Asus Republic Of Gamers Tytan CG8580 System Review (i7/GTX680)

The Asus Republic Of Gamers Tytan CG8580 system uses a Sandisk 128GB U100 SSD as the boot drive, and two 1TB Seagate Barracuda hard drives (ST31005 24AS) for storage.

The Sandisk SSD delivers good sequential read and write results, although it is lagging behind leading drives available on the market today. The Seagate mechanical drives are as good as you will get within their sector.

The ATTO Disk Benchmark shows maximum read performance around 500 MB/s from the Sandisk Solid State Unit, and the mechanical drive scores around 120MB/s in both read and write tests.

Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition announced for all systems (including Switch 2)

Just under 10 years ago, Fallout 4 officially released to the world. While the game is far from perfect, it resonated with millions thanks to its sandbox-like design and focus on exploration among other ancillary additions (such as the settlement mechanic and base building). As they have done with many of their previous games, Bethesda has now officially announced Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition – bundling the base game alongside its DLC and hundreds of user-created mods.

  1. wow absolutely amazing, i love the shape of this. nice internals, no ideas on cost? id reckon 2k.

  2. Its designed like their laptops., which I like, altholugh I read a lot of horror stories based on the drivers for the laptops and problems., with them.

  3. This is a very nice system, although it will be priced very high for most people I would imagine.

  4. That front panel looks like it might break. My brother breaks everything so I would imagine people would need to be careful with this. it is pivoting on a spring?
