Something's a little out of place with the Acer Nitro 50 prebuilt gaming PC. Can you tell what it is?
Even as a last generation CPU, the Core i5's got a lot going for it with single core Cinebench R23 scores of 1,697, and multi core scores of 11,595. That gives it an edge in rendering, and an average synthetic performance of 34.14 fps when testing with X264 v5.0.1.
The 4K 3DMark Time Spy Extreme benchmark did give it a little trouble though. A CPU score of 4,068 is lacking compared to other machines we've tested, which will be down to the RTX 3060's contribution; this is really not the card for 4K. In actual gaming benchmarks, the CPU saw 82fps averages in Hitman 3 Dartmoor—that's on ultra graphics settings at 1440p, with sim quality set to best. Not a terrible score, especially when you put it next to 43 fps averages in Metro Exodus Enhanced. The F1 22 performance with ray tracing on was underwhelming at 29fps, though the test was done on the rainy Belgium track with anisotropic filtering at x16, and graphics set to ultra high.
The rest of the gaming benchmarks were all done at 1440p on ultra settings, and all were more than playable thanks to the core components, though for an additional $99 you could have yourself the NZXT Streaming PC that manages another 20fps in Far Cry 6, 18fps in Hitman Dartmoor, and 17fps in Metro. It doesn't sound like a lot, but considering the great thermals and more impressive NVMe SSD, it's almost a no-brainer.
