ASUS launch two Graphic Cards

by

ASUS today announced the ROG Strix GeForce RTX™ 4070 Ti and TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, two high-performance graphics cards.

The ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4070 Ti offers powerhouse next-gen performance in a slightly smaller package. At 3.15 slots thick and 336 mm long, this card provides plenty of surface area on its MaxContact heatsink for airflow, while retaining the latest cyberpunk design and ultra-rigid structure of its larger siblings. It also features three new 11-blade ASUS Axial-tech fans, which can push 31% more air volume and 56.3% more static pressure than its ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3080 predecessor — all at a lower power limit and with similarly low noise levels. A massive vented backplate ensures superior airflow, and 0dB technology keeps this card completely silent under lighter workloads.

ASUS also offers a TUF Gaming variant of the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, complete with the same powerful GPU as the Strix version but with a slightly thicker heatsink and shorter card design. At 3.25 slots with the new 11-blade Axial-tech fans, users will not be left wanting for cooling potential, while the shorter 305 mm length offers wider case compatibility.

The unibody die-cast shroud shares the same structural strength as the TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4080 and 4090 cards, while a wide vent on the backplate improves airflow compared to previous-generation models. The TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti also offers the Dual BIOS switch and a redesigned ARGB TUF logo along the shroud for a touch of flair, as well as military-grade capacitors and the Auto-Extreme manufacturing quality that all TUF cards are known for. If users want a durable card that will prove its worth time and time again, the TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti stands firm in its commitment to long-lasting gaming performance.

The ROG Strix and TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti are powerful cards, making excellent use of every watt they’re provided. To make the most of these next-gen GPUs, users can pair their new graphics card with one of our premium power supplies, like the ROG Thor 850W Platinum II for more compact ITX builds. With their high-quality components, quiet operation, and 10-year warranty, the PC will receive stable, reliable power for years to come. 

AVAILABILITY

The ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4070 Ti and TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti will be available in India later this month.

Asus Announces ROG Swift 500Hz Gaming Monitor

by

Asus has announced the ROG Swift 500Hz, a 500 Hz refresh-rate esports gaming monitor. It features a 24.1-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) display that utilises Esports-TN panel (E-TN) technology to produce 60% shorter response times than standard TN LCD displays. The monitor includes NVIDIA G-SYNC, and the enhanced Esports Vibrance mode built directly into the monitor firmware. It is reported to allow more light to travel through the LCD crystals, giving colours new levels of vibrancy and the device also includes NVIDIA Reflex Analyzer, allowing gamers to measure latency with just a single click.

“When we introduced the first 144 Hz monitor in 2012, people said the human eye can only perceive 60 frames per second,” explains Gavin Tsai, Display Product Manager for ASUS. “Then, when we introduced our 240 Hz monitor, they said the human can’t perceive the difference,” continues Tsai. “Today, in a market where 144 Hz and 240 Hz gaming monitors are common and standard specs, we are breaking entirely new ground with the incredibly fast ROG Swift 500Hz.”

With reduced motion blur and lower input latency, the ROG Swift 500Hz has been designed to give professional esports gamers an advantage in tournaments. Its low latency is made possible in part through a vital partnership with NVIDIA.  

“The ROG Swift 500Hz with NVIDIA G-SYNC technology provides gamers the lowest latency available of any monitor on the market,” said Seth Schneider, Esports product manager at NVIDIA. “And with NVIDIA Reflex Analyzer on board, gamers can measure their latency with one click, ensuring the fastest response times for the most intense games.”

ASUS ROG releases a brand new 360Hz monitor under its Swift series

by

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) have announced that their all-new ROG Swift 360Hz monitor, the PG259QNR has also been chosen as the official gaming monitor for the DOTA 2 The International 10 tournament where the world’s best teams will gather in Bucharest, Romania and battle it out until mid-October to win the first-place prize purse of $15 million. This says a lot about the quality of the monitor which we will explore in the section below.

The PG259QNR comes with the NVIDIA G-Sync and Reflex technologies and offers a stunning refresh rate of 360Hz, offering a 50% higher refresh rate over its predecessors. Running games on high settings can lead to frame rate fluctuations, but due to the integrated G-Sync technology, the visuals and the gameplay can be kept smooth and lag-free.

This lauded gaming monitor fosters no motion blur and minimal ghosting in order to allow gamers focus on what’s most important: the in-game action. The pixel response time – which is the time taken for a pixel to transition from one colour to the next – is optimised by the G-Sync Variable Overdrive technology which does so in order for the monitor to deliver best motion clarity at all frame rates.

The PG529QNR delivers extremely low latency and features the NVIDIA Reflex which is the world’s first latency-measurement technology. In this context, the latency referred to is the system latency which determines the length of time it takes for a mouse click to occur in game and be displayed on-screen. Through the Reflex analyser’s ability, gamers can tune in-game settings and get the lowest system latency.

The Swift 360 Hz PG259QNR includes the ROG Desk Mount Kit to help gamers free up desk space. The kit has a C-clamp bracket that fits desks or table tops up to 8 cm thick, and it includes padding to protect the desk surface. Once tightened and locked into place, the final setup is a breeze, with the mounting arm of the monitor slipping right into the bracket.

For more information, please visit the ROG Swift 360Hz PG529QNR’s product page. The pricing for this monitor can be found out through local ASUS representatives.
