ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) showcased its latest lineup of gaming products at Computex 2026, highlighting high-performance PCs, graphics cards, OLED monitors, networking equipment, and gaming accessories powered by the latest NVIDIA RTX 5090 technology.

While the event also marked ROG’s 20th anniversary, the spotlight was on new hardware designed for gamers, content creators, and users running artificial intelligence (AI) workloads.

Among the flagship products introduced was the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Edition 20 graphics card. The GPU features a curved AMOLED display that can show system information and custom animations. ASUS said its quad-fan cooling system improves airflow by up to 20%, helping manage the heat generated by demanding games and AI applications.

For PC enthusiasts building high-end systems, ROG also introduced the Crosshair X870E Edition 20 motherboard. It includes built-in liquid cooling for both the processor and power delivery components, support for up to nine M.2 storage drives, and dual AMOLED displays for monitoring system performance.

ASUS paired these components with the ROG Thor 3000W Titanium III Edition 20 power supply, which can support systems running up to four RTX 5090 graphics cards. The power supply received a Computex Best Choice Award in the Computer & System category.

The company also expanded its gaming desktop lineup with the ROG G1000 Edition 20. The desktop supports up to an RTX 5090 GPU and AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor and uses a cooling system capable of dissipating up to 1,000 watts of heat. The product won the Computex Best Choice Golden Award in the Gaming & Immersive Tech category.

For gamers who want powerful hardware in smaller spaces, ASUS introduced the ROG NUC 16 Edition 20 mini PC. Despite its compact three-liter chassis, it houses an RTX 5090 Laptop GPU and supports up to five 4K displays.

ASUS also revealed the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-G Edition 20 monitor, which can operate at up to 540Hz in QHD mode or 720Hz in HD mode. The company also presented what it described as the world’s first OLED esports monitor, the ROG Strix OLED XG259QWPG ACE, featuring a 540Hz refresh rate and a 0.02-millisecond response time.

Networking products also received attention with the ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro Edition 20 gaming router. Built on WiFi 7 technology, the router supports speeds of up to 30Gbps and includes gaming-focused traffic prioritization features.

On the portable gaming front, ASUS introduced the ROG XBOX Ally X20 Bundle. The handheld gaming system features a 7.4-inch HDR OLED display and an AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme processor. It comes bundled with ROG XREAL R1 Edition 20 augmented reality (AR) gaming glasses, allowing users to play on a virtual large-screen display.

“The Journey of Dare began with a defiant spirit, a refusal to settle for the status quo. We don’t just play, we play to win, but victory was never our finish line,” said Jonney Shih, chair of ASUS. “With every win we pushed further, moving beyond performance to reimagine aesthetics and redefine the entire ecosystem.”

The announcements show ASUS expanding ROG beyond traditional gaming PCs into a broader ecosystem that includes AI-capable hardware, networking equipment, displays, accessories, and portable gaming devices.
