Las Vegas, NV (January 3, 2017) -- ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced that the GT51CH gaming desktop is now available with the latest 7th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor. This gives the GT51CH the processing performance required to run the latest games smoothly at the highest graphics settings. It also features the Aegis III application that lets gamers monitor system performance and access settings, as well as enabling CPU, GPU and memory overclocking.
Intel Core processors enable blazing-fast gaming performance
The 7th Generation Intel Core processor provides ROG GT51CH with unprecedented levels of gaming and multi-tasking performance. GT51CH has the processing power to run the latest games at ‘Ultra’ graphics settings and play 4K UHD videos easily. The latest Intel Core processors not only provide a significant performance boost over the previous generation, they are also more energy efficient.
ROG GT51CH supports up to NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1080 2-way SLI graphics to generate stunning 4K UHD gaming worlds. In product development tests, the GT51CH performed 60% better than a GeForce GTX 980 SLI-equipped system. It was able to run Watch Dogs 2 at ‘Ultra’ graphics settings in 4K UHD at frame rates averaging 66fps.
Processor, graphics card and memory overclocking with Aegis III
The ROG-exclusive Aegis III application lets gamers overclock the processor, graphics card and memory for an added performance boost. Turbo Gear triggers full-core overclocking to boost processor speed to 4.8GHz, and it also overclocks one of the GTX 1080 graphics cards. System memory can be overclocked too, with Intel XMP technology providing a 17% jump in performance.
Aegis III lets gamers track CPU/memory use, and download and upload status. It also allows gamers to control fan speeds and lighting effects, and automatically warns gamers if the system exceeds temperature or voltage thresholds.
Light it up with ASUS Aura
ROG GT51CH features dynamic ASUS Aura lighting effects for its central air intake and motherboard-mounted LEDs. Gamers can customize Aura in up to 8 million different colors to reflect the feel of the game that is currently being played, or to show their own unique style.
ESS SABRE HiFi DAC and amplifier for audiophile-grade audio
The ESS SABRE headphone digital-to-analog converter and amplifier provide a high dynamic range while delivering improved bass and less noise in its rich 32-bit/384kHz sound output. This provides gamers with rich in-game audio with greater detail and less distortion.
AVAILABILITY AND PRICING
ASUS ROG GT51CH will be available Q2 2017. Pricing and configurations will be announced at a later date.
