Acer Nitro 5 AN515-46 review: powerful FHD gaming with USB 4

Well-rounded.

The Nitro 5 stands out with its great gaming performance and comparatively low temperatures. The notebook fits two PCIe-4 SSDs and features a USB 4 port.

Acer's Nitro 5 series consists of entry-level and mid-range gaming devices. The laptops are positioned below the Predator series, with prices reaching up to 2,500 euros. Today's test unit is available starting from 1,750 euros. Acer has combined an energy-efficient Ryzen 7-6800H APU with a GeForce RTX 3070-Ti GPU (TGP of 150 watts) for this model. In theory, this could make for a powerful notebook that has low emissions and a long battery life. The device's competitors include the Schenker XMG Fusion 15 (Mid 22), the MSI Katana GF66 12UGS, and the Asus TUF Dash F15 FX517ZR.

The AN515-58 has been fitted into the same case as its Intel-based sibling, which we already tested. To find out more about the case, connectivity and input devices, please see our review of the Nitro 5 AN515-58 (Core i7, QHD).

The matte 15.6-inch (1,920 x 1,080 pixel) display's brightness of 320.2 cd/m² fulfills our minimum requirements (> 300 cd/m²). Its contrast ratio of 1,363:1 is more than adequate and easily beats its competition. The 165-Hz panel has short response times and does not use PWM at any level of brightness. 

The display supports AMD's FreeSync technology. This dynamically matches the display's refresh rates with the GPU. The aim is to create the smoothest image possible - especially in computer games.

* ... smaller is better

The screen displays colors quite well ex-works. We measured a color deviation of 3.26, which is only just above the ideal value (DeltaE < 3). Calibrating the display reduces deviation to 0.87 and makes grayscales appear more even. The panel can display almost the entire sRGB color space (98.1%) and covers 70% of AdobeRGB and 69% of DCI-P3. The sister model's QHD panel achieves better overall color space coverage.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 4 ms rise
↘ 4 ms fall
The screen shows fast response rates in our tests and should be suited for gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 18 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
13 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 6 ms rise
↘ 7 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 23 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32.8 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8684 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Performance - Nitro notebook with Ampere and Rembrandt

The Acer Nitro 5 AN515 - a 15.6-inch gaming notebook - is available in a whole range of configurations and can be equipped with either an Intel or an AMD processor. The entry-level configuration is currently available for approximately 800 euros (Core i5-11400H, RTX 3050, 8 GB of RAM, 512-GB SSD, no Windows). The most expensive model (Ryzen 9 6900HX, RTX 3070 Ti, 32 GB of RAM, 1-TB SSD) has a price tag of 2,400 euros.

Testing Conditions

The pre-installed NitroSense software (the laptop's control center, see images) can be used to switch between the performance profiles set by the manufacturer ("performance", "standard", and "quiet"). We performed all our tests with the "standard" profile and with fan control set to automatic. The CPU performance is the same in all performance profiles; GPU performance varies slightly.

Processor

The CPU part of the Ryzen 7 6800H APU (Rembrandt) is made up of an octa-core processor with a basic clock rate of 3.2 GHz. The clock rate can increase up to 4.75 GHz thanks to the turbo. The chip supports simultaneous multi-threading (working two threads per core). The CPU benchmark results are the same across all three performance profiles.

The Cinebench R15 multi-thread test resulted in clock rates between 4 and 4.2 GHz. The single-thread test was completed with 2 to 4.75 GHz. On battery, the CPU clocked at 2.5 GHz (multi-thread) and 1.2 to 2.5 GHz (single-thread). The CB15 loop benchmark confirmed that the CPU turbo can be used continuously.

The processor offers a good performance overall. It does fall behind Intel Alder Lake CPUs occasionally, especially when they can take advantage of their additional CPU cores.

The well-rounded and smooth-running system offers sufficient computing power for demanding applications such as rendering, video processing and gaming. The PCMark results are good. The RAM's transfer rates (DDR5-4800) are slightly lower than those of comparable notebooks such as the Asus TUF Dash F15.

DPC Latencies

The standardized Latency Monitor test (browsing, playing 4K videos, running Prime95 High Load) showed some weaknesses in terms of DPC latencies. The system does not seem to be suitable for real-time video and audio processing. Future software updates could improve or even worsen this situation.

Storage Device

The 1-TB SSD (PCIe 4, M.2-2280) from Micron has very good transfer rates but suffers from drops in performance due to thermal throttling. The AN515 has another slot for a second PCIe 4 SSD. In theory, the notebook could also be equipped with a 2.5-inch storage device, but the device does not come with the necessary SATA slot nor a suitable drive caddy.  

The storage device is a PCIe 4 SSD
