The HP Victus 15 has a better screen than the ASUS TUF Gaming F17 for content creation.
The ASUS TUF Gaming F17 and HP Victus 15 have screens that perform well for general use due to their adequate resolution and brightness, making everyday tasks and video viewing pleasant.

The ASUS TUF Gaming F17 and HP Victus 15 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The ASUS TUF Gaming F17 and HP Victus 15 are considered fair for gaming and 3D due to their mid-range GPUs, the RTX 3050 Ti and RTX 3050 6GB, respectively, which are capable but not top-of-the-line for demanding gaming and 3D tasks. Both laptops have a screen refresh rate of 144Hz, which is good for smooth gameplay, but the other factors like CPU and screen quality, while sufficient, do not excel to the highest standards for enthusiast-level gaming or professional 3D work.

Christian Hintze | April 2022
"One of the Asus TUF Gaming F17’s highlights is without a doubt its excellent gaming performance. The fact that Asus configured the RTX 3060 GPU for its specified maximum of 140 W is became immediately noticeable in our benchmarks. For a 17-inch notebook the F17 also offers a very long battery life, which makes it somewhat portable. On the flip side is the display. It may be saved by its good overall contrast ratio, but its overall brightness is simply too low, and its response times are too slow for a gaming device. The F17’s successor needs to improve upon this."

"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."
