Next-gen graphicsGreat gaming machines need a great GPU, so we equipped the SCAR 18 with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU. Featuring a max TGP of 175W with Dynamic Boost, support of Advanced Optimus, and access to the latest AI acceleration tools including DLSS 4 and Frame Generation, this GPU can power your gaming to never before seen heights. NVIDIA Advanced OptimusWith NVIDIA Advanced Optimus, the laptop can automatically route frames from the discrete GPU directly to the display using a MUX switch, bypassing the integrated graphics. This pathing improves performance by 5-10% compared to machines without a MUX Switch, making sure you get the absolute best gaming experience-all without needing touch a single button.
This automatic switching also preserves your machine's battery life, as it can dynamically transition between the high-power discrete GPU and the lower power integrated GPU. No matter what you're doing, your machine will switch to the most optimized mode without you having to lift a finger.
