Brand New Design

The TUF Gaming chassis has been redesigned for 2022, and is 4.5% smaller than last year’s models. The TUF logo has been reimagined as well, with both embossed and laser-sculpted versions. Despite this size reduction, the brand new 2022 TUF Gaming A17 still houses a large touchpad with anime-inspired accents and four-way indicators.

No Wasted Space

The new chassis design is 4.5% smaller than the previous generation, without sacrificing the full-sized keyboard.

Status Report

Four-way indicators built into the keyboard deck allow at a glance monitoring of key system information.

Titanic TouchPad

A 26% larger touchpad also sports a bit of anime-inspired flare.

Ready for Anything

Jump right into the action with the TUF Gaming A17. Running Windows 11 out of the box with an AMD Ryzen™ 7 6800H CPU and up to 16GB of blisteringly fast 4800MHz DDR5 RAM, your streaming and multitasking are handled with ease. Leverage the full gaming performance of the GeForce RTX™ 3070 Laptop GPU with a dedicated MUX Switch. When your game library gets full, an empty M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen 4x4 SSD slot makes upgrading storage capacity a breeze.

Amplify your Experience

Take charge with an energy-efficient AMD Ryzen™ processor up to a Ryzen™ 7 6800H. Bolstered by comprehensive cooling, the CPU runs on up to 45W of sustained power, delivering excellent gaming and multitasking performance. Built on the new Zen 3+ architecture using the cutting-edge 6nm process, this CPU has plenty of power for today’s games and applications.

Expandable Storage

Games and apps load faster than ever on the nimble NVM Express® (NVMe®) SSD. Snappier load time for all your programs means you can spend less time waiting and more time gaming. Take your must-play titles on the go with the up to 1TB PCIe® drive, or add a second drive via the open M.2 SSD slot for a multi-terabyte collection.

More Multitasking

Up to 16GB of dual-channel DDR5-4800 memory makes everything from multitasking to multimedia rendering run fast and smooth. High-performance RAM lets you switch between gaming, streaming, and web browsing seamlessly. Keep focused and keep active with no slowdowns in sight.

Riveting Graphics

Gameplay graphics are silky smooth with the latest GeForce RTX™ 3070 Laptop GPU, which reliably delivers high frame rates in plenty of modern games even at 1440p. With AI-powered technology like DLSS, supported titles will run at even higher FPS for ultra-fluid motion.

Boost Performance With AI

NVIDIA DLSS gives games a speed boost with uncompromised image quality. Crank up the settings and resolution for an even better visual experience.

More Immersive Experiences

Ray Tracing is the holy grail of graphics. It simulates how light behaves in the real-world to produce the most realistic and immersive graphics for gamers and creators – and runs fast thanks to 2nd gen RT Cores.

Optimised Power and Performance

NVIDIA Max-Q is a suite of technologies powered by AI that optimize laptops to deliver high performance in thin form factors.

Get More with MUX

Modern gaming laptops use powerful, dedicated graphics chips for high performance—but most route those frames through the CPU's integrated graphics before reaching the display. This offers better battery life, but prevents your GPU from giving its absolute best performance. So we're bringing a MUX switch to all 2022 TUF laptops. For competitive games, you can switch to a direct GPU mode that reduces latency and boosts performance by an average of 5-10%.

Blow Away the Competition

High core count CPUs create more heat when at full load. The TUF Gaming A17 is equipped to handle its high-power CPU with a pair of 84-blade Arc Flow Fans™. Our new variable thickness design has the dual benefit of increasing pressure while reducing turbulence, improving cooling performance without extra noise. When paired with up to four exhaust vents and five dedicated heatpipes, the 2022 TUF Gaming A17 keeps its cool in even the most demanding games.

Arc Flow Fans

Slim chassis leave little room for cooling, so we enhanced every aspect of the Arc Flow fans™. Each one features 84 blades that vary in thickness from base to tip to maximize airflow, and the blades are capped by a special aerodynamic wave pattern that minimizes turbulence and noise. Steady, evenly regulated airflow ensures greater reliability over time. The fans are made of a special liquid-crystal polymer that’s strong enough to spin at high RPMs even at ultrathin sizes, enabling our highest blade density and improving airflow by up to 13%.

Never Miss a Moment

Keep up with the pros thanks to a FHD 144Hz panel. With Adaptive-Sync, the display’s refresh rate synchronizes with the GPU’s output to reduce lag, minimize stuttering, and eliminate visual tearing for ultra-smooth and lifelike gameplay. Packed into an impressive 80% screen-to-body frame, videos and games will be even more immersive without sacrificing portability.

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 A17 is more than capable of withstanding the accidental bumps and knocks of everyday life.

The World at Your Fingertips

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. A 26% larger touchpad makes sure you’re always in control.

Take Charge

A 90Wh battery paired with the power-efficient AMD processor provide up to 12.5 hours of web browsing and up to 12 hours of video playback, with fast charging technology returning the machine to 50% charge in just 30 minutes.

Hear it All

Two speakers powered by Dolby Atmos ensure a high-fidelity soundstage. Hi-Res Audio delivers music the way the artist intended over headphones. Two-way AI Noise Cancelation keeps incoming and outgoing communications clear of background noise, letting you focus on the action.

Safe Port in a Storm

No matter your setup, the TUF Gaming A17 will keep you connected. A dedicated HDMI 2.0b port is supplemented by a USB Type-C with DisplayPort support. Fast and reliable WiFi 6 (802.11ax) ensures that you’ll be able to get online and be productive wherever compatible connections are available, or you can wire up directly with gigabit Ethernet on-board.

The Ultimate Command Center

Armoury Crate unifies system and lighting controls to put essential settings at your fingertips in a single utility. Its extensive customization options let you personalize aesthetic effects, fine-tune game profiles, and adjust audio settings to fit your preferences. With Scenario Profiles, you can define and custom preferences that automatically adjust performance and other settings when you launch your favorite apps and games. Take complete control of your experience and make it fully your own.
