I'm an owner from recently purchased Acer Nitro 5 with specs 17,3 FHD IPS 144hz 1080p, 5800H, 32GB RAM (16+16) and RTX3080 so I thought I might share some insight to whomever has second thoughts about purchasing this particular model. Currently I'm only playing RD2 on ultra with anti aliasing options switched off at convenient 60 fps, give or take. GPU has taken up around 5GB of VRAM out of 8gb available. If you push any other settings fps will instantly drop because you are POWER RESTRICTED. GPU to 100watts while the CPU at 25watts with usage usually less than 50%. The CPU runs around 90 degrees with 25 max wattage while GPU runs cooler at around 70-75 degrees with 100% usage and 100 watt usage. This is achieved on balance mode on battery settings and auto mode with fans. At some places game uses up to 18gb of system RAM but it's anywhere between 12 and 18 gigs. Looking at Legion PRO 5 with the same CPU and RTX 3070 pumped with 140 watt with even better thermals makes me wonder if I made the right purchase...it's got nothing to do that I'm not satisfied with this laptop but kinda been wondering If could have paid less for even more performance...I paid around 2000 euros for this model and legions with rtx 3070 and 5800h started popping out for around 1800 euros (and that is with even faster nvme drive and 165hz QHD screen) edit* 20.2.2022 so I've been using my first nitro for some time now and I can safely say this laptop has somewhat thermal issues while fans are on balanced mode from playing rdr2 on ultra settings 1080p. While it doesn't throttle after prolonged gaming I would still like to see lower temperatures. On max spin fan noise is just dreadful for your ears. I plan on solving this by buying thermaltake 20rgb cooling pad. Reading comments from other nitro and predator users on acer forums, I came across ryzen controller app that allows for various performance tweaks around your CPU/GPU...and what I've have done so far is manually decreased CPU TDP from 25 (which is default) to 10 and max temp 85 to 65 degrees without any performance loss! All 8 cores are clocked around 2800mhz and GPU around 1545 mhz but this can vary depending on location on map. Worth mentioning this also allows battery not to drain while gaming, yes you heard that right, in some scenarios power from outlet just won't cut it. Interestingly enough, the GPU temperature now close follows CPU all the while fan noise is acceptable. Still, take all of this with a grain of salt, fps tends to drop from 60ties to 40ties while in city as CPU needs from juice from the power outlet which I have restricted. It's not ideal but in my case definitely worth the trouble.
If you have a secondary 2k(2560*1440) 144hz display, can you please check whether your laptop can handle this monitor at 2k 144hz settings. In my laptop i can not pass 115 hz(screen goes black after that value) :(
@@Berkooo Yesterday arrived my external monitor Acer Nitro 272U VA panel that I got on sale and supports 2K/1440. Works just fine with this laptop through HDMI capped at 144hz, it goes up to 165hz refresh but with DP instead of HDMI, havent done any proper testings but looks and feels nice, some people complain about batman ghosting (which I have already noticed on black loading screens but doesn't really ruin user experience) and black smearing that come with VA panels but it was cheaper overall and with red accent so I just had to have it haha! Funny thing is that in RDR2 I can set resolution to 4K in settings which is confusing, not sure how this is possible, maybe someone can explain it to me
@@Berkooo I'm aware there is no DP port on laptop so I can't fully utilise monitor capabilities, just saying for other users who perhaps have desktop setup.

@@lovroturibak3434 Actually you can use all display capabilities since Acer technical support stated that the laptops's Hdmi port is 2.1 version, we do not need to use dp port.

Does anyone experience issues with the keyboard light? Mine worked perfect for the first months of my purchase, but after a while they randomly didn´t work. The keyboard light now works from time to time. I have tried to enable the light with FN+F9 and F10, does not work (worked in the first months). I try trough NitroSense and it does not work (According to the NitroSense, it shows that the lights are on, but not in practice). I have uninstalled programs and installed them again without any results...
What is the GPU Boost Clock of this Laptop? I think it is limited to 1245 MHz while the Power Limit is 100 Watt. The PSU will be a 180 Watt model. The cooling solution of the Acer Nitro 5 Laptops can't handle GPU's with high power consumption. I own an AN517-41-R5Z7. Thank you for this video and greetings from Lower Saxony in the north of Germany. 🙂
I would recommend the Lenovo legion 7 RTX 3070 over the Acer nitro 5 RTX 3080. Why? the answer lies in the TGP values. the former offers a full-powered 140 TGP instead of the Acer with only less than 100 TGP. higher TGP values mean better performance. For example, Lenovo legion 7 or 5 pro laptops have better durability, cooling system, and quality build compared to Acer Nitro 5.

Save your time watching this. There are no benchmarks whatsoever in this video, it's just about how the laptop looks.
The lack of gaming benchmarks in this gaming laptop review is disturbing
I'm sorry we didn't include the benchmarks. We did not have the time to fit this in am afraid!
