Sonic Radar
With this exclusive tool you’ll benefit from a stealthy overlay that displays the precise direction and origin of in-game sounds, helping you to hone your enemy-pinpointing skills and giving you the edge in first-person shooters.
The in-game sound sources pinpointed by Sonic Radar:
Six sound detection
Networking that
just goes faster!
The difference between defeat and victory can be measured in milliseconds. That’s why we’ve equipped B85-PRO GAMER with networking technology that puts your frags first!
Intel® Gigabit Ethernet
The very latest Intel® Gigabit Ethernet means faster, smoother gaming — always. Intel’s LAN has the serious double advantage of communicating directly with Intel CPUs and offering exceptionally high TCP and UDP throughput. This significantly reduces the processor’s workload, so there’s more power for your game and your gameplay!
2X-faster UDP game-data performance
ASUS engineers used IxChariot, an independent network-assessment test tool, to determine just how much quicker Intel Gigabit Ethernet deals with the UDP data packets that are vital for responsive gaming. The results are in — and with B85-Pro Gamer your game-data packets flow up to two times (2X) faster than other gaming-LAN technologies.
GameFirst II
GameFirst II with cFosSpeed traffic-shaping technology adds even more lag-reducing support, with an EZ Mode that lets you lower lag with no expert knowledge – by up to eight times (8X)! If you’re a tweaker, use Advanced Mode for hardcore controls.
Greatly reduce latency, even during heavy downloading and uploading
