MUX SWITCH WITH NVIDIA ADVANCED OPTIMUS A GPU MUX switch lets the GPU route frames directly to the display, increasing performance and decreasing latency. Without a MUX switch, the GPU is forced to go through the CPU's integrated graphics first before reaching the display, which hurts gaming performance. With Advanced Optimus enabled, the system can automatically switch between GPU modes based on the task to optimize performance and battery life. BLOW AWAY THE COMPETITION The TUF Gaming F17 is equipped to handle its high-power CPU with a pair of 84-blade Arc Flow Fans. The new variable thickness design has the dual benefit of increasing pressure while reducing turbulence, improving cooling performance without extra noise.
