- In this video, we take a look at the all-new ASUS TUF Dash F15, powered by a tiger lake i7 CPU and backed by the Nvidia RTX 3060 laptop GPU.
With a 144hz IPS Screen and a 76Wh battery, I’m personally a big fan of this Gaming laptop and I will officially be making this my daily driver for 2021
With a price tag under $1200 USD or on sale under $1100, this does make an awesome little mid-range Gaming Machine.

Someone who actually tested and SHOWED gameplay instead of just reading specs.. thankyou so much
Jarrods tech does a bit more in depth review if you want.
I’ve been looking for this
Welcome to ETA Prime :)
@@hruthikvarma1063 he had an overpriced 3070 version though, it's not worth the money
It has mix switch?
Hey so I'm really REALLY glad to say, I just got this laptop last week for my 18th birthday and Im really amazed by it, I'd like to thank this video as being one of my top reasons for picking this up and actually showing gaming performance instead of just numbers on a board as well as explaining the pros and cons!
How much cost to you? and where? c:
yeah honestly, for what it is, this laptop is fucking great!
I got one off of Amazon for £1000 back in May
Sweet just ordered mine on argos for £929 pounds cant wait for it
Hey can you tell temperatures on heavy use ?
@@cainan_c hey i heard the casing is made out of plastic is that true?
You don’t miss a beat on your videos, showed me everything I wanted to see 👍🏼
Thanks man!! Ur the first to actually make a review of the RTX 3060 version! thanks again!
Thank you for the honest review. Other reviews have been hating on this laptop and comparing it to other higher-end laptops
Omg yes they blame this laptop alot
I think a lot of the reviews were shitting on the 3070 model, which paired with the 4 core cpu isn't great. It's pretty fine for a 3060 though
That is a good price for what was included, I paid about the same for a Clevo laptop with the Micro Center branding a couple years ago with an intel 8th gen 7700k cpu, 2070 gpu with 8 gigs of vram and 2 256gig ssd and a 1tb hard drive and a 144hz display. I can still play many game with no issues.
Really well done! Thanks for sharing the info. I just ordered one for myself and I was a bit concerned it would not perform as well as I hoped. After your review I have no more concern.
May i ask how is it doing at the moment?? Thinking of buying one
Hows the laptop doing ?
welcome to 4 core 8 thread
@@VishalKumar-nz2mz ok
Hi, can you share your review after using it for a year? I am planning to buy with i7 12th gen.
Asus has been kicking all kinds of ass with their gaming machines in the price to performance spectrum. I've been loving my G14 since I got it last year.
How's the heat on the g14? I keep hearing it gets insanely hot, so I'm considering going with the g15 instead... but I really want the smaller form factor of the g14...
i think my tuf f15 has got dust i wanna clean it but scared
@@AlluringPegasu13 go to a trusted service center they should be able to clean and replace the thermal paste for you
.
I'm not forcing this but I have the most true important information/fact to tell you that you need to believe in. We all are sinners and we must get punished for all of our sins by spending eternity in hell, but God sent Christ, his only Son to take the penalty for all of our sins instead by dying on the cross to save us from going to hell and so we can have eternal life with Christ and God in his kingdom. On the third day after Christ died, Christ rose back from the dead. Christ ascended to heaven and he will come back for his chosen ones and take them to heaven.
Awesome video and review as usual. Would it be nice if you talk about the fan noise while doing web browsing / work / coding... I know this laptops have really big and loud fans while playing but with those heatsinks it should be dead silent while doing some light work.
Been waiting for this one thank you sooooo much
I always love ur review videos. U showed the gameplay instead of just reading specs. Thank you so much
Loved how you managed to get kills with hipfire in warzone
It was a bot match
Wow ETA you really got popular, since I first met your channel
hey ETA, thanks so much for this review. Actual gameplay in the video was a very nice touch that pushed me to purchase this laptop for the gf. We're not too keen on this kind of stuff and benchmarks are hieroglyphics to us but seeing multiple games handled just fine on high and ultra settings let me put my trust into this model.
how’s the laptop now?
@@tokyodriftcat got this exact model about 6 months ago, and it can runs gta 5 with graph mods and some optimisation at 80 fps
Thank you so soo much, I was looking for a new laptop and this video was loaded with information which helped a lot!
Got it for 2 months and I can say it is a great laptop. For that price it is really cool, CyberBug 60 fps with ray tracing, Metro 2033 Exodus with extreme settings smoothly, every game runs really well. For that price is the best device.
God damn man the more I look into gaming pc’s the more I want to buy one
Hey nice review, i have a question is warzone at the highest settings or can it go more?
Managed to nag this used for 700 bucks, so happy with it, amazing performance for the price.
Subscribed…what a thorough review so nice to see someone actually play multiple games and give such a great in depth review
I just picked this up based on your video. Running great! I would love to see some higher end emulation on the F15!
Is this laptop good for video editing like Adobe premiere Pro?

