<p>A step up from the Acer Nitro V16S AI, the Acer Nitro V16 AI RTX 5070 gaming laptop is also marked down for Black Friday. This packs a heavier punch in terms of game performance, as it's equipped with a GPU that is more suited to play games at a 1440p display resolution – and in this case, the display resolution is 1920x1200, so there is more room for higher frame rates.

No matter which gaming laptop you choose out of the two, you're going to have a great time in a plethora of games – and yes, I'm aware that 8GB of VRAM feels like a push too short for more demanding modern games, but having tested a laptop equipped with an 8GB GPU, I can assure you that it'll get the job done when using DLSS 4.

You'll have more luck with the RTX 5070 model to push graphics settings up slightly higher, but the same applies to its counterpart when using DLSS 4 super resolution's balanced or performance modes.
