Acer’s well-received Predator Orion 5000 has gotten an upgrade, and it includes some of the best hardware you can find on any gamer-centric desktop PC to date.

The new Orion 5000 (model name PO5-605S) can now accommodate up to a 9th-generation Intel Core i9-9900K processor with a Z390 chipset and GeForce RTX 2080 graphics card. That’s a seriously powerful combo, especially since the CPU can be overclocked thanks to Cooler Master’s liquid cooling system.

You also get up to 64GB of RAM and an assortment of SSD and HDD options on easy-to-swap expansion bays. 2.5Gbps Ethernet is available, as well as tunable RGB lighting visible through the mid-tower’s see-through panels.

“With the latest gaming technologies like a GeForce RTX GPU and overclockable 9th-gen Intel Core i9-9900K processor, the new Orion 5000 packs enough power to satisfy even the most demanding gamers,” said Jeff Lee, General Manager for Stationary Computing, IT Product Business, Acer Inc.

Acer also announced a new 43-inch Predator LFGD (large format gaming display) which features a 4K resolution and 144Hz refresh rate. Its VA panel offers Adaptive Sync and a wide color gamut of 90 percent of the DCI-P3 color space.

No exact pricing or availability dates have been mentioned, but these two products will definitely hit Asian markets in the coming months.

GIGABYTE releases new AORUS RTX 5080 INFINITY graphics cards

In sci-fi and wood designs

Published

GIGABYTE has launched two new AORUS INFINITY graphics cards in celebration of its 40th anniversary, giving PC builders more options for their custom builds.

These are the AORUS GeForce RTX 5080 INFINITY 16G and the unique, nature-inspired AORUS GeForce RTX 5080 INFINITY WOOD 16G.

These high-end components are genuine design objects meant to elevate the look of one’s entire setup, while also providing topnotch GPU performance.

The new models build on the design language of the AORUS GeForce RTX 5090 INFINITY and further evolve the signature aerospace turbine-inspired aesthetic with integrated RGB lighting elements.

Particularly, the WOOD edition integrates wood-grain elements as its core design language, blending the warmth of natural textures with high-performance hardware.

As such, it is a crown jewel for lifestyle-focused users and interior design lovers, bringing a sense of warmth and emotional resonance.

At the same time, both are absolute powerhouses inside. GIGABYTE packed the new AORUS INFINITY models with the WINDFORCE Hyperburst cooling system.

The patented Hawk fan design minimizes airflow turbulence and noise while achieving higher air pressure and greater air volume.

In the thermal design is a large vapor chamber making direct contact with the GPU. This is paired with composite copper heat pipes to effectively accelerate heat transfer efficiently.

Both new AORUS INFINITY graphics cards support the Project Stealth series for a streamlined building experience.

The concealed power connector design neatly hides cables within the graphics card structure for a cleaner, less cluttery look.