when i hear RTX i am checking am i in a dream. cool videos i love hand held videos
Which one would you recommend this one or the lenovo legion y540 i7 9th generation 16gb ram nvidia 2060 6gb ? For gaming and of course from time to time to work a bit on it.
Thanks for the info, Been looking around lately on upgrading from my old nitro 5 1050ti without spending to much in till i get a new desktop sorted in the future, so i think this might just be a good choice for awhile
I literally just bought a laptop similar to this one yesterday, and it's suppose to come in next week. I would love to see the emulation performance on a laptop like this.
How is it?
@@RawadSadek it's been good, the best computer I've had. Plays pretty much any game I have, and the one I got is VR ready so I can plug my Quest 2 into it to play PCVR.
That is what I call NICE. I realy had a good time watching this and TNX you a lot for making it.
ive had this laptop for 3 years and its still going like the day I got it. it plays everything ive thrown at it including PCVR. only upgrades ive added is a 1Tb m.2
what's your standby cpu temperature?
Great review, emulation would be a great video to see how it performs
what emulation there is
4:59 wait on the license plate says hoonigan How have I never noticed this before?
Yes its the hunicorn v2
Fantastic contact. Thank you so much for creating. What happened to the simulation testing video for this laptop? I could not find it and therefore assume it hasn’t been completed yet. I would love to see you! Thanks again.
Very detail and very good review... Why can't every review be like you ?
Thank you got this review! I have been debating about this laptop and wasn’t sure
is it good? im thinking the same thing.
@@iak-rs5fb oh yeah , i 100% recommend this laptop , i've been using it for about 4 or 5 months now and its the best bang for buck laptop.
i also ended up buying another one of these laptops to give out as a gift .
and will prob end up buying a 3rd one to give as another gift.
@@MyWastedFantasy thanks for answwring👍👍
@@MyWastedFantasy can I be you’re friend lolol
Got yourself a very nice laptop.
Good review. I’m so tempted in buying this. I saw a used one for $999
This review was very detailed and etc, really enjoyed this one, subed!
You forgot about the most important thing, IPS panel response times, which are downright unacceptable and cause ghostling in those models. Bought one of these and returned ..... I went for G5 KC
Thank you for reviewing this as I just purchased one this week.
How is it?
what do u think about it , i might get one soon
@@otsutsukiboruto8833 it is decent for the cost. NVME boots fast and it runs games and emulators well. DLSS and FSR pretty much future proof it to run next gen games.
@@Junior-qm6mv thank you so much
Hi ETA was this machine fresh out the box or did you remove the SSD and add your own with fresh install of Windows with your games as I am struggling to match half your performance. Thanks 👍
can someone please tell me what's the CL latency of the ram? can't find it anywhere
Add Shadow of Tomb Raider and Rainbow Six Siege to your benchmarking games. Shadow of the Tomb Raider has a free demo and Rainbow Six is cheap. Both have inbuilt benchmarks which will give you a realistic RTX and low demanding game to benchmark data points.
Bro if Rdr2 run well, Rainbow will run well
Just wanna let you know ,that Acer has also decided to release their version with i5 for 89k in India ,but haven't declared the TDP of the 3060
TDP or TGP?
is it worth it?
I remember you once I was watching your video I remembered by seeing your intro
Thank u so much ETA you're all the way the best in reviews!
