Hi,
welcome back, I’m a donkey . When it comes to ROG’s top performance gaming notebooks with full CPU and graphics card cooling , you must not miss the annual Strix SCAR series . What’s on our table now is the big facelift this year. ROG Strix SCAR 16 and ROG Strix SCAR 18, which we will see later , 16 and 18 represent the size of the screen. For example , 16 corresponds to 16 inches, and 18 corresponds to 18 inches. These two machines are already in our hands. It has been tested for more than a month, and the test time is still relatively long . Today, I will talk about the actual performance of these two devices in detail. First , I will briefly introduce the basic specifications , so that everyone can feel how powerful the performance is. The CPU part uses one of the current top Intel. Core i9-13980HX is the processor positioned by Intel for extreme performance on the laptop end. It is positioned higher than the high-performance version of the general H45 . Compared with i9-13900H, i9-13980HX has 2 more P-cores. The focus is on E-cores. The number of cores is pulled from 8 E-cores to 16. The number of cores is basically comparable to the i9-13900K of the desktop platform . Of course, there must still be a difference in wattage. After all, the size difference is so large , but this scale is still very large. The graphics card is Both are equipped with the full-blooded GeForce RTX 4080 and 4090 with a maximum of 175W . Simply put, they are currently the top CPU and GPU configurations . The point is that this year ’s Strix SCAR 16 also uses the top-level Mini LED display , which is the latest with 1024 partitions. Compared with last year, the performance of most of the 512 partitions has doubled. However, I believe everyone has seen the real highlights of these two machines this year. The key point is the price. As the top performance choice , both RTX 4080s are 98,999 yuan Strix The RTX 4090 of Scar 18 is 119,999 yuan , but this is not the end . The point is that at present, all e-commerce companies and channels have corresponding discounts. Compared with the versions introduced by other models with similar positioning this year, the asking price of ROG is at least 14.56 million. Bo’s CP value rose in an instant. I guess it’s also because of the good price. As soon as these two machines were launched for sale, many people were knocking on the bowl to test them. In short , let’s take a look at the actual performance. Overall, this time ROG The design of Strix SCAR 16 and SCAR 18 is similar . The A side also adopts the whole black metal cover , with the ROG Logo on the classic large oblique cut . The big eye of faith RGB Logo is of course also retained. The big difference this time is actually that the RGB light bar has been changed from the down-illuminated RGB of the previous generation to the current one. That’s right, you can see that the two after the change have a whole strip of RGB in the rear hinge area. The light strip should also be used to emphasize the momentum of the air outlet adjustment , and it is quite sincere that the number of light beads in the entire rear row is also enough . How do you know? You can know the number of light beads that can be adjusted by AURA Creator , so it can be composed. Very smooth rainbow cycle . I think the new rear RGB light strip design is more modern and neat . When paired with the Strix SCAR series, the classic full-circle RGB light strip on the front is usually quietly watching the RGB light on the table . The mood is very comfortable and healing. In short , when it comes to RGB, you can definitely believe that the appearance of ROG also has the classic SCAR series replacement armor nameplate design, and you can also customize it to replace it . But compared to the appearance, I think it is more important this time. The change is actually the screen. Let’s talk about it in detail . Both screens have been changed this year. They have been replaced with ROG Nebula gaming screens. Let’s disassemble one by one. Let’s briefly compare the specifications . The Strix SCAR 16 is replaced with a Mini LED backlight screen , while the Strix SCAR 18 is maintained with a normal LCD backlight screen. Both resolutions are 2K and the update rate has reached 240Hz , but the color gamut has been improved. Strix SCAR 18 has increased from about 80% of DCI-P3 coverage last year to 100% version. The measured maximum brightness can reach 500 nits , which is considered a very good performance of LCD . If you are more pursuing the screen The performance of the Strix SCAR 16 has been changed from a normal LCD to a Mini LED backlight technology, which also achieves 100% DCI-P3 wide color gamut . As you all know, we have recently replaced it with a total value of 10,000 US dollars . Screen test equipment and Software We will measure the color gamut and color accuracy performance in detail later. But before that, I would like to talk about the difference between the Mini LED of Strix SCAR 16. Simply speaking, the backlight of the LCD screen in the past is always on. ( Of course, there is also