ROG Maximus VIII Impact
Joining the ASUS ROG Maximus motherboard family for 6th-generation Intel Core processors is the highly anticipated Maximus VIII Impact – a mini-ITX motherboard engineered for gaming and performance enthusiasts. Due to space limitations, onboard connectivity, audio quality, power delivery, fan headers, and fan control is often sub-par on mini-ITX motherboards in comparison to their ATX counterparts. At ROG, such performance compromises are not an option — we have to find ways to work around constraints to ensure performance lives up to ROG standards. Using our engineering expertise and premium components, we have managed to surpass all expectations and deliver a mini-ITX motherboard that exceeds the performance capabilities of many ATX motherboards. Every aspect of the Maximus VIII Impact is designed to offer cutting edge performance without compromise.
To ensure stable overclocking that’s on par with the best enthusiast-oriented ATX motherboards, the ROG Maximus VIII Impact features Impact Power III technology, an exclusive power daughter card that utilizes Extreme Engine Digi+ components – MicroFine alloy chokes, PowIRStage® high current MOSFETs, and 10K Japanese-made black metallic capacitors for ultra-stable, low noise power delivery.
An onboard U.2 PCI Express® 3.0 x4 connector ensures the Maximus VIII Impact is ready for the latest extreme speed SSDs. Onboard network connectivity is catered for on two fronts – wireless and wired. An onboard 2 x 2 802.11AC MU-MIMO Wi-Fi card provides high-speed wireless connectivity, while wired network connections are handled by Intel I219-V Gigabit Ethernet that provides a stable, responsive network connection for uninterrupted gaming sessions. The bundled ROG GameFirst software package is compatible with both wireless and wired network connections and allows users to set program priority lists to ensure a smooth networking experience even when multi-tasking.
The Maximus VIII Impact includes ROG SupremeFX Impact III audio, which provides the finest audio quality with an ESS® ES9023P DAC and headphone buffer that can drive high-impedance headphones up to 600 ohms. The onboard component layout has been tuned to prevent noise leakage into audio pathways, allowing the SupremeFX Impact III audio module to deliver a consistent, high-fidelity audio experience.
ROG Matrix GTX 980 Ti
Despite using the same GeForce GTX 980 Ti GPU as other graphics cards, the ROG Matrix is an entirely different beast. ASUS tests each GPU to assess its overclocking potential and reserves only the very best for use in the ROG Matrix. Those chips are paired with a custom circuit board, power delivery, and cooling solution tuned to help you wring out every last drop of performance. The card is bursting with useful extras, too, such as RGB LEDs that change color based on the workload, a defroster that prevents condensation build-up with sub-zero overclocking, and a safe-mode button that can rescue you from overly-ambitious overclocks. More than just another GeForce GTX 980 Ti, the ROG Matrix is in a class all its own.
ROG G20CB Compact Desktop PC
Ready for the next evolution of immersive gaming is the Oculus Ready ASUS ROG G20CB desktop. The G20CB is powered by 6th-generation Intel Core processors with NVIDIA GeForce GTX graphics cards for uncompromised virtual reality (VR) performance. Oculus Ready PCs pack the hardware necessary for the upcoming Oculus Rift VR experience — gamers just need to connect the Oculus Rift hardware to the ASUS ROG G20 to be prepared for lifelike VR experiences.
ASUS RT-AC88U
Making its global debut is the all-new ASUS RT-AC88U router, which is engineered for gamers and enthusiasts with speeds up to 2.1Gbit/s on the 5GHz band and 1Gbit/s on the 2.4GHz band for wireless network connectivity that matches and exceeds wired Ethernet performance. Wired network connectivity is available via eight Gigabit Ethernet ports to make the RT-AC88U the perfect home network router or wireless client bridge for users with multiple network-connected devices in a home theater rack that can’t be wired to the main router.
USB 3.0 connectivity lets users transform the RT-AC88U into the perfect network attached storage device (NAS) by simply connecting an external storage device. The RT-AC88U USB 3.0 port features a 20-percent speed improvement over previous-generation routers to achieve read speeds in excess of 100MB/s for high-speed data transfers. A USB 2.0 port is available to connect more storage devices, a printer, or a USB 3G/4G/LTE network adapter. When a USB 3G/4G/LTE network adapter is attached, the RT-AC88U lets users choose to configure it for load-balancing or automatic failover protection, giving greater performance or redundancy.
While having a fast router can help improve local network performance, online gaming depends heavily on WAN performance and efficient connections. Online games often execute an excessive number of hops to transmit and receive game data by default. To address this, the RT-AC88U features a built-in client and free subscription to the WTFast Gamer Private Network (GPN™), which optimizes WAN network routes via dedicated GPN™ servers to ensure consistently low ping times and reduced packet loss. By incorporating this client into the RT-AC88U’s firmware, gamers can access this functionality on any OS without needing to run the client on local machines.
The RT-AC88U also features ASUS AiProtection to help prevent virus, malware, and other network attacks. Placing this level of protection within the router saves users from needing to install expensive, resource-consuming anti-virus software on their PCs.
