Verdict – Who should buy the Acer Nitro V 17?
The Acer Nitro V 17 is aimed squarely at budget-conscious gamers who value quiet and power-efficient gaming over maximum frame rates. As an example: the Lenovo LOQ 17 is five percent faster in Cyberpunk 2077, but also 17 percent louder and consumes 56 percent more power.
The main drawbacks are the dim Full HD panel with no sRGB coverage, although a QHD option is available. Adding a second RAM module could also unlock a bit more performance.

The Acer Nitro V 17 ANV17-41-R4CJ is a 17-inch gaming laptop combining an Ryzen 7 260 and an RTX 5070 at an attractive price point. We take a closer look at how well Acer balances performance and cost.
Specifications – Gaming with Ryzen 7 and RTX 5070
Chassis and connectivity – How good is the build quality?
The smooth black plastic chassis is relatively thin for a 17-inch laptop and flexes slightly under pressure, but it does not produce any creaking noises. Panel gaps are even and unobtrusive.
USB 4 and Wi-Fi 6E are the standout features, while the 720p webcam is a clear downside. Ports are distributed on all sides except the front; we would have preferred the USB-C port on the side.
SD Card Reader
Im Gegensatz zu allen direkten Konkurrenten ist ein SD-Reader vorhanden, dieser liest aber nur MicroSD-Karten und ist sehr langsam.

Input devices – What is typing like on the Nitro V 17?
Despite the 17-inch chassis, the numeric keypad keys are noticeably small. Key labels are printed in orange, resulting in weak contrast. There is a dedicated NitroSense key, and the RGB keyboard backlight is limited to a single zone.
Key travel is short but feedback is clearly defined, allowing for fast and surprisingly quiet typing.
The touchpad measures 12.6 × 8.3 cm and offers smooth gliding characteristics. Physical clicks have a firm pressure point and do not rattle.
Display – How good is the 17-inch panel?
Our unit features a matte Full HD IPS display (1,920 × 1,080) with a 144 Hz refresh rate and not even full sRGB coverage. Brightness is disappointing at just 238 nits. Contrast is acceptable, but the image looks washed out overall. Response times are also subpar for gaming.
A QHD panel with 165 Hz and full DCI-P3 coverage is available as an alternative.

Performance – Is the RTX 5070 enough for AAA games in QHD or 4K?
With its RTX 5070 and Nitro branding, the V 17 positions itself as a budget-friendly gaming laptop designed primarily for its native resolution, with some headroom for QHD gaming.
Test conditions
From the four NitroSense profiles (Quiet, Balanced, Performance, Turbo), we use “Performance,” which also enables access to the MUX switch.
On battery power, only Balanced and Quiet are available, and the display does not automatically switch to 60 Hz.
The system memory is configured in single-channel mode.
| Performance Mode | Cinebench R15 Multi | Fire Strike Graphics | Cyberpunk 2077 FHD Ultra (fps) | Noise Cyberpunk (dB) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Turbo | 2545 | 36736 | 88.7 | 50.14 |
| Performance | 2543 | 37312 | 87.7 | 47 |

| Quiet | 2433 | 33076 | 77 | 36.45 |
| Battery | 2070 | 13800 | 30 | 25 |
Processor
The AMD Ryzen 7 260 is a more affordable CPU, but far from weak. Its 8 cores and 16 threads boost up to 5.1 GHz.
In Cinebench loop testing, CPU performance remains very consistent and roughly matches the Core i7-14650HX found in the Katana 17. Across all benchmarks, however, the Nitro V 17 trails the Katana 17 and the Omen 17z by around five percent.
When running on battery, CPU performance drops by 19 percent.

The 1 TB Western Digital SSD throttles only late in sustained load tests, which is still less than ideal. While performance is solid in AS SSD, poor DiskSpd results (sequential write, 4K read/write) leave the Nitro V 17 in last place overall.

Gaming performance
Compared to competing systems, gaming performance falls slightly behind, not only in CPU-heavy titles. The sole positive outlier is Baldur’s Gate 3.
Games generally run smoothly at the native resolution, often exceeding 100 fps. Depending on the title, there is some headroom for QHD, with DLSS handling the rest effectively (our VRAM article). However, the dark display makes games appear less vibrant than on some competing laptops.
In the Cyberpunk 2077 loop, GPU power consumption stabilizes around 87 W, although a TGP of 95 W would be expected.

Emissions & Energy – How loud is the Acer Nitro V 17 during gaming?
Noise
At idle, the Nitro V 17 is usually silent, and even during 3DMark 06 testing, fan noise measures just 34 dB. During gaming, the V 17 remains one of the quietest systems in its class.
In sleep mode, however, the fans periodically spin up for short bursts. The same behavior occurs when powering the system on or off.

Power consumption
Under gaming load, the Nitro V 17 consumes noticeably less power than slightly more powerful competitors. The included 135 W power adapter further underlines Acer’s focus on quiet, efficient gaming.
In sleep mode, however, power draw is far too high at 8 W due to the periodically spinning fans. When using an external monitor via HDMI, the dedicated GPU remains active
