Review on 15.6" Notebook ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HE-HN012 1920x1080, Intel Core i5 11400H 2.7 GHz, RAM 8 GB, SSD 512 GB, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti, no OS, 90NR0704-M02050, dark gray by Anastazja Frelek (Ma ᠌

A few very significant characteristics, first and foremost, we shall discuss the FPS (otherwise why else buy this laptop). 1) After installing ARMORY CRATE, pick the turbo setting for games, and the visual card will determine the highest frequencies it is capable of pulling. This will offer a +5% increase in FPS. By the way, you can adjust the mode of the keyboard's backlight there as well. 2) Because the cooling of the laptop is average (even though the laptop is built to function in high temperatures, it still lowers the GPU frequencies), make sure that the back of the table is lifted off of the table. When the air is drawn in from below, a distance of just a few millimeters from the table top is insufficient. +2% FPS 3) Disable the CPU turbo boost by looking up instructions online; the processor is already very productive, so running it at 2.9 GHz with 16 threads should be sufficient. Because of this, the GPU temperature will decrease by 7-9 degrees (up to -73 degrees), which will have a positive effect on the laptop in the future, eliminate any friezes that may have been forming, and make it possible to increase the GPU frequencies even more. Yet, it can make sense to leave the turbo boost off in games that are demanding. 4) Increase memory so that the memory works in dual mode; this will considerably boost performance; I had a Samsung ddr4 3200mhz, and I got Crucial (micron chip); make sure that the characteristics are not worse; check the reviews; however, don't bother too much. FPS has been increased by somewhere between +15 and +20%, or possibly more! 5) The native screen is really connected to the integrated video card, and this laptop is one of the few gaming laptops that also has HDMI connectivity, which is a bit of a bummer. What exactly does this entail? That after graphics processing, the RTX 3050 stores the image in the memory of the integrated video card rather than displaying it on the screen, since the memory of the integrated card is already used to display the image on the screen. Understandably, this is a bottleneck, and because of that, there will be a slight delay as well as a drop in performance. The solution is to get a USB hub (type-c) with an HDMI connector (ideally one that can push more than 60 Hz if you have an adequate display), connect the monitor through it, and the frame rate will increase by 15–20 percent. Only the GPU benchmark after all of these actions (passmark) jumped from less than 7850 to 11900, but in reality the FPS increased by more than 50 percent!
