ASUS Reinvigorates PC Gaming at ROG Unleashed

Held in San Francisco, California USA, ASUS Chairman Jonney Shih celebrates nearly a decade of ROG innovation by hosting the ROG Unleashed press conference.  Loyal fans were invited to celebrate nearly a decade of ROG engineering with early access to the latest systems and components before they go on sale. 

"The new ASUS ROG notebooks, powered by 6th Gen Intel Core processors, offer gamers an amazing mobile gaming experience," said Kirk Skaugen, Intel senior vice president and general manager, Client Computing Group. "With the rise of mobile gaming, 6th Gen Intel Core processors deliver the ideal combination of power and performance to a fun, immersive, and truly mobile gaming device."

ROG GX700

Unveiled at IFA 2015, ROG GX700 is the first laptop ever to incorporate liquid-cooling.  A self-contained liquid-cooling dock allows for an unprecedented level of cooling, less noise, higher performance and superior overclocking capabilities.  The liquid-cooling unit includes rigorously tested automotive-grade components to ensure long-term reliability.

GX700 is using the latest 6th-generation Intel Core i7 K-series processor that’s unlocked for easier overclocking, and a desktop-class Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 graphics processor that’s also overclockable (note that this is not a GTX 980M!).  You can choose to use either the latest 4K IPS display with Nvidia G-Sync technology or VR (Virtual Reality) – the GX700 is ready for both.  When attached to the liquid-cooling dock, the ROG GX700 delivers high-end desktop computing experience with overclocking headroom still available if you crave for even more power!

The ASUS ROG G752 series arrives in a variety of configurations powered by 6th-generation Intel Core i7 quad-core processors paired with a choice of Nvidia GeForce GTX 965M, GTX 970M, and GTX 980M graphics processors with up to 8GB of GDDR5 video memory. Nvidia G-Sync technology is standard on all varieties. An anti-ghosting gaming keyboard that supports up to 30-key rollover, 2.5-mm long-travel keys, Thunderbolt 3.0 technology with USB Type-C, and up to 64GB of DDR4 RAM.

“The new ASUS ROG line-up will enable a fantastic Windows 10 gaming experience,” said Terry Myerson, executive vice president of the Windows and Devices Group, Microsoft Corp. “We’ve worked closely with ASUS to ensure the ROG line has the optimized performance and responsiveness that PC gamers demand. I look forward to the hours of gameplay that the ROG line will enable for everyone who loves PC gaming.”

Windows 10

Microsoft’s latest Windows 10 OS revitalizes PC gaming with new features such as DirectX 12 technology, Game DVR, and Xbox One Game Streaming.  DirectX 12 technology enables game developers to maximize the efficiency from ASUS ROG notebooks, desktops, and components so you can get the best experience and performance.  Microsoft Game DVR functionality lets you capture video clips and screenshots during gameplay for you to watch later or share on social media.  Xbox One Game Streaming capabilities lets you stream Xbox games, including exclusive titles such as Forza Motorsport 6, the upcoming Halo 5: Guardians, and others, directly to your ASUS ROG notebook, desktop, or a system with ASUS ROG components.
