Acer announced new additions across its growing Predator line of gaming products at the annual next@acer global press conference†in†New York. The new Predator Orion 5000 desktop PC powered by Windows 10 is a mid-tower targeting hardcore gamers,†with Intel’s latest Z390 chipset, 9th†Gen Intel†Core†i9-9900K†processor,†and features an NVIDIA†GeForce†RTX†2080 GPU. In addition, Acer has launched a massive 43-inch Predator monitor,†alongside new additions to its series of Predator gadgets.

“The Predator Orion 5000 series is designed for gamers who prefer to max out their settings in and potentially dive into streaming with little-to-no impact on performance,” said†Jeff Lee, General Manager, Stationary Computing, IT Product Business, Acer Inc. “With the latest gaming technologies like a GeForce RTX GPU and overclockable 9th†Gen Intel Core i9-9900K†Processor, the new Orion 5000 packs enough power to satisfy even the most demanding gamers.”

“It’s great to see Acer bring such a wide portfolio of gaming devices designed to meet the needs of so many different types of gamers with their new Predator and Nitro series offerings,” said†Mark Linton, General Manager, Consumer and Device Sales, Microsoft Corp. “Acer continues to innovate and bring great gaming experiences to market for consumers.”

Acer’s New Predator Orion 5000: Ideal for High-performance Gamers

The new Predator Orion 5000†(PO5-605S)†adopts the†overclockable†octa-core 9th†Gen Intel†Core†i9-9900K†(with Z390 chipset) with support for dual-channel DDR4 configurations (up to 64GB) to deliver premium gaming†experiences. For superior graphics performance, the revolutionary NVIDIA Turing†architecture on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 GPU combines real-time ray tracing, artificial intelligence, and programmable shading to immerse players in a visually-stunning gaming experience. With the extreme processor the Orion 5000 has under the hood, a Cooler Master†CPU Liquid Cooler†regulates temperature to maximize peak performance.†Strategically-placed intake and exhaust fans†as well as†a shrouded†power supply unit†outfitted with its very own removable dust filter†ensure†each internal component of the Orion tower stays cool during extended gaming sessions.

The tower’s chassis has been trimmed down to just 30†liters so users can choose a powerful machine with a reduced†footprint, while the†see-through side panel includes a layer of metal mesh which, along with the rest of the case, gives EMI shielding to inner components.†Users can maintain superiority over the competition with 2.5Gbps Ethernet, and†when victory is assured, they†can hang the headset†on either of the chassis’ two headset cradles.

The Easy-Swap expansion bay supports 2.5†inch†form factor SATA I/II/III SSD†and HDD drives, providing†file transfer speeds†of†up to 6Gbps, for quick and easy†moving†or switching of†data without tools or rebooting. It’s†ideal for gamers who want to swap data, move systems,†or travel with their 2.5†inch†SSD quickly.†

Revved Up RGB

Users can choose an RGB lighting†pattern that fits their†style,†or one that suits†the†game of choice. Light bars and case fans tucked away†within the hardened shell support†16.7 million colors. With Lighting Maker, customers can fine-tune lighting and let it†dance with†the music being played.†

Acer’s†Predator†43-inch†LFGD†Gaming Monitor: The Ultimate Orion 5000 Companion

Acer revealed its Predator LFGD (Large format gaming display) monitor (CG437K P) measuring an astounding 43-inches. Designed for hardcore PC and console gaming enthusiasts looking for ultra-high definition (3840 x 2160), the†4Kmonitor features a fast 144Hz refresh rate for incredibly smooth and tear-free imagery, essential for tracking objects as they zip across the screen.†The monitor’s†AdaptiveSync feature adapts to the frame†rate of the outputting device, resulting in uninterrupted gameplay so users can concentrate on the task at hand. The VA†display panel features a wide color gamut of 90†percent of the DCI-P3 color space for vibrant colors that pop out and deeper blacks. For enhanced color vibrancy, VESA-Certified†DisplayHDR†1000 certification ensures better contrast and color accuracy, allowing customers to experience AAA games as they are meant to be.†It’s not just for hardcore PC gamers. Console gamers will appreciate its†three HDMI ports, plus a Type-C,†and a DisplayPort.

The Predator CG437K P features power-saving technologies, such as a light sensor†that†can detect the light level in the room and automatically adjusts†brightness†for comfortable†viewing, and a proximity sensor,†so†as†viewers move to the front of the monitor†it will automatically wake up from standby†mode, or revert to†sleep mode†when there is no movement in the room. It also includes a remote control, making it†convenient for†living room use.
