Acer has gaming equipment in its catalog for a wide range of gamers. From professionals or heavy users looking for the latest technology to casual players who want a team to play a game from time to time. Today we want to talk about a model specially designed for the former. This is the Acer Predator Orion 9000, a true gaming beast that in 2020 has been updated to achieve even greater performance. Let's take a look at its features.
Extreme performance for the most demanding players
If you want to dedicate yourself professionally to gaming or you just like to be up to date and have the most powerful equipment, you should take a look at the new Predator Orion 9000. Acer has updated its most powerful desktop computer to achieve even more extreme performance, updating the equipment hardware and including a new advanced cooling system.
The Acer Predator Orion 9000 comes equipped with up to Intel Core i9-10980XE Extreme Edition processors . We can also buy it with an Intel Core i9-10940X X-Series or with an Intel Core i9-9900X X-series.
Accompanying these powerful processors we have several memory configurations. We start from 8 GB DDR4 at 2933 MHz in a single channel, until we reach no less than 128 GB DDR4 in a four channel configuration . In addition, the included memory supports XMP so that we can upload it up to 3600 MHz easily and quickly.
To be able to play at the highest level we need a graphics system that is up to par and the Predator Orion 9000 does not disappoint. The team can house up to a dual NVIDIA Geforce RTX 2080 Ti graphics card in SLI mode . Other options are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER.
And when it comes to storage, the team offers multiple combinations. It accommodates three 3.5-inch HDDs and two 2.5-inch SSDs with an interchangeable USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C port for SSD / HDD drives.
The Acer Predator Orion 9000 needs a ventilation system that is capable of controlling the temperature generated by all these high-end components. Therefore it is equipped with three 4.7-inch Predator FrostBlade fans that offer up to 16% more airflow and a 55% increase in static pressure compared to previous generations. It also features a liquid-cooled CPU fan to keep the processor cool even when we've been gaming for hours.
Finally, the equipment has some essential features in a gaming computer. It is equipped with Intel WiFi 6 and Killer E3100G for fast and reliable wired and wireless connectivity.
It also has a one-piece EMI-compliant glass side panel, which allows you to observe the ARGB illumination of the internal fans. The chassis includes a headphone rest, handles and wheels.
Price and availability
In short, it is clear that we are facing a team that is not for all audiences. Only the most demanding gamers or professional content creators can need such powerful hardware. It has the latest and most powerful processors from Intel and the best RTX graphics from NVIDIA.
That said, we are talking about a team that is not exactly economical. The Acer Predator Orion 9000 will be available in Spain in October of this year, with a price that will start from 2,800 euros in its most basic configuration. Of course, this will be powerful enough for most users.
