About this deal

desktop-inspired layout with a highlighted WASD key group, broader space bar, isolated arrow keys, and We’ve spent time with two different configurations of the Asus TUF Gaming FX505, the FX505DU based on an AMD Ryzen 7 3750H CPU and Nvidia GTX 1660Ti graphics, and the FX505DV variant based on the same processor and Nvidia RTX 2060 graphics. The review down below gathers our thoughts on the higher performance RTX 2060 variant, with the strong points and the quirks you should be aware of if you’re interested in getting one for yourself. However, it’s not as big and bulky as gaming laptops from a few years ago, with dimensions of 39.9 x 27.9 x 2.6cm (15.7 x 11 x 1.02 inches) and a weight of 2.2kg (4.85 pounds). It’s a sturdy feeling laptop that you’ll feel comfortable carrying around with you, while not being too heavy. Not only do the thin bezels keep the dimensions of the laptop down while offering a decent screen size, it also gives more prominence to the display. This is one of the areas wherein the design of the Asus TUF Gaming FX505DY feels modern. Third is the noise of the fans. They are extraordinarily loud. With all the noise, I would think they'd do a better job cooling, but they don't. The GPU is running at 80C+ nearly the second I start a game with moderate settings. I was able to make it run a little bit cooler by playing on an external monitor, closing the lid of the laptop, and turning it upside down. Still, it only dropped to 75C but was even louder.

Both the CPU and the GPU run and high temperatures with games, around 85-90 degrees for the CPU and 80-85 degrees for the GPU. Those are high temperatures and most 15-inch laptops with same-level Intel/Nvidia specs run cooler. These internal temperatures don’t spread onto the outer shell, but they might also have an impact over long-term reliability, as heat and electronics don’t play well together. Asus claims to have properly tested these products, but I’d personally opt for an extended warranty, just to be on the safe side. of quality test engineers. Product testing without proper controls or guidance may damage the product, As far as performance goes, this laptop handles everyday chores smoothly, while running cool and mostly quiet, although you’ll still hear the fans even with the most basics of tasks.

Alongside a slew of ROG gaming laptops, Asus has also announced new TUF-branded devices that combine Nvidia and AMD components

the AMD platform allows no room for tweaking and limits the gaming performance compared to Intel/RTX 2060 models The standard Asus test environment for battery life is as follows: Windows operating system, display module with 150 nits of brightness, lighting off, and other application settings. Untuk laptop gaming kelas lebih terjangkau seperti FX503, ASUS mendesain laptop tersebut dengan tampilan yang seperti laptop biasa. Nggak ada ornamen-ornamen yang dapat kamu temukan pada seri ROG.

The fans are tamed down on Silent, but gaming on Silent greatly limits the performance, so it’s only possible in older and simpler titles. It’s powered by up to an 8th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-8750H hexa-core processor for speeds of up toYou can also configure the Asus TUF Gaming FX505DY with up to 32GB of RAM and up to 1TB of SSHD storage, or 512GB of PCIe SSD storage. Of course, these additional specifications will come with different price points. Of course you can run games with the Nvidia GPU. Try to Force Modern Warfare onto the Nvidia chip from Nvidia panel, should work. The FX505DV gets a more complex thermal module than what Asus put on last’s years Intel/Nvidia models, with two large fans (with dust exhaust channels) and several heatpipes. At the same time, this also needs to clear more heat than the 2018 models, and as you’ve seen in the previous section, it still barely copes with the components inside. The testing regime includes the requirements of both military-grade standards and ASUS quality tests, and varies depending on device. MIL-STD-810 testing is conducted on selected ASUS products only. Note that the MIL-STD-810 testing helps to ensure the quality of ASUS products but does not indicate a particular fitness for military use. The test is performed under laboratory conditions. Any damage caused by attempts to replicate these test conditions would be considered accidental, and would not be covered by the standard ASUS warranty. Additional coverage is available with ASUS Premium Care. There are no methods of undervolting or tweaking this CPU, so we had to settle with what we could get with out-of-the-box settings.