Was considering this and the Nitro 5 AN515 55 537A, I'm glad you actually did the upgradibility and teardown because i just realized this only have M.2 Slot while the nitro have m.2 and sata
well this got 2x m.2 slots
Could you do an emulation test for this laptop?
Wow im early for once. Well goodjob on the video and i will keep watching this on my beast of a laptop, 5-6 year old intel atom with 2gb ddr3 using 32gb emmc with most of my games stored on a micro sd card.
Just bought this for £764! Pretty happy with that! Thought going into a new job be good to have a strong laptop! :)
Can you put different colors at the same time independently on the keyboard?
Nope, u cant
I really need the emulation video on this laptop
does anyone know what exact ram stick used in this so I can take advantage of dual-channel when it arrives? Thanks in advance.
Can you install a single 32gb to combine with the existing ram either 8gb or 16gb soldered on the board ? Or this laptop has a limit of 32gb of total ram ?
Wow! Those thermals numbers are amazing for the performance it delivers!
Great thermals in such a small case!
@H5fromkfc u got it ? Idk if i order this one
@H5fromkfc how much u paid?
i just ordered mine from bestbuy
@H5fromkfc damn you bought a shit laptop, slower then legion 5 2060 last gen lmao
The performance is low dummy
Congrats on the new laptop! Asus sure can make some sweet machines.
houd je bek man
What if I use it with the cable all the time? Does it cause any damage to the battery life? I mean, I do edits and play a lot, so isn't it better to keep it connected? Thanks
Liking the thermals. And subscribed.
Would you consider doing another video showing this laptop running on a G-sync monitor over USBc display port please?
I’m pretty sure it doesn’t work but I’d love confirmation.
Thank you!
when the extreme cpu doesn't affect performance so much, i7 8 core is overestimate. It only increases the price of the laptop.
thats's a very reliable review, thanks
Dear ETA PRIME,
I have a question as I have never owned a gaming laptop, only gaming desktop.
I can see that the screen is a 144Hz one.
Did you experience any "tearing" ?
Or does this screen come with built in NVIDIA V-SYNC ?
Thank you in advance :)
Please emulation video on this , I'm still waiting. Thatnks a lot
And lets end this video with.. " I want it!!! "
Very helpful video. And we got the same wallpaper lol what a coincidence
Excellent review! should have mentioned the missing webcam though... Also, testing newer games would make more sense, after all this laptop has new hardware and was released in 2021.
true... I was in the store to buy laptop yesterday and when I was about to buy it the salesperson said this doesn‘t have camera and ms office yet lol...
The amount of views on this video is how many times people will say "waiting for the giveaway results"
I think it's funny how many people subscribe to a channel just to try to win stuff.
@@josephl3602 free stuff is free stuff
It's expected I guess. . Real fans of the channel get less of a chance to win because of those that just want free stuff cluttering up the competition.
Every channel has them..
I didnt know he will give the laptop free, i only like to see his emulation test, but i wont participate because i have never win anything
@@mokubakaiba1751 you aren't kidding . lol
GTA V NPCs: ah sh* here we go again
I wish you would have specified @ what screen brightness you ran your battery life tests.
I really need an answer does the laptop screen turn off and on when you turn on and when you charge and when you remove the charger!!???
Did you try DLSS?
Would love to see RPCS3 on this.
i think he use DLSS when he try cyberpunk 1080p ultra RTX
it wouldn't have been this smooth without DLSS

