Specification	ASUS TUF Gaming A15 (2024) FA507UV (Ryzen 7 8845HS)	MSI Sword 16 HX B14VGKG-063ID
Release year	2024	2024
Processor	AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS: 8 cores, 16 threads, 3.8 GHz, up to 5.1 GHz, 24 MB cache; AMD XDNA NPU up to 16 TOPS The NPU is a dedicated unit for running some Windows AI features without loading the CPU or GPU. ASUS also sells this chassis in Ryzen 9 8945H SKUs. ASUS	Intel Core i7-14700HX; 20 cores (8 P + 12 E), 28 threads, 33 MB cache, up to 5.5 GHz The HX series is a high-power laptop processor; real performance depends on MSI’s power modes and cooling. MSI
Graphics	NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU, 8 GB GDDR6; 1940 MHz at 140 W (1890 MHz boost + 50 MHz OC; 115 W + 25 W Dynamic Boost) 140 W is the maximum GPU power when Dynamic Boost borrows budget from the CPU: 25 W is added to the sustained 115 W depending on load. This laptop GPU is not the same product as the desktop RTX 4060. ASUS	NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU; 8 GB GDDR6; boost up to 2115 MHz; 321 AI TOPS MSI
Display	15.6-inch Full HD (1920 × 1080) 16:9, anti-glare; 144 Hz; 100% sRGB, 72% NTSC, 75.35% Adobe; G-Sync 144 Hz shows motion smoothly when games reach up to 144 frames per second; G-Sync matches refresh to frame rate to reduce tearing. 100% sRGB suits web and game content; it is not a wide-gamut panel. ASUS	16-inch QHD+ (2560 × 1600), 240 Hz, IPS-level panel, 100% DCI-P3 (typical) The 16:10 ratio gives more vertical space at the same width; 240 Hz shows motion more smoothly in high-frame-rate games. MSI
Graphics switching	MUX Switch + NVIDIA Advanced Optimus The MUX connects the display directly to the RTX GPU to cut game latency; Advanced Optimus can switch without a restart. ASUS	—
Memory	DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM, two slots, dual channel; up to 64 GB (2 × 8 GB or 2 × 16 GB depending on SKU) The modules are not soldered; going higher means replacing the installed modules. ASUS says memory speed varies by CPU. ASUS	16 GB (2 × 8 GB) DDR5-5600; 2 SO-DIMM slots, up to 96 GB Memory is not soldered; capacity can be raised by replacing the two modules. MSI
Storage	512 GB or 1 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD (by SKU); two M.2 PCIe slots in total ASUS notes that only single-sided SSDs fit the M.2 slot because of components on the motherboard. ASUS	1 TB NVMe SSD (PCIe Gen4); 1 × M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen4 and 1 × M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen5-compatible slot The second slot allows an extra SSD; the Gen5-compatible slot accepts faster new-generation SSDs. MSI
Ports	1 × USB4 Type-C (40 Gbit/s, DisplayPort), 1 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (10 Gbit/s, DisplayPort / power delivery / G-SYNC), 2 × USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (5 Gbit/s), 1 × HDMI 2.1 FRL, 1 × RJ45, 3.5 mm audio The USB4 port provides 40 Gbit/s data and video out; G-SYNC is listed only for the USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port. The RJ45 port does not support PoE. ASUS	3 × USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A; 1 × Type-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2, DisplayPort, Power Delivery 3.0); 1 × HDMI 2.1 (8K 60 Hz / 4K 120 Hz); headphone/mic combo jack; Gigabit Ethernet The Type-C port outputs video.
