Were you at PAX last weekend? Nvidia has put some videos up online covering Day 1 and Day 2 of the event – can you spot ROG in any of them?
Have you seen our front page banner? PAX East is this weekend (6-8th April) in Boston, MA!
If you drop by the ASUS booth at the event you’ll be able to try all our new hardware for yourself, and enter a competition to win one of three ASUS powered gaming PCs!
The new ASUS GeForce GTX 680 based on the Nvidia ‘Kepler’ GK104 core, is definitely a force to be reckoned with. Our resident tech guru, JJ, has put together two videos detailing the performance of a single card and three together in Tri-SLI.
Here at ROG we know you love all manner of high performance hardware. While we generally remain safe in the comfort of our UEFI BIOS, overclocking away, let’s not forget that once your data hits the network no amount of MHz will push that through faster. We don’t stand for bottlenecks in our bandwidth; whether that’s memory performance or file transfers!
I recently caught this overview and unboxing video of the Rampage IV Extreme from YouTube user, Psylacus. The intro has clever quick-link boxes to skip to specific parts of the board you’re interested in, and generally his presentation skills are better than mine so I’m giving him the kudos link above.
We teased the Maximus V earlier in the week, and yesterday international media posted their first impressions of not only the Maximus V, but the entire upcoming ASUS Z77 motherboards. We’ve rounded up a list of media previews inside.

PC Perspective has yet again rounded up a fist full of ASUS graphics cards: this time the entire high-end Radeon HD 6000 DirectCU series with three of the four cards walking away with awards. The EAH6850 gets the gold, the EAH6870 a silver (we’re giving 5 away in our competition by the way) and the EAH6950 gets an Editors Choice.
With the recent launch of the X79 chipset and its support for Quad Channel memory once again the debate has been raised as to what can we do with additional memory as well as how can we benefit not only from the density but the increased bandwidth. Well the answer is easy use that memory as a cache or harddisk!
As we all know a PC’s DRAM memory is considerably faster than even the fastest mechanical HD or the fastest SSD or even raid configurations of either drive type; because of this memory not only offers a huge increase in potential performance over standard storage options but also will compliment any potential storage array configuration. In addition as memory is not limited in regards to a defined bus frequency of operation ( as is SATA you can not only improve performance by using a RamDisk or RamCache but continue to increase performance by using faster memory ) Such as using DDR3 1,333 will offer great performance but moving to DDR3 1,600 will offer even high performance gains.
