Acer Gtx 1050

[Margarita Lovvorn]

Didyou have to tinker with the BIOS or something similar? I'm trying a similar setup with a 2019 Acer (Aspire, not Nitro), but I want to prepare myself in case I need to apply a custom BIOS or something like that.

I was just wondering if I am supposed to put the heatsink on top of the thing, or do I just leave it there? Also, will I be able to unplug the adapter from the m.2 port every so often? It's just because sometimes I have to bring it to some places, and I am not sure if it allows me to. Finally, do I need that adapter, 100 dollars is a bit expensive, do you know any alternatives?

@swayf46180, Hi, I am thinking of doing this with my nitro 5 an515-54 because my internal Nvidia GPU is not working as it should, would I also be able to do it? Or are all models of nitro 5 different I wish to know because I want to see if a GTX 1050 could work my current gpu is 1650.

The new Aspire V Nitro notebooks come in 15.6-inch and 17.3-inch models, and similar to its original design, the updated Black Edition laptops are loaded with USB Type-C ports that support video output and Thunder Bolt 3 data rates up to 40 Gbps in addition to the signature red LED-illuminated hinge and support for NVMe SSDs (M.2).

Both of the new Nitro Black notebooks can be equipped with up to an Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor and up to 16GB of DDR4 out of the box. The Aspire V is upgradable to a maximum of 32GB (2 x 16GB), but Acer is only willing to get you halfway to that limit, offering up to a single 16GB memory module. Consumers also get the choice between a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5 graphics module or the new GTX 1050 Ti, in addition to 1080p and 4K display options.

The Aspire V 17 Nitro Black Edition offers an optional Tobii eye-tracking sensor bar, which is integrated in the hinge of the notebook, similar to other laptop manufacturers that have adopted the eye-tracking technology as a premium (or, sometimes, standard) feature.

Acer also revealed an all-new Aspire laptop: the VX 15. Similar to the Aspire V Nitro Black notebooks, the Aspire VX 15 can be equipped with up to an Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor, and Acer will load up to 16GB of memory, despite the 32GB maximum capacity. Graphics options include the freshly-minted GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and 1050, placing the performance and price at a decidedly mainstream level.

Some of the most popular gaming laptops fall under the Acer Nitro and Acer Predator brands, with several different monitors, desktops, and peripheral devices also being sold under these brands. The Nitro series is known for offering good performance for its price range, whereas the Predator series offers superior technology.

The Acer Nitro is a series of budget gaming computers that first launched in 2017 and that is marketed to gamers looking for high-performance machines at a reasonable price point. The Nitro series includes desktops, laptops, monitors, and other accessories and competes with other midrange computers. The series was introduced with the Nitro 5 laptop, which featured a 2.50-GHz Intel Core i5-7300HQ, a 4-GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, and 8 GB of DDR4 SDRAM. Since 2017, Acer has released several iterations of the Nitro gaming laptop series, including the Nitro 7, 16, and 17. Acer also has a wide range of gaming monitors and a desktop machine under the Nitro brand.

Predator laptops have magnesium chassis and better cooling systems than Nitro laptops. The Nitro series, being the budget-friendly option, are usually inside a plastic case with a similar fan setup as the Predator but containing less sophisticated cooling technology. Both the Predator and Nitro have RGB lighting in their keyboards that is customizable with the Sense software.

Both Nitro and Predator laptops come with 15-inch or 17-inch screens, and both series offer high refresh rate monitors, with refresh rates ranging from 60 to 165 Hz refresh. Predator Triton and Helios offer more color-accurate displays than the Nitro series. The Predator series typically offers higher resolution displays, with some models boasting 4K resolution. The Nitro 5 has a Full HD (1080p) display, which is still decent for most games and daily use, and at the top end, a 15-inch Nitro can come with 1440p.

Both laptop series house a versatile and diverse set of ports. Nitro, Helios, and Triton are equipped with at least two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports for display, file transfer, and fast charging. They also support USB-A, with a full range of USB 3.2 Gen 1 and 2 ports, even on the slimmer Triton series. On top of that, they all offer one HDMI port.

The Nitro 5 series is the one for you if you are on a tight budget yet still want a machine that can deliver outstanding game performance. Acer has given this particular model a powerful graphics card and a decent amount of high-speed RAM, making it capable of running modern games at ultrahigh quality. The price of this machine is kept low thanks to the screen, hard drive, and battery, all of which are smaller than those in similar but more expensive machines, making it excellent value for money. Hogwarts Legacy, God of War Ragnark, and Valorant will run smoothly on this Nitro 5 without kicking its fans on to full blast. It also has a responsive full-size keyboard and trackpad.

In summary, the Acer Nitro brand can be trusted to provide the perfect balance between affordability and performance, whereas the Acer Predator series offers superior gaming performance in a well-engineered chassis, with the Helios brand giving heavyweight, desktop-level performance and the Tritan brand giving powerful yet sleek computing capability. Nitro laptops are more affordable than other gaming laptops, making them an appealing option for gamers on a tight budget, and Predator laptops are the best option for hardcore gamers looking for the most powerful pro-level gaming machines.
