The Future of Gaming: Alienware's High-Performance Systems and Technology

Have 1080p gaming on your big screen TV at over 60 frames per second, that's what we really designed the system to do. And the system's fully upgradable as new graphics and new processing systems and technologies come out every year, you can upgrade the system it's made with full desktop parts and so you can continually stay on the edge of performance and outpace those console games right. So in terms of the $699 brace price for the X51 stock model, featuring i3 eight gigs of ram yeah one terabyte it's featuring an i3 eight gigs of ram a one terabyte hard drive and a GTX 645 graphics card at the base right, and how is that comparable as well as a slot loading DVD drive as well, and how is that comparable to the next gen consoles like the PS4 um in terms of performance so that will be on par with next gen consoles in terms of performance you'll still be able to play 1080p graphics and you'll still have over 30 frames per second on those games um if you want to outpace those next-gen consoles i would recommend upgrading to either an $899 or a $1099 config right.

In the Round Table Discussion, the topic of working with game developers and custom API that allows the game to interact with the color options on your Alienware machine was discussed. This technology is called AlienFX, and each one of our systems has between three and eight different lighting zones that you can control on the computer, all of those are controlled via an API which we give to game developers so the game developers can program that API into their game so that the lighting on your system can change depending on what's going on in-game. In Battlefield 3 as an example when you're getting shot at your system will flash red to tell you that you're losing health and that you need to do something right, um we've worked with EA and Battlefield 3 that's a huge title we worked with a lot of smaller titles as well um we have over 50 games currently within our portfolio that support AlienFX and we're continually looking to onboard new developers whether it's game developers or other software as well right.

The big announcement at E3 was the Alienware 18, also known as the Monster Notebook. It is an 18-inch gaming laptop that comes standard with dual graphics card configurations in NVIDIA SLI, it has a 1080p IPS screen at its base so you're going to get better viewing angles with that type of screen and it's going to have better brightness than you would if you were going to get another type of screen right. An LED this system starts with i7 processors and 8 gigs of ram if you configure up the system you can get up to three different hard drives that fit within it, and you can also get overclocked processors as well um you can get it either factory overclocked where we overclock it and send it straight to you or you can choose to overclock the system yourself if you prefer.

When asked about the advantages of people going with an Alienware versus building something themselves when you get looking into a desktop, the answer is that the small form factor of this system is going to be very hard to construct on your own as well though i think there are a few options out there where people have tried to really get into that but you might be pinching your fingers a little bit inside the tiny case um but when it comes to gaming in general, you know if you want to build your own system go for it we fully support it we understand that that's a big part of what makes PC gaming so cool but an Alienware system is going to come to you out of the box, it's going to work you're going to know all of those components have been tested to be fully compatible with each other deliver a high level of performance and if you ever have any problems we're there with warranty and support that can help you out.

The article goes on to mention that the 4K gameplay of the latest Batman game is quite amazing to see in such high resolution, and it's technology making its way into the consumer world and becoming more accessible. The event ended with a thank you from the host, thanking everyone for watching and looking forward to seeing them in the next video.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso now i'm here with ross from alienware and he's going to talk to us about some of the new things that are being released with this uh something you announced at e3 so first of all the x51 it's uh it's not a new product but you guys have done some uh upgrades to it so tell us about the alienware x51 and exactly where does it fit within the whole gaming pc slash console market yeah the x51 we we originally released it back of january 2012 um but this year we upgrade it with the latest ivy bridge processors as well as um next generation nvidia geforce graphics card so we've got the 700 series graphics cards in place now this system we like to call it a console size gaming pc it's just a little bit larger than your older xboxes it's made to either be set up on a desktop or placed into a living room next to a tv and it has an aesthetic to match that so that it doesn't stand out in the living room either we've been able to pack a ton of power into this game into the system so if you get the base configuration you're going to be able to play your games at 30 frames per second and it's only 6.99 price point which is the lowest price point that you can start at with an alienware um and then if you want to configure up the system to over a thousand dollars you're going to be able to have 1080p gaming on your big screen tv at over 60 frames per second and that's what we really designed the system to do and the system's fully upgradable as new graphics and new processing systems and technologies come out every year you can upgrade the system it's made with full desktop parts and so you can continually stay on the edge of performance and outpace those console games right so in terms of the 699 brace price for the x51 stock model so that featuring i3 eight gigs of ram yeah one terabyte it's featuring an i3 eight gigs of ram a one terabyte hard drive and a gtx 645 graphics card at the base right and how is that comparable as well as a slot loading dvd drive as well and how is that comparable to the next gen consoles like the ps4 um in terms of performance so that will be on par with next gen consoles in terms of performance you'll still be able to play 1080p graphics and you'll still have over 30 frames per second on those games um if you want to outpace those next-gen consoles i would recommend upgrading to either an 8.99 or a 1099 config right so in this round table discussion you guys brought up the idea of you guys are working with game developers and custom api that allows the game to interact with the color options on your alienware machine so can you tell us about what's going on how many titles are in the development and things like that so we called it technology alien fx and each one of our systems has between three and eight different lighting zones that you can control on the computer all of those are controlled via an api which we give to game developers so the game developers can program that mpi into their game so that the lighting on your system can change depending on what's going on in-game so in battlefield 3 as an example when you're getting shot at your system will flash reddit you to tell you that you're losing health and that you need to do something right um we've worked with you know ea and battlefield 3 that's a huge title we worked with a lot of smaller titles as well um we have over 50 games currently within our portfolio that support alien fx and we're continually looking to onboard new developers whether it's game developers or other software as well right and so you announced a few machines at e3 now they're finally making their way into canada so tell us about the the big i guess the monster notebook so the monster notebook is the alienware 18. it is an 18-inch gaming laptop it comes standard with dual graphics card configurations in the nvidia sli it has a 1080p ips screen at its base so you're going to get better viewing angles with that type of screen and

out all right thanks man yeah thank you all right so guys this is a wrap it's been sort of a cool event talking about the future of gaming talking to rick lucas and bunch of guys from alienware right right behind me it's really cool the 4k gameplay of the latest batman game which is uh quite amazing to see in such high resolution the form a monitor that has not yet been released i'm not allowed to give you any more information about it but it's uh definitely a technology that's making its way into the consumer world and becoming more accessible so again thanks for watching and we'll see you in next videoso now i'm here with ross from alienware and he's going to talk to us about some of the new things that are being released with this uh something you announced at e3 so first of all the x51
