Based on the RDNA 3 architecture and designed to handle the graphical demands of 4K gaming as well as 1440p at high frame rates, the ASUS Radeon RX 7900 XT TUF Gaming Graphics Cardprovides an immersive gaming experience with your PC games. The GPU features 20GB of GDDR6 VRAM and a 320-bit memory interface, offering improved performance and power efficiency over the previous RDNA-based generation.

The front panel of the card features a variety of outputs, such as DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1. DisplayPort 2.1 technology with UHBR 13.5 offers up to 54 Gb/s of display link bandwidth and enables high-refresh 4K (up to 480 Hz) or 8K (up to 165 Hz) gaming on next-gen displays. HDMI 2.1 supports up to 48 Gb/s bandwidth and a range of higher resolutions and refresh rates, including 8K @ 60 fps, 4K @ 120 fps, and even up to 10K.

For cooling, ASUS implemented triple Axial tech fans.

Featuring an advanced chiplet design, new compute units, and second-generation AMD Infinity Cache technology, AMD RDNA 3 architecture delivers up to 54% more performance per watt than the previous-generation AMD RDNA 2 architecture. New compute units share resources between rendering, AI, and raytracing to make the most effective use of each transistor for faster, more efficient performance than the previous generation.

Now with a chiplet design, this GPU delivers up to 15% higher frequencies with up to 54% better power efficiency. It includes the 5nm Graphics Compute Die (GCD) with up to 96 compute units that provide the core GPU functionality. It also includes six of the 6nm Memory Cache Die (MCD), each with up to 16MB of second-generation AMD Infinity Cache technology.

Unleashing the benefits of 2nd Gen AMD Infinity Cache technology, the chiplets leverage AMD Infinity Links and high-performance fanout packaging to deliver up to 5.3 TB/s of bandwidth.

To meet the growing requirements of today's demanding titles, the GPU features 20GB of high-speed GDDR6 VRAM running at 20 Gb/s over a 320-bit memory bus.

AI instructions and increased AI throughput deliver up to 2.7 times more performance than the previous AMD RDNA 2 architecture, while 2nd-Gen raytracing technology delivers up to 1.8 times more performance than the previous generation.

This graphics card supports DisplayPort 2.1 technology with UHBR 13.5, offering up to 54 Gb/s of display link bandwidth and enabling high-refresh 4K (up to 480 Hz) or 8K (up to 165 Hz) gaming on next-gen displays.

Provides 12 bit-per-channel color for up to 68 billion colors and higher refresh rate displays compared to AMD RDNA 2 architecture and includes support for DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1a.

DisplayPort 2.1 provides increased display bandwidth compared to DisplayPort 1.4, with the ability to support up to 900 Hz, 480 Hz and 165 Hz refresh rates for 1440p, 4K, and 8K displays, respectively.

Supports simultaneous encode or decode streams up to 8K60 for HEVC and supports AV1 encode, delivering up to 1.8 times higher engine frequency than AMD RDNA 2 architecture.

AMD FidelityFX is an open-source image-quality toolkit comprising of seven different solutions available for game developers to implement into their games that are optimized for AMD RDNA, RDNA 2, and RDNA 3 architectures.

Q: 1. Does the Thunderbolt 4 works as a pass through AC supply too?

A: According to manufacturer spec the Thunderbolt 4 port is PD capable.

Q: 2. Can I add 2 SSD, say 2 TB or higher PCI-e 4.0 X4 (generation 4 instead of 3) to the two SSD slots?

A: Adding a PCIe 4.0 drive to a PCIe 3.0 slot will not increase speeds, as you would be limited to the PCIe 3.0 speeds of the motherboard.

Q: 3. Does this model (ASUS TUF506HM-BS74) actually have thunderbolt 4?

A: Yes, the ASUS 15.6" TUF Gaming F15 Series Gaming Laptop (Eclipse Gray) BH #ACTUF506HMBS has Thunderbolt 4.

Q: 4. Would this make a good computer for 4k video editing?

A: Yes, the ASUS 15.6" TUF Gaming F15 Series Gaming Laptop (Eclipse Gray) BH #ACTUF506HMBS is suitable for 4K video editing.

Q: 5. can you tell me a link at b&h to buy 16gb memory compatible with this laptop?

A: This ASUS 15.6" TUF Gaming F15 Laptop already has 16 GB of RAM installed. If you want to install 32 GB of RAM, you will need to remove the existing memory, and replace it. This would be a good 32 GB kit to consider: https://bhpho.to/3Z9PacR

Q: 6. I know the laptop has an adapter but it says it has thunerbolt 4 port does that mean i can also charge through the thunderbolt 4? Has anyone charged this laptop through the thunderbolt 4 port? thanks

A: Yes, you will be able to charge the ASUS 15.6" TUF Gaming F15 Laptop (Mecha Gray) through the Thunderbolt 4 port.

Q: 8. Does the HDMI port pass audio?

A: HDMI ports carry video and audio signal

Q: 9. Ram upgrade can be done with only 01 memory of 16gb. Or do I have to update with 02 memories of 16gb?

A: The ASUS 15.6" TUF Gaming F15 Laptop (Mecha Gray) has two slots for RAM, and a maximum capacity or 32GB of RAM. You can use a single stick of RAM if you wanted, but it would not perform as well as dual stick setups, so when upgrading the RAM from 16GB to 32GB, I would advise using two 16GB sticks instead of one 32GB stick.

Q: 10. Can you charge the laptop with a Thunderbolt 4 dock or hub?

A: The ASUS 15.6" TUF F15 FX506HC series cannot be charged via Thunderbolt 4 or with a hub.