a solution to control the brightness through voltage. Here I mainly want to talk about the limitation of Global Dimming), that is, only on and off, so when you turn off the light, you can see that the black is not pure black , but blue light . The most advantage of the new Mini LED is that its lamp bead array can be independently controlled on and off , so when the screen is black , the lamp beads can be completely turned off to achieve high contrast , which also makes the light and dark contrast of the screen more advantageous . However, Mini LED also has An important specification to pay attention to is the number of partitions . That is, although there are thousands of Mini LED lamp beads at the back , how many zones can be divided into control switches ? For example, if there are only 9 zones that are also partitioned backlight , but each zone is too large , there is no way For Strix SCAR 16 , the Mini LED used this time is one of the Mini LED solutions in the market. AUO’s AmLED partitions have also doubled from 512 partitions last year to 1,024 partitions. Light control partitions will make the overall light-dark contrast more delicate when displaying such low light source scenes , and the biggest advantage of Mini LED is the brightness performance . In terms of current laptop screens, the traditional LCD is better , about 500 to 600 nits OLED The peak value is usually around 600 to 700 nits , and the Mini LED of this Strix SCAR 16 ASUS has a peak brightness of 1100 nits , and it has passed the VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification . Of course, our own measurement is more accurate . After our actual measurement, the full white screen can reach 680 nits , and the peak brightness can reach 1370 nits , surpassing ASUS’s official label. There is no false label . After all , the peak value of Mini LED is still the strongest one, which is amazing . It goes without saying that Mini LED is more transparent However, limited by the number of partitioned backlights , the system will automatically reduce the brightness of the backlight when displaying a small area of the screen to avoid the industry’s biggest enemy , Halo, or halo, which is one of the current limitations of Mini LED . Let’s also measure the color gamut in detail here. And the preset native mode ROG Strix Scar 16’s color gamut coverage reaches 100% sRGB, 91% Adobe RGB and 99% DCI-P3 color gamut. The color gamut performance is up to the standard. The key point is to see the color standard. In the default mode , the average Delta E reaches 1.46 , the value is less than 2, which means that the color accuracy is good. We also tested several built-in color profiles . You can adjust the color gamut options through the Armory Crate. From the results, sRGB DCI-P3 Display P3 has both The corresponding color gamut is limited , and the average Delta E has reached <2 performance. The screen performance is fully up to standard. Then we see that the color gamut of ROG Strix Scar 18 is also good, reaching 100% sRGB , 86% Adobe RGB and 98% DCI-P3. It’s still color accuracy. The average Delta E is only 0.96 and less than 2. It’s very strong. If it ’s less than 1, it’s a very good performance . The test results in all color gamut modes are also provided here for your reference. The color accuracy in all modes is also available online. As far as ROG is not sloppy in the display adjustment of these two screens, if there is a creative need, it can also be competent. In other words, this time ROG is quite sincere . We have called for a whole year to replace the Scar series with a 16:10 screen. Let’s cut it. It is more comfortable to browse the web at 16:10. There is one more row of editing, and more lines are read when browsing documents. I think the only difference is biometrics . Then the camera is replaced with Window Hello, which will be more fragrant. In addition, the response time of the two screens also reaches 3ms. Of course, there is ROG The standard Adaptive-Sync adaptive synchronization technology supports G-SYNC HDR part. It can successfully turn on dual Dolby on Netflix , including Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos . After watching the screen performance , let’s look at another highlight of this year. I think it is a change in thermal design . If you still have impressions , you should remember that we mentioned in the video at the ROG CES presentation that ROG this year suppressed the 13th generation i9 + 40 series , which is a monster that brings together two powerful beasts. Specifications They also redesigned the cooling system of the 2023 series notebooks this year . Let me review it for you. The main improvements can be divided into three . The first ring-shaped air outlet design, the second full-size radiator and the third three-fan cooling system. Air outlet design Simply put , you can see that ROG Strix SCAR, whether it is the 16 or 18 version, has air duct openings on three sides of the two units , which are combined to form an entire circular air duct design. The second is called the full-size radiator . We open it directly. It’s clearer to see. Friends who are familiar with laptops should have seen that there is actually a whole row of cooling fins on it. Compared with last year’s Strix SCAR 17, it is very clear . Usually the fins are only placed on two air outlets , but now the entire row Yeah, the entire row has a total of 374 cooling fins, and the Strix SCAR 18 has 414 cooling fins. Don’t ask me how I know , it must be one by one. Just open the ROG official website and look directly , but this material can only be used extremely To describe it as luxurious , and in order to release this large-sized fin , they pulled out the PCB that was placed on the upper row, so from the rear side , the air outlet is very domineering , and the main heat dissipation hardware is also stacked There are a total of 7 sets of heat pipes in the whole set , with two sets of fans on the left and right , and the fans also have a dust-proof filter design , which can slow down the accumulation of dust. Finally, you can see that ROG has also added a third heat pipe at the bottom. The fan is mainly to improve the design of the internal air duct , thereby improving the overall heat dissipation efficiency. By the way, from the thermal image , it can be seen that ROG has also done heat dissipation on the keyboard surface this time. The temperature of the WASD key area will be relatively low. Control it at about 30 degrees , and you won’t feel the palm of your hand during operation . In other words, the entire body arrangement of Strix SCAR 16 is still very compact , while Strix SCAR 18 is much more calm . After all, the performance of the 13th generation Intel and GeForce RTX 40 series this year The power consumption ratio is good, and there is no pressure on hardware stacking. By the way, the layout of the two versions of Strix SCAR 16 and SCAR 18 this year should be close to the same as the design of the motherboard PCB. The main reason is that the small boards and batteries are widened through the cables The distance between the components and the main board is a small surprise . This year, ROG has integrated the light bar cable on the D side into the interior. There is no cable connected to the back cover , so you don’t have to worry about damaging the light bar cable when you open the cover. Add screws There is also an automatic lifting design. If the player wants to expand the SSD or change the RAM by himself, it will be much easier . I give a good review, but this year’s tightness is very good . It is recommended to use a simple disassembly tool to pry the buckle, and the hands will not hurt. On the I/O ports , the number and configuration of Strix SCAR 16 and SCAR 18 are exactly the same. There are two Type A ports for USB 3.2 Gen 2 on the right side . Because the rear is all reserved for cooling fins, so this time the power supply is Moved to the left side , try to place it as far back as possible . Next is a 2.5GbE RJ45 network jack. A full-blooded HDMI 2.1 supports up to 4K 120Hz or 8K 60Hz image output . Then there is a USB that supports Thunderbolt 4. C also supports DP G-SYNC screen output. Next, the C hole also supports DP screen output and supports PD charging. The measured 65W and 100W PD chargers can be successfully charged , and both of them can reach a maximum fast charging wattage of 95-96W. You can bring a small size PD charger when using it in a foreign language. You don’t need to bring a big transformer . Finally, there is a 3.5mm audio jack. The overall jack configuration is still enough for gaming . HDMI 2.1, TB4 2.5G network needs The specifications of the sockets are also provided . In terms of weight , the Strix SCAR 16 is about 2.58 kg for a single machine, and it is about 3.7 kg after adding the charger . The Strix SCAR 18 is 3.1 kg for a single machine , and about 4.2 kg after adding the charger . The weight of the two The whole is the size and weight of a beast. The upper covers of the two models can be opened and closed with one hand . The design of the D side is also very handsome. You can also see the thicker rubber strips on the bottom to help heat dissipation and leave space . Finally, the C side is the same as before . The same micro-transparent body design The surface is made of fine matte coating, which feels comfortable to the touch. There are four shortcut buttons that I like very much. You can also customize it if you want . The power button is on the upper right side. By the way, the KeyStone slot is gone this year. The keyboard part is Strix SCAR 18 There is also the independent number key Strix SCAR 16 that everyone likes. Because of the size, there is no such thing as ROG , but ROG has added NumberPad, which is the virtual number key on the touchpad . The direction keys of the two sets return to full size . In terms of the keyboard feel , both of them are ROG’s classic thin film, which is biased towards Q. The two sets will also have a small current sound when they are in standby , but our two sets should be close to the machine as a whole. You can only hear it when you hear it , so it’s okay . The keyboards of both are also Per Key RGB, so you can program your favorite lighting effects. There are already many ROG preset lighting effects in the system . You can choose the last touchpad, both of them have it. The enlarged design area is enough. The touch surface is fine and smooth, and the trigger is neat . And it is a silent design. It is not noisy or disturbing . ROG’s touchpads in recent generations are relatively worry-free. Then we will go directly to the real key performance test . Bang The ROG Strix SCAR 16 and SCAR 18 in Ni’s hand use the same specifications in the CPU part. They are equipped with the 13th generation Intel Core HX series notebook processor i9-13980HX with the highest specifications released this year , which is also P-core. + E-core's large and small core design has reached an astonishing 8 P-cores plus 16 E-cores to form a 24-core 32-thread architecture. The cache has also been pulled to 36M during ROG tuning. The maximum TDP has also reached 65W. In addition to the wattage of the graphics card, the TDP of the entire TURBO mode has reached a very impressive 230W. Manual mode can even reach an astonishing 240W. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a monster of performance , and the CPU also uses a new generation of violent bear liquid metal. Strengthen CPU heat dissipation. In accordance with international practice , let’s test Cinebench R23 first. The two CPUs are the same. They are both Intel Core i9-13980HX , which scored 2141 points in single-core and an astonishing 30392 points in multi-core . Intel’s toothpaste this year is still the same. I’m stepping on it. Compared with last year’s top CPU choice for laptops, i9-12950HX , the single-core has a 12.6% improvement, and the multi-core benefited from the configuration of 16 E-cores. The improvement has reached an astonishing 54.2%. The i9-12900H is 61.3% faster , so if you are upgrading from another generation, the i9-13980HX this time is 2.46 times faster than the i9-11900H. It can only be said that this performance release is really ridiculous . The point is that this time many people say that i9 -13980HX is the generation that puts the desktop CPU into the laptop. It is not an exaggeration at all . Let’s compare the desktop processors. The multi-core completely surpasses the 12th generation. The top choice of the desktop i9-12900K is 11% faster. The gap between the i7-13700K is only 6/1000 . Whether it is single-core or multi-core performance , it has already left the 10th generation desktop platform behind. I can only say that although it is not surprising , this one The peak performance of the CPU is really amazing , but of course there is an upper limit for laptops , which is heat dissipation. We will talk about it later. First, let’s look at the graphics card Strix SCAR 16. Currently, the Taiwan version only has one specification, which is GeForce RTX 4080. Strix SCAR 18 has two specifications. The two versions are GeForce RTX 4080 and the top GeForce RTX 4090, all of which are full-blooded 175W, that is, 150W. After adding Dynamic Boost , you don’t have to worry about the maximum performance release of 175W. Today, we also prepared GeForce RTX 4080 Strix respectively. SCAR 16 and GeForce RTX 4090’s Strix SCAR 18 let everyone see the difference and how to choose. Theoretical performance. Let’s first look at 3DMark Time Spy . Strix SCAR 16 with RTX 4080 scored 18,574 points, and Strix SCAR 18 scored 20,379 points for RTX 4090 Compared with RTX 4080, there is about a 9.7% difference. This generation of 40 series has a better energy consumption ratio . Compared with RTX 3080 Ti, the top laptop end last year, it is 36.8% worse than RTX 4090. It is 50% worse than RTX 4090. You can see The peak performance improvement to the 40 series is very impressive and satisfactory. In addition, since last year, all ROG series have also been equipped with MUX for direct connection . Just enable the output mode of the independent display in Armory Crate. Direct connection through the MUX The switch can fully release the full performance of the graphics card and effectively reduce the delay. For example , we directly measured CS: GO, which is sensitive to delay, and we can see that the RTX 4080 was originally an average of 391FPS. After turning on the MUX, it directly broke through the average of 635FPS, which is very fierce . And RTX 4090 Here, the average 429FPS has broken through the average 713FPS, not to mention martial arts, but the same suggestion is still the same . If you want to take it out and use it for longer battery life , it is recommended to turn off the direct connection of the independent display and select the GPU in the Armory Crate. The energy-saving mode can effectively improve battery life performance . In the memory part, both of them use SK Hynix’s 16+16 dual-channel DDR5 4800 memory with a total of 32GB. The storage space part of the Strix SCAR 16 uses a single Samsung 1TB PCIe 4.0 The measured read and write speeds of the SSD can respectively reach 7000MB/s read and nearly 5200MB/s write . There