Peb qhov ntsuas ntsuas tsom rau CPU, siv tag nrho cov cores thiab xov, kom ntsuas lub PC qhov tsim nyog rau cov khoom siv ua haujlwm hnyav. Maxon's Cinebench R23 siv lub tuam txhab Cinema 4D lub cav los ua ib qho chaw nyuaj, thaum Primate Labs 'Geekbench 5.4 Pro simulates nrov. apps xws li los ntawm PDF rendering thiab kev paub hais lus rau kev kawm tshuab. Thaum kawg, peb siv qhov qhib-qhov video transcoder HandBrake 1.4 los hloov 12-feeb video clip los ntawm 4K rau 1080p daws teeb meem (qis dua lub sijhawm zoo dua).

Peb qhov kev xeem tsim khoom kawg yog cov chaw tsim khoom ua haujlwm Puget Systems' PugetBench rau Photoshop, uas siv Creative Cloud version 22 ntawm Adobe's nto moo duab editor los ntsuas lub PC qhov kev ua tau zoo rau cov ntsiab lus tsim thiab kev siv multimedia. Nws yog qhov kev txuas ntxiv uas siv tau uas ua tiav ntau yam dav dav thiab GPU-nrawm Photoshop cov haujlwm xws li qhib, tig, hloov pauv, thiab txuag cov duab rau kev siv lub qhov ncauj qhov ntswg, gradient fills, thiab lim.

Lub Nitro 5 yeej tsis tau coj mus rau hauv qhov kev ntsuam xyuas no, tab sis nws yeej tsis poob qis dua. Nws qhov ceev cia (zoo li Lenovo's thiab Alienware's) tsis txaus siab, tab sis feem ntau ntawm nws cov qhab nia nyob ze rau sab saum toj lossis nruab nrab ntawm pawg muaj zog no, ua pov thawj Acer ua lub tshuab muaj peev xwm tshaj tawm. Yog tias koj tab tom nrhiav tshwj xeeb rau kev ua si rig uas koj tseem yuav siv ntau zaus rau kev tshaj tawm kho lossis cov ntsiab lus tsim, koj yuav xav tau Ryzen 9 lossis Core i9 system nrog 32GB ntawm lub cim xeeb, tab sis rau qee lub sijhawm ua haujlwm lossis kev nyiam ua haujlwm ntawm Nitro 5 muaj cov txheej txheem chops.

Graphics thiab Gaming Tests

Peb sim Windows PCs 'graphic nrog ob lub DirectX 12 gaming simulations los ntawm UL's 3DMark: Hmo ntuj Raid (ntau tus qauv, haum rau lub laptops nrog cov duab sib xyaw), thiab Lub Sijhawm Spy (ntau xav tau, haum rau gaming rigs nrog discrete GPUs).

Peb kuj tseem khiav ob qhov kev xeem los ntawm tus ntoo khaub lig-platform GPU benchmark GFXBench 5, uas nyuaj rau ob qho tib si theem qis xws li texturing thiab qib siab, game-zoo li cov duab rendering. 1440p Aztec Ruins thiab 1080p Kev Sib Tw Tsheb Sib Tw, ua rau offscreen kom haum rau cov kev daws teeb meem sib txawv, cov duab kos duab thiab suav cov duab ntxoov ntxoo siv OpenGL programming interface thiab hardware tessellation feem. Nyob rau hauv GFXBench, ntau thav duab ib ob (fps), qhov zoo dua.

Tsis tas li ntawd, peb tau ua peb qhov kev sim ua si hauv ntiaj teb tiag tiag uas siv cov qauv tsim ntawm F1 2021, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, thiab Zaj sawv Six Siege. Cov no sawv cev rau kev simulation, qhib-ntiaj teb kev ua-kev lom zem, thiab kev sib tw esports shooter games feem. Valhalla thiab Siege tau khiav ob zaug (Valhalla ntawm nws qhov nruab nrab thiab Ultra zoo presets, Siege ntawm qis thiab Ultra zoo), thaum peb khiav F1 2021 ob zaug ntawm qhov siab tshaj plaws, ib zaug nrog Nvidia qhov kev ua tau zoo-txhawb DLSS los tiv thaiv aliasing qhib.

