Acer Nitro 5 AN517-41 in review: GeForce RTX 3070 on the back burner

Solid. Ryzen 7 APU and GeForce RTX-3070 laptop GPU bring all current computer games smoothly to the Nitro 5's screen. However, the GPU falls short of its capabilities - Acer only grants it a relatively low TGP.
AMD Cezanne (Zen 3) Gaming Geforce Laptop Windows

Acer has a mid-range gaming notebook in the 17.3-inch class in its lineup with the Nitro 5, which is powered by a Ryzen 7-5800H APU and a GeForce RTX-3070 Laptop Graphics core. The configuration variant we have is available for just under 1,500 Euros (~$1764). The competitors include devices like the MSI GP76 Leopard 10UG, the Schenker XMG Core 17 (Early 2021), the Asus TUF Gaming F17 FX706HM, and the MSI Katana GF76 11UE - the latter three are RTX 3060 notebooks that are priced on par with the Nitro 5.

Comparably priced 17.3-inch RTX 3070 notebooks are currently hardly found in our database. Therefore, we also consider 15.6-inch RTX 3070 devices, such as the Asus TUF Gaming A15 FA506QR and the Aorus 15G XC. 17.3-inch counterparts of both computers exist.

Case - Nitro 5 with plastic case

Acer does not use high-end looking case materials for the Nitro 5. The case is made of black plastic. The wine-red area between the rear air vents and the red "Nitro" lettering on the hinge cover add a bit of color. The smooth surfaces of the chassis are quite susceptible to fingerprints. There is no maintenance hatch. The battery is screwed inside.

The computer doesn't reveal any workmanship flaws. The gaps are correct and there are no material protrusions. There is room for improvement in terms of stability and stiffness: The base unit and especially the lid can be twisted a bit too much. Pressure on the lid's back doesn't lead to image changes. The hinges keep the lid firmly in position. One-hand opening of the lid is possible.

Within our comparison field, the Nitro 5 and the MSI GP76 are the largest devices in terms of surface area. In terms of weight, most notebooks are on par. The Schenker XMG Core 17 (Early 2021) is considerably more compact and lighter than the competition, while the MSI GP76 weighs the most.

Equipment - the Acer computer does not have Thunderbolt to offer

The Nitro offers three USB-A ports (2x USB 3.2 Gen 1, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2) and one USB-C port (USB 3.2 Gen 2). The latter does not support PowerDelivery or Displayport-per-USB-C. Thus, there is only one video output with the HDMI port. Acer has not equipped the notebook with a memory card reader.

Communication

The WLAN chip (Mediatek MT7921) supports the 802.11ax standard and offers Bluetooth 5 functionality. The data rates determined under optimal conditions (no other WLAN devices in the near vicinity, small distance between notebook and server PC) fall short of the chip's capabilities. We suspect a driver problem. Wired network connections are handled by a Killer E2600 Gigabit Ethernet controller. It performs its tasks smoothly.

Webcam

The webcam (0.9 MP) produces pictures in a maximum resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels. The color accuracy is a problem. With a deviation of almost 12, the target (DeltaE less than 3) is clearly missed.

Accessories

The notebook comes with the usual documents: A quick start guide and warranty information. In addition, a short ribbon cable including a SATA connector is included, which would be needed to install a 2.5-inch storage medium. The corresponding mounting frame is already inside the notebook.

Maintenance

Access to the innards requires disassembly of the bottom shell. After removing all screws on the bottom of the device, the bottom shell can be detached with the help of a flat spatula or a joint smoother. Care must be taken here: The bottom shell is sometimes quite tight.

Warranty

Acer grants the 17.3 incher a two-year warranty. An extension to three years costs just under 100 Euros (~$118).

Input devices - Keyboard with RGB lighting

Keyboard

The main keys (letters, number row) of the illuminated chiclet keyboard have a slightly concave curvature. The other keys (function keys, number pad) have a flat design. They offer a medium stroke and a clear pressure point. The key resistance is quite acceptable, but could be crisper for our taste. The keyboard yields a bit during typing. This did not prove to be annoying. All in all, Acer delivers a keyboard that is suitable for everyday use.

Touchpad

The smooth surface of the multitouch-capable ClickPad (about 10.6 x 7.8 cm/~4.2 x 3.1 inches) makes it easy for the fingers to glide. It also responds to inputs in the corners. The pad has a short stroke and a clear pressure point.

Display - 144 Hz IPS

While the matte 17.3-inch display (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) delivers a good contrast (1,175:1), the average brightness (255.1 cd/m²) is too low. We consider values beyond 300 cd/m² to be good. The 144 Hz panel offers short response times. PWM flickering could not be detected.

The screen shows a quite decent color reproduction in its state of delivery. However, the target (Delta E less than 3) is missed with a Delta E 2000 color deviation of almost 6. The display does not suffer from a blue cast. The color spaces AdobeRGB (38%), sRGB (55%) and DCI-P3 (37%) are not completely reproduced.

Display Response Times

ℹ
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
14 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 7 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 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 27 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.9 ms).
   ↔    Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
18 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 8 ms rise

The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.25 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 25 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (34.5 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ
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: 54 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18982 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

The viewing-angle stable IPS panel can be read from any position. Outdoors, reading the display is possible in the shade or under cloudy skies.

Test conditions

The pre-installed NitroSense software offers various performance profiles and allows influencing the two fans. We performed all benchmarks with the performance profile "High Performance" and used the automatic fan control. The performance profiles correspond to the standard Windows 10 profiles.

Processor

The CPU part of the Ryzen 7-5800H APU (Cezanne) consists of an eight-core processor that operates with a base speed of 3.2 GHz. An increase up to 4.4 GHz is possible via Turbo. Simultaneous multithreading (two threads can be processed per core) is supported.

The multi-thread test of the Cinebench R15 benchmark is processed with 3.7 GHz (mains operation) or 2.5 to 3.5 GHz (battery operation). The single-thread test is always run with 3.4 to 4.4 GHz.

Multi-thread (network operation)
Multi-thread (network operation)
Single thread (network operation)
Single thread (network operation)

We check whether the CPU Turbo is also used permanently in mains operation by running the multi-thread test of the Cinebench R15 benchmark in a loop for at least 30 minutes. The Turbo is used on a medium level.

Graphics card

The actual performance of an RTX-3000 graphics core depends on the maximum TGP that a notebook manufacturer chooses within the limits defined by Nvidia. Acer grants the GeForce RTX-3070 Laptop GPU (Overview of all RTX-3070 laptops including the TGPs) a maximum TGP of 100 watts.

The GPU does decently and delivers results on a below-average RTX-3070 level. There is room for improvement: A firmware update released by Acer increases the GPU performance a bit and brings the benchmark results closer to the RTX-3070 average.

However, the update does not cause an increase in TGP - it remains at 100 watts according to Nvidia's system info. Presumably, Acer has moved the temperature limits upwards -at least that is what the Witcher 3 test shows. After the FW update, the GPU runs through the test with a higher clock and reaches a higher average temperature (65 °C vs. 72 °C/149 °F vs. ~162 °F).

The RTX 3070 can draw on fast GDDR6 graphics memory (8,192 MB). The Vega-8 graphics core integrated in the processor is active and the notebook works with Nvidia's Optimus switching graphics solution.

Gaming performance

The laptop displays all current games smoothly on the screen. FHD resolution (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) and maximum quality settings can usually be selected. The Nitro delivers below-average frame rates compared with the average of the RTX-3070 notebooks tested so far.
