ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 16 (2024) G634JZR / ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) GU605MI-QR194X

ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 16 (2024) G634JZR: G634JZR-RA112X: Intel Core i9-14900HX, GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU 12 GB, 64 GB DDR5, 2 × 2 TB SSD (RAID 0), 16-inch 240 Hz Mini LED display. The RTX 4090 G634JYR and the 2025 G635 series are separate models.

ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) GU605MI-QR194X: GU605MI-QR194X: Core Ultra 9 185H, RTX 4070 Laptop GPU 8 GB (105 W = 85 W + 20 W Dynamic Boost), 32 GB LPDDR5X, 2 TB SSD, 240 Hz OLED, Windows 11 Pro; Platinum White in ASUS’s image. The GU605 series spans SKUs from the RTX 4050 to the 4090 and from the Core Ultra 7 155H to the Core Ultra 9 185H; not every GU605MI SKU has the same memory or display.

Release year20242024
ProcessorIntel Core i9-14900HX; 24 cores (8 performance + 16 efficiency), 32 threads, up to 5.8 GHz, 36 MB cache

Intel lists 55 W base and 157 W maximum turbo power for this processor; the laptop’s actual limit is set by ASUS’s operating mode.

ASUS		Intel Core Ultra 9 185H: 16 cores, 22 threads, 2.3 GHz base, up to 5.1 GHz, 24 MB cache; Intel AI Boost NPU (up to 11 TOPS)

The NPU runs constant AI tasks such as background blur and noise suppression at low power instead of the CPU/GPU.

ASUS
GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU, 12 GB GDDR6; ROG Boost 2330 MHz at 175 W (150 W + 25 W Dynamic Boost)

NVIDIA gives a 60–150 W subsystem power range for this GPU; the 175 W figure includes the 25 W added by Dynamic Boost when CPU load is low. The graphics chip is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be replaced.

ASUS		NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU, 8 GB GDDR6; ROG Boost 1655 MHz at 105 W (85 W + 20 W Dynamic Boost)

Dynamic Boost shifts a 20 W share of power to the GPU when CPU load is low, so 105 W is a conditional ceiling rather than a constant level. In the same series RTX 4060 SKUs are listed at 100 W and RTX 4080/4090 SKUs at 115 W. The GPU is soldered and cannot be upgraded.

ASUS
Display16-inch ROG Nebula HDR Mini LED; 2560 × 1600 (16:10), 240 Hz, 3 ms; DCI-P3 100%, anti-glare surface, G-SYNC, Pantone Validated

The Mini LED backlight dims in zones; Notebookcheck counted 2,048 dimming zones on its test unit. The display supports Dolby Vision HDR.

ASUS		16-inch ROG Nebula OLED, 2560 × 1600 (16:10), 240 Hz, 0.2 ms; 100% DCI-P3; G-Sync; Pantone Validated; anti-glare low-reflection (AGLR) coating

G-Sync matches the refresh to the game’s frame rate to reduce tearing. It is not a touchscreen. Some SKUs in the same series use an IPS-level panel.

ASUS
Graphics switchingMUX Switch + NVIDIA Advanced Optimus

The MUX switch connects the internal display directly to the NVIDIA GPU to reduce latency in games; Advanced Optimus can make this switch without a restart.

ASUS		—
Memory64 GB (2 × 32 GB) DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM; 2 slots, up to 64 GB

Both slots come filled in this configuration; upgrading memory means replacing the modules.

ASUS		32 GB LPDDR5X 7467 MHz, soldered to the board; dual channel; not expandable

Because memory cannot be added later, capacity has to be chosen at purchase.

ASUS
Storage2 TB + 2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD (RAID 0); 2 × M.2 slots

RAID 0 combines the two drives into one volume; speed goes up, but if one drive fails all data can be lost.

ASUS		2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD; 2 M.2 PCIe slots in total (including the one in use)

The second M.2 slot allows an additional SSD.

ASUS
Ports1 × Thunderbolt 4 (DisplayPort, G-SYNC, 40 Gbps), 1 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (DisplayPort, power delivery, G-SYNC), 2 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, 1 × HDMI 2.1 FRL, 1 × 2.5G LAN, 1 × 3.5 mm audio jack

According to Notebookcheck the Thunderbolt 4 port does not accept charging; USB-C charging goes through the other Type-C port at up to 100 W. The LAN port does not support PoE, and there is no SD card reader.

ASUS		1 × Thunderbolt 4 (40 Gb/s, DisplayPort, charging); 1 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (DisplayPort, charging); 2 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A; HDMI 2.1 FRL; SD card reader (UHS-II, 312 MB/s); 3.5 mm combo audio

Both USB-C ports support external displays and charging; there is no Ethernet port.

ASUS notes that Bluetooth features may vary with the OS and drivers.

ASUS
Battery and power90 Wh, 4S1P, 4-cell lithium-ion; 330 W adapter (ø6.0 mm) and 100 W Type-C adapter

According to ASUS the battery reaches 50% in 30 minutes with fast charging. Full GPU power needs the 330 W adapter; the 100 W USB-C adapter is for light use and charging on the go.

ASUS		90 Wh, 4-cell lithium-ion; 200 W adapter with rectangular plug; a 100 W USB-C adapter is also listed

Which adapter is in the box varies by country and model. Full GPU power should not be expected when charging over USB-C.
