ASUS and Republic of Gamers feature experiential booths at Computex 2019

TUF Gaming

The TUF Gaming hardware area features several exciting, recently unveiled products as well as some that fans have been waiting in anticipation for in recent months. New products include the TUF gaming GT301 ATX gaming case with a 240mm radiator in the front, up to five 120mm fans, and a 160mm CPU cooler; the silent and powerful TUF Gaming TF120A1 ARGB PWM all-purpose chassis fan with an incredible 400,000-hour lifespan; the durable TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi) motherboard with comprehensive cooling and support for next-gen connectivity; the TUF Gaming H3 headset; and the TUF Gaming M3 mouse.

Also making an appearance are the TUF Gaming VG32VQ, VG27A and VG27B displays — all of which feature Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync (ELMB-SYNC). This next-gen tech enables the use of both ELMB and variable refresh rates (VRR) in tandem, ensuring animations are smooth and free of the judder introduced by Vsync, and the entire picture is crisp and blur-free.

ROG booth

The Republic of Gamers (ROG) booth is located adjacent to the ASUS booth and showcases the latest and greatest ROG gaming hardware. The booth exudes an atmosphere of futurism, symbolizing the ROG drive to be a leader in gaming innovation. Visitors to the ROG booth will be greeted by an array of large, dynamic screens surrounding the booth to produce a feeling of being immersed in a futuristic world.

The central area of the ROG booth presents gaming hardware and peripherals in the form of thermal, portable and panel solutions. Venturing further outward from this central area, visitors will see the latest lineup of laptops, including the ROG Zephyrus series, the ROG Strix series and an area for gaming machines tailor-made for pros and enthusiasts.

Thermal solutions

The Thermal Solutions area features ROG Crosshair VIII Formula, the highly anticipated ROG Mothership GZ700 and an ROG concept gaming chassis. The ROG Crosshair VIII Formula presents incredible cooling performance and gamer-oriented features, making it the perfect foundation for any high-performance gaming rig. The ROG Mothership GZ700 is an upright design, which can serve as a powerful gaming battle station, anywhere. It also comes with liquid-metal cooling, which can reduce CPU temperatures by up to 13°C. The block that sits on the CPU also has a special internal fence that prevents liquid metal from leaking out over time.

The ROG concept gaming chassis is a full tower case that supports a motherboard up to EATX (12” x 13”) in size at the same time as a mini-ITX build. An innovative hinge-frame design simplifies cable routing and tempered-glass side panels infused with addressable RGB lighting and Aura Sync technology make the case perfect for showcase builds. Optional extras include a hot-swappable drive cage for video editing and workstation applications.

Portable Gaming solutions

The Portable Solutions area features the new ROG Strix XG17 portable gaming display. Designed for competitive gamers that wish to hone their skills while on the move, ROG Strix XG17 boasts a 17.3-inch IPS Full HD panel delivering a blistering 240Hz refresh rate and 3ms response time, making it the fastest portable display in the world. It weighs a mere 1000 grams and has a built-in battery that supports up to 3 hours of 240Hz operation off a single charge. Thanks to its fast-charging system, a one-hour charge will power the system for 2.7 hours. Other salient features include adaptive-sync which operates between 48–240Hz, making it easier to derive smooth gameplay from modest GPUs. There’s also a built-in speaker, providing the flexibility to game without a headset.

Panel solutions

The Panel Solutions area features the finest gaming displays available on the market, including the stunning ROG Swift PG27UQX monitor, featuring Mini-LED backlighting with 576 independent LED zones and a peak brightness of 1,000 nits, conforming to DisplayHDR 1000 standards.

The area also showcases the ROG Strix SCAR III G731, ROG Strix Hero III G731, Zephyrus S GX502 and Zephyrus S GX701 gaming laptops. ROG Strix SCAR III G731 and ROG Strix Hero III G731 are the first gaming laptops to bring 240Hz/3ms displays to more expansive 17-inch screens. With up to NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2070 graphics that can push into factory overclocked territory thanks to ROG Boost, they have enough horsepower to generate triple-digit frame rates for sublimely smooth gameplay in fast-paced titles and competitive esports.

ROG Strix

The ROG Strix area presents visitors with a variety of gaming innovations and shows off the brand-new Glacier Blue laptop color. Products on display in this area include the ROG Face Off concept laptop, ROG Strix Scar III, ROG Strix Hero III, ROG Strix G gaming laptops and the ROG Strix Arion.

ROG Face Off is a collaboration between ROG and BMW Designworks Group that imagines the future of gaming laptops. The design mockup reflects the fact that gamers have different personalities and often work as hard as they play.

ROG Strix SCAR III G731, ROG Strix Hero III G731 and ROG Strix G laptops feature the stunning new Glacier Blue color. With a wintery look at first glance that becomes surprisingly saturated upon closer inspection, Glacier Blue has a slightly silvery sheen in the light, making it appear paler and more polished from a distance. Bolder blue tones jump out when up close or in darker environments, providing a shot of color along with more contrast for RGB lighting.
