ASUS GameReplay: Practice makes perfect, and that holds true in gaming as well. For popular LAN (local area network) party team games such as Counter Strike and Unreal Tournaments, strategy is the key to victory. GameReplay records gaming action into MPEG4 video files so that teams can review all the moves and tactics to improve for the next tournament. The recorded files can also be used as screen savers or posted on blogs.

GameLiveShow: Just like people who share their lives and thoughts on blogs, expert gamers often want to show off their perfectly executed strategies and five-hit combinations. GameLiveShow is created to allow gamers to stream broadcast their gaming experiences live over the Internet. Other players can now go online to check out how the experts really do it.

GameFace Messenger: It is a user-friendly interface similar to those of the most popular messenger services to simplify the process of inviting multiple players to a gameferences (game conferences). Register, log on and start the fun. GameFace Messenger is as easy as the free messengers currently in the market.

Splendid Video Intelligence Technology: Built into the driver of ASUS graphics cards, Splendid detects activation and usage of video applications and automatically optimizes image quality for the best visual results. Splendid further provides five modes for best visual results in different video applications (Standard, Game, Theater, Scenery and Night)

New and Improved Video Security Online
Video Security Online provides various security-monitoring features. Aside from basic recording functions, users can also specify a particular surveillance area for motion detection. When unauthorized visitors are detected in the defined area, the feature raises an alarm, records a video or takes snapshots and saves it on the hard drive. Video Security further streams real-time video to a web browser, enabling monitoring from a remote location. A warning message system to preprogrammed recipients via email, handset text message or Skype is available as well.

OnScreen Display – Adjust monitor settings without leaving the game
OnScreen Display (OSD) is the world's first PC game display controller for adjusting brightness, contrast and gamma value without leaving the game or changing monitor hardware settings. Simply activate OSD using predefined hot keys and tune image quality during games.