is also an m.2 slot on the right side that can be expanded by itself. The measured speed of a Samsung 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD group RAID 0 is super fast , reaching 13205MB/s read and 9300MB/s write . At the same time, Bonnie also measured two fans running at full speed in extreme speed mode , and they both fall at about 55-57db About this level , the noise control is still relatively good performance. In addition , this year, these two models also support 0db heat dissipation , that is, the system will completely turn off the fan in the temperature wall, and rely on its own body fin heat pipe for passive heat dissipation . By the way, This year, there is also a fan shortcut key design. You can directly adjust the fan speed through the keyboard . Bonnie also directly ran 3DMark Time Spy for 20 rounds to test GeForce RTX 4080's Strix SCAR 16. The stability reached 97%, and the GPU temperature fell around 85 degrees throughout the process. And Strix SCAR 18's GeForce RTX 4090 here It is 98% stable and the GPU is controlled at 88 degrees. The cooling performance of the two machines is relatively stable . Bonnie also actually measured the body temperature. The highest temperature on the front of the Strix SCAR 16 is about 47.9 degrees , but the temperature of the entire button area is well controlled. Very good, thanks to the heat dissipation design on the keyboard surface , the entire surface is controlled at about 30 degrees. Although the Strix SCAR 18 has a larger heat dissipation volume advantage, the heat generation of GeForce RTX 4090 is still higher, and the keyboard surface is also controlled at a maximum of 53.5 degrees. It’s not bad, it’s all around 30 degrees . The overall body temperature control can be regarded as a reasonable temperature range for this performance level . Well, after reading the theoretical performance, Bonnie will then test the performance in the real environment . First, test the professional performance required by general 4K editing. It is a 4K original film with a total length of 10 minutes. After simple color correction and sound mixing , the final 4K output is also used. The NVIDIA Studio version of the driver is also used . Generally, users can refer to this test result for 4K editing. In this project , it is mainly about GPU acceleration , so you can Seeing that the CUDA scale of the RTX 4080 is actually the same as the RTX 3080 Ti, both have 7424 CUDA cores , so it can be seen that the output seconds are exactly the same , and the RTX 4090 is of course faster . Compared with RTX4080 and RTX 3080 Ti is 9% faster than RTX 4070, which is 62% faster. This is why I suggest that if you have serious creative needs , at least RTX 4080 will be the choice with higher CP value . Then we will measure heavy editing. Starting from high-performance requirements such as Bonnie, the test content includes full 4K material editing and very heavy AE animation. Color mixing and multi-track editing will also be more complicated . In heavy output, the conclusion is similar . You can see RTX 4080 and 3080 Ti is very similar in terms of output seconds because the scale is almost the same. The difference of a few seconds is probably the test error , and the RTX 4090 is also faster here. Pursuing top-level performance , of course, RTX 4090 can save about 9-10% of the time. After reading the professional performance , let’s test the game performance . This time, our ROG Strix SCAR series is equipped with Windows 11 Home operating system and includes a Game Pass Ultimate subscription. After 3 months of service, you can get it for free . Don’t forget to claim it. Let’s go directly to the game test. First of all , there is no pressure under Forza 5 FHD. The extreme picture quality setting of the highest gear can easily break 100 frames . Direct measurement of 2K ultra-high image quality with high-ray tracking . Without DLSS , the RTX 4080 has easily run an average of 136 frames. Even if the image quality is set to 2K, the highest extreme image quality , ray tracking is also set to high , and there is no need to open DLSS twice . Taiwan has an average performance of 122 frames and 129 frames . Playing Forza 5 under 2K is completely stress-free, and then running God of War FHD. All image quality settings are equally stress-free. Directly watching 2K high-quality images without DLSS is also easy to break. The performance of 100 frames averaged 110.7 frames and 120.9 frames , and then turned the image quality to the highest level . Selected 2K very high image quality and turned off DLSS, and came to an average of 86.9 frames and 98.5 frames . They also ran smoothly. After DLSS was turned on , the frame numbers of both machines exceeded 100 FPS Next , let’s look at GhostWire:Tokyo, which is more complex in ray tracing. If you can’t test ray chasing FHD first, it’s also stress-free, and you can directly test 2K, the highest quality setting . Under the movie quality, both of them can break 100 frames on average. At 113.6 frames and 122.2 frames , we turned on ray tracing and directly