With the new AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX, NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti, and a blazing-fast 240Hz 2.5K display, the ROG Moba 9 sets a new standard for high-end gaming laptops in 2025.

Ryzen 9 9955HX – A Leap in Performance
The Ryzen 9 9955HX is built on AMD’s latest Zen 5 architecture and brings serious upgrades over last year’s 7945HX. With 16 cores and 32 threads, along with a large 3D-stacked cache on the 9955HX3D variant, it’s engineered for both gamers and creators. It also addresses previous issues like memory latency thanks to the new cache design.
According to early benchmarks, the 9955HX outperforms Intel’s 14th-gen HX chips in multithreaded workloads and delivers consistent high FPS in AAA games.
RTX 5070 Ti – Quietly Powerful
NVIDIA’s RTX 5070 Ti in the ROG Moba 9 offers a noticeable 20-30% uplift in performance over the RTX 4070 Laptop GPU, largely because of better power allocation and DLSS 4.0 support. In many scenarios, it comes surprisingly close to the RTX 4080 while consuming less power.
Gamers can expect smooth performance in titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Forza Horizon 5, and Apex Legends at high settings with ray tracing enabled.
Premium Display for Competitive Gamers
ASUS didn’t hold back on visuals—the ROG Moba 9 features a 16-inch 2.5K 240Hz panel with 3ms response time, making it ideal for fast-paced gaming. The display covers 100% DCI-P3, ensuring vibrant color accuracy for creators and streamers.

Next-Gen Cooling System
To keep the powerful hardware under control, the ROG Moba 9 uses a triple-fan setup, vapor chamber, and liquid metal thermal compound. This ensures the laptop stays cool during intense gaming marathons.
The airflow design improves thermal dissipation by over 25% compared to the previous generation. However, the laptop ships with only 16GB RAM initially, which might be limiting for power users—so upgrading to 32GB dual-channel is highly recommended.

Design and Build – Sleek but Serious
While the design is clean and gamer-centric, the Moba 9 does lack some features seen in the Strix Scar series—like a quick-release bottom panel and RGB light bar. It also drops the numeric keypad in favor of better keyboard spacing.
Still, the chassis is solid, the keyboard is per-key RGB, and the port selection is future-proof. It’s clearly built for serious gamers who value power and performance.
ROG Moba 9 Pricing and Availability
As of now, the ROG Moba 9 is available exclusively in China, and pricing varies by configuration. The 9955HX variant with RTX 5070 Ti starts around ¥14,999 (approx. $2,100). Global availability is expected later in 2025 under the ROG Strix Scar 16/18 branding.
