About this deal

Bolstering a pretty miniscule 238GB PCIe SSD boot drive with an HDD (even a 1TB one) is, frankly, a mistake. The left side doesn’t have the usual transparent tempered glass panel that showcases the neat interior, just some holes to let hot air escape. But if you save up or have a flexible budget, you can get something faster like our Editors’ Choice, the Alienware Aurora R13 gaming desktop PC.

It doesn't sound like a lot, but considering the great thermals and more impressive (and larger) NVMe SSD, it's almost a no-brainer. The Acer Nitro 50 packs a solid feature set designed for anyone starting to take PC gaming seriously. Elsewhere, Far Cry New Dawn leverages the MSI Aegis but pulls ahead at 1080p by 11 fps, scoring 108 fps, which drops to 65 fps in 4K. As usual with a big-brand PC like this, the Acer Nitro N50 gets an underwhelming motherboard and interior. For instance, Shadow of the Tomb Raider runs at 153 fps at 1080p on the Acer N50-640-UR12 and 56 fps at 4K.Finally, Nvidia Ampere brings ray tracing and Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS), and both of these technologies are available on the RTX 3060. Shape the audio to your personal tastes and track opponents as though you're standing there next to them. In actual gaming benchmarks, the CPU saw 82fps averages in Hitman 3 Dartmoor—that's on ultra graphics settings at 1440p, with sim quality set to best.

The F1 22 performance with ray tracing on was underwhelming at 29fps, though the test was done on the rainy Belgium track with anisotropic filtering at x16, and graphics set to ultra high. You can definitely hit smoother frame rates with a little settings tinkering, which is the general ethos of this machine. The trademark Mr Memory is the exclusive property of Americanino Limited and is protected by UK Trademark Registration No: 2616298. It packs a capable Nvidia RTX 3060 (12GB) graphics card, which offers much better gaming performance than the base RTX 3050 graphics card available on most budget gaming desktops and laptops.It's still hooked up with a 1TB hard drive, so the data side is still slow, but that takes away a lot of our immediate issues with the Nitro 50.

Upgrade your computer with DDR4 3200MHz memory - the quickest, easiest way to boost performance and speed and increase reliability!Even as a last generation CPU, the Core i5's got a lot going for it with single core Cinebench R23 scores of 1,697, and multi core scores of 11,595. Experience lifelike virtual worlds, ultra-high FPS gaming, revolutionary new ways to create, and unprecedented workflow acceleration. The Acer Nitro 50, used as a productivity machine, packs enough power to run most tasks, may it be media creation or video editing. If you work from home or are thinking of doing so in the future you need to have the right tools available to do your job as efficiently as possible.
