ASUS Republic of Gamers unleashes a barrage of new tech offerings at Gamescom 2023
At the recent Gamescom 2023, ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) announced a slew of products during their “Never Stop Gaming” event. Here’s a quick summary of them all.
ROG reveals next-gen motherboards
Topping the list were the Z790 motherboards, specifically the ROG Maximus Z790 Dark Hero, ROG Strix Z790-A Gaming WiFi II, and TUF Gaming Z790-Pro WiFi. These motherboards support 12th and 13th generation Intel Core and next-gen processors and are primed with PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 memory. The Z790 Dark Hero and Strix Z790-A boast Wi-Fi 7 and ASUS WiFi Q-Antenna, ensuring rapid transfer rates and unwavering connection stability, while the TUF Gaming Z790-Pro WiFi integrates Wi-Fi 6E.
OLED is set to hit mainstream PC gaming
ASUS ROG’s new monitor offerings include the ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM, which, as a 32-inch 4K OLED gaming monitor, claims the title of being the first in its category with a 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time.
Close behind, the ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDM, a 34-inch ultrawide OLED gaming monitor, mirrors those specs. Then there’s the ROG Swift OLED PG49WCD which stands out with its insane super-ultrawide 49-inch display, offering a 144Hz refresh rate.
Routers, Evangelion collection, and more
The gaming router, ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro WiFi 7, set a benchmark by being the first to use the quad-band Wi-Fi 7 standard, capable of jaw-dropping speeds up to 30,000Mbps. This one-ups the non-Pro tri-band Wi-Fi 7 gaming router launched early in the year. Anime and gaming aficionados can delight in the super exclusive (and very beautiful) ROG x Evangelion collection which melds high-quality components with unique Evangelion-inspired designs.
Other notable unveilings included the ROG Hyperion GR701 White Edition case, the formidable ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card, and the robust power supply, ROG Loki SFX-L 1200W Titanium.
