ROG and TUF Gaming bring RTX to everyone with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 and RTX 3050 Ti gaming laptops

When NVIDIA introduced RTX technology to laptops with the GeForce 20 Series, ROG was ready with a range of new models. Armed with support for real-time ray tracing and performance-enhancing DLSS, these machines pushed the boundaries of what gamers could expect in portable form factors.

The latest GeForce 30 Series breaks new ground for gaming performance, and we introduced a full fleet of gaming laptops based on them at CES 2021. Now, that family is growing to reach an even bigger audience with more accessible GeForce RTX 3050 and RTX 3050 Ti laptop GPUs. They’re powered by Ampere, the second generation of NVIDIA’s RTX architecture, which combines new streaming multiprocessors with second-gen RT cores and third-gen Tensor cores to enable the most realistic ray-traced graphics and advanced AI features. These improvements push frame rates to new heights while making visuals more lifelike, and they’re backed by support for NVIDIA Reflex technologies that lower latency in select multiplayer games and NVIDIA Broadcast effects that add instant polish to live streams.

The GeForce RTX 3050 and RTX 3050 Ti bring RTX enhancements and rendering muscle to everyone. With a diverse range of designs to suit different needs, our updated laptop lineup makes it easier than ever to get in the game. Need extreme portability and flexibility? The 13” ROG Flow X13 is a 2-in-1 convertible with credible gaming prowess on its own, plus top-of-the-line performance when it’s connected to the ultraportable XG Mobile eGPU. Versatile ROG Zephyrus laptops offer professional style and speedy performance in thin and lightweight designs available in multiple sizes. And the Strix G series applies ROG DNA with a tighter focus on gaming, esports, and customizable style.

TUF Gaming laptops put high performance and essential features into durable designs that remain within the reach even more gamers. The TUF Dash F15 makes thin-and-light gaming accessible to a broad audience. Gamers who want more performance per dollar can find it in the TUF Gaming A series and F series, which stand ready in a variety of configurations and sizes.

Your next gaming laptop awaits. Read on to find the right fit for your needs.

ROG enhances every aspect of your experience

ROG gaming laptops elevate your game with the latest components, innovative cooling, and stylish designs. They immerse you in fluid frame rates and high-fidelity worlds, even with the latest titles, and the Flow and Zephyrus series are also equipped to excel at content creation and more.

We pair the GeForce RTX 3050 and RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPUs with the latest generation of CPUs, including 11^th Gen Intel Core and AMD Ryzen 5000 Series processors. ROG Intelligent Cooling technologies help to extract maximum performance from these cutting-edge platforms. Our patented process applies liquid metal thermal compound to accelerate heat transfer away from the CPU. New Arc Flow fans have special tips that follow an aerodynamic wave pattern to reduce turbulence, and with 0dB Technology, they can turn off completely when CPU and GPU temperatures are low. These additions combine with other cooling upgrades to deliver high FPS in the latest games, remain quiet even as the fans engage, and stay cool under your fingertips.

The display is your window into everything you do on a laptop, and this year’s screens take the experience to the next level. High refresh rates and quick response times are available across the lineup. So is Adaptive-Sync, which synchronizes the display’s refresh rate with the GPU’s frame rate to enable a more immersive gaming experience that minimizes input lag, reduces stuttering, and eliminates screen tearing. Some models are available with a new breed of WQHD panels that combine crisp visuals with a blazing-fast 165Hz refresh rate, 3ms response time, and full coverage of the cinema-grade DCI-P3 color gamut. ROG Flow and Zephyrus laptops can also be equipped with Pantone Validated displays that guarantee color accuracy for those looking for a laptop that does double duty as a gaming rig and a creative studio.

Audio improvements augment your experience even further. All 2021 ROG gaming laptops support Dolby Atmos technology, which uses optimized audio processing algorithms to deliver fuller, clearer sound from the built-in speakers. Atmos also enables virtual 5.1.2-channel output that simulates a surround-sound setup with precise, layered audio that can be tuned with presets for movies and games. This mode really shines with headphones and headsets, putting you right in the middle of the action. For clear communication with friends, squadmates, and coworkers, Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation eliminates 95% of background noise with uncanny accuracy. It can be applied to any mic and even to audio output, which extends the advanced filtering algorithm to incoming feeds. Hear teammates more clearly and ensure that they can hear you, too.

Despite adding more features, many of our new gaming laptops are smaller than last year. This greater focus on portability extends to the battery, where we’re equipping up to 90Wh in some configurations. The entire 2021 ROG laptop lineup supports rapid charging that gets you back on the road fast. You can also charge from Type-C devices like smaller adapters and USB power packs, providing even greater flexibility.

Go with the ROG Flow X13

Our first gaming 2-in-1, the ROG Flow X13, is the perfect landing place for the GeForce RTX 3050 and RTX 3050 Ti. This ultraslim 13” convertible notebook boasts an AMD processor up to the eight-core Ryzen 9 5980HS, yet it’s a mere 15.8mm thin and weighs only 1.3kg (2.9lb). Despite the ultraportable form factor, our efficient cooling system allows the RTX 3050 Ti to clock up to 1135MHz at 35W with ROG Boost, with another 5W available from Dynamic Boost. Configs with the GeForce RTX 3050 run that GPU up to 1157MHz at 35W with ROG Boost, and they can draw another 5W through Dynamic Boost.

The 360° hinge maximizes touchscreen viewing and interaction, making it easy to quickly flip from laptop mode into tablet, stand, and tent modes for drawing, gaming, and presenting. Two 16:10 display options give you the choice between a 120Hz panel that makes gameplay smoother and an Ultra HD 4K alternative with richer detail for creativity and entertainment.

