About this deal

The added durability of the TUF range also sets it apart from the pack, as does the surprise combination of AMD and Nvidia components. The Devil lies in the details, though, which include a washed-out panel and high CPU/GPU temperatures in games, but also a performance toll that the AMD platform takes over an Intel-based computer with the same kind of graphics power. Ray tracing is the definitive solution for lifelike lighting, reflections, and shadows, offering a level of realism far beyond what’s possible using traditional rendering techniques. Featuring concurrent execution of floating point and integer operations, adaptive shading technology, and a new unified memory architecture with twice the cache of its predecessor, Turing shaders enable awesome performance increases in today's games. Perhaps the limited intake cuts on the bottom have a saying in this, but the bigger issue is also the fact that there’s no way to tweak, undervolt or limit the AMD Ryzen 7 processor, as Ryzen Master does not support Ryzen mobile at this point.

Infused with the spirit of The Ultimate Force (TUF), FX505 AMD Edition has passed a series of rigorous military-grade MIL-STD-810G durability tests*, successfully surviving varying conditions including solar radiation exposure, high altitude, and temperature extremes. So I bought this thing about a month ago, and its generally underperforming compared to the results you showed. The performance improvements were not enough to change our overall view of the Asus TUF Gaming FX505DY, however. On the more positive side, at least this screen is fast, doesn’t use PWM for brightness adjustment, paints deep blacks, and is fairly uniform in color and brightness.Discover next-generation VR performance, the lowest latency, and plug-and-play compatibility with leading headsets—driven by NVIDIA VRWorks™ technologies. It’s a sturdy feeling laptop that you’ll feel comfortable carrying around with you, while not being too heavy. ASUS TUF Gaming FX505 features up to an ultrafast 120Hz IPS-level panel for supersmooth gameplay with minimal motion blur. Get ready for some serious multitasking — ASUS TUF Gaming FX505 pairs its quad-core processor with up to 32GB of dual-channel DDR4 2400MHz memory for improved performance and energy efficiency.

You should definitely use an external screen for color-accurate work, and you might even find the colors dulls with everyday use and movies. Fan Overboost is the most aggressive setting, providing the fastest fan speeds to fully exploit the power of FX505.

This configuration comes with the Ryzen 7 3750H processor, the Nvidia RTX 2060 GPU, the 120 Hz screen, 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD in most regions.

As far as the Nvidia graphics go, the FX505DV gets a full-power version 90W version of the RTX 2060 chip, pretty much what you’ll also get on the higher-tier Asus ROG Scar III and MSI GE65 Raider gaming notebooks. Infused with the spirit of The Ultimate Force (TUF), ASUS TUF Gaming FX505DV has passed a series of rigorous military-grade MIL-STD-810G tests*, successfully surviving varying conditions including solar radiation exposure, high altitude, and temperature extremes. Physical shock tests ensure every TUF Gaming laptop resists damage from unexpected drops, knocks, and bumps during shipment and daily use. All these are available in either 15 or 17-inch versions, and you can find out how the 1660Ti and 2060 variants fare against each other from this comparison.Speaking of that, it’s worth noting that there are fairly limited air-intake cuts on the bottom, despite the fact that the design suggests otherwise. I especially like the chunky spacebar and the way the arrow keys jut out below the bottom row of keys, which should make them easier to press.
