Performance, autonomy of the Asus TUF Gaming A15 TUF506NFR-HN006W

The Asus TUF Gaming A15 TUF506NFR-HN006W is a versatile 15-inch multimedia laptop PC that performs well in gaming-oriented creation.

Demanding users will be delighted with the good overall power provided by the core combining 16 GB of RAM with an AMD processor Rembrandt Refresh Octo Core Ryzen 7 7735HS in which the Radeon 680M graphics module takes place.

Creative people will particularly appreciate this core since it deploys its potential under work demanding RAM and CPU resources using multi-core. This is for example the case in video editing or photo editing. In this type of area, processing is carried out more quickly than with a Quad/Hexa Core.

Creators will appreciate that their processing is accelerated by the dedicated GeForce RTX 2050 graphics card. And this in applications taking advantage of GPU computing power, such as Adobe Photoshop/Premiere, VSDC or Vegas.

Equipped with the old generation NVIDIA Ampere architecture, the GeForce RTX 2050 ray tracing is a dedicated graphics card thanks to which you can play games that are not too demanding on 3D resources.

The laptop does not always work on the GeForce RTX 2050 ray tracing. But only when this graphics card is enabled by NVIDIA Optimus technology. Optimus calls on it when the performance of the Radeon 680M proves insufficient to perform the desired tasks, typically for gaming.

Whether with the Radeon 680M or the GeForce RTX 2050, you can watch HD photos and videos. But the performance of the Radeon 680M is much lower, a consequence of its reduced energy consumption which promotes autonomy.

The autonomy is around 7 hours on battery in light use, which will interest some wishing to have a Student laptop versatile multimedia and gaming oriented for whom finesse and lightness do not represent essential criteria.

Still, Optimus favors the Radeon 680M as much as possible.
In fact Optimus automatically switches in real time between the Radeon 680M and the GeForce RTX 2050 depending on needs.

Like many models on the market, this creative and gamer-oriented laptop PC offers 512 GB SSD storage.
If you need more capacity, you can obviously use an external storage unit. Favoring a USB 3.0/USB-C device then represents an interesting option to benefit from fast transfers.

The SSD in any case reinforces responsiveness and fluidity, which is manifested on a daily basis by rapid launches of software/games as well as processing and starts/stops, or even by the fact that we quickly reach the cards of the online games.
An SSD is indeed fast, in addition to being robust, silent and energy efficient.

As for heating and noise, expect them to be present when this versatile multimedia gamer-oriented laptop PC is pushed hard (e.g. processing, games).
To contain its temperatures we can associate it with a ventilated support (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
