Ah! Finally, the part that the majority of the people have been waiting for however we would like to mention that you should press Fn+f as this will put your laptop in performance mode thus providing you with the best performance.

So as mentioned above this laptop has an RTX 2050 4GB VRAM GDDR6 GPU and an i5 12th-gen processor so, understandably, it’ll handle the demanding games at medium or high settings pretty decently.

In demanding games such as RDR 2, and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, this laptop provides between 30-40 FPS on high and Medium settings at FHD resolution which is pretty decent if you’re a casual gamer as it will provide you with a console-like experience. We advise you to lock your frames to 30 or 40 for a much smoother experience.

In a few of the AAA titles such as Valorant, Counter-Strike, and Fortnite where graphics don’t matter that much, you can expect a considerably high amount of FPS ideally 100+ but unfortunately, you’d have to use an external monitor to enjoy a high refresh rate experience as the Acer Aspire 5 Display is just 60Hz.

Overall the gaming performance of this laptop is pretty decent and not really up to the mark as some of the demanding games these days should be played at a constant frame rate for an enjoyable experience, so after conducting experiments with this product we believe that this laptop is great for casual gaming and not for intensive gaming sessions.
