GIGABYTE AORUS MASTER 16 AM6H (BYHC5USE64SH) / ASUS TUF Gaming F16 (2024) FX607JV

GIGABYTE AORUS MASTER 16 AM6H (BYHC5USE64SH): BYHC5USE64SH (US): Core Ultra 9 275HX, RTX 5080 Laptop GPU 16 GB, 32 GB DDR5, 1 TB SSD, Windows 11 Home, Dark Tide. The BZH (RTX 5090) and BXH (RTX 5070 Ti, 140 W) in the same chassis and the AMD-based AORUS MASTER 16 are separate configurations.

ASUS TUF Gaming F16 (2024) FX607JV: FX607JV: Intel Core i7-13650HX, GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU 8 GB (130 W = 105 W + 25 W Dynamic Boost), 16-inch WUXGA 165 Hz IPS display, 90 Wh battery. RAM and SSD capacity depend on the retail SKU (e.g. 2 × 8 GB in ASUS Canada’s table; 2 × 16 GB and 1 TB in the Spanish test unit). The RTX 4050 FX607JU, the Core 5 210H FX607VU/VJ and the 2025 TUF F16 (FX608) are separate models.

GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU, 16 GB GDDR7; up to 175 W graphics power including Dynamic Boost; up to 1,902 MHz AI Boost clock (1,702 + 200 MHz OC)

175 W includes the share Dynamic Boost shifts to the GPU when CPU load is low; GIGABYTE notes the figure may vary by scenario. The desktop RTX 5080 is a different card.

GIGABYTE		NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU, 8 GB GDDR6; 2420 MHz at 130 W (2370 MHz boost + 50 MHz OC; 105 W + 25 W Dynamic Boost)

130 W is the maximum GPU power when Dynamic Boost shifts budget from the CPU; 25 W is added to the sustained 105 W depending on load balance. This laptop GPU is not the same product as the desktop RTX 4060.

ASUS
Hybrid graphicsNVIDIA Advanced Optimus and G-SYNC

Advanced Optimus switches the display between integrated graphics and the RTX GPU without a reboot: a direct GPU path in games, battery savings in light work.

Display16-inch 16:10 OLED, 2560 × 1600 (WQXGA), 240 Hz, 1 ms; 100% DCI-P3; 500 nits peak; 1,000,000:1 contrast; glossy surface

240 Hz shows motion more clearly in fast games and puts the RTX 5080’s high frame rates on screen; 500 nits is an HDR peak, not sustained full-screen brightness.

GIGABYTE		16-inch WUXGA (1920 × 1200) 16:10 IPS-level, anti-glare; 165 Hz; sRGB 100%, Adobe 75.35%; G-Sync

165 Hz means motion at up to 165 frames per second in suitable games; G-Sync matches refresh to frame rate to reduce tearing. The colour gamut suits sRGB content; it is not a wide-gamut panel.

ASUS
Display certificationsVESA DisplayHDR True Black 500, VESA ClearMR 10000, Dolby Vision, Pantone Validated, TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light

True Black 500 certifies HDR peak brightness of 500 nits together with OLED’s deep blacks; ClearMR 10000 is a motion-clarity tier.

MemoryDDR5-5600; two SO-DIMM slots, up to 64 GB

Memory is not soldered. The BYHC5USE64SH ships with 2 × 16 GB, so both slots are filled and upgrading means swapping modules.

GIGABYTE		DDR5 SO-DIMM, two slots, dual channel; capacity depends on SKU

The modules are not soldered and can be upgraded. According to ASUS, memory speed depends on the processor.

ASUS
StoragePCIe NVMe M.2; one PCIe Gen5 and one PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 slot, up to 4 TB

A second SSD can be added. The Gen5 slot gives higher sequential speeds with a compatible Gen5 SSD; which slot the factory SSD uses can vary by configuration.

GIGABYTE		PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD; two M.2 PCIe slots in total (one used)

Capacity can be 512 GB, 1 TB or 2 TB depending on SKU; a second SSD can be added in the free slot.

ASUS
Left portsDC-in; RJ-45 1 Gbit LAN; HDMI 2.1; USB-A (USB 3.2 Gen 2); USB-C Thunderbolt 5 (USB4, DisplayPort 2.1, Power Delivery 3.0)

The Thunderbolt 5 port suits high-bandwidth external SSDs, docks and DisplayPort 2.1 monitors; HDMI 2.1 supports high-refresh TVs and monitors.

Right portsUSB-A (USB 3.2 Gen 2); USB-C Thunderbolt 4 (USB4, DisplayPort 1.4, Power Delivery 3.0); microSD card reader (UHS-II); 3.5 mm headphone/mic combo

The two USB-C ports differ in speed and display version; for a high-resolution external display the left Thunderbolt 5 port is the better choice.

Battery and adapter99 Wh lithium-ion; 330 W AC adapter

99 Wh is close to the upper limit for laptop batteries allowed on planes. Full GPU power needs the 330 W adapter; USB-C charging via Power Delivery 3.0 is possible but performance is reduced.

Graphics switching—MUX Switch + NVIDIA Advanced Optimus

The MUX connects the display directly to the RTX GPU to cut latency and performance loss in games; Advanced Optimus can switch automatically without a restart and returns to the integrated GPU on battery.

ASUS
Ports—1 × Thunderbolt 4 (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

ASUS lists G-SYNC support only for the USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port; the Thunderbolt 4 port has DisplayPort output but no G-SYNC listed. HDMI 2.1 FRL allows high refresh rates on compatible TVs and monitors.

ASUS
