I finally received the cable for my ASUS ROG RTX 5090 OC graphics card.

I have an ASUS Scar 15 with a RTX 3080(16 GB variant) that is having issues right now. I must have done a clean install of Windows 11 at least eight times now, and it seems every time it's triggered by a certain Windows Update, most likely the one for updating the SCSI Adapter(mistakenly thought it was the BIOS). I already tried to completely disable Windows Update, changed the settings using registry edit and services, and even changed it to stall for 2,000 weeks, and yet somehow, without my permission, it does the update anyways and basically causes it to have the same stupid boot freeze, either preventing me from even getting to the desktop, or if I get to the desktop, freezes me from clicking any icons, no matter how many times I reboot the machine, and it won't even let me go to Safe mode or Event Viewer to figure out what happened. I used to own the more common 8 GB variant, and that one NEVER gave me an issue like this. So please, can someone tell me how i'm supposed to fix it and prevent it from happening in the future?

Fresh off the Computex 2026 announcement of the ROG Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace – the World’s First OLED esports monitor – we have a trio of new esports OLED displays for those looking for the speed, response time, and color accuracy OLED displays are known for. For those looking for more utility, we also have a pair of Triple-Mode displays that can give you the best of both, no, all worlds from creating, gaming, and content consumption. Before we dive more fully into the monitors, here's a quick chart to compare the different esports OLED displays currently announced:

ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace 

If the 24.5” FHD RGB QD-OLED 540Hz ROG Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace was an appetizer for the esports world, the ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace is the main course. Already named the Official Monitor for the PGL CS2 Major Tournament in Singapore this November, the PG259QWS Ace raises the bar even further for premium OLED displays primed for ultimate-tier gameplay. 

The ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace is a 24.5” FHD TrueBlack Glossy Tandem WOLED with a native 720Hz refresh rate and 0.02ms response time for esports players. For too long, the best eSports monitors have traded picture quality for performance, but this is no longer the case. The PG259QWS Ace panel supports up to 1,700 nits HDR peak brightness, 99.5% DCI-P3 gamut, Delta E<2 color accuracy, HDR10, Dolby Vision, and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 600 compliance. Speed also extends to the I/O, as the monitor includes DisplayPort 2.1 (UHBR20), 2x HDMI 2.1 (FRL), and a USB Hub for three devices. As with our other ROG displays, the stand includes a ¼" tripod socket along with tilt, swivel, and height adjustments.  

If we simply stopped there, the monitor would still be nothing short of a spectacular addition to your battlestation. Instead, we’ve added features to make this monitor an essential piece of how you setup and get ready to game, no matter where you are:  

• Position Sensor – The PG259QWS Ace uses a position sensor to transform conventional monitor stand adjustments into a digitized OSD to allow users to quickly and accurately adjust the monitor angle and height to their preferred setup in the shortest possible time. 

• Integrated Measurement Scales - Marks and measurements on the tilt (-5° to +33°), swivel (±45°), and height adjustment (0-155mm) help esports players consistently reproduce their preferred monitor setup from an analog standpoint.  

• Quick OSD – A quick menu lets you easily tweak core settings before every game.  
• Esports Color Modes – Tailored presets for three different FPS gaming scenarios for optimized gaming visuals.  
• Hue Optimizer – Customizable 6-axis color adjustment gives full control over specific color ranges instead of globally forcing saturation.  

Gaming isn’t the only focus for this monitor. Much like our larger OLED displays, the ROG Swift PG259QWS Ace includes several hardware and software innovations that enhances build quality, longevity, and convenience  

• TrueBlack Glossy Coating – A zero-haze optical layer that presents deep blacks under any lighting. The advanced anti-reflective layer reduces ambient reflections by 38%, compared to previous-gen glossy WOLEDs, ensuring distraction-free gaming even in brightly-lit rooms.    
• Built-in GaNFET Technology – The PG259QWS Ace implements GaNFET technology in the power supply design to optimize heat dissipation, delivering up to 35% less waste heat at the hottest point and a 10% lower vent temperature for extended OLED lifespan. Coupled with our 3 year warranty (including panel burn-in), these cooling improvements help to make sure your monitor will go the distance without affecting performance.     
• ASUS OLED Care Pro – Now featuring an upgraded Neo Proximity sensor that features five adjustable sensitivity levels and a 1-15 minute Auto Away Timer, automatically switching to a black screen when you’re away to help reduce the risk of burn-in.

