If you prioritize high performance for demanding tasks like gaming or engineering software, the ASUS TUF Dash 15 with its more powerful processor and graphics card could be the better option. However, it's less portable than the HP Victus 15 due to its heavier weight. The HP Victus 15 offers a balance between performance and value, making it suitable for general use and some lighter gaming, and it's easier to carry around. In terms of battery life, ASUS may last longer on a single charge, which can be a significant advantage if you're often on the go. The choice ultimately depends on whether you value top-tier capabilities and longer battery life over cost savings and increased portability. Give Feedback

The ASUS TUF Dash 15 is good for gaming and AI, while the HP Victus 15 is only fair.
The ASUS TUF Dash 15 offers better gaming and 3D performance primarily due to its more powerful Nvidia RTX 3060 graphics card compared to the Nvidia RTX 3050 in the HP Victus 15, even though both have the same screen refresh rate of 144Hz for smooth visuals. While both laptops have similar screen quality, the stronger GPU in the ASUS will handle more demanding games and 3D applications with greater ease.

How the ASUS TUF Dash 15 and the HP Victus 15 compare to other laptops
"The Asus TUF Dash F15 FX517ZR is a laptop with mobile RTX 3070 and acceptable battery life. The Asus TUF Dash F15 was made for high-performance applications like video editing, rendering, and gaming. The laptop can manage the latter in QHD resolution and at high to maximum settings. However, the focus isn't on maximum performance, but instead, it's about a compromise between performance and portability."
Olivier Martin, Ryan Lim, and Yannick Khong | March 2023
"The HP Victus 15 is great for gaming. It's available with Intel 12th Gen. CPUs and NVIDIA discrete graphics, which are powerful enough to provide a smooth gaming experience in demanding AAA titles at 1080p. It has a nice keyboard and a fast SSD, as well as Wi-Fi 6 and Ethernet connectivity for low-latency online gaming. Unfortunately, its 144Hz display has a slow response time causing noticeable ghosting, and it doesn't support variable refresh rate to reduce screen tearing."
