MARKHAM, Canada, June 11, 2019 - ASUS today announced TUF Gaming FX505DV, a gaming laptop that combines the latest AMD Ryzen™ processors and NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 2060 GPU with an up to 144Hz/3ms IPS-level NanoEdge display, delivering immersive, high-performance gaming at an affordable price. The laptop is tested and certified to meet military-grade MIL-STD-810G standards, ensuring the toughness and durability needed to withstand the knocks and bumps of everyday work and play.

For years, savvy gamers and enthusiasts have combined AMD processors with GeForce GPUs to create powerful PCs that deliver incredible performance per dollar. Now, ASUS gaming laptops let users take that potent combo wherever they go. The new FX505DV teams the latest Ryzen mobile APUs with a potent GeForce RTX 2060 GPU to bring greater power than ever to affordable gaming laptops.

Turing architecture geared for gaming

The GeForce RTX 2060 deploys NVIDIA’s latest Turing™ architecture with a tighter focus on today's games. Upgrades to its CUDA cores, cache hierarchy, and memory subsystem produce a significant per-core performance increase over the previous generation. Live-streamers can also reap the benefits of a new video encoder that improves video quality using hardware-accelerated capture that reduces burden on the CPU.

The powerful GPU puts triple-digit frame rates within reach in popular games, and it's paired with a fast display that allows enjoyment of every frame. The display’s refresh rate of up to 144Hz and 3ms response time make it twice as fast as standard screens; FX505DV enables smoother gameplay that provides an edge on the battleground. Its high refresh rate is especially helpful in fast-paced esports titles.

The screen size feels expansive thanks to NanoEdge bezels that focus attention on the display rather than what's around it. In addition to heightening immersion, the narrow frames shrink the footprint of the chassis, making the laptop more compact. The panel inside is based on IPS-level technology that maintains vibrant colours over wide viewing angles, allowing a variety of viewing scenarios; such as sitting off to the side while playing games or streaming videos with friends.

Ample processing for any task

Impressive gaming credentials are balanced with everyday versatility powered by AMD's latest Ryzen processors. Also known as Picasso, these second-generation mobile APUs are based on the updated Zen+ architecture and built using industry-leading 12nm fabrication technology. TUF Gaming FX505DV is available with up to a Ryzen 7 CPU that features quad cores and eight threads with ample performance for gaming, entertainment, and everyday work.
