Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-53 in review: Fast gaming machine with extra performance

More power at the press of a button. The Predator Helios 300 brings all modern computer games smoothly onto the matte screen (Full HD, IPS, 144 Hz). Since Acer only uses one RAM module, memory runs in single-channel mode.

Sascha Mölck, 👁 Sebastian Jentsch (translated by Stephanie Chamberlain), 11/03/2020 🇩🇪 🇮🇹 ...

The Predator Helios is a 15.6-inch gaming laptop. The device is powered by a Core i7-10750H processor and a GeForce RTX 2060 GPU. Competitors include devices like the Dell G5 15 SE, the Aorus 5 KB, the Schenker XMG Core 15, and the Asus TUF A15 FA506IV.

Since the Predator is largely identical in construction to its predecessor, we won't go any further into the case, the connectivity, the input devices, the display, and the speakers - unless there are differences. The corresponding information can be found in the review of the Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-52.

Case and connectivity - Slight changes compared to the predecessor

At first glance, the case resembles that of its predecessor. But there are differences. For example, the power supply connector has been moved from the center of the left side to the center of the back. The HDMI output and the Mini DisplayPort have switched places. Furthermore, additional ventilation openings have been created above the keyboard. Moreover, the current model has gained some weight. There's a new addition in terms of ports too: Instead of a USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 1 port, the current Predator model has a USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 2 port on board.

Display - 144 Hz IPS

While the contrast (1,450:1) of the matte, viewing-angle stable 15.6-inch display (Full HD, IPS) is good, the brightness (294.3 cd/m²) is just about acceptable. We consider values beyond 300 cd/m² to be good. The 144 Hz panel used offers fast response times and decent color reproduction. Positive: We couldn't detect any PWM flickering.

This is the same panel that was used in the previous model. Nevertheless, the values measured differ slightly. This is a normal condition. Two identical displays will never be 100% consistent.

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
11 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 6 ms rise
11 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 5 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 0.8 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 17 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (23.4 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
17 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 9 ms rise
17 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 8 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 0.692 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 18 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (37 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: 52 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 21941 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Performance - Predator with automatic GPU overclocking

With the Predator Helios 300, Acer has a 15.6-inch gaming laptop in its range that brings every modern game smoothly onto the screen. The price of our test device should be approximately between 1,500 and 1,600 Euros (~$1,744 and ~$1,860). Other configuration variants are available. The prices start at around 1,020 Euros (~$1,186).

Test conditions

The preinstalled Predator Sense software allows fan control adjustment and automatic GPU overclocking. The GPU profiles "Normal", "Fast" and "Extreme" are available. We conducted our test with automatic fan control and under the "Normal" GPU profile. Some benchmarks were additionally run under the "Extreme" profile.

Acer has placed a "Turbo" key above the keyboard. If this button is pressed, the fans run permanently at full power, and the "Extreme" GPU profile is activated.

Processor

The Core i7-10750H hexa-core processor (Comet Lake) operates at a base speed of 2.6 GHz. The clock speed can be increased to 4.3 GHz (six cores) or 5 GHz (one core) via Turbo. Hyper-Threading (two threads per core) is supported.

The processor works through the CPU tests of the Cinebench R15 benchmark at 4.2 GHz (multithread) and 4.2 to 5 GHz (single-thread), respectively. On battery power, the clock rates are 2.4 to 2.6 GHz (multithread) and 2.4 to 3.2 GHz (single-thread), respectively.

We verify if the CPU Turbo is consistently used when plugged in by running the Cinebench R15 benchmark's multithread test in a continuous loop for at least 30 minutes. Turbo is used to a large extent.

System performance

The system is fast and smooth. The PCMark results are good. The laptop offers enough computing power for performance-demanding applications such as gaming, video-editing, and image-processing for the coming years. A slight increase in performance could be achieved by activating dual-channel mode. For this purpose, the laptop would have to be equipped with a second memory module.

DPC latencies

In our standardized latency monitor test (web surfing, 4K video playback, high-load Prime95), we could observe issues with the DPC latencies. The system doesn't seem to be suitable for real-time video and audio-editing.

Storage

The laptop can accommodate two NVMe SSDs in the M.2 2280 format, which could form a RAID 0 array if required. Our test device is only equipped with one NVMe SSD that provides 512 GB of storage space. The transfer rates are good. Furthermore, the Predator still has room for a 2.5-inch storage medium. Our test device can't be upgraded with that type of drive, because the necessary SATA slot is not included.

The SATA slot needed for the installation of a 2.5-inch storage drive is missing.

Graphics card

The GeForce RTX 2060 graphics core is an entry-level model in the GPU upper class. It can access fast GDDR6 graphics memory (6,144 MB). The results in the 3DMark benchmarks are at a normal level for the RTX 2060 GPU. Moreover, the "Extreme" Predator Sense GPU profile only provides a slight increase in performance. The UHD Graphics 630 chip that's integrated into the processor is active, and the laptop works with Nvidia's Optimus graphics-switching solution.

Nvidia specifies a clock range between 1,005 MHz (base) and 1,350 MHz (boost) for this DirectX 12 GPU. Higher speeds are feasible if the GPU doesn't reach a specified temperature and/or energy threshold. The maximum is 2,032 MHz. Our The Witcher 3 test is run at an average speed of 1,453 MHz and 1,645 MHz (GPU profile: Extreme), respectively.

Gaming performance

The built-in CPU-GPU combination can bring all the latest games smoothly onto the screen. Full HD resolution and high to maximum quality settings can usually be selected. Higher resolutions (an appropriate monitor would have to be plugged in for this) require a reduction of the quality level. The "Extreme" GPU profile only produces a slight increase in frame rates (see comparison diagram).

The single-channel memory is responsible for the fact that some games achieve significantly lower frame rates at low settings than on comparably equipped laptops. A second memory module (= dual-channel mode active) would provide improvements.

In order to verify whether the frame rates remain largely constant over a prolonged period of time, we let the game The Witcher 3 run for about 60 minutes at Full HD resolution and maximum quality settings. The character is not moved. A drop in frame rates wasn't found.
