If you’ve been looking for a wallet-friendly gaming monitor, and you’re also excited about the highly anticipated title DOOM: The Dark Ages, today’s your day. We just announced a comprehensive global bundle initiative with Bethesda and id Software. Purchase one of over two hundred products ranging from motherboards to power supplies, and you’ll score a free game code for DOOM: The Dark Ages. (Certain terms and restrictions apply; read on for more details.) It’s impossible to pick a favorite from a product list that includes many of our most exciting PC components, but one does jump off the page: the ROG Strix XG27ACS.
Even without a free game attached, this monitor is a steal. Available for less than $300 (USD), the ROG Strix XG27ACS upgrades your battle station with a 27-inch 1440p display. Its refresh rate is overclockable to 180Hz, perfect for the fast-paced action of DOOM, and it minimizes blur with its speedy 1ms response time (GTG). For tear-free visuals with low latency, it’s G-Sync compatible, too.
But it’s not just about the panel specs. This affordable gaming monitor delivers on the complete experience. Despite its low price tag, you’ll get a rich set of amenities including generous ergonomic adjustments, a compact stand with a built-in smartphone holder, and a tripod socket. In addition to DisplayPort and HDMI ports, it offers a versatile USB Type-C port ready to accept a display signal, connect up the USB Hub, and top off the battery of a connected device with 7.5W USB Power Delivery.
A brief aside: we’re also offering a free copy of DOOM: The Dark Ages with nearly our entire range of ROG OLED gaming monitors. If you’ve been looking for the right moment to upgrade to this next-gen display technology, now’s your moment. The ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG is easy to recommend thanks to its glossy WOLED panel, ultrasmooth 240Hz refresh rate, and midrange price tag. Or you might treat yourself with the luxurious 32-inch ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM, one of the best-reviewed gaming monitors of 2024.
Whichever eligible monitor you pick, you’ll get access to DOOM: The Dark Ages, the prequel to the critically acclaimed DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal that tells an epic cinematic story worthy of the DOOM Slayer’s legend. Gamers can “Stand and Fight” as the super weapon of gods and kings in this never-before-seen dark and sinister medieval war, with idTech8 native ray tracing delivering next-level graphics fidelity, speed, and visuals. When powered by GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards, AI-powered NVIDIA® DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation boosts FPS and constructs high-quality images, further enhancing the visuals for the definitive DOOM: The Dark Ages PC experience.
Official trailers of the game show off jaw-dropping visuals and animations that gamers will want to experience through high frame rates and in full glory as the developer intended. That’s why we’re bundling the game with a wide range of components, starting with more modest hardware upgrades and running all the way up to full-blown enthusiast-grade gear. The list includes motherboards, PC cases, displays, power supplies, AIO CPU liquid coolers, routers, the ROG NUC, and peripherals.
Starting on May 22nd, the list will also include graphics cards, too. But there is one graphics card available for pre-order right now that can be bundled with DOOM: The Dark Ages, and it’s none other than the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 OC DOOM Edition. This supremely powerful card brings the war against hell into the heart of your gaming PC with its green-and-gold colorway, DOOM Slayer artwork on the backplate, and striking green fans modeled after the Shield Saw.
