Acer launches Nitro graphics cards with AI for gamers and creators

 

Acer has expanded its graphics card portfolio with the launch of the new Nitro Intel® Arc™ A and B series, alongside the Nitro Radeon™ RX 9070 XT OC models.

These cards are designed for gamers and creators looking to boost the performance of their DIY PCs, delivering more power, smoother content creation, and enhanced visual quality.

Innovation in Nitro.

The Nitro graphics cards feature an aluminum backplate and a reinforced design to withstand the demands of high-performance gaming.

They also come equipped with Acer Intelligence Space—an integrated AI system that detects hardware, recommends compatible applications, and provides seamless access to new gaming tools.

Additional features include Acer Game Assistance’s adaptive aiming system, offering competitive advantages, and Acer ProCam, which automatically recognizes and records gameplay highlights.

One standout is the Nitro Intel Arc B580 OC 12 GB, now also available in white. With clock speeds up to 2,740 MHz, this card is built for high-FPS 1440p gaming and supports displays up to 8K resolution.

Its Intel Xe2 microarchitecture, compatible with DirectX 12 Ultimate, includes ray tracing, mesh shading, variable rate shading, and sampler feedback—enhancing real-time lighting, shadows, and reflections.

It also integrates Intel XeSS Frame Generation to boost frame rates, and Intel Xe Low Latency to minimize the delay between input and display.

Intel Models for Creators.

The B580 OC’s compact design makes it ideal for DIY builds, while its FrostBlade cooling system reduces noise by 8% with textured blades and dual ball bearings.

As part of the Intel Arc lineup, this GPU includes a comprehensive toolkit to accelerate content creation and editing.

Its Xe Media Engine features a dual hardware transcoder for smooth video processing and broad format support.

The AI Playground app leverages XMX AI engines to enable advanced AI-powered creation, editing, and chat capabilities.

Meanwhile, the Acer Nitro Intel Arc A380 LP 6 GB offers clock speeds of up to 2,000 MHz. Its Xe microarchitecture supports technologies such as ray tracing, variable rate shading, and mesh shading.

Intel Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) enhances performance through AI-powered upscaling, delivering superior visuals without compromising image quality.

Targeted at gamers, streamers, and content creators, this card enables 8K HDR video editing, accelerates 3D rendering workloads, and supports AV1 video for efficient storage. It is cooled by a blower-style fan that effectively dissipates heat.

Performance and Reliability.

In the AMD segment, Acer introduced two new Radeon models: the Nitro Radeon RX 9060 XT OC with 16 GB and 8 GB configurations.

Both offer boost clocks up to 3,320 MHz and game clocks up to 2,780 MHz, leveraging AMD RDNA™ 4 compute units with AI and ray tracing accelerators for immersive 8K visuals and high-performance gaming and content creation.

These GPUs also feature AMD HYPR-RX for enhanced performance and reduced latency across thousands of titles, and AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 4 for improved frame rates through advanced image generation.

The AMD Radiance Engine enhances multimedia quality and live streaming.

Their cooling systems include dual axial fans for sustained performance during extended gaming sessions, operating quietly and withstanding high temperatures thanks to dual ball bearings and oil-based lubrication.

With these new graphics cards, Acer aims to meet a broad range of needs—from competitive gamers to creative professionals who demand reliable, high-performance hardware for their projects.
