Hello.
I am a new owner of this notebook: Asus Sitrix G614JI, GPU RTX4070, i7-10750H,32GB RAM
I have also Asus TUF (RTX3050TI) and Acer Nitro (RTX3060).
My experience so far is very disappointing. First, the SSD was old and slow, Micron 2400. Slower than my two years older ACER . But my bigger issue is the thermal throttle of the RTX4070 GPU. I tried almost every option in Armory Crate, GPU Tweak and G-Helper without ANY success. The result is always that Strix is with 2 times worse performance on my GPU tests than the much older and cheaper TUF and Nitro!
Behavior is always the same - once the GPU and CPU start together performing some heavier calculations, after 10-20 seconds the temperatures rises 5-10 degrees, not more than 60 degrees of the GPU according to G-Helper , which is rather low, but the thermal throttle shuts down both CPU and GPU and performance drops 4 times to rather funny levels. This makes the notebook practically unusable for me because I need it is for calculations not for games, not that as a game machine it is much better. It is much worse than the TUF with the RTX3050TI and the Nitro, both of which were much cheaper. So why someone will buy a new ASUS notebook with all this NEW graphics cards - 4070, 4080, 50x, if they are performing so badly, much worse than the cheaper models. If you pay more you expect better and more reliable PC, you don't pay thousands of dollars just for a fancy keyboard.
I have lost hope with the ROG and I don't believe that someone can help me with the issues, but anyway, at least sharing experience? Is this defects with this specific model? Or is about the market - East Europe? Is it possible to check somehow that notebook is new and not already used? I noticed for example that BIOS was v330 which is relatively new, from the end of 2024. Why BIOS has been updated on a notebook that is supposed to be brand new and never opened? Is it possible to check with the SN if the notebook is new and was not used?
I have the latest NVIDIA driver, Windows 11 x64 and the most recent drivers (as shown in G-Helper - everything is updated).
Thanks.
