NVIDIA® GeForce® SLI graphics and Hydro Overclocking System

The ROG GX800 features NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1080 SLI graphics, providing super-fast, smooth gameplay and detailed gaming environments.

The GX800 is paired with an advanced version of its predecessor’s, the GX700, Hydro Overclocking System to give it the cooling performance required for extreme overclocking of both the processor and graphics cards.

An ROG-proprietary connection between the Hydro Overclocking System and the GX800 unit ensures coolant flows smoothly, without leaking. The coolant is pumped and circulated around the processor and graphics card, before it returns to the cooling module where two radiators help dissipate the heat. To cope with these demands, GX800 has two 330W power adapters.

Designed for real 4K UHD gaming visuals

The 18-inch ROG GX800 is the world’s first gaming laptop to provide real 4K UHD gameplay for realistic, highly-detailed gaming worlds with faster and smoother frame rates. The GX800 is able to run games at ‘Ultra’ graphics settings at frame rates averaging over 60FPS.

In addition, the combination of NVIDIA® SLI graphics and the Hydro Overclocking System ensures the GX800 has the performance to deliver the very best VR gaming experiences. The GX800 provides super-smooth, stutter-free VR visuals with frame rates exceeding 90FPS. Featuring plug-and-play compatibility with leading VR headsets, the GX800 is designed for immersive VR gaming.