measured the heaviest 2K movie quality plus movie ray tracing. At this time, the pressure came up . The average frame rate of the two machines reached 57.5 frames and 61.7 frames , which is already a smooth run for the 30 series It is not easy to stabilize 40 under the same settings . Then we turned on DLSS and it ran smoothly. It can reach 121.7 frames and 140.1 frames (a slip of the tongue) . Finally, the performance test software Cyberpunk 2077 is the conclusion. Now even 2077 laptops can easily Have you mastered it? Let’s look at FHD first and let’s look at RTX 4080. In FHD’s highest picture setting , under extremely high ray tracking, there is an average of 112 frames without DLSS, and an average of 194 frames after DLSS is turned on . Fully controlling 2K, there is no pressure without ray tracking. Direct measurement 2K is the heaviest image quality setting. Extremely high light-tracking RTX 4080 averages 75.4 frames. RTX 4090 even reaches 84 frames. It runs completely smoothly . After DLSS is turned on , it reaches 124 and 159 frames respectively . To sum up, benefiting from the really strong performance output of the 40 series now The laptop end can be considered to be able to fully control the load under 2K with full image quality. At worst , turn on DLSS and the frame rate will increase immediately . I think that maybe the next generation of ROG can safely consider the 4K 120Hz screen . The 40 series is enough to cope with the battery life Some ROG Strix SCAR 16 and 18 are equipped with a 90Wh battery. Continuously playing Full HD YouTube videos for an hour consumes 21% . In the PCMark 10 Modern Office Screen Setting 200 nits battery life test, the Strix SCAR 16 finally won. Strix SCAR 18 took 4 hours and 33 minutes and reached 5 hours and 40 minutes. Strix SCAR 18 will be better , but it can be regarded as the normal battery life of a high-performance laptop . It lasts longer than last year’s Strix SCAR 17 SE , but it is recommended to take it with you when you go out. A lightweight PD will be safer. It is worth mentioning that this Armory Crate can also directly set the number of P-cores and E-cores to be turned on . Friends with special needs can also quickly set the charging part . Bonnie actually uses the original factory. The 330W charger Strix SCAR 16 is charged to 57% in 30 minutes, and it takes 1 hour and 32 minutes to fully charge 92% in one hour, while the Strix SCAR 18 is charged to 55% in 30 minutes, and it takes 90% to fully charge in 1 hour. Hours and 42 minutes , but both came faster than last year's score of about 1 hour and 50 minutes. The time has come to the end of the show. ROG Strix SCAR 16 and 18 can really be regarded as my favorite generation of SCAR in the past three years . It can be said that almost all aspects are excellent. above standard There is no obvious short version , especially the modification of the screen heat dissipation . I am very impressed. I must give ROG a good review . We tested the ROG Strix SCAR 17 SE last year and said that we expect ROG to bring a better color screen this year. There is a video camera, I did it , I even did it at 16:10, so let me tell you, if you have any suggestions , please leave a comment below, ROG will always see it . It is said that no matter it is running score output games, almost all of them are among the best , even dominating the rankings . There is no problem with the overall layout interface . It is currently a very strong machine. The point is that ROG has also opened a very good price this year. I think it is quite good. Yes,
of course , it ’s unavoidable. I still want to make a wish . The next generation ROG can bring 18-inch Mini LED or 4K 120Hz screen to the Taiwan version. Although it’s a small thing , I personally think that ROG may consider further reducing the size of the transformer. Like the recently popular GaN solution. After all, there is definitely a chance to increase the wattage in the future . It’s good to explore and reduce the size first. Well, the program of this episode is here first. Watch this time . It’s really good and full. I hope you can watch it. Have fun. If you have any questions or what the Bonnie team didn’t say , please leave a message below to discuss together. Finally , the production of the program is not easy, so please support us a lot. You are also welcome to sponsor us to complete more useful things by joining the channel membership or YouTube’s super thank you button An actual measurement program for reference value. I ’m a donkey , so we’ll see you next time. At the last time , Bonnie also provided all the benchmark tests for your reference. In terms of sound experience , Strix SCAR 16 and SCAR 18 are also equipped with two tweeters and two A subwoofer I think the sound effect has always been the place where there is no need to worry about the Stirx SCAR series . The performance is also above the standard. Bonnie also measured the maximum volume of the Strix SCAR 16 at 86 decibels, and the Strix SCAR 18 is 88 decibels . Bonnie also provides external speakers Test for your reference
