Even though the Acer Nitro 5 is equipped with the last-gen RTX 3070 Ti dGPU, the 15-inch QHD gaming laptop has a noticeably better price-performance ratio than the vast majority of RTX 4000-powered machines in the sub-US$1,000 price segment.

Despite the slowly growing discounts on the most recent gaming laptops from the 2023 model year, bargain hunters should still consider their Ampere-powered predecessors with enthusiast-grade mobile graphics cards like the RTX 3070 Ti. For example, the corresponding AMD configuration of the Acer Nitro 5 has now gone on sale for a quite compelling price.

The reputable online retailer Antonline is currently offering the Acer Nitro 5 with the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H octa-core processor and the well-known Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti with a high TGP of 150 watts for just US$969 including free shipping on eBay. The 15-inch gaming laptop is further equipped with a 165Hz IPS display with a QHD resolution of 2560 by 1440 pixels, up to 300 nits of brightness and complete DCI-P3 coverage. Lastly, the Acer Nitro 5 features a 1TB SSD and 16GB DDR5-RAM.

We have reviewed a fairly similar configuration of the Acer Nitro 5, but our test unit was equipped with the lower-resolution FHD display. However, our benchmarks of this exact CPU and GPU pairing should also reflect the great performance of the QHD gaming laptop that is on sale here. All in all, we found much praise for this well-rounded machine, but gamers may want to invest in a decent pair of noise-cancelling headphones as the AMD-equipped notebook can get quite loud under load. Since this applies to many gaming laptops on the market, buyers with less than US$1,000 to spend should make sure to check out this deal.