@@roboticvenom1935 The desktop equivalent to this card 1660S, 2060 something like that is somewhere around £500 on it's own where I live. It's almost impossible to build the same spec desktop cheaper than this, when has that ever happened before where components have been more expensive than pre built? I can't think of anytime, this is a good deal.
@@jimmynich4791 Do you know if this is better than a laptop with Ryzen 7 4800H + 2060 110w? I think overall the Ryzen 7 is better right? Even without this 3060

@@Hellzliu21 How are the temps? I have seen a lot of bad reviews about the TUF series. Like they burn as hell while playing
Thank you for this! I've been looking into this laptop for a while, can't see videos properly benchmarking this laptop. May I suggest a comparison of 2 same spec laptop and 1 laptop using a gen4x4 nvme ssd?
Just bought it this week. It's awesome 😎
🤘😁🤘 P.S. That's awfull that they solder RAM to motherboard!
Only one though there's another where u can change so not a deal breaker plus upgradable SSD slot.
But man that 4c/8t sure makes me worried.
You're making my desktop 1080 feel old... I would upgrade but I'm not crazy enough to pay scalper prices.
The 1080 is still a great card though! I'm running a RX580 8GB so I feel your struggle. Maybe someday...
Your 1080 should leave this laptop in dust bruh
You have a 1080, that too a desktop one
whereas the RTX 3060 shown in this video is laptop version, it may come close to 1080 but in no way in the world it can beat a desktop 1080
You'd be better off buying a pre built rig right now. Your 1080 you could sell for loads, a guy I know sold his 3 weeks ago for £400, I think they've gone up since then. If you're not bothered about ray tracing and 4k then your 1080 has loads of life left anyway.
@@STORMFIRE07 I really think this series of gpus is one to skip, ray tracing isn't mainstream or worth it really I think especially with the crazy prices the gpus are going for now. I got a 2070S and don't see any reason to upgrade for one of the current gen cards. Something like a 4070 in a couple of years time maybe.
@@jimmynich4791
Yea, that's pretty much rule of thumb, buy a generation GPU, skip one or two generations, but the third generation
Should I get this, an MSI gf65 with 3060 and 1tb storage or the 2020 razor blade 15 base model

@@smashpro1 the gtx 1650 is cheaper than the rtx 3060
Which GPU drivers are you using? If I put 144Hz mode on, the bottom of screen gets distorted...
Do you have any tests on the screen? How’s the color accuracy for picture editing?
TIPS: For guys in europe it comes with only 8gb and an empty slot, get yourself a 8gb ram to plug in, must have if you dont want the CPU to bottleneck your gaming ! Also make sure to turn on hardware acceleration which was off by default on mine. I recommend the armoury crate silent setting over the performance setting, it will run fine and wont get the fan very loud as long as you lift the back of the laptop by few centimeters, it will help as indeed it would get very hot if its is not lifted during intensive gaming.
How to turn on hardware acceleration??

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on this one but the only thing holding me back is that I heard that when you add a second RAM stick, it has to be the same exact one as the first one or it won't perform optimally. Is this true? Or can I just go buy any high quality ram and add it to the open slot? Also, can you solder the original RAM stick out so that you can add a better one (and one that matches the second stick you're going to buy) to that original slot? Great video 🤙
2K Screen resolution coming to this laptop (or similar laptops?) When is USB4 set to arrive in laptops?
Great review as always. Aside from the amazing GPU, its CPU actually is a bit middling. It's only a quad-core i7, Tiger Lake notwithstanding. There are games that actually will be held back by a quad-core. In 2021, you shouldn't have anything less than six cores in a $1000+ laptop unless it is a 2-in-1 or a tablet PC. My recommendation is to wait for the eight-core Ryzen 5000 and Tiger Lake laptops to come.
Yeah 4 cores really turned me off it seems I gotta take it off my list (
The new version has more cores now

You said nothing about temperature of cpu and gpu. I don't believe in 65-70 c temp on cpu. maybe first 5 min but then its probably 85-95.
No this laptop has really good cooling it stays at 65-75 maybe 83 at max for temps but other than that it’s a cool laptops
It has 3 heat pipes as far as I could see, so cooling is a llttle better than the entry level gaming ones. Plus, this CPU is only 4C/8T, which means less heat than a 6/12 (the ideal imo) for example.
It's also designed with lower wattage settings like the graphics card itself and the i7 it has is also fairly low wattage. It's why the battery lasts so long it's a efficient machine.
Most reviews I have watched stated the temps range from the surface of 64 to 85 at the higher end games. To me it sounds like it handles hest excellently for a machine working as hard as it does.
If you're that worried, grab a cooling pad.
Accordin to @OWNorDisown the Discrete GPU through USBC and HDMI has to be enabled in the BIOS
also due to OPTIMUS some games have lower performance compared to plugin the laptop to a monitor
and the 4core bottleneck
so ill get more fps plugging into monitor?
At 3:25 how do you do that and get it so I can put it on the turbo setting?
Very nice review! Will you be making an "TUF Dash F15 after x months" video?
