The “One-Punch” CPU over clocking capability is combined with the IceTunnel cooling system to keep the system chilled at excess speeds, giving players an overwhelming power boost to take them through any tricky in-game situation.
The G6 runs on NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 980 with UHD 4K2K (3840 x 2160) display capabilities. Paired with a matching high resolution monitor, such as the curved Predator Z35 with G-SYNC technology, even the most demanding gamer can enjoy incredible visuals, free from stuttering.
The G6 comes with Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi MB5 (with Environmental Audio Extensions (EAX) 5.0 and 5.1 channel audio support) with new UI and customizable personal sound profile so users can tune the system to a new level of audio immersion.

High resolution gaming is facilitated by its 1080p Full HD projection. 20,000:1 contrast ratio delivers the most vivid image, such that black and white create the highest contrast possible. Games will look crisp and clear, even when you blow them up to massive screen sizes.
