Working in partnership with ASUS, we are excited to bring Ryzen-based platforms to market – versatile devices with superior consumer performance.”

Using these advanced technologies and platforms, ASUS has been able to develop several state-of-the-art devices with attractive designs and excellent gaming functionality. The TUF Gaming and ROG Zephyrus series laptops feature new Ryzen mobile processors, with the Gaming FX505DV featuring a fast 144Hz, 3ms display and fast GeForce RTX 2060 graphics, while the ROG Zephyrus G GA502 is an ultra-thin gaming system with long battery life, affordable for a wide range of users.

Matisse processors for new gaming PCs

Equipped with the latest Ryzen series processors, including the Ryzen 7 3700X (8 cores, 16 threads), the Strix GL10DH offers value for money and versatility.

The third generation Ryzen processors, codenamed Matisse, are based on the Zen 2 microarchitecture, which boasts a 15% increase in performance per frequency compared to the previous version. Thanks to the increased cache and increased frequency of work, they speed up the work of both games and any other applications.

The graphics subsystem of the Strix GL10DH computer is represented by the ASUS Turbo GeForce RTX 2070 graphics card and Phoenix series models (up to the GeForce RTX 2060). Based on the innovative Turing microarchitecture, this graphics card combines real-time ray tracing, artificial intelligence and programmable shaders to achieve more realistic lighting, shading and reflections in a PC game. In addition, GPU computing resources can be used for a range of other applications, from 3D modeling to deep neural network learning.

The video card is installed in the ASUS Prime B450M-K motherboard, which has been tested for hours of compatibility and stable operation with various peripheral devices. The Strix GL10DH can also be configured with a 512GB M.2 NVMe SSD for fast application loading, and up to a 1TB HDD for storing large collections of files. The amount of RAM is up to 32 gigabytes.

All of these components are packaged in a sleek 27L case adorned with Aura lighting featuring Aura Sync technology. The side panel is available in two versions: with enhanced ventilation or in transparent acrylic. The second option allows you to admire the illumination of the components. The internal space of the case is divided into two chambers for more efficient cooling: the processor, video card and motherboard are separated from the power supply and drives.

Reliable Power

Earlier in 2019, the TUF Gaming FX505DY laptop became the first to use the AMD Picasso platform, which combines a Ryzen mobile processor with discrete Radeon graphics and a FreeSync display. It was followed by the TUF Gaming FX505 DD/DT/DU models, which paired the same processor with faster GeForce GTX graphics cards.

Ноутбук TUF Gaming FX505DV – это следующий шаг вперед. Объединяя в себе новейший мобильный процессор Ryzen с видеокартой NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060, он выдает безупречную картинку на своем тонкорамочном дисплее NanoEdge с великолепными скоростными характеристиками, которые предоставляют реальные преимущества в соревновательных игровых дисциплинах: высокая частота обновления экрана (144 Гц) делает динамичные сцены более плавными, чем на стандартных 60-герцевых дисплеях, а низкое время отклика (3 мс) повышает четкость изображения. Кроме того, следует отметить широкие углы обзора, гарантирующие точность цветопередачи при взгляде на экран под углом.

The mobile AMD Ryzen 7 3750H (4 cores, 8 threads) is used as a processor. Its resources will be sufficient for everyday tasks, and an efficient cooling system is responsible for its stable operation under any load, and the user can flexibly adjust the fan speed by switching between three modes using a convenient keyboard shortcut. The most aggressive Turbo mode spins the fans at maximum speed, while the Silent mode slows them down to minimize noise during light tasks like watching videos. There is also an intermediate mode with fairly good cooling and an average noise level.

Protecting heatsinks from contamination is an important factor in successful heat dissipation, so dust particles are quickly expelled from the laptop case through specially designed tunnels, rather than settling inside. This improves cooling efficiency and, as a result, increases the life of the entire device.

Like its predecessors, the TUF Gaming FX505DV is extremely rugged, backed up by MIL-STD-810G military standard testing, from drop and vibration tests to extreme temperature or high altitude testing.

Play everywhere

The Ryzen mobile platform makes ultra-slim gaming laptops more affordable, with the ROG Zephyrus G GA502 being a great example. At just 20mm thin and weighing no more than 2.1kg, it comes with a powerful configuration that can include a GeForce GTX 1660 Ti graphics card and a 120Hz thin bezel display. Moreover, in Turbo mode, the GPU accelerates up to 1435 MHz with a power consumption of 60 W (ROG Boost technology). Such computing power will be enough for both games and streaming.

Using the same quad-core, eight-thread AMD Ryzen 7 3750H mobile model as the TUF Gaming FX505DV laptop, the ROG Zephyrus G GA502 is also well suited for multitasking. With SenseMI technology, processor performance and power consumption are optimized to improve battery life, reaching up to nearly 9 hours in MobileMark and nearly 7 hours when playing videos or browsing websites over Wi-Fi.

The NVMe solid-state drive installed in this laptop ensures fast loading of games and other applications, while the large amount of RAM (up to 32 GB) enables efficient multitasking. ROG Zephyrus G GA502 has a sleek design that combines black exteriors with white backlit keyboards to make the ROG Zephyrus G GA502 stand out from typical gaming laptops and look great in any environment.

High-quality gaming systems - for everyone!

The collaboration with AMD highlights ASUS' commitment to instantly adopting new computing platforms and cutting-edge technologies, and experimenting with innovative ideas. The result is a host of affordable ASUS gaming systems designed for the widest range of users.

The ROG Strix GL10DH is a versatile 3rd Gen Ryzen PC that's great for more than just gaming. The rugged TUF Gaming FX505DV delivers the power of a Ryzen mobile processor in a rugged, portable platform, while the ROG Zephyrus G GA502 delivers an ultra-slim gaming system that's perfect for gaming and mobile work alike.
