Things were better with the less graphically-intensive real time strategy game Total War: Warhammer, which typically taxes the CPU a bit more.
#ACER PREDATOR 21X PRIS SOFTWARE#
We’d like to note here that the bunded Acer Predator software is excellent, making it easy not just to overclock your components, but also set up the macro buttons on the keyboard and configure the LED lighting that decorates the Acer Predator 21 X. That’s still not quite a rock-solid 30 fps, though. With GPU overclocking set to ‘Turbo’, the Deus Ex benchmark at 2,560 x 1,080 resolution brought back a marginally better average of 21 fps, with highs of 28 fps. This makes both components work harder – and the software makes turning this feature on safe and easy. To get better results, you can turn on GPU and CPU overclocking using the Acer Predator software. This will be disappointing for anyone who thinks by paying $9,000 for a laptop will allow them to play the latest games at ultra graphical settings, and with high resolutions with framerates to match. In that resolution, the frame rates in the Deus Ex benchmark on ultra drop to 18.9 frames per second – which will be unplayable for many people. Another thing to note is that, while we ran the benchmarks in 1,920 x 1,080 resolution – for a better comparison with other laptops – you’ll actually be running games in 2,560 x 1,080 resolution to take advantage of the Predator 21 X’s ultra-wide screen. While the Acer Predator 21 X comes with two GTX 1080 graphics cards in SLI, the Asus ROG Zephyrus GX501 ‘only’ comes with one. However, it’s important to note that while we say ‘closest competitor’, the Asus ROG Zephyrus GX501 costs $2,699 or AU$3,659 (about £2,105), which is still less than a third of the price of the Acer Predator 21 X. While it doesn’t hit that magical 60 frames per second (fps) on Ultra, it still blows its closest competitor, the Asus ROG Zephyrus GX501 out of the water, as it managed 18 fps in the same tests.
#ACER PREDATOR 21X PRIS 1080P#
At the standard 1080p resolution, it hit 38 frames per second for the incredibly taxing Deus Ex: Mankind Divided benchmark on Ultra settings. On the audio front, the laptop comes with SoundPound 4.2+ (4 speakers and 2 subwoofers), 3-way audio and Dolby Audio sound technology.So, how does the Acer Predator 21 X perform? As you’d expect (and can see from our benchmark results), the Predator 21 X performs extremely well.

Another unique feature of Acer Predator 21x is a removable side panel that instantly converts from a numberpad to a Precision trackpad. The device has five cooling fans, to keep it at normal temperature and sports a full-sized mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX switches with RGB backlighting under each key. Eye tracking also enhances the experience by providing infinite views whilst navigating treacherous paths and roads in a game.

The memory is equally powerful with 4 TB SSD and 64 GB DDR4 RAM.Īnother important feature is the Tobii eye-tracking technology, that is integrated into the laptop, which will let you play selected games more intuitively. The 21 inch curved screen features 2560x1080 pixels resolution and NVIDIA G-SYNC technology to ensure smooth and sharp gameplay. It weighs a huge 8 kg and is powered by the latest 7th generation Intel Core i7 processors and dual NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1080 GPUs in SLI for unmatched graphics performance.

Acer Predator 21x is a hard core core Gaming laptop and the first in the world to sport a curved display.
