MagyarASUS TUF Gaming FX705DY (Ryzen 5 3550H, Radeon RX 560X, SSD, FHD) Laptop Review
The FX705DY forms part of ASUS’ The Ultimate Force (TUF) series, which is the Taiwanese company’s affordable range of gaming laptops. We have recently reviewed two models, the FX705GM and the FX705GE, which are both powered by Intel Core i7-8750H processors. Our current review unit, the FX705DY-AU072, is the cheapest model in the series at almost 800 Euros (~$900) and comes with an AMD Ryzen 5 3550H APU along with an AMD Radeon RX 560X GPU.
Our review unit’s closest competitor is the Dell G3 17 3779, which also costs around 800 Euros (~$900). We have also chosen to compare the FX705DY against the Acer Predator Helios 300 and Lenovo Legion Y730-17ICH, although both are more expensive than ASUS’ budget gaming laptop.
We should also point out early on that the FX705DY shares many of its components and design with its FX705 siblings. Hence, we shall skip straight to the display and forgo discussing the case, connectivity, software, accessories, warranty and input devices. We shall not cover our review unit’s display or speakers in great depth either because we have already covered them in our FX705GM and FX705GE reviews.

Display
The FX705DY has a matte, 17.3-inch IPS display that operates natively at 1920x1080. Our review unit achieved an average maximum brightness of 303.4 cd/m² in our tests and a contrast ratio of 1,006:1, which are acceptable and on par with its competitors. The FX705DY does not use pulse-width modulation (PWM) to adjust screen brightness, so you should not have any ill effects from looking at the display for prolonged periods.
ASUS equips the FX705DY with the same panel as it uses in the FX705GE. The two devices achieve different results in our tests, but this is to be expected as every panel has slight variances even if they are from the same batch and manufacturer.

Performance
The FX705DY is powerful enough to handle all modern triple-A games smoothly thanks to its AMD Ryzen 5 3550H APU and AMD Radeon RX 560X GPU. ASUS sells other variants, like the FX705GM and FX705GE that we recently reviewed. These cost considerably more than the 800 Euros (~$900) that the Taiwanese manufacturer charges for the FX705DY though.
Test Conditions
The FX705DY does not come with an OS, so we installed Windows 10 Pro to conduct our tests. We also installed ASUS’ Armory Crate Control Center, which allows you to monitor system performance and adjust fan speeds among other settings. The software also includes three preset power modes that ASUS calls “Quiet", "Balanced", and "Turbo”. There is an option labelled "Windows" too, which cedes control to Windows Power Management. We used the latter in our tests to compare the power of the FX705DY’s components and how it utilises them against our comparison devices without a custom power mode muddying our results.
We also ran some benchmarks with our review unit running in turbo and silent mode to demonstrate what difference they make if any. We have included the results throughout our charts and tables below.
Processor
The FX705DY is powered by a Ryzen 5 3550H APU that AMD manufacturers on its Zen+ microarchitecture. The Picasso-generation chip has a 35 W thermal design power (TDP) and a 2.1 GHz base clock speed across its four cores. The APU uses AMD Turbo Core to achieve up to 3.7 GHz on all cores and Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) to execute up to eight threads, or two on each core.
The Ryzen 5 3550H is AMD's answer to the Intel Core i5-8300H, although the APU cannot quite match the Intel chip on performance. The Core i5-8300H has a 10 W higher TDP, which allows it to achieve markedly better single-core performance while still edging the Ryzen 5 3550H in multi-core applications too.
The APU in our review unit initially operates at 3.7 GHz in multithreaded benchmarks like Cinebench R15, but it quickly drops to 3.5 GHz and hovers around there for the remainder of the benchmark. However, the chip fluctuates between 1.6 and 3.7 GHz during single-threaded benchmarks, although it can only manage between 1.4 and 2.4 GHz when running on battery. Likewise, the APU begins multithreaded benchmarks at 2.4 GHz on battery but soon increases to around 3.3 or 3.4 GHz.
We also subjected our review unit to a looped CB R15 Multi 64Bit benchmark that we run for at least 30 minutes. We do this to see how devices manage their performance under prolonged load. The FX705DY scored 742 points in the first benchmarks but dropped to around 735 points for the next four pass-throughs. Scores had decreased to 705 points by the seventh pass, which the system maintained for the remainder of our loop.
Enabling turbo mode boosts performance by around 2% and closes the gap to the Dell G3 17 3779, but the FX705DY still generally scores around 3% less than its Core i5-8300H-powered counterpart. As expected, quiet mode reduces performance and results in around 10% lower CB R15 Multi 64Bit scores.

System Performance
The FX705DY scored well in PCMark benchmarks, but it falls short of most of our comparison devices here. Regardless, our review unit worked smoothly throughout our tests, and we encountered no problems like crashes or stutters while multitasking.
It would be possible to improve though by adding a second RAM module, which would enable dual-channel mode. Our review unit runs in single channel mode out of the box, which prevents the system from getting the most out of its GPU.

Storage Devices
ASUS equips the FX705DY with a 512 GB Kingston NVMe SSD. The drive in our review unit delivers decent transfer speeds as demonstrated in our CrystalDiskMark comparison table below. The SSD has better transfer speeds than all the drives in our comparison devices apart from the one in the FX705GM, although it is not one of the fastest SSDs currently on the market. The Samsung 970 EVO Plus is significantly faster, for example. However, NVMe SSDs have much higher transfer speeds than their SATA III counterparts, which are limited to around 600 MB/s, so the Kingston has that going for it too.
The FX705DY also has space to be retrofitted with a 2.5-inch HDD. ASUS includes the appropriate drive mount and screws in the box should you wish to add additional storage.

Graphics Card
The Radeon RX 560X GPU is based on AMD’s Polaris generation and supports DirectX 12. The chip can operate at up 1,223 MHz, which AMD complements with 4 GB of GDDR5 VRAM. Our review unit performed as expected for an RX 560X-powered device, which puts its graphics performance between laptops equipped with either an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 or a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti.
Interestingly, activating turbo mode did not improve 3DMark results. Quiet mode does reduce performance slightly though but not by the same degree as it affects CPU performance. Incidentally, adding a second RAM module improves the physics performance in synthetic benchmarks, although not by much.

Gaming Performance
The FX705DY is a competent gaming laptop. Our review unit can play most modern games in 1080p at medium to high graphics settings, although we would recommend turning the graphics down to low or reducing the resolution in some triple-A titles like Metro Exodus. The GPU is also not powerful enough to play games smoothly at higher than 1080p on an external monitor.

We also subjected our review unit to an hour-long run-through of The Witcher 3 that we set to 1080p and maximum graphics. We do not move the game's main character, Geralt of Rivia, during this test, for reference.
The FX705DY maintained between 20 FPS and 24 FPS throughout this test, so the device should not throttle during prolonged gaming sessions. We would not recommend playing at these frame rates though.
