Damn! All gone! Gotta act fast...

I have a Strix with a 6800M. Is the 7700S a substantial upgrade?

Concerning in such an expensive laptop?


"95-100w... but the system cannot handle running at full power, it 100% will thermal throttle on you. I returned mine because this thing runs ridiculously hot! I have a 3050ti Asus Tuf from last year to compare to this and it doesn't run nearly as loud or hot despite having almost the same exact TGP. Totally underwhelming performance, I'd rather try a 4050 honestly."

Open box is $570 if you want to save a few more bucks. Easy return if any issues.
the problem with open boxes are the warranties. If you're not the original owner asus won't consider warranties per what I read from the comments in some threads here in SD

You definitely should not be taking advice from this averagejoe guy. His reasoning is below average.

1 year warranty isn't even much. How often do your electronics die? I still have my Y50-70 and vostro 1500...all over 7yrs old...

yeah. I had to take warranty twice for two of my gpus. it probably depends if you get a really good unit or lemon ones. maybe its just me but I like to have the peace of mind.

Looking at NoteBookCheck, the 7700S performs between the 4050 and 4060 in most titles, basically squaring off against the 3060.

Asus is known for being terrible with their warranties so that's not a big deal.
