A long-lasting 90Wh battery coupled with TUF’s military-grade durability keeps you on your best game anywhere.

TAKE ON ANY CHALLENGE

Always ready for action, the TUF Gaming F17 excels at gaming, streaming, and everything in between. Harness serious power for demanding tasks with up to an 8-core, 16-thread Intel® Core™ i9-11900H CPU. Gameplay graphics are smooth with the latest GeForce RTX™ 3060 GPU which reliably delivers high frame rates for a ton of modern games. A superfast NVMe PCIe® SSD up to 1TB speeds up load times, while an open SSD slot makes it easy to add terabytes more space for all your games.

*3200MHz memory speed only available in configurations with Intel® Core™ i7 and Core™ i9 CPUs.

SPEED TO VICTORY

Game at pro-speed with a fast, IPS-level panel up to 144Hz. With Adaptive-Sync, the display’s refresh rate synchronizes with the GPU’s frame rate to reduce lag, minimize stuttering, and eliminate visual tearing for ultra-smooth and immersive gameplay. Ultrafast Thunderbolt™ 4 lets you connect conveniently on the fly, like powerful external GPUs or external monitors that level up your multitasking power. Play 4K Ultra HD movies, videos, and games on big-screen TVs with HDMI 2.0b.

CRYSTAL CLEAR AUDIO

Two speakers with four cut-outs are loud and powerful, enabling deeper audio immersion. DTS:X™ Ultra delivers high-fidelity audio for clear, precise sound. Virtual 7.1-channel surround sound enhances spatial awareness in-game to help you get the drop on enemies. Up to 8 preset modes for music, movies, and gaming genres optimize your experience further, on top of the built-in equalizer that lets you fine-tune your settings at will.

LASTING COOL

Comprehensive cooling sustains long-term system reliability and extends the lifespan of your machine. Four heatpipes and three heatsinks draw heat away from your hardware and dissipates it quickly, keeping component temperatures at optimum levels. A self-cleaning cooling design ensures that your cooling system stays debris-free for full functionality for the long haul. Tuned operating modes balance clock speeds and acoustics for the task at hand, customizable to your needs.

OPTIMIZED FOR GAMING

Arm yourself with a desktop-style keyboard optimized for gaming. Uniform RGB backlighting lets you express your own unique style, while highlighted WASD accents give you a visual shortcut to key movement commands. Overstroke technology triggers higher in each keystroke for faster responsiveness and effortless control. In true TUF form, each key is durable enough to withstand over 20 million presses for superb long-term reliability and precision.

MILITARY-GRADE TOUGHNESS

In order to earn the TUF Gaming name, these laptops must successfully survive a rigorous battery of MIL-STD-810H tests. Test devices are exposed to drops, vibration, humidity, and extreme temperatures to ensure reliability. Dependable even in the harshest conditions, the F17 is more than capable of withstanding the accidental bumps and knocks of everyday life.
