ASUS ROG G53SX Naked Eye 3D gaming notebook arrives
You didn’t think ASUS was going to leave it at a single Republic of Gamers motherboard and a clutch of tablets did you? The company’s computing arm has brought a whole bevy of ROG-branded kit to Computex this week, including everything from video cards, gaming notebooks and desktops, 3D displays and more. Top of the tree is probably the ASUS ROG G53SX Naked Eye 3D gaming notebook, with a glasses-free 3D display paired with Sandy Bridge Core i7 processors and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M graphics.

The G53SX can convert 2D content into 3D, and even show 2D and 3D windows on-screen side-by-side, “without compromising brightness, contract or color fidelity” ASUS claims. We’re not sure what that would do to our eyes, but it’s exciting nonetheless. There’s also 2GB of dedicated video memory, a 10,000rpm hybrid hard-drive with SSD partition for reduced boot times, 3DTV Play connectivity, THX and EAX 5.0 3D sound and a stealth-bomber style design.
That styling is shared by other new ASUS gaming notebooks, like the ROG G74Sx 3D, which has the a choice of Core i5 or i7 processors along with GTX 560M GPU, but a regular NVIDIA 3D Vision display demanding active shutter glasses. It has a 17-inch HD display, backlit keyboard and a new thermal design which uses twin fans pulling cool air from the front of the case and twin rear exhausts to expel warm air out the back.
The desktop ROG CG8565 Gaming System, finally, comes with a second-gen Core i7 processor with Z68 chipset and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 GPU. It has a dedicated “Level Up” overclock button on its fascia, automatically boosting performance using ASUS’ DIGI+ VRM technology.
Eventually ASUS will have a video demonstrating the new kit, but at the moment it’s still set to private. No word on pricing or availability of any of the three systems.
