The ASUS TUF Gaming FX504 launched in 2018 as a budget entry point into discrete-GPU gaming, built for students and casual gamers who wanted a dedicated graphics card without paying flagship prices. It shipped under several model numbers, including FX504GD, FX504GE, FX504GM, and FX504GE-ES52, each tied to a different GPU tier. The FX504 held up thanks to a reinforced chassis, a full-size keyboard layout, and a GPU that still handles esports titles and older AAA games at 1080p. That combination of durability and real gaming hardware is exactly what keeps demand steady on the used market.

Confirm you have the ASUS TUF Gaming FX504

The fastest way to check is Windows itself. Press Windows key + R, type dxdiag, and press Enter. The System tab shows the exact model string, and the Display tab shows which GPU is installed. You can also run msinfo32 the same way for a fuller hardware summary. If the laptop won't boot, flip it over and read the model number printed on the bottom panel sticker, near the regulatory markings.

FX504GD

  • Paired with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050
  • Entry-level GPU tier of the FX504 line
  • Most common variant sold in the US

FX504GE

  • Paired with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
  • Step up from the GD in graphics performance
  • Same chassis and port layout as other FX504 variants

FX504GM

  • Paired with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060
  • Top graphics tier in the FX504 lineup
  • Best resale value of the four variants

FX504GE-ES52

  • Regional SKU of the FX504GE with GTX 1050 Ti
  • Same internals as standard FX504GE units
  • Suffix reflects retail packaging, not hardware differences

Prefer a visual check? The FX504 lid has a brushed, camo-style texture with a TUF logo, the keyboard backlight glows red only (no RGB), and the hinge area carries a visible metal reinforcement bar. For a step-by-step visual guide, see how to find your ASUS model number.

Core hardware configurations

Processor

  • Intel Core i5, 8th Gen
  • Intel Core i7, 8th Gen
  • Intel Core i5, 9th Gen

Graphics

  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050, 1050 Ti, or GTX 1060, depending on model number
  • Dedicated GPU, not shared with a Max-Q or later Turing part
  • GPU tier is the single biggest driver of resale value on this laptop

Memory (RAM)

  • Two SO-DIMM slots, upgradable
  • Base configurations commonly shipped with 8GB in a single stick
  • A second stick or a full upgrade to higher capacity raises usability, though not sale value as much as GPU tier

Storage

  • Combinations of a 2.5-inch HDD and an M.2 SATA SSD, varying by trim
  • Accessible and upgradable through the bottom panel
  • A working SSD in the mix is worth noting when you sell, since it affects usable condition

Display & audio

Display

A 15.6-inch Full HD panel across the line. Some configurations, mostly the higher-GPU trims, shipped with a 120Hz refresh rate instead of the standard 60Hz. Check the exact refresh rate in Windows Display settings if it matters for your listing.

Audio

Stereo speakers with ASUS's SonicMaster tuning, adequate for casual use but not a strong point of the laptop.

Ports & connectivity

The FX504 keeps things simple with legacy-friendly ports and no Thunderbolt or USB-C on this generation.

Battery, build & more

Battery

A modest 3-cell battery, built for plugged-in gaming sessions rather than long unplugged use. Battery health is worth checking before you sell, since weak batteries are common at this age.

Build

Plastic chassis with a brushed, camo-textured finish and a reinforced hinge bar, part of ASUS's TUF durability testing for this line. It runs thicker and heavier than an ultrabook, by design.

Software

Shipped with Windows 10. Most units on the resale market today have been reinstalled or updated at least once.

Known issues

Some units run hot under sustained GPU load due to a compact cooling system, and a subset of owners have reported hinge wear over years of use. Neither issue disqualifies a laptop from sale, but they're worth checking before you list it.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number and exact configuration?
Run dxdiag from the Windows Run box (Windows key + R, then type dxdiag) to see the model string and installed GPU in one screen. The bottom panel sticker also lists the model number if the laptop won't power on. Checking both confirms whether you have an FX504GD, GE, GM, or the GE-ES52 regional SKU, since the GPU tier differs between them even though the chassis looks identical.
02 How do I tell it apart from the FX505, its successor?
The FX505 (2019) has a redesigned keyboard deck with the number pad shifted and a different hinge shape, along with a narrower screen bezel. The FX504's lid texture and port layout also differ slightly. If dxdiag or the bottom sticker shows "FX504," you have this model regardless of how similar the FX505 looks at a glance.
03 Can I sell it with damage, like a cracked screen, weak battery, or a locked account?
Yes, in most cases. Cracked screens, dead batteries, and units that won't power on can still be sold, and the quote adjusts to reflect the condition you select. What can't ship is a laptop still signed into a Microsoft account or protected by BitLocker recovery you don't have access to. Remove the device from your Microsoft account and confirm you can sign out cleanly before shipping.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
GPU tier matters most, since an FX504GM with a GTX 1060 is worth noticeably more than an FX504GD with a GTX 1050. Beyond that, a screen and keyboard free of damage, a battery that still holds a reasonable charge, and included original charger all help. A clean factory reset with no leftover accounts also speeds up processing.
05 How do I erase it and remove my accounts, and how do I get paid?
Go to Settings → System → Recovery, then choose Reset this PC and select "Remove everything." Before that, go to your Microsoft account online and remove this device from your device list, and if BitLocker is enabled, suspend or decrypt it so the new owner isn't locked out. Once the laptop is wiped, ship it to us free of charge with insured shipping included. After our team tests the unit against the condition you reported, payment goes out by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check. Full steps are in our data erasure protocols.
