ASUS ROG launches new ROG Strix pre-built AMD-powered desktops
Rounding up ROG’s immense lineup of AMD-powered devices
ASUS ROG is joining the fray for world-class gaming desktop builds these days. To complete their ROG Renoir lineup of devices, the company has released its latest gaming desktop PCs fit for a more competitive environment. These new systems will sport the latest AMD processors to ensure game-ready performance for competitive gamers and Esports athletes alike. Also, these systems will bring content-creation capable hardware, as well.
One of these devices is the ASUS ROG Strix G35DX, the desktop system geared for competition. This system comes with up to an AMD Ryzen 9 3950X CPU, complete with 16 cores for all the raw power you need. Along with this, the system comes with up to an NVIDIA RTX 2080Ti inside for an enhanced gaming experience. These two alone will give you the performance you need to run competitive titles at stunning rates. Also, the RTX 2080Ti supports 4K resolution gaming so even your gaming experience is visually amazing.
The other powerful desktop system on deck is the ASUS ROG Strix G15DH, more suited for content creators and casual gamers. Unlike the ROG Strix G35DX, the G15DH comes with up to an AMD Ryzen 7 3800X processor and an NVIDIA RTX 2070 SUPER GPU. In theory, it’s not as powerful as the G35DX but can still deliver excellent performance for work and play.
These two machines will be available starting August 21 in ASUS and ROG accredited stores nationwide, starting at the following prices:
| MODEL NAME | CPU | RAM | GPU | STORAGE | SRP | HARD BUNDLE |

| G15DH-PH005T | R5-3600X | 8G | GTX 1650 4GD5 | 1TB + 256G SSD | ₱49,995 | Gaming Keyboard + Mouse |
ASUS is also offering a special promo when you order the ROG Strix G15DH between August 21 to September 20.

AMD FSR Upscaling 4.1 now available for Radeon RX 7000 Series
Update drops earlier than expected, powering more than 300 supported games
PC and handheld gamers can officially skip the wait, as AMD has launched its FSR 4.1 upscaling technology for Radeon RX 7000 series (RDNA 3) GPUs.
Computing and Graphics Group Senior Vice President and GM Jack Huynh made the announcement on X (formerly Twitter). This development brings machine learning powered gaming to millions of players across more than 300 games.
By downloading the latest AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver, users can unlock the new AI upscaling suite on existing RX 7000 series desktop graphics cards.
(The driver can be downloaded here.)
The update drastically sharpens image reconstruction, delivers far superior temporal stability, and keeps motion ghosting to an absolute minimum. That’s across a massive library of supported titles.
Beyond optimized frame rates out of the gate for those two blockbusters, the release packs vital architecture stability improvements and bug fixes for the broader Radeon ecosystem.
Huynh added that AMD is actively engineering lightweight machine learning models to expand FSR 4.1 optimizations to a wider base of gamers. More details are to come.
Moreover, the driver for the FSR 4.1 upscaling technology will deliver day-one support for two highly anticipated releases: Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations.
if you are wielding an RDNA 3 desktop rig or an RDNA 3-powered handheld, like the ROG Ally X or Lenovo Legion GO, simply open up the AMD Software suite, get the update, and test the new AI tech.
