Acer announced that some of its recently launched gaming laptops will benefit from some silicon updates. In addition to shipping with Nvidia’s GTX 1650 or GTX 1660 Ti graphics, the Predator Helios, Nitro 7, and Nitro 5 laptops will also get a processor boost to Intel’s ninth-generation Core i7-9750H CPU.
Acer confirmed that the company’s newest laptops, which were announced at a press event earlier in April, will ship with Nvidia’s new GeForce GTX 16-Series graphics. This means that the Predator Helios 300, Nitro 7, Nitro 5, and Aspire 7 notebooks will ship with either Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1660 Ti or 1650 graphics card on board with a Max-Q design.
The inclusion of Nvidia’s midrange graphics card means that these laptops will benefit from a performance boost when compared to the prior generation GTX 1060 graphics. Acer’s gaming-focused laptops will compete against other systems, including those from Asus, MSI, and Lenovo that were all recently updated to support GTX 1660 Ti graphics.
