Nitro 5 with Ryzen for gaming
The Nitro 5 uses up to a 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen 7 3750H processor with Radeon RX 560X graphics for gaming performance. Users can expect cool visuals and responsive performance from the new AMD technology.

The Nitro 5 streams gameplay with Gigabit Wi-Fi 5 with 2×2 MU-MIMO technology. Users can also connect supporting gadgets with an array of ports such as HDMI 2.0, USB Type-C 3.1 Gen 1 (up to 5 Gbps), and more.
The Nitro 5 features dual fans, plus Acer CoolBoost technology, and a dual exhaust port designed to keep it chilled during extended gaming sessions. CoolBoost increases fan speed by 10% and CPU and GPU cooling by 9% compared to auto mode.
It features Acer’s Network Optimizer to optimize online gaming and keep the data flowing fast and strong. A specially configured GUI (graphical user interface) helps users manage their bandwidth in both Auto Mode — categorizing and prioritizing programs to eliminate network issues — or manually by letting users adjust the priorities, change the bandwidth for each application, or even block specific applications to get the best network experience.
