CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW, LAS VEGAS, NEVADA (January 11, 2010) — ASUS showcased some of its latest and long-awaited Republic of Gamers ROG ‘weaponry’, catering to professional gamers, overclockers, home or mobile gamers and DIY enthusiasts. Leading the charge is the stealth fighter-inspired, powerful and ergonomic ASUS G73Jh gaming notebook for gamers on-the-move. For users looking for the best components to outfit their dream gaming rigs, ROG offers the new innovative and intuitive MATRIX Series graphics cards and the extremely powerful X58-based Rampage III Extreme motherboard which supports up to four graphics cards for the win.
ASUS ROG G73Jh Notebook—Strike First and Win with Stealth and Precision
The new ASUS ROG G73Jh gaming notebook was inspired by the silent yet immensely deadly Lockheed F117 Nighthawk stealth fighter, featuring a matte black exterior, with dual angular ‘heat exhausts’ located at the back of the notebook. At the heart of the G73Jh lies the latest Intel® Core™ i7 processor, up to 8GB DDR3 system memory and 1TB storage space for extreme gaming and multitasking performance. Together with the Extreme Turbo Mode—accessible through the ASUS Power4 Gear Hybrid application—users can boost system performance on-the-fly without having to reboot. As the first DirectX 11 compatible gaming notebook, the G73Jh delivers state-of-the-art graphics via an ATI Radeon™ HD5870 with 1GB GDDR5 video memory. Complementing the spectacular visuals and performance are EAX 4.0 and CMSS 3D surround sound for a truly immersive gaming experience. Gaming for prolonged periods is now remarkably comfortable as well, as the palm rest stays cool and comfortable thanks to the G73Jh’s ergonomic design and effective rear venting. The G73Jh is also equipped with a one-click Stealth Mode, which allows users to switch the ambient lighting systems off.
ASUS ROG Rampage III Extreme—Raising the Bar on Extreme Overclocking
With a rich history of developing and producing innovative motherboards, ASUS ROG offers three state-of-the-art lines of motherboards for all levels of gamers and DIY-enthusiasts. The GENE Series is designed for case-modders who are looking for a space-saving solution which still boasts uncompromised performance, while the FORMULA Series is targeted at gamers who enjoy fast-paced gaming, without having to worry about burnouts. Finally, there is the Extreme Series, which promises to smash all the records and become the choice of champion overclockers everywhere.
The latest in the Extreme Series, the ASUS ROG Rampage III Extreme, is an overclocking colossus based on the Intel® X58 chipset that is set to pave the way for new overclocking records. Capable of supporting up to four high-end graphics cards simultaneously, the Rampage III Extreme features the groundbreaking RC Bluetooth which allows users to review the status of their system’s hardware and tweak parameters wirelessly from a Bluetooth-enabled PDA phone. RC Bluetooth is also capable of performing standard Bluetooth functions, such as stereo music playback, Skype messaging, Internet access via a Bluetooth phone and mobile phone or PDA synchronisation.
