Best Settings For Performance And Gaming On Acer Nitro 5

[@blues5611]

I tried alot of the things in this video, at first it didnt work on rainbow six siege, then i took a look at task manager and my cpu had like 80% usage and my gpu was incredibly low so i turned my graphics up to around high and it boosted my fps from 40 to 100 these tips prolly also had a play on things though.

[@TheSateef]

i expected you to talk about BIOS tweaks to get more power to the CPU. also more Hz (refresh rate) doesn't mean more quality, probably less actually since the GPU is working harder on screen updates

[@beanfrog]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video! I’ve just followed all steps and hoping to see a difference. I’m also sticking some more ram in this afternoon. Only question I have is when I click on NVIDIA control panel I don’t have an option to change screen settings? Only option is 3D settings? Great video though… have subbed!

[@AshBuilt]

Thank you. More ram will definitely help. They should be in there you may need to update the nividia drivers

Hi, my question is not about gaming, but about video making with the Davinci Resolve program. I have a Nitro 5 with a Nvidia Geforce GTX graphics card. In order to use the Davinci program, you need a good graphics card. So I can't understand why the program doesn't work with the Nitro 5. It works with a computer that has a Intel Iris Xe graphics card but not my Nitro 5. Just want to know how do I get the Davinci Resolve program to work with Nitro 5?

[@CorleoneStatus]

Ash your videos have been really helpful & you seem to know your stuff I have a couple questions for you because I’m seeing different answers online about what to do.. I just recently purchased a Acer Nitro 5 AN517-52 This is the specs: 17.3 inch 1080p 120hz Intel Core i7 10750H 8GB Ram 2600 Mhz 256GB SSD Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 (Processor Generation Intel Core 10th Gen) Hexa-Core I’ve never gamed or owned a Windows laptop before but I’ve done a lot of Googling & reading & I’ve watched a lot of KZbin videos to see how to use it at its best & set it up I kept hearing/seeing about adding Ram like a 2x8gb kit or a 2x16gb kit I want to go with a 2x16gb kit like you have but online tho I’m seeing & reading different questions/answers & information Some people say the Acer Nitro 5 needs 2666 mhz & some people say it can handle 3200 mhz So.. Question 1. What works & what do you advice? (Personally I was thinking the 3200 mhz) Question 2. Does Ram brand matter? I’ve seen Kingston, Corsair, Vengeance something, Ballistic something, & plain looking The laptop comes with Windows 10 so I did the start up etc Then I used the device manage to check to see if drivers for the Intel & RTX 3060 had any updates there was none So I downloaded a game (RS) & when I loaded it up it said your graphics drivers are x amount of days old & it gave me a update button in game When I clicked the button it took me to the Nvidia website so I put in my specs GeForce 30 series RTX 3060 etc bla bla bla It said there was an update for the driver & an app called Geforce experience so I downloaded both It then showed on the GeForce experience app that my RTX 3060 driver was up to date I then went back to the game (RS) the old graphics driver message was gone but I remembered seeing or reading online about updating Intels too So I went to Intels website & looked for updates I downloaded the Intel driver assistant it said that there was updates for my Intel driver so I did the updates But on one of the Intel updates it showed a warning sign ⚠️ & said: Intel Graphics DCH Drivers: Installing this graphics driver from Intel may remove customisations from your computer manufacturer (OEM) If you have a 6th Generation Intel processor or higher, your computer manufacturer’s customisations will remain intact after upgrading to this graphics driver So I did the update thinking it’s the best thing to do but I did a lot more reading online & I noticed a lot of people was saying on different posts & forums that you shouldn’t update your Intel drivers On certain websites they recommend you do & on others websites (like people asking questions or having issues a lot of people commenting said you shouldn’t update your Intel driver because it messes with graphics & performance because instead of the dedicated graphics card getting used while gaming instead the Intel gets used etc So now I don’t know whether I should factory reset the laptop as I’ve only just set it up so it doesn’t matter to me to do that I just want the best graphics & performance & I think the RTX 3060 will outperform the Intel 7 So I’m just not sure what to do to be honest like I said I’m reading & seeing different information it’s kind of confusing Questions 3. What do you think? What do you do? I’ve also got a tech friend who said don’t go to the websites & manually update the drivers Windows 10 will do all that for you when it does updates He also said don’t upgrade to Windows 11 as its more buggy So Questions 4. Do you update your Intel Drivers manually or not? Does it matter? Does it affect performance? Question 5. Does it stop your dedicated graphics card in my case the RTX 3060 from being used more? & Questions 6. I’ve read/seen online a lot about getting updates from the Acer website like chipset & this & that etc basically download & install it all? Can you tell me what’s best to do? I’m totally new to Laptops & Windows.. I’ve never gamed on one before I mostly would play Xbox then & again which is easy & simple to use The only PC game I’ve played is RS & I’ve played that very rarely over the years on my MacBook Pro So please Ash answer these questions I think there’s loads of people out there who purchase a Acer Nitro 5 or Gaming Laptop or PC & have no clue on setting it up etc It doesn’t help that there’s so many mixed signals from information online either I hope to hear from you soon Thank you & Take care

[@AshBuilt]

Question 1 go on task manager and look at performance you will see what ram mhz you have there I’d go with 2x16 gb brand doesn’t matter too much but your Samsung and the other well known brands are best to stick with

Set up throttle stop as well. This didn't help either. It sucks because I feel like I can't use it for games cause The performance isn't as good as I thought.
