New ASUS Gaming Rig Arrives: ROG Zephyrus G6X with Next-Gen Power
With the launch of this ROG Zephyrus G6X system, ASUS is putting forth a new contender for the title in the gaming desktop arena. If you are looking for a high-performance machine that easily mixes a strong Intel processor with NVIDIA's latest graphics wrapped in a case with eye-catching ARGB lighting, this could be a contender to watch.
Under the Hood: What Makes the G6X Tick
At the heart of the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G6X is a 20-core Intel Core Ultra 7 265F processor, perfectly capable of demanding gaming and multitasking. This is mated to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card with the option of speedy GDDR7 video memory ranging from 8GB to 16GB - which is a nice option depending on your needs and budget.
Although ASUS did not provide details about the exact model of the motherboard, it has been confirmed to offer modern connectivity necessities such as Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4. To support all these systems, 32GB of RAM is onboard, while a 500-watt power supply, rated 80 Plus Platinum, shows good efficiency. For storing games and files, a 1TB SSD equipped with PCIe 4.0 is fast.
Light It Up and Plug It In
Aesthetics have not been forgotten. The PC comes with programmable ARGB lighting and is compatible with ASUS's Aura Sync Technology for customizing the light scheme to suit your setup. When it comes to ports, there's ample coverage:
Front Panel:
- Two USB 2.0 Type-A ports
