Damn! Nice upgrade! I wish I had a 17-incher just for the additional headroom haha.

Share some benches please! Passmark, 3DMark, anything!

Didn't overclock anything. The dock works with both HP 8770w and HP 8740w. That way i can switch them out.

That is an impressive upgrade...I was wondering would a 1080 fit

[jhelton48]

GTX 1060 will work as long as its dreamcolor display

[jhelton48]

This is my setup

HP 8770W or HP 8740 both work with same docking station.

I was actually building this laptop for my wife. But she never got to use it. Sadly she passed away from terminal cancer February 15, 2022

so sorry to hear that bro!! I hope your strong and will pull through these tough times. so sorry man 😞

 

I noticed alot of talk around this laptop, im thinking of possibly buying one refurbished, seems like a solid machine

My wife had been battling cancer her whole life. 37 years fighting it and it finally took her life. At least i know she's not hurting anymore. Thank you

HP 8740w is what i was using before i started on the HP8770w. Both have the GTX 970m. HP8770w are good laptops and i love both of the laptops i have. Get the HP 8770w if you can. Need me help on any of this let me know. And i thank you
