Computex 2025 is well underway, and the event has been jam-packed full of new tech reveals, big announcements, and lots of fun showcases around every corner on the show floor. Just ahead of the event, we saw Acer reveal two new OLED gaming monitors, and since doors opened to the convention, we spotted MSI showing off its 500Hz QD-OLED. Now, let’s turn our attention to something from ASUS ROG.

ASUS has manufactured the “World’s Fastest Esports Gaming Monitor” and it’s called the ROG Strix ACE XG248QSG. This impressive display outdoes the competition and becomes the first 610Hz gaming monitor (when overclocked). We got to see it first hand, where ASUS was showing off smoothness and clarity in the classic monitor UFO motion test.

ASUS ROG Strix ACE XG248QSG is incredibly smooth

The impressive high refresh rate sets a new bar for professional gamers, or those competitive enough to warrant the upgrade. Unfortunately, ASUS is yet to confirm the launch date and price tag of the XG248QSG, so we’ll have to wait and see how much a 610Hz display will set you back. Unsurprisingly, this is a 1080p gaming montior and is aiming at the e-sports crowd. Alongside the high refresh rate, it also offers a minimum response time of 0.1ms, and measures under 1ms in Gray-to-Gray.

As you may expect, it passed the UFO test with flying colors and is incredibly smooth. You wouldn’t expect anything less from this new display. ASUS claims that there is just 0.8ms of input lag, which is 56% lower than other 600Hz monitors. You can get a rundown of the ROG Strix ACE XG248QSG specs, features, and more smoothness demonstrations on the ASUS ROG website here.
