This means you can experience unbeatable energy-efficiency, innovative new gaming technologies, and breakthrough VR immersion wherever you game.
Performance
Now, you can get all the performance of a desktop in a mobile form factor. GeForce GTX 10-Series GPUs give you up to 3X the performance of previous-generation GPUs. They’re built with ultra-fast FinFET, the latest high-bandwidth memory technologies, and support for DirectX 12 features to deliver the fastest, smoothest gaming notebook experiences.
Game-Changing Technologies
These innovative GPUs were created to meet the demands of next-generation displays, including VR, ultra-high-resolution, and multiple monitors. NVIDIA GameWorks™ technologies give you extremely smooth, cinematic gameplay, plus revolutionary NVIDIA Ansel™ that lets you capture 360-degree in-game images and view them in VR.
120HZ PANEL
IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE GAME
FX504 features an ultrafast 120Hz, 15.6-inch wide-view display. With a 3ms response time and capable of displaying 120 frames per second, the display makes movies appear more vivid, and games run smoother — giving a visual experience that brings you right in the heart of the action. Compared to standard 60Hz panels, the 120Hz panel lets you react instantly to what’s happening onscreen, so you gain an advantage in fast-paced titles. Its 130% sRGB (equivalent to 94% NTSC) wide color gamut ensures great contrast and color consistency too. The panel even has a matte finish to virtually eliminate distracting glare or reflections.
HYPERCOOL TECHNOLOGY
IMPROVED COOLING AND LONGER LIFESPAN
The thermal design of FX504 significantly prolongs its lifespan and provides stable performance for graphics-intensive gaming, with HyperCool technology combining the patented self-cleaning ADC system with the customizable Fan Overboost function. By expelling harmful dust particles and dirt from the chassis through two dedicated tunnels, the ADC system is a cooling masterpiece that acts like the laptop’s immune system — preventing build-up in the thermal fins to increase system stability and lifespan. The adjustable Fan Overboost function is specially designed to fit multitasking and gaming needs: Choose between three different modes to find the perfect balance between fan performance and noise level. A pair of copper heat pipes and a dual-fan system cool the processor and graphics card independently, while the airflow-optimized chassis design increases thermal efficiency by up to 27% in contrast to standards cases. An intelligently-placed fan is located right below the WASD key group to ensure your keyboard stays cool even during long gaming sessions.
ANTI-DUST TUNNELS
An exclusive internal design forces dust and debris to exit the chassis through two anti-dust tunnels located at the edges of the fans. Dust accumulation between the fins or inside the chassis is a common problem, and it leads to decreased cooling performance, high battery consumption through overworked fans, and may even damage the system. Opening the chassis may void the warranty, while repair centers are time-consuming and expensive. The patented Anti-Dust Cooling system prevents the thermal fins from becoming caked in grime, benefitting both longevity and reliability.
FAN OVERBOOST
A single press of the function key allows you to quickly and easily select from three fan performance modes to control noise levels and power consumption. Fan Overboost mode intelligently boosts fan power when CPU and GPU temperatures increase to ensure system stability and sustain high framerates during gaming. The Silent mode curbs noise level and power consumption, ideal for less demanding tasks such as surfing online or using productivity apps at work. A balanced mode combines the best of both worlds by delivering stable fan performance at a moderate noise level and power consumption.
AIRFLOW-OPTIMIZED CHASSIS
Every part of FX504 serves to improve system stability and efficiency. The innovative and patented trapezoid-cut lid doesn’t interfere with the exhaust vents to increase thermal efficiency by up to 27% over standard laptop lids.
PLAY IT COOL
Intelligently-placed fans below the WASD key group area ensure your keyboard stays cool and comfortable even during long gaming sessions and heavy loading.
DTS HEADPHONE:X™
IMMERSIVE 7.1-CHANNEL SURROUND SOUND
DTS Headphone:X™ delivers an immersive 7.1-channel surround sound experience that enables your headphones, external and laptop speakers to deliver home theater-quality audio. Whether you’re playing games, watching a movie, or cheering on your favorite sports team, DTS offers several content modes to take you right into the heart of the action! The Game profile enables the audio engine to process sounds more accurately than ever, allowing you to be completely aware of what’s going on around you so you can hear where enemies are coming from, as DTS Headphone:X can precisely emulate the experience of being surrounded by multiple speakers.

EXTRA DURABLE KEYBOARD
OPTIMIZED FOR GAMING AND TYPING
The design of each component in FX504 is carefully thought out and made to last, with a desktop-inspired keyboard that is perfectly optimized for extended gaming and typing sessions. With a lifespan of 20 million key presses, FX504 has one of the most durable keyboards to be found in a laptop — double that of the current industry standard of 10 million key presses. The scissor-switched keys have 0.25mm keycap curves and offer 1.8mm of travel for smooth and tactile keystrokes, and are backlit in striking red so they’re clearly visible when gaming or working in the dark. Exclusive Overstroke technology ensures that keys are registered early with an extended distance after the actuation point for precision and comfort. Highlighted WASD keys, a broad space bar, and isolated arrow keys enable fast and accurate control.
20 Million Key Presses
Keyboards are a weak spot in today’s laptops, be it an unusual layout, low precision, or just simply unreliable. A 10-key average typing speed of 8,000 keystrokes per hour (KPH) explains why standard keyboards break after a few years of use. For those reasons, FX504 comes with a desktop-inspired keyboard layout and exclusive Overstroke technology, with each key able to endure up to 20 million presses — twice the industry standard. It’s a keyboard that promises an extended lifespan without compromising accuracy and comfort.
Desktop-inspired layout
The new keyboard layout of FX504 follows the design of the best gaming desktop keyboards to give you a perfect gaming and typing experience without the need of an external keyboard. The entire module is now designed for the way your fingers are used to playing and typing, with gaps between the function keys for easier identification, an independent power button, and isolated arrow keys for the most accurate fingertip control.
Exclusive Overstroke Technology
Exclusive Overstroke technology provides each key with a perfectly balanced peak force of 62 grams (the force needed to fully press the key down), an early actuation point for increased input accuracy, and extended overstroke distance for more typing comfort — perfect for competitive gaming and extended periods of typing.