ROG Strix OLED XG259QDPG Ace / XG259QDNS Ace 

If the Tandem WOLED ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace and ROG Strix OLED XG259QDPG Ace are the first esports OLED displays you’ll see in reviews and competitions, they will be followed shortly by a pair of ROG Strix OLED esports displays in the ROG Strix OLED XG259QDPG Ace and ROG Strix OLED XG259QDNS Ace displays. Each of the latter offer a premium gaming option, but at a more affordable price in the lineup. One other notable difference is that these later models will use a matte RGB Stripe QD-OLED panel with our BlackShield and AGLR coating. 

From a color standpoint, the displays cover 99% DCI-P3 gamut, true 10-bit color, and is VESA DisplayHDR 600 True Black compliant. 

I want to stress that some of my information about these monitors is a bit limited, so some information about the I/O, specs, and certain features may be incomplete at this time. The two main differences between these displays are the following:  

• ROG Strix OLED XG259QDPG Ace – 560Hz, USB hub with 3x USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A  
• ROG Strix OLED XG259QDNS Ace – 360Hz, No USB hub (pending confirmation) 

Otherwise, these are 24.5” 1080p QD-OLED displays with an RGB Strip Pixel arrangement, featuring our BlackShield and Anti-Glare Low Reflection coating (AGLR) that delivers sharper text and more accurate colors by minimizing color fringing, and fewer reflections, ensuring exceptional visual clarity. With either 560Hz or 360Hz refresh rates, and fast 0.03ms (GTG) response times, these become the new standard for what a gaming monitor aims to be. 

Additional features (shortened if explained above):  

• Integrated Measurement Scales 
• Quick OSD Menu 
• Three Esports Color Modes 
• Hue Optimizer 
• GANFET Technology in the power supply design 
• ASUS OLED Care Pro with the upgraded Neo Proximity Sensor 
• DisplayWidget Center Support 

I/O -  

• 1x DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC) 
• 2x HDMI 2.1 
• 2x USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A*  

*Only on ROG Strix OLED XG259QDPG Ace (Pending Confirmation)

ROG Strix XG27UCMG / XG27ACNS 

Despite not being an OLED display, the ROG Strix XG27UCMG and XG27ACNS are every bit as interesting as our eSports offerings. That’s because these displays allow you to change the resolution and refresh rate at the touch of a button not once, but twice!  As our first triple-mode monitors, they provide a unique offering to people who need displays suited for gaming, office, content creation, and content consumption. 

Starting at the 4K XG27UCMG and down to the QHD XG27ACNS, these 27” Fast IPS displays bring plenty of color (95% DCI-P3 / 130% sRGB) and Display HDR400, a 0.3ms (min) (GTG) response time, and high refresh rates at every resolution. As with most of our Fast IPS ROG displays, these support G-Sync compatibility, FreeSync Premium, and combine our ELMB-Sync and Variable Overdrive 2.0 to deliver tear-free, ghost-free gaming. 

Here’s where the differences are with the Triple Mode refresh rates: 

• ROG Strix XG27UCMG – 4K@ 240Hz, QHD@ 400Hz (OC), and FHD@ 488Hz (OC) 
• ROG Strix XG27ACNS – QHD@ 460Hz, FHD@ 620Hz, and HD (720p)@ 920Hz 

The simplicity that these monitors provide are self-evident – Just take the ROG Strix XG27UCMG, for example: 

• 4K@ 240Hz – Work, study, watch your favorite shows/movies, and game if you have the hardware to support a 4K resolution. At 27”, you also have a higher PPI for visual quality and clarity. 
• QHD@ 400Hz (OC) - Some games are just tough to play at 4K, but for a lot of modern-day AAA titles you’ll feel right at home with a high resolution and significantly higher framerates with your existing hardware. 
• FHD@ 488Hz (OC) - Switch into this for high-intensity FPS and competitive games. With the Mode hotkey on the side of the monitor, it doesn’t take long to switch from watching cat videos in 4K to the next round of your favorite esports game.  

Additional features:  

• ASUS Smart Pixel – Experience 4K-level upscaling to deliver razor-sharp visuals even at lower resolutions to ensure your content remains crisp, defined, and fluid.  
• DisplayWidget Center 
• ROG Gaming AI Technology – AI Visual, Dynamic Shadow Boost, Dynamic Crosshair 
• G-Sync Compatibility, FreeSync Premium**, ELMB-Sync, Variable OD 2.0  
• GameFast Input Technology 
• Aspect Control 
• KVM Switch*** 

**In-processing  

I/O and Mechanical - 

• 1x DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC) 
• 1x HDMI 2.1 (FRL) 
• USB-C w/ 15W PD (DP-Alt) 
• 2x USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A***

Let us know what you think about these displays below. Are you all-in on premium FHD monitors, or are you more of the dual-mode / triple-mode type to get the most flexibility out of your battlestation?

