The Acer Predator 17X will carry the most powerful mobile GPU available to go above and beyond the minimum requirements for virtual reality. The GTX 980 can also be found on a handful of enthusiast-level gaming notebooks including certain Clevo barebones like the Eurocom DLX7 and the Asus GX700. As for CPU power, the new Acer can make use of a Core i7-6820HK. Three system fans are used for cooling and to help cope with the overclockable CPU up to 4 GHz and the GPU up to 1310 MHz and 3.7 GHz VRAM.
When compared to the original Predator 17, the Predator 17X will be slightly thicker in size but with a completely redesigned interior to handle the demanding 300 W TDP GPU and system.
