Also onboard are NVIDIA Quad-GPU SLI technology, providing more choice for users who wish to use a multi-GPU system and the popular Dual Intelligent Processors 2 (DIP2) feature, which has been hailed by media as “the best power management technology” in motherboards today. Along with DIP2, ASUS has adopted DIGI+ VRM, UEFI BIOS and exclusive USB 3.0 Boost technology, providing users with the world’s first complete UAS Protocol Support to instantly boost USB drive speed by up to 170%.

This eliminates digital-to-analog conversion lag, optimizing system performance and stability as well as greater power efficiency.

The current world record of 8.429GHz achieved on an AMD FX series processor was run on the Republic of Gamers Crosshair V Formula motherboard, demonstrating the extreme performance that ROG motherboards can achieve. A standalone version as well as a bundled version with ROG ThunderBolt both offer 3-Way SLI native support and are currently available in the market, giving gamers more choice than ever in how to dominate their opponent.
