ASUS ROG G20AJ Pro Reviews

The Asus RoG G20AJ-US009S sports a powerful processor and enough graphics prowess to handle demanding games at 1080p and mostly high settings. But its GeForce GTX 760 card is only just powerful enough to make the grade. As we said, we'd like to see Asus take the CPU down a peg or two but bring the graphics card up a notch. The problem with that at the moment is that Nvidia is phasing out the GTX 770 (as well as the 780 and 780 Ti) in favor of its newer, much more energy-efficient GTX 970 and 980 cards. The newer "Maxwell" architecture cards would be excellent options for an SFF rig with cooling and power constraints, but they're both too expensive for a system in the G20's $1,179 price range (the GTX 970 is currently $329 for the card alone).

The Asus Republic of Gamers G20 is a small-form-factor gaming PC with enthusiast-level components and good gaming performance at a moderate price. However, some usability issues crop up when convention is sacrificed in the name of innovation and design.
