Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced the GR8, a console-inspired gaming PC
that delivers incredible performance in a compact 2.5-liter chassis. ROG GR8
boasts an Intel® Core™ i7 processor and NVIDIA®
GeForce® GTX 750Ti graphics for Full HD gaming. It features up to
16GB DDR3L memory, a hard disk drive or high-speed solid state drive (SSD),
built-in dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and comes preinstalled with Windows 8.1. ROG
GR8 also has a built-in Miracast receiver to stream HD content wirelessly from supported
Android smart devices or Windows 8.1 PCs directly to a HDTV.
ROG GR8 features special slide-off covers for
easy access to the additional 2.5-inch drive bay and SO-DIMM memory slots for
quick upgrades. Its 2.5-liter chassis comes with a matte-black finish,
Mayan-inspired detailing, and a pulsing illuminated ROG logo. This compact
design is ideal for gamers’ bedrooms and living rooms, and provides an added
level of portability when attending LAN parties.
Geared for online gaming
With an Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA GeForce
GTX 750Ti graphics, the powerful ROG GR8 has the performance to run today’s
games in Full HD for a truly immersive gaming experience. ROG GR8 even has
4K/UHD support and can be hooked up to a HDTV through a HDMI or DisplayPort
connection for truly vivid visuals.
ROG GR8 has Intel Ethernet for better
throughput; with enhanced TCP and UDP performance giving it twice the speed of similar
technologies for small online game packets. ROG GR8 also has GameFirst III that
optimizes networks to give users lag-free gameplay. It prioritizes game packets
and allocates more bandwidth for smooth, lag-free gaming. GameFirst III features
four preset packet-priority modes, and manual settings for users who want total
control over their network. The built-in Network Monitor tool even lets users manage
network traffic and test connection speeds.
The pre-installed Steam utility lets users
download games into the ROG GR8 in just a few clicks. They can even play their
PC games on a Full HD TV thanks to Steam Big Picture.
Precision-engineered
SupremeFX audio
ROG GR8 features SupremeFX audio for
immersive sound to accompany its stunning visuals. ROG GR8 has an internal
design that reduces electromagnetic interference, and utilizes premium
components and audio utilities for unrivalled in-game audio.
The analog and digital components found in
ROG GR8 are physically isolated and separated to keep electromagnetic
interference down to a minimum. It uses premium Japanese-made ELNA®
audio capacitors that provide warm and natural sound reproduction, and render
in-game audio in greater detail.
To help users get the most out of its
incredible audio hardware, ROG GR8 features a powerful collection of audio
solutions, including Sonic SenseAmp, Sonic SoundStage, Sonic Studio, and Sonic
Radar II. Sonic SenseAmp automatically adjusts the built-in amplifier to match
headphone impedance for pitch-perfect sound.
Sonic SoundStage lets gamers select the best audio
settings for their favorite game genres in real time. This can be done via
software, or purely though hardware via the BIOS menu; it does this without the
help of the OS or drivers. Sonic SoundStage even works great with SteamOS.
Sonic Studio is a tuning suite that features one-click
Virtual Surround for 7.1-channel audio, even on 2-channel stereo headsets. It
even lets users control Reverb, Bass Boost, Equalizer, Voice Clarity and Smart
EQ settings as well for amazing sound. Sonic Radar II features an on-screen
overlay that shows the relative position of gunshots, footsteps and other sound
effects to give gamers an aural advantage on the battlefield.
Easy-upgrade
design and efficient, silent and cool operation
ROG GR8 features a user-friendly upgradable
design, with special slide-off covers for easy access to the additional hard
disk expansion and memory bays for quick upgrades. ROG GR8 is energy-efficient
too, drawing less than 15W at idle, and is whisper-quiet at just 20dB at idle
and 28dB when running at full capacity —perfect for the living room or bedroom.
Inside, ROG GR8 has a dedicated large-scale fan and copper heat sinks that
direct heat away from the CPU and GPU for maximum cooling.
Gaming-grade
reinforcements
ROG GR8 comes bundled with two superb ROG
accessories: the amazing ROG Gladius optical mouse and M801 mechanical keyboard,
which give players supreme command and control in the most intense gaming
situations.
ROG Gladius is a wired optical gaming mouse
that gives gamers a competitive advantage in FPS games. It features ultra-durable
Omron switches with the exclusive easy-swap switch socket design for
customizable click resistance, a two-level DPI switch, slide-to-press side
switches, and a 6400DPI optical sensor that tracks up to 200 inches per second
and 50g acceleration.
The M801 mechanical keyboard has an
aggressive geometric design, compact dimensions, and features like anti-ghosting,
N-key rollover, and game/PC modes to give PC gamers uncompromised gaming
control. It features six backlighting modes for low-light gaming environments,
and utilizes durable MX-grade red mechanical switches for responsive
keystrokes.
