Gaming Performance Summary:

The 1080p gaming performance from the Scar 15 is pretty much neck-and-neck with that of the G15 Advantage. The RTX 3080 Laptop, in its 115W (plus 15W from Dynamic Boost) edges it ahead in some titles – like Resident Evil Village and Hitman 3 – but the RX 6800M does better in Red Dead Redemption 2 and Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Either way, the deltas are very small, so the real-world gaming performance of both machines is close enough to be called a tie.

Of course, the Scar 15 has a 1440p display and it can offer playable frame rates at that resolution. It won't get you a locked 60FPS, particularly not in the likes of RDR2 or Cyberpunk 2077, but for less demanding titles it is very feasible.
