Asus Rampage 3 Formula Review

[gaby]

Ei bine, iata ca cei de la ASUS au lansat o noua placa de baza construita in mod special pentru cei ce petrec multe ore in fata PC-ului, butonand fel si fel de jocuri . Placa de baza Rampage III Formula beneficiaza de un design anume, conceput special pentru pasionatii de jocuri.

Rampage III Formula include interfata pentru overclocking ROG Connect, marca inregistrata Republic of Gamers, care permite ajustarea parametrilor sistemului de pe un alt computer conectat prin intermediul unui cablu USB, solutia fiind perfecta pentru utilizatorii ce participa la competitii si sunt in cautarea unor scoruri record .

ASUS Rampage III Formula utilizeaza cea mai stabila si fiabila tehnologie disponibila pentru sistemul de management, incluzand VRM-uri digitale si condensatori solizi ; raspunzandu-se in mod ideal sarcinilor dificile precum jocurile HD si overclocking-ul extrem.

Capacitatea de redare a sunetului Supreme FX X-Fi 2 este o dotare standard, placa oferind suport pentru EAX 5.0 surround si THX TruStudio PRO.

Ar mai fi de spus ca pentru accelerarea jocurilor online Rampage III Formula optimizeaza consumul latimii de banda prin GameFirst, permitand utilizatorilor sa-si prioritizeze resursele si sa continuie descarcarile chiar si atunci cand se joaca, fara a afecta performantele in jocuri. GameFirst ajuta la reducerea latentelor (aspecte critice intr-un joc online) sau chiar la eliminarea acestora.
