Hardware overload for gamers

Gaming at 4K is still a pipe dream for many people. Too many roadblocks exist, one of them being the need for high-end hardware to push all those pixels around on a screen at a comfortable pace. However, for those who are equipped with sufficient GPU horsepower, you'll be glad to know that companies are paying more attention to 4K monitors. One of those companies is Asus, which brought its ROG Swift PG27AQ 4K IPS gaming monitor with G-Sync technology to the Consumer Electronics Show.
It's a 27-inch display with a true 10-bit panel featuring a 3840x2160 resolution. The other main attraction, of course, is the inclusion of Nvidia's G-Sync technology, which synchronizes the refresh rates to the computer's graphics card to virtually eliminate screen tearing and vastly reduce stutter and input lag.
Asus also showed off its 7.1 Strix headset. The company dismisses any notion that 7.1 surround is virtual, and instead points out that its headset boasts 10 discrete drivers positioned to bombard the eardrum from different angles. The company also said it did some tuning to its drivers to prevent roll off in the mids and highs.
Some new gaming mice are also on tap from Asus. Have a look:

After giving us our fix of gaming peripherals, Asus showed off its new and forthcoming routers, extenders, mini PCs, motherboards, and some other goodies. Check it out:
