GPU

Fast graphics, stable drivers

Professional-level 3D graphics processing power is provided by NVIDIA RTX A2000 Laptop GPU, which is based on the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, NVIDIA’s second generation of RTX technology. It blitzes through the toughest tasks, such as complex CAD models, 3D product design, or high-resolution video editing, thanks to the advanced features in the GPU, including ray tracing and AI acceleration and fast GDDR6 video memory, along with the ability to increase GPU power from 80 W to 110 W, adjusting the system fan speed as needed for optimum performance. For outstanding driver stability, we use NVIDIA Studio Drivers to ensure maximum performance, rock-solid reliability, and wide software compatibility. For even more performance, ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 OLED also uses NVIDIA Max-Q technology with the AI-based Dynamic Boost 2.0 feature, intelligently managing power between the GPU and CPU to give you maximum performance while you are gaming or creating.

CPU

As fast as your imagination

Powered by up to an AMD Ryzen™ 9 5900HX processor with 8 cores and 16 threads for effortless multitasking, ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 is capable of anything your imagination can create. There’s even more performance on tap when you enable Performance mode: this can boost the CPU power to 75 W sustained, or 95 W temporarily, adjusting the fan speed setting automatically to achieve best performance.

Thermal

It’s cool to be quiet

Keeping a powerhouse like ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 cool is vital for top performance, but unwanted noise is the enemy of creativity. We’ve designed the ASUS IceCool Pro cooling system to let the mighty AMD CPU run comfortably at a blistering 140 watts total TDP (50 W CPU and 90 W GPU) in Performance mode — with no throttling. This remarkable feat of engineering uses dual 102-aerofoil blade fans, the world’s first to use over 100 blades3. The slim aerofoil blades are made from side-chain liquid crystal epoxy polymer (SCP): the quiet, power-efficient 3D-curved design increases airflow by 16%4. Six heat pipes and seven intelligent sensors ensure optimum cooling performance, while keeping everything quiet — under 40 dBA in Normal mode — so you can concentrate on the task at hand without distractions. In addition, ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 features NVIDIA’s AI-powered WhisperMode 2.0, which gives you even more control over the laptop’s fans so you can balance performance and acoustics.
