PC Hardware Reviews

The ROG Strix G18 (2026) pairs an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus with an RTX 5070 Ti, dual Thunderbolt 5 and an 18-inch 300Hz Nebula panel for PHP 244,995. We benchmarked six games in CapFrameX and logged every sensor to find out where the Philippine SKU's 16GB of RAM actually costs you.

The ROG G700 Gaming Desktop pairs an Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF with an RTX 5070 Ti, Gen 5 NVMe storage, and DDR5-6000 memory. We benchmarked seven titles with CapFrameX and measured thermals and power draw to find out if this flagship prebuilt is worth the price.

The ROG Strix B850-F Gaming WiFi7 NEO brings PCIe 5.0, WiFi 7 and strong power delivery to a B-series board. We tested it with a Ryzen 7 9850X3D and RTX 5080 to see if it delivers X870-class behavior without the price.

The AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D pairs Zen 5 with 3D V-Cache for gaming. We benchmarked seven titles, frame times and synthetics on an RTX 5080 rig to see if the smoothness justifies the premium.
