EVGA
EVGA, another vendor located at
The Grand Hyatt Taipei, had a few
surprising components to show us, not
limited to their overclocking graphics
cards and motherboards, but the all
new TORQ series gaming mice. We
managed to get a look at an announced
gaming keyboard as well, which may
or may not see the light of day, but
we certainly hope it makes it to retail
eventually. Of particular interest was
the water cooled TITAN-Z. This model
is certainly the slimmest, most silent
and perhaps even coolest running
TITAN-Z on the market which should
allow some monster overclocks and
incredible 4K gaming performance.
We saw for the first time, an
upcoming version of the Precision X
software, built completely by EVGA
and not based on Unwinder’s work,
featuring even more tuning capabilities
than the previous versions. In line
with this new version of Precision X
was the similarly skinned companion
software for the new TORQ and TORQ
X10 gaming mouse. This was one of the
more intriguing mice with some unique
features that we will be sure to look at
in future. Leading the Z97 range was
the Z97 Classified, followed by the FTW
and the Mini-ITX Stinger motherboard.
This was not the only action there
was for EVGA though, as K|NGP|N
along with ViVi competed in the INTEL
OC Challenge on the new EVGZ Z97
board and overclocked together again
a set of the EVGA GTX 780 Ti Classified
K|NGP|N Edition cards for hours on
end, hammering away at the records.
GALAXY
GALAXY was all about overclocking
this year. With their team of elite
overclockers, Mad 222, Little_Boy,
OC_WindForce and Duck_San the
team hammered away at benchmarks
every day of the show showing off what
the new GALAXY GeForce GTX 780Ti
HOF V2 could do in the right hands.
As far as build quality is concerned
GALAXY has produced the goods as
the graphics cards ran for days on end
under extremely strenuous conditions.
GAMDIAS
GAMDIAS of course, offering a
different take on gaming peripherals
and managing to stand out in the
ever maturing gaming peripherals
market. Innovation is aplenty here
as the company caters to everyone
from the competitive gamer to the
weekend warrior.