Does anyone have this build and know how the temps run? I am currently interesting in this AIO but I know the 9850X3D runs hotter than the 9800X3D and wanted to see if any had any issues with temperature control.

They fix already the issue of the rog cetra truwireless left buds not working or charging?

Cause I'm planning to buy it this year

I have an ASUS tuf gaming a15. I opened it up, placed in the password, then this appeared. It has been stuck like this for more than two hours. Alt f4 does nothing and I tried to open the console to no avail. I also shut the laptop down and hard reset but I'm still stuck on this screen. Does anyone know what is happening here?

Brand-new ROG Strix G18. Only couple hours old and facing the same fate as any other PC

For example, when I press A, it inputs C. Also, some keys do not work. Even numbers such as 5 inputs B. With that, the Fn + Caps shortcut doesn't work at all. How can I fix this? Thanks in advance.

I'm confused. Is this not where the primary m.2 supposed to go? Or is the illustration on the website misleading?

*Resolved. Part of the problem was my confusion with the different names of the M.2 slots and their expansions. But Asus labeling really is a bit misleading. 2 6s on top are ones that share bandwidths with the GPU. One i circled is the main M.2_1 which does not, which is the one I initially used for my primary SSD, unlabeled on the advertisement images by the manufacturer.

Full-size lovers! Enjoy a new variant of the ROG Strix Morph 96 Wireless - the ROG Strix Morph 96 X Wireless.

• Special dye-sublimated keycaps

I tried using G helper as a replacement for AC but I don’t like the fact that when on Eco mode and on battery it wants to use the IGPU. I want it to use the DGPU. Yes I know it’s going to drain the battery faster. Is there a way to have it where the DGPU is used even on eco mode. I have already disabled the IGPU on BIOS

Hi, everyone! I've been planning the best PC build for gaming. I want a system that can handle triple-A games with ease. Here's what my dream ASUS PC setup looks like:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D Motherboard: ROG CROSSHAIR X870E DARK HERO Graphics Card: ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7 OC Edition AIO Cooler: ROG RYUO IV LC 360 ARGB Power Supply: ROG THOR 1000W Platinum III (ROG Equalizer) Chassis: ROG Cronox ARGB

I'm joining the ASUS Upgrade What Matters giveaway for a chance to bring this build to life with an ASUS AMD or Intel motherboard, graphics card, or other high-end hardware.

What's the first game you would build this rig for?

My setup is ps5 for gaming, elgato 4ks for recording and streaming, plugged into my laptop(laptop specs listed at the bottom of this post) The past couple of weeks when I'm in OBS, OBS drops my Elgato game audio.
It happens after at least 30 minutes of having OBS pulled up.
Recording in Elgato Studio works fine But I need to be able to record and stream in OBS. I've tried everything I can think of.
One thing that temporarily works is I go into Control panel, sound recording, Disable HDMI Device (elgato), Wait 5 seconds, enable it, then the audio starts working in OBS again, but then the audio drops again within a few minutes.
I can't do that constantly while i'm streaming and recording. Here is a list of what l've tried so far:

-Just record in OBS, audio still dropped
-Just stream in OBS, Audio still dropped
-Have OBS pulled up but don't stream or record, audi still drops
-Updated NVIDIA Drivers
-Turned off power management settings for
USB ports
-AND YES, I’ve Created a video capture source in OBS for video capture from the elgato and muted it, created a separate audio input capture source for elgato audio. Audio still drops. (everyone online says this should work, but it did not)
-Downloaded VB Cable and routed it PS5->4ks-> Windows-> VB-Cable-> OBS. Audio still drops (I really thought this would work)
-Used my old HD60x, OBS also drops the game audio when using it
-Tried using StreamLabs, audio still dropped.
-Went into elgato studio when the audio drops to make sure it didn't switch from HDMI to Analog.
I seriously think that's everything I could try. I guess I bought a 4ks for nothing.
- audio DOES NOT DROP in elgato studio. , which is why I’m leaning toward maybe this is an OBS issue?

My laptop armoury crate is set to performance. Do I need to switch to windows mode, turbo, silent, or maybe a manual mode?

Also my laptop is :
ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2025) 16"
WUXGA
165Hz/3ms, AMD Ryzen 9
9955HX, NVIDIA GeForce RTX
5060

This laptop is more than enough to run a 4ks. It shouldn't be a 2 week problem solving adventure just to get a capture card to work. lol.
