Among the ASUS CES 2020 products was the ROG Strix GA35, something that we could put to the test for ourselves in Taiwan! We paired it with the ROG Strix XG279Q monitor for some brief and incredible gameplay!

Let’s recap the specifications of the ROG STRIX GA35 made for esports:

This is one definitely planning to take the esports world by storm. With the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, 16-core AMD Ryzen 9 3950X CPU, for quick work on content creation and heavy multitasking.

Boasting tournament ready performance, supported by an easy to carry design, two SSD panels and Keystone II technology for quick profile changes, any esports and LAN tournaments can quickly and handily switch around as needed.

Moving on to the ROG STRIX XG279Q, the 27-inch WQHD 2560 x 1440 equipped with fast IPS and ultrafast refresh rate at 170Hz, it’s specially crafted for pro players and invested gamers. The Fastbook ASUS technology allows for 1ms response time (GTG) for sharp visuals at high frame rates. It also has G-SYNC certification for a natural VRR experience.

The ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync (ELMB SYNC) allows ELMB to work simultaneously with G-SYNC to eliminate ‘ghosting’ for those crisp visuals. The High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology with professional colour gamut can deliver colours and contrast that fulfill DCI-P3 95%, along with DisplayHDR certification.

For the hands-on experience, we ran Red Dead Redemption 2, and it was certainly amazing. Movements had no lag across all the tests done by people prior, the oft boasted about graphical detail was allowed to pop, and every colour was vibrant. To get the best gaming experience for yourself, you should definitely get the ROG STRIX GA35 or its twin ROG STRIX GA15!

As a final bonus, the ROG STRIX GA35 possesses RGB lights, so you can really get that gaming party going!
