Las Vegas, CES (January 6, 2019) - ASUS unveils new TUF Gaming FX505DY and TUF Gaming FX705DY laptops that are the first to feature the latest Ryzen™ 5 3550H processor from AMD®, up to 32GB of RAM and a range of storage options. TUF Gaming pairs this new platform with discrete Radeon™ graphics tightly coupled to vivid FreeSync™ displays. Slim bezels frame the NanoEdge displays to further enhance immersion and shrink the overall footprint, while the reinforced chassis help the machines survive everyday life. Intelligently designed and carefully built, TUF Gaming FX505DY and FX705DY balance performance, battery life, and affordability to provide a better gaming experience.

TUF Gaming FX505DY and FX705DY laptops take Ryzen and FreeSync on the road

AMD’s Ryzen processors have taken desktops by storm, and we’re excited to have TUF Gaming laptops lead the deployment of the newest version. Otherwise known as Picasso, this 2nd Gen Ryzen™ Mobile APU is built with industry-leading 12nm technology. The Ryzen 5 3550H chip powering the TUF Gaming FX505DY and FX705DY boasts four cores and eight threads that deliver capable performance for popular games and everyday work. Multithreaded performance is particularly strong, yet the processor fits into a 35W power envelope that doesn’t compromise battery life.

Radeon Vega-based integrated graphics allow the APU to power the laptop all on its own, which helps conserve power and extend battery life to over seven hours of 1080p video playback on TUF Gaming FX705DY and nearly six hours on FX505DY. Discrete GPUs are where it’s at for proper gaming so when it’s time to play, AMD Switchable Graphics tech automatically activates the laptop’s discrete Radeon RX 560X. The GPU pumps out smooth frame rates in mainstays like Fortnite and Overwatch plus in eSports classics like League of Legends and Dota 2.

Smart gamers know that the GPU is only half the battle when it comes to a smooth gaming experience. All your graphics power is for naught if the display misses the mark. Performance varies constantly depending on the game and what’s happening at any given moment, but the displays on most affordable gaming laptops are stuck with a fixed refresh rate.
