier components require power, especially when it comes to cutting-edge GPUs. Powered by NVIDIA DLSS 3, ultra-efficient Ada Lovelace arch, Max-Q Technologies, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU is fully unleashed with a max TGP of 140W on Strix G17. Higher power limits unlock even more performance from this cutting-edge silicon, ensuring you have the absolute best gaming experience. The 2023 Strix G17 features Thermal Grizzly’s cutting-edge Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal, which improves heat transfer from the CPU. Compared to traditional thermal pastes, this indium-gallium-based compound​ offers 17X higher conductivity, in addition to CPU temperature reductions of up to 15 degrees. Used exclusively by ROG, this material offers the highest thermal transfer available on a laptop.
