The huge, 17-inch Predator Helios 300 doesn't approach stealthily; instead, it seeks to dominate the gaming community with performance power. We put the powerful gaming laptop to the test.
Optional, manual setting options are always a plus because they let expert players maximize all of the opportunities while newbies don't have to. Acer even provides two presets for steps of overclocking the processor in the Predator Helios, in contrast to the Schenker models that are exceptional in this regard.
The Turbo mode maximizes overclocking potential while the Extreme option raises the TDP of the CPU to a continuous 120 watts. The latter is enabled by a unique key, making it incredibly simple for the user to activate or deactivate by pressing a button in accordance with their demands, even while playing the game.
In The Witcher 3, the RTX 3070 Ti also strikes a powerful figure with its guaranteed 150 watts of power, especially the CPU multi-thread performance, which is already quite good in Extreme mode. On the other hand, you must naturally also be prepared for the typical drawbacks in the overclocking modes. You can find out precisely what they are by reading our comprehensive review of the Acer Predator Helios 300 PH17.
