ASUS TUF FX505DV Benchmarks

Steven Rimmington · 12 Oct 2019 at 18:15

Hi I have had this laptop now for 1 week and am more than impressed with the performance and gaming experience, I have now sold my desktop PC and use this to game on, I am now converted to laptop gaming, had a PC for 10+ year. I am keen to compare this to laptops around the £1k mark. This was £980 for me.

Specs,
AMD R7-3750H
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6GB
512GB PCI-e NVME SSD
16GB DDR4 - 2400
120Hz IPS Panel

I have managed to clock the monitor to 144Hz and the 2060 +140 Clock +600 Memory, I have not changed anything CPU wise.

Got a different cpu as well

What laptop do you have? Please post some benchmarks

I'll give it a whirl on an older Asus gaming laptop which cost me £850 a few months back.
What do you want me to run?

Brilliant

always good to compare laptops around the same price point, I feel the Ryzen 7 in my Asus is massively underpowered compared to an i7. It will get destroyed in CPU tasks. Although the CPU runs a lot cooler, I can genuinely run GTA5 in 1080p with max settings and have the fan speed low and achieve 60+FPS and it runs fine I have not seen the CPU hit 80c+ yet with a low fan profile.

Will do it over clocked as well as you have too

Please do, will be very interseting to see how the i7 is with an 1660ti, maybe we could try some game benchmarks to compare? I am open to suggestions!

What do I need to download and what do I run?

If you could try 3DMark Timespy that would be a good comparison, if you don't have steam it can be a hassle to install though.

Unigine and try copy my settings

Also userbench and post the link to your results.

Also Heaven benchmark with the settings I have used below.

I am also open to suggestions

Nice, will try this on my Helios tomorrow

Perfect! That was a model I was going to pick but I saw the Asus with the 2060 it was a hard choice! Is it the i5 model with the 1660Ti?

silly question. as i have never posted an image on here.. whats the best way to do it?

No, mine is here:

Be interested in some benchmarks with the i5 and 1050ti? Can you also try a crystaldiskmark test? Be cool to see how it compares to the NVMe in the Asus.

Nice!!!! I have just ran Heaven again as you have 8xAA off. Your max FPS and min are much better. I get a huge stutter in frame 22 so not sure whats wrong there! But for a 3 year old laptop the 1070 is very impressive.

Steven Rimmington · 17 Oct 2019 at 22:24

The 1070 is still an impressive card almost identical to the newer RTX 2060

I would guess SSD speeds only help general windows tasks and loading of games, I don't think it has an impact on FPS although I could be wrong.

Steven Rimmington · 17 Oct 2019 at 22:53

The 144Hz panel in the ASUS is brilliant, defiantly a more improved equipment in a newer laptop, I am sure the i7 and 1070 will be golden for years to come.

Sure I have just ran passmark test its free for 30 days just hit test all https://www.passmark.com/products/performancetest/download.php

I was playing GTA FiveM last night in bed! What a nice experience, solid 60+FPS with the quite mode enables. Loving laptop life. I know a desktop PC will eat it alive in benchmarks but for the ease of use and portability I am sold. Gone past 14 days now so no returns for me

Also looking into undervolting the 2060 and Ryzen CPU I have seen good results in speed and quietness. Massive minefield though for me been the Ryzen Mobile is relativity new.

I was looking to pick one of these laptops up recently via a deal on the rainforest. might keep my eye on it to see if it comes up again.

i currently have an Asus running a i5-6300h paired with a GTX960m. How much of a step up would the AMD R7-3750H, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6GB give me?

How much is it? I have one if you need any info or benchmarks running let me know, its been perfect for me, has not missed a beat since day one.

Can any laptop benchmarks join this thread or only Asus?

I think it will be a good idea

Been very impressed with the Ryzen + RTX 2060 combo been playing the new COD and getting excellent performace gaming on my 4K TV also been playing a lot of GTA5 in 4K and hitting 40-50FPS in Very High with all the good stuff on, been a very CPU intensive game the 4 core Ryzen is doing well.

Nice!! That's impressive. I'm hoping to get the new modern warfare for playing away too. Enjoying this.

I am really suprised just how will it plays games for the money I spent. The only issue is battery life! Its poor ha but I guess thats the trade off.

finally pulled the trigger on one of these yesterday. down to £899.. somewhere. Arrives tomorrow

Very nice! Brilliant price for a 2060 Laptop. I have MSI Afterburner installed as I game on Performance/Silent mode to help the noise, the GPU can clock + 159 on the core & + 620 on the Memory, this help a lot and only brings +4c temp.

Just wondering how you clocked the monitor to 144hz?

Got same laptop but blackscreens if I set it to anything over 136hz in CRU...

Hi Yes 144Hz is running perfect using CRU. Have you got the same model number?

Steven Rimmington · 25 Jan 2020 at 18:48

Nvm mate I got it running 144hz using auto lcd standard timings replaced paste for LM on both CPU and GPU and added Gelid GP-Extreme 1mm pads to replace that gunky stuff they use on the chips. Well happy now

Cool

Is yours new and in warranty? My temps are good, never above 75c on CPU and 80c GPU with a big OC. How much have yours improved?

I needed a new laptop so picked up one in Black Friday sales last year. I've got 2 gaming PCs at home so didn't need a full on gaming replacement, just something that could play some games even if the settings where turned down. I ended up getting a TUF FX705DT. It's got the 3550H, 16GB DDR4, 512GB NVMe and a GTX 1650. I'm actually really impressed with it, turn down the settings in games to Medium/High and it has no problems getting good performance. I was close to paying the extra for the 1660ti but I game on it so infrequently I couldn't justify the cost. I've not looked into UV the CPU, is it possible and worth it?

From what I have read I don't think you can with the AMD chips. I would like to know.

Any chance of doing a CPU benchmark? Looks like the Ryzen 7 is not much quicker than the Ryzen 5

How did you overclock your monitor to 144hz in the end ?

Hi I used CRU (custom resolution utility) monitor to overclock it 144Hz

Asus labels the 505 model upto 144Hz so not sure why they stuck with 120. Maybe a few failed to achieve this rate but mine works faultless.