While the internal GPU is ready for everyday gaming, the optional ROG XG Mobile eGPU turns the Flow X13 into a gaming powerhouse. This external graphics processor is a fraction of the size of typical eGPUs, yet it houses a top-of-the-line GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU running on 150W. Our custom PCIe 3.0 x8 interface connects the XG Mobile directly to the CPU at speeds that Thunderbolt can’t match. The same cable also includes a dedicated USB 3.2 Gen 2 link to feed an integrated I/O hub with enough connectivity to power a complete desktop setup.

With exceptional flexibility, easy portability, and all-day battery life, the ROG Flow X13 is ready for everything. Game, connect, and create anywhere, while keeping desktop-class power in your bag.

Banish bezels on the ROG Zephyrus M16

Gamers use their PCs for a wide range of activities that extends beyond gaming and into creating. The ROG Zephyrus M16 is built to be just as versatile.

It starts with a captivating display framed by super-narrow bezels on all four sides. The immersive 94% screen-to-body ratio fits a 16” screen inside a slim chassis that’s smaller than last year’s 15” Zephyrus M15. For fluid, richly detailed visuals in games, the panel combines a high WQHD resolution with a fast 165Hz refresh rate and 3ms response time. The display is also an ideal canvas for artists thanks to a taller 16:10 aspect ratio and Pantone-validated colors across 100% of the cinema-grade DCI-P3 color gamut.

Next-gen components give the Zephyrus M16 the performance to tackle any task. The latest processors up to an 11th Gen Intel Core i9-11900H drive high-refresh-rate gaming and give you multithreaded muscle for content creation, while GeForce 30 Series Laptop GPUs supply formidable graphics power. The GeForce RTX 3050 Ti runs at up to 1585MHz at 60W with ROG Boost, with another 15W available from Dynamic Boost.

The Zephyrus M16 is a luxuriously thin and light companion. Draped in sultry Off Black, with lustrous Prismatic Film peeking through CNC-milled perforations in the lid, it’s a subtle stunner that communicates style and professionalism wherever you go.

Rediscover the ROG Zephyrus G14

The original Zephyrus G14 turned heads by balancing performance and portability in a sleek and stylish package. The new 2021 edition builds on that foundation with updated components that enhance gaming and more.

Our latest Zephyrus G14 is supercharged with up to a Ryzen 9 5900HS processor. It’s available with GeForce RTX 3050 Ti and GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPUs that make RTX graphics technologies attainable for every gamer. The RTX 3050 Ti runs at up to 1585MHz at 60W with ROG Boost, with 15W more available from Dynamic Boost, while the RTX 3050 runs at up to 1600MHz and 60W with ROG Boost, plus 15W extra via Dynamic Boost.

Two new display options complement the more powerful hardware. The WQHD panel is now available with a 120Hz refresh rate and wide DCI-P3 color gamut, offering super-smooth gameplay, crisp detail, and pro-grade color that’s ideal for video production. Gamers who want maximum fluidity can choose a faster Full HD option that now scales up to 144Hz, a 20% increase over the previous generation.

Express your personality with a choice of colors and treatments. The G14 comes in Holographic White and Holographic Gray designs that put subtle prismatic shimmer behind over 6,500 precision-milled perforations in the aluminum lid. Or you can opt for the same colors with our innovative AniMe Matrix™ display. This array of 1,215 programmable mini-LEDs on the lid replaces shimmer with customizable shine that can show images, animations, visualizations, and more.

Be game for anything with the ROG Zephyrus G15

With a precise balance of power and portability, the ROG Zephyrus G15 offers accessible versatility for gamers and creators. It wears the same shimmering aesthetic as the Holographic G14 but makes room for a larger 15” display. The WQHD panel with a silky 165Hz refresh rate and quick 3ms response time relieves gamers of having to choose between greater detail and faster performance. Full coverage of the wider DCI-P3 color space enables vivid, lifelike color that’s factory calibrated and Pantone Validated to ensure accuracy.

Like its smaller sibling, the Zephyrus G15 is powered by AMD processors up to the Ryzen 9 5900HS. The slim chassis and thermal module have enough headroom to take the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti up to 1585MHz at 60W with ROG Boost, with 15W more available from Dynamic Boost. The GeForce RTX 3050 config runs at up to 1600MHz at 60W with ROG Boost, plus 15W extra through Dynamic Boost.

A suite of quality-of-life additions make the G15 a compelling all-arounder for everyday life. The touchpad is 20% larger and 40% more responsive than the previous generation, so navigation is a breeze. The quiet Stealth Type keyboard keeps a low profile even when you’re mashing keys. And when it’s time to pack up, the large 90Wh battery with fast charging and support for USB Type-C power easily keep up with a busy schedule.

Excel in esports on the ROG Strix G15 and G17

The new ROG Strix G15 and G17 offer exciting options built for play. They stand on their own in the style department with three unique takes on the same underlying shape. Original Black and Eclipse Gray variants both have a diagonal dot-matrix design across the keyboard deck and aluminum-capped lid, while Electro Punk makes a bolder statement with Coded Puzzle aesthetic and speckled pink accent. All three let you pick your own colors with a wrap-around light bar and keyboard illuminated by Aura Sync.

Configurations with the GeForce RTX 3050 and RTX 3050 Ti use AMD processors up to the Ryzen 7 5800H. Together, these chips drive high FPS in games, while Adaptive-Sync displays up to 300Hz immerse you in every moment of the action. The RTX 3050 Ti runs at up to 1795MHz at 80W with ROG Boost, with 15W more available from Dynamic Boost, while the RTX 3050 clocks up to 1840MHz and 80W with ROG Boost, and can draw 15W more when Dynamic Boost is engaged.

The 2021 Strix G15 and G17 have smaller footprints than last year. Despite more compact chassis, they’re filled with features. The touchpads are 85% larger than the previous generation.
