Marvellous Monitors for PC gamers!

Games Computers

Add a comment By Ben

As a gamer, the demands we put on our graphics card can be among the highest and if you're running Nvidia in your gaming PC special monitors can really help take some of the load off by enabling you to turn off that V-Sync – by enabling G-Sync!

G-SYNC fixes screen tearing usually seen when running at frame rates higher than our standard monitors were made to withstand and works by matching up your monitor refresh rate to the output from Nvidia GTX graphics card, it has been available now for just a little over a year and the technology has matured to the point where it's pretty close to perfect :) Praised worldwide for the high-quality performance boosts it can offer, with smooth frame rates and incredibly low ghosting while gaming.

Things are looking better every day with more excellent monitors (and now a G-Sync laptop!) supporting this technology as well. With the latest curved monitor just released we've got pretty much every resolution and size we could want covered, check out the latest range!

24" AOC 144hz G-Sync Gaming Monitor has 1920×1080 covered in everything from first-person shooters to high-speed racing games, you’ll never miss out on the action with 1 ms response time for blur-free images.

Fallout 4 is almost here and our creative monkeys in Gorilla Rigs have built a one of a kind Fallout 4 Gaming PC that's up for grabs to the lucky monkey with the best PERK!

With help from our friends at Asus, Intel, Deepcool and G.Skill we have created a custom Vault 111 Simulation Unit (Gaming PC :) for our talented winner, with an utterly unique Mighty Ape Fallout themed paint job!

We started out with a white Deepcool Steam Castle mATX chassis and broke it down into the many, many pieces to be sent to the first paint team. Disassembling was pretty straight forward, we started looking for any screws we could find and removed them.

EPIC FEATURES! The Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Motherboard

Games Computers

Add a comment By Ben

Asus really mean it when the say Built to game – lets take closer look at some of the killer features offered by the incredible new Asus Z170-PRO GAMING Motherboard!

First up, the Z170 Pro Gaming has SupremeFX audio technology built in with a remarkable SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) of 115dB for near-lossless audio quality. The illuminated red-line shielding creates a pretty eye-catching lighting effect which we snapped a quick video of and share via our Gorilla Rigs Instagram :)

SupremeFX is engineered with effective shielding to prevent electromagnetic interference, preserving the integrity of audio signals for the best quality. It also has a 300-ohm-headphone amplifier to drive some of the very best headphones available for exceptional, immersive gaming audio and music for your listening pleasure.

The Z170 Pro Gaming also offers a uniquely-intelligent RAMCache technology which effectively caches an entire storage device so that favourite games and apps launch at breakneck speeds, getting to work the moment it’s activated. RAMCache turns milliseconds into microseconds to boost game-load times to stratospheric levels, and minimizes risk of data loss. A Ramcache essentially serves as an invisible prioritized hard drive ( in the sense data is present on it ). This hard drive is actually a cache and contains the most commonly accessed data on system. This cache improves performance by taking over key parts of reading and writing the most accessed data. Minimizing and in some cases eliminating the involvement of considerably slower standard storage options. As the read, write and access time performance of DRAM is considerably faster than that of standard storage devices this is where the huge increase in performance comes.
