the ACE and nitro 5 is a popular budget
gaming laptop for a fair price but how
well does it perform in different games
I've been chucked 10 different games at
all setting levels to show you how well
it runs and hope you decide if it's
worth it just quickly before we jump
into the benchmark results Oh cover off
the specs in this laptop I've got that
AMD configuration so it's got a risin 5
2500 quad-core CPU and Radeon rx 5 60 X
graphics it's got a 16 gig stick of
memory running a ddr4 2666 in single
channel although upgrading to dual
channel should help improve performance
other than that I was running Windows 10
with these drivers so let's find out how
well the ACE and nitro 5 performs
Fortnite was tested with the replay
feature ended epic in high settings the
performance wasn't great I would
definitely suggest playing at medium
settings or lower as this is able to get
us around the 60 FPS mark but more
importantly there was less stuttering as
illustrated by the 1% lows overwatch was
tested playing in the practice range it
still felt playable for the most part at
epic settings but the overall experience
was better at Ultra settings or lower I
didn't notice any issues with ultra
settings which was able to average above
60 FPS while still looking great pub G
was tested using the replay feature and
is an example of what we start to see
with more resource intensive or less
optimised games
it was playable for the most part at
very low settings I wouldn't want to go
any higher than that personally C s
Goyer was tested using the elliptical
benchmark and the results were a bit
lower than I expected
still high enough for a first-person
shooter game and definitely playable but
I'd probably look for something with
high aspects if you want to go for her
Rainbow six siege was tested with the
built-in benchmark and I found this test
to generally run very well on old
laptops so even on this hardware were
still seeing fairly good results no real
difference between ultra and very high
settings and over 100 FPS average with a
low presa dota 2 was tested using a
fairly intensive replay so this should
be a worst case scenario these results
are not the same
is actually playing the game in this
test the frame rates aren't excellent
that even with these numbers I think you
can still play the game with that issue
battlefield one was played during the
first campaign mission and I was playing
with no problems at all at medium older
settings if in high an ultra will find
most of the time but I think for this
type of game you'd probably want to try
and stick to a 60 FPS average or above
watchdogs 2 is a demanding game and I
always say that this doesn't need a high
frame rate to play which was the case
here I found high settings or below to
run perfectly fine so it seems as long
as you're getting 30 FPS it should run
alright this just goes to show it really
depends on the game Doom was tested
using Vulcan and adult setting levels
that played fairly smoothly though there
was some choppiness at times which seems
to be illustrated by the one percent low
results being under 30 fps
though this was nowhere near as low with
low settings which did play noticeably
better The Witcher 3 played alright at
medium and low settings but it was
noticeably slower at high OH
all true settings so still playable but
you'll just need to stick to the lowest
setting levels I haven't been able to
test some of my usual games like Ghost
Recon as a wouldn't load shadow of the
Tomb Raider was crashing on start and
Far Cry 5 and Assassin's Creed Odyssey
didn't recognize the rx 5 6 DX and
instead we're using the Vega 8 graphics
on the CPU so barely reaching 10 FPS on
minimum settings a bit strange when you
consider there AMD supported titles you
could probably put in some workarounds
and fix these issues but I still think
it's worth noting that these are more
issues than I've ever had while testing
the same games on an Intel and NVIDIA
combination
I did try manually changing the games
using Vega graphics to the 560 ex but it
made no difference the results are a
fair bit lower than most of the other
laptops I've tested but the price point
of it is also a fair bit lower than most
others - so we need to readjust our
expectations in the games tested it's
still definitely able to offer a
playable experience you just need to
stick to medium all those settings for
the most part especially if you're
planning on playing triple-a games
this is the first AMD laptop I've tested
but it does seem like you might be
better off
the Intel and NVIDIA configuration
instead I haven't tested it but for
around the same price you get the i5
8300 H which seems to be the 2500 you in
Cinebench by a fair bit and it's got a
gtx 1050 ti2 which also seems to beat
the RX 5 6 DX so how do you guys think
the AMD version of the Aysen nitro 5
gaming laptop did in these games as we
saw it can run them quite well at medium
settings of allure not too bad when you
consider the price which you can check
using the link in the description you
might be getting seriously high frame
rates but for light gaming or less
demanding games it's a capable machine
