ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF delivers powerful performance with 11th Gen Intel Core i5, RTX 2050

Before delving into the specifications of ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF, let's take a look at some key features of the device!

• Display: 15.6-inch size, IPS panel, FHD resolution (1,920 x 1,080 pixels), supports 144 Hz refresh rate.
• CPU: Intel Core i5 - 11400H
• Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050.
• RAM: 8 GB DDR4 (supports up to 32 GB DDR4 3,200 MHz).
• Storage: 512 GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD.
• Operating System: Windows 11.
• Battery: 48 Wh.

As you can see above, ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF is equipped with the Intel Core i5-11400H processor. This is a powerful chip designed for high-performance devices released two years ago. However, its strength remains exceptional even now, comfortably meeting all your office work, graphics, and gaming needs.

Supporting the power of ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF is the prominent RTX 2050 graphics card. From what I've gathered, mid-range gaming devices under 20 million VND are gradually eliminating the familiar RTX 1650 graphics card in favor of the RTX 2050. Perhaps because the RTX 1650 is quite outdated, modern games are becoming increasingly graphics-intensive, prompting manufacturers to make this change to keep up with the times. Therefore, it's highly likely that we'll see more gaming laptops priced around 20 million VND equipped with the RTX 2050 graphics card.

Furthermore, ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF is equipped with 8 GB of DDR4 RAM, sufficient to smoothly handle all your multitasking needs. Additionally, if you have a bit more financial capability, you can upgrade the RAM capacity to 32 GB to fully unleash the power of this laptop.

To provide you with a more specific insight into the performance of ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF, I will use performance benchmarking software such as Geekbench 6, Cinebench R23, PCMark 10, and 3DMark. The results I obtained are as follows:

- Geekbench 6:

• GPU Compute: 44,599 points.
• Single-core/Multi-core: 1,759 points/5,873 points.

- Cinebench R23 (Single-core/Multi-core): 8,235 points/1,270 points.

- PCMark 10: 5,053 points.

- 3DMark: 4,039 points.

I assess these scores as good, fitting for the configuration ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF is equipped with. However, when compared broadly, the device sits competitively among many products in the same range. Based on these scores, I can say the device can comfortably meet your working needs. Moreover, this might not be the peak performance of ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF, as the RAM capacity is currently at 8 GB. If upgraded to 32 GB, the performance of ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF will be even more impressive.

For a more comprehensive view of ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF's power, I've loaded three popular games in the Vietnamese market: FIFA Online 4, League of Legends, Valorant. I also used MSI Afterburner software to measure FPS, CPU temperature, RAM consumption, and enabled optimization through GeForce Experience to provide you with a more visual insight.

First up is Valorant, where I've set the graphics to the highest level achievable on this device. The FPS remains very stable, almost stagnant at 144 FPS. Based on this, I can conclude that this game still can't pose a challenge to the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF.

Moving on to FIFA Online 4, with this relatively simple game, the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF can handle it smoothly with the game's FPS maintained at 138 - 144 FPS. With this gaming laptop, I can execute smooth key combinations and skills, which look very pleasing, combined with vibrant visuals, providing an excellent gaming experience.

As for League of Legends, there isn't much noticeable difference in the experience. I also set the game's graphics to the highest level achievable on the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF. The frame rate during gameplay is consistently smooth, allowing everyone to comfortably enjoy gaming for extended periods.

Overall, with the Esports games mentioned above, the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF can deliver smooth and stable experiences for you. Moreover, the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF can still handle more graphically demanding games such as Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, GTA V, Genshin Impact, etc. Additionally, I used Crystal Diskmark Shizuku software to measure the read/write speed of the SSD inside the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF. Here are the results I obtained:

• Read speed: 3.031 MB/s.
• Write speed: 1.890 MB/s.

Based on my personal experience, the hard drive of the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF has a very fast read speed and stands out among many competitors in its price range. Thanks to this, tasks such as file decompression, application opening/closing, data copying, etc., are all performed quickly.

ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF: A captivatingly rugged design

The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF still boasts a rugged, masculine design with a strong gaming vibe and unique angular cuts similar to many of the brand's previous versions. Constructed from high-quality plastic, it provides a sturdy, robust feel at first glance.

The back of the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF is the most striking highlight with intricate cut patterns that intertwine to create an eye-catching visual effect.

On the right side, there is an additional USB 3.2 port. Overall, the number of connectivity ports ensures that users can comfortably connect multiple peripherals at once.

Additionally, the interior of ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF is remarkable with a spacious full-size keyboard featuring good key travel and just the right amount of bounce, creating an enjoyable typing and gaming experience. Moreover, the laptop is equipped with RGB LED lighting under the keyboard, allowing for optimal usage in low-light conditions and enhancing the gaming atmosphere.

Furthermore, the touchpad of ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF is of a suitable size, providing enough space for smooth gesture controls. The touchpad is solidly built with no wobbliness during usage. It offers fast, smooth, and highly responsive feedback.

Another feature I like about the touchpad of ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF is that it has two separate left and right mouse buttons placed below. This makes it easy to click without pressing a single piece of plastic like with touchpads that have integrated left and right mouse buttons.

Furthermore, Adaptive Sync technology synchronizes the refresh rate of the screen and the frame rate of the graphics card to eliminate 'screen tearing' and enhance the gaming experience quality for users.

ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF battery performs well, efficient cooling system

For a gaming laptop, we usually carry a power adapter to ensure the device maintains peak performance, and this is no exception with ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF. However, in some cases where we cannot plug in the power adapter, it's worth paying attention to how long the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF battery lasts. From my experience, this laptop can last for about 3 hours of continuous usage without gaming.

To provide a more comprehensive overview of the battery life of ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF, I measured it using the BatteryMon application. I divided it into 2 different usage scenarios, and the results I obtained are shown in the images below:

- Scenario 1: Regular tasks without gaming:

• Battery life: 2 hours 41 minutes.
• Measurement time: 1 hour.
• Screen at 100%, volume at 70% using headphones, and no battery saving mode enabled.
• Keyboard backlighting enabled.
• USB mouse plugged in.

- Scenario 2: Regular tasks with 20 minutes of gaming:

• Battery life: 1 hour 06 minutes.
• Measurement time: 1 hour.
• Screen at 100%, volume at 70% using headphones, and no battery saving mode enabled.
• Keyboard backlighting enabled.
• USB mouse plugged in.

The test result without gaming closely matches my real-life experience. Thus, I evaluate that ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF provides relatively decent battery life for a gaming laptop.

Regarding the machine's cooling ability, I've also used the HWiNFO64 software to check. Here are the results I obtained:

Based on the measurements, the highest temperature I recorded was 75 degrees Celsius. Compared to a gaming device, this temperature is completely normal, and this maximum level was reached after gaming. During normal usage, the machine's temperature only slightly warms around the keyboard, fluctuating between 45 to 55 degrees Celsius. Additionally, the cooling system of ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF doesn't produce excessive noise, ensuring it doesn't cause discomfort to those nearby, so feel free to use it in crowded places!
