DTS Connect
To get the most out of your audio entertainment across all formats and quality levels, DTS
Connect combines two enabling technologies, DTS Neo:PC™ up mixes stereo sources (CDs,
MP3s, WMAs, internet radio) into as many as 7.1 channels of incredible surround sound.
Consumers can connect their PC to a home theatre system. DTS Interactive is capable of
performing multichannel encoding of DTS bitstreams on personal computers, and sending
encoded bitstreams out of a digital audio connection (such as S/PDIF or HDMI) designed to
deliver audio to an external decoder.
RAMCache
ROG’s unique technology caches either whole data les or their most frequently-used
fragments, depending on your available memory — getting to work from the moment it’s
activated. RAMCache turns milliseconds into microseconds to boost game-load times to
stratospheric speeds, and minimize risk of data loss!
RAMDisk
RAMDisk reserves part of system memory and turns it into actual storage, so you can
place favorite app and game cache les in it to enjoy high-speed RAM performance while
accessing them. Plus, this extends SSD lifespan and keeps your main storage optimized for
really important tasks, and you get auto data backup and restore.
RAMDisk only supports 64-bit operating systems.