Koj tuaj yeem pom dab tsi ntau pua duas las tuaj yeem ua ntawm no - lub tshuab hluav taws xob muaj qhov tseeb ntawm cov npe no. Ntawd tau hais tias, Nitro 5 tuav nws tus kheej, sib piv lossis ntaus tus nqi Razer. Lub tshuab beefier yuav tau txais koj ntxiv thav duab ib ob, tab sis yuav tsis ua rau lub ntiaj teb sib txawv: Hauv qhov kev nkag siab zoo, 64fps piv rau 78fps hauv Assassin's Creed Valhalla ntawm qhov chaw max tsis txhais hais tias lub kaw lus qeeb tshaj plaws yog unplayable, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog xav tias qhov sai dua ib tus nqi $ 1,200 ntau dua thiab tsis tshua muaj txav tau.

Kev txiav txim siab ntawm qhov ua tau zoo, Acer tau xa cov kev ua tau zoo hauv kev ua si nyuaj tshaj plaws, tshem tawm qhov xav tau 60fps teeb meem txawm tias xav tau lub npe zoo li Valhalla. Ntawm lwm qhov kev txhawj xeeb txog Nvidia lub xov tooj ntawm tes RTX 30 GPUs yog qhov tseeb tias lawv sawv cev rau qhov kev poob qis dua piv rau lawv cov desktops; rau tam sim no, koj tsuas yog yuav tsis nce siab tshaj 100fps hauv hom kev ua si no.

Roj teeb thiab Zaub Tests

Peb sim lub laptops lub roj teeb lub neej los ntawm kev ua si hauv zos khaws cia 720p video file (qhov qhib-qhov Blender movie Kua muag ntawm hlau) nrog cov zaub brightness ntawm 50% thiab lub ntim ntawm 100% kom txog thaum lub kaw lus tawm. Peb xyuas kom meej tias lub roj teeb tau them tag nrho ua ntej kev sim, nrog Wi-Fi thiab keyboard backlighting tua.

Peb kuj tseem siv Datacolor SpyderX Cov Neeg Tseem Ceeb saib ntsuas ntsuas ntsuas ntsuas thiab nws cov software los ntsuas lub khoos phis tawj lub vijtsam xim xim - pes tsawg feem pua ​​​​ntawm sRGB, Adobe RGB, thiab DCI-P3 xim gamuts lossis palettes cov zaub tuaj yeem pom - thiab nws qhov ci ntsa iab hauv nits (candelas ib square meter) ntawm qhov screen 50% thiab qhov chaw siab tshaj.

Lub Nitro 5 tau pom muaj lub zog zoo, kav ntev li ntawm xya teev hauv peb lub roj teeb ua haujlwm. Raws li koj tuaj yeem pom, qhov ntawd yog ob peb teev ntau dua li qee tus neeg sib tw, thiab txog qhov zoo tshaj plaws koj tuaj yeem xav tau los ntawm 17-nti gaming laptop. Txawm tias feem ntau 15-nti gaming rigs tsis kav ntev dua. Cov kab hauv qab yog, txawm tias Acer tsis yog lub tshuab nqa tau tshaj plaws, koj tuaj yeem nqa nrog koj yam tsis tas yuav tuag. soon raws li koj nyob nraum ncav cuag ntawm lub qhov hluav taws xob phab ntsa.

Ib yam li hauv peb qhov kev sim qhov muag ua ntej, Nitro cov zaub ua pov thawj tsuas yog li ntawd hauv peb cov kev ntsuas kho vajtse. Nws cov xim gamut kev pabcuam yog qhov nruab nrab, thiab nws qhov ci ntsa iab (thaum ua tiav nws cov lus cog tseg 300 nits) yog subpar. Nws tsis yog qhov phem txaus los ua tus txiav txim siab, tab sis zoo li duller dua li qee qhov kev pom zoo.

Tus nqi ncaj ncees rau High-End Gaming

Qhov tseeb 17.3-nti Acer Nitro 5 muaj qhov kev ua tau zoo uas koj xav tau hauv lub khoos phis tawj siab kawg, txawm tias muab kev pom zoo zoo dua li feem ntau $ 2,000-ntxiv rau gaming rigs. Qhov ntawd, ntxiv rau qhov chaw cia txaus thiab lub vaj huam sib luag ceev ceev, yog nws qhov loj tshaj upsides. Tshaj li cov ntsiab lus no, nws yog qhov tsis txaus ntseeg - tus qauv tsim yog dawb, tsim muaj qee qhov flex, thiab nws cov zaub zoo yog me ntsis hauv qab nruab nrab.
