The Acer Nitro V 17 AI ANV17 is a large gaming laptop, allowing me to smoothly play medium- and high-end games in Full HD. I play most games without stuttering at a minimum of 60 frames per second. The laptop also has a large screen that gives me a good overview of my games. The backlit keyboard also gives the laptop a cool gaming look. However, I do find the loud fans a drawback.
Powerful NVIDIA RTX 5000 graphics card
The Acer Nitro V has an NVIDIA RTX 5060 graphics card. The laptop easily handles medium-end games. I play a light game like Powerwash Simulator at the maximum frames per second on the highest settings. I play Far Cry 6 with ray tracing enabled, but the graphics card struggles with this. The image stutters during fast movements. With DLSS support enabled, I play stably at 60 frames per second, but it demands a lot from the RTX 5060. I do play Assassin's Creed Mirage smoothly between 90 and 110 frames per second in Quad HD.
Large screen with a gaming look
The 17-inch screen gives me a good overview of my games. In Assassin's Creed Mirage, I climb a minaret and see the surroundings clearly and in detail. The laptop doesn't stutter when I do this either. Besides gaming, I also have a good overview while editing photos and videos. The RGB backlit keyboard gives the Acer Nitro a nice gaming look. The downside is its weight, partly due to the plastic casing. This makes it harder to carry the laptop from room to room. During startup, I see the laptop light up orange, which I find a nice combination with the black design. Acer NitroSense lets me easily adjust the keyboard colors, for example, when I want to play a different game.
Good ventilation
Thanks to its larger size, the laptop cools well under higher pressure, for example, when I play Far Cry 6 with ray tracing enabled. The large fans and vents keep the laptop cool. The downside, in my opinion, is the laptop's loudness during gaming. I also adjust the fan speed using NitroSense. For testing, I set it to maximum, and the noise is clearly audible. Ultimately, it's all about the cooling, which I find works well.
