ASUS shines at Gamescom 2023: more (and better) gamer than ever

Echoes of the recent Gamesom 2023 still resonate, in which Companies like ASUS took the opportunity to renew their catalog of systems, components and accessories specifically aimed at the world of gaming. And so it is that yes, the big protagonists of this event are the games, as we have already seen in the numerous announcements that took place last week, but what would all these titles be without the necessary systems to install and play them?

That is why for years they have included meetings dedicated to games and, with increasing presence, also hardware manufacturers most closely associated with the gaming ecosystem. Something that the assistants of this type of meeting are also grateful for, as it makes it easier for them to test in situ the latest systems and designs. But let’s go from generic video game fairs to the very specific one that ASUS presented at the event.

ASUS Z790 motherboards

For users who want to build their own PC and are looking for maximum performance on the Intel platform, ASUS introduced three new motherboards with the Z790 chipset, which, as you already know, is also compatible with the 12th and 13th generation Intel Core. as well as the future Raptor Lake refresh, which will surprise surprise at the upcoming Intel Innovation 2023. These are the three models announced by the manufacturer:

  • ROG Maximus Z790 Dark Hero
  • ROG Strix Z790-A Gaming WiFi II
  • Wi-Fi TUF Gaming Z790-Pro

As you also know, ASUS has two large families of gaming devices, components and peripherals, ROG (Republic of Gamers) and that it is the pinnacle of the brand’s offering in this market, and YOU Fwhich also focuses on the performance necessary for gaming, but with cheaper designs and therefore closer to tighter budgets.

In all three cases, as you can tell from the integration of the Z790 chipset, we are talking about high-end motherboards and therefore include some of the brand’s own technologies for this segment, such as AI Overclocking, AI Cooling II, two-way AI Noise Cancellation and ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile II (AEMP II), all of them, some with the use of artificial intelligence, designed to safely maximize performance and also significantly facilitate the configuration of systems based on them.

In terms of connectivity, both ROG models support WiFi 7, which combined with the ASUS WiFi Q-Antenna enable faster speeds by packing more data into each transfer. In this regard, the ROG Z790 Dark Hero offers a bandwidth of up to 320 MHz, while the connection speed can reach 5.8 Gbps. The TUF Gaming Z790-Pro WiFi features WiFi 6E support and features the latest SUS WiFi Q-antenna.

monitors

The ASUS proposal for Gamescom 2023 in terms of screens was also more than remarkable, with three models that, each with its own peculiarities, represent an excellent choice for users with a very demanding profile in terms of the quality, performance and reliability of your displays. .

let’s start with him ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDMwhich aims to be the first gaming monitor 32-inch 4K OLED in the world. You’ll quickly understand its speed when you know it offers a refresh rate of up to 240 hertz with a 0.03 millisecond GTG (gray to gray) response time. In addition, thanks to the characteristics of OLED technology, it is able to provide a maximum brightness of 1,000 nits. To safely ensure this performance, it integrates a custom-designed cooler into the thermal management solution and uses graphene to protect the panel. It integrates a KVM switch and is compatible with DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1 and USB-C with power.

Another monitor introduced today is ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDMin which we again find an OLED panel, but in this case curved and from 34-inch ultra-wide, with a resolution of 3440 x 1440 pixels and 800R curvature. As with the previous model, the refresh rate can be scaled up to 240 hertz and its response is also 0.03 milliseconds GTG, although in this case the maximum brightness rises to 1,300 nits and is compatible with DisplayHDR True Black 400 and G-SYNK, to avoid problems tearing, all this of course also with an advanced thermal management solution. In terms of connectivity, it supports DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1 and USB-C with power supply, plus a KVM switch.

We conclude the review of monitors majestically ROG Swift OLED PG49WCD, 49-inch ultra-wide curved screen with resolution 5120 x 1440 pixels, in an aspect ratio of 32:9, which we can compare to placing two wide-angle displays next to each other. In this case, we find a refresh rate of up to 144 hertz, a response time of 0.03 milliseconds GTG and a maximum brightness of 1,000 nits. It repeats the connectivity of the previous two models with DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1 and USB-C with power supply and an integrated KVM switch, and also shares an advanced thermal management system.

ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro

A fast and reliable connection is a must for any gamer who likes to play online. In response to this need, ASUS introduced the ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro, The world’s first quad-band WiFi 7 gaming routerand thus anticipates the expected massive deployment of this new iteration of wireless connectivity, which we expect in the second quarter of next year, which will be capable of reaching speeds of 48 Gbps at its theoretical maximum.

He ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro supports 320 MHz channels in the 6 GHz band, additionally using 4K QAM modulation, which optimizes transmissions by squeezing more data into each transmission. In addition, it features Multi-Link Operation and Multi-RU Puncturing to further optimize connection performance, as well as advanced QoS management to reduce delay and latency and ensure reliability. And yes, in case you’re wondering, this router is designed to be the perfect complement to the two ROG motherboards we saw at the start of this roundup of ASUS’ presence at Gamescom 2023.

ASUS ROG x Evangelion

ASUS is a brand we have become accustomed to custom designs, which personally and as a user of the Vivobook 13 Slate OLED Philip Colbert Edition, which always sparks interest and fun conversations when I use it in public, you can already imagine I appreciate it very much. In this regard, a few weeks ago we published a very complete review of the ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED BAPE Edition, a very interesting piece of equipment… and extremely fun, which is also valuable for many users.

At this Gamescom 2023 ASUS has expanded its ROG x Evangelion special edition, with various components that add to the advantages of their standard models, modifications dedicated to EVA-02 and Asuka, from the more than popular Evangelion anime. Among the featured products are ROG Maximus Hero motherboard, ROG Strix GeForce RTXâ„¢ graphics card, ROG Ryujin AIO cooler, ROG Hyperion premium gaming case, graphics card holder, peripherals and other accessories.

Back to the future

Under such an iconic reference to 80s culture (for those of you reading us from Latin America, that was the title Back to the Future was given in Spain, which translates there as Volver al futuro or Vuelta al futuro, as hinted at Wikipedia we find BTF (abbreviation of the original name), a design paradigm that we have already seen in the ASUS TUF Gaming B760M BTF, and which we can summarize in modify the usual location of the connectors to reduce their visibility in systems with glass sides, methacrylate and similar materials.

In this regard, in addition to the already named B670M-BTF, ASUS also showed itself TUF Gaming Z790 concept motherboard and ASUS GeForce RTX 4070 BTF graphics cardwhich replicate this design philosophy, bringing it from the motherboards we saw earlier in the year to the graphics card to ensure an even cleaner build and of course a much more attractive look inside the PC when it’s running.
