Acer Predator Orion 9000 Series Gaming PCs: Visible Power
The Predator Orion 9000 is built to delight its owners and terrify their competition. Black and silver exterior resembles a spaceship with customizable RGB lighting on each side of the front. A side panel with huge window reveals the equally impressive interior of the Predator Orion 9000. Despite the amount of space available, electromagnetic interference is kept to a minimum thanks to the clever design.
Optional RGB lighting fans keep your eyes glued to the front, putting on a real light show inside the chassis. Pair of carrying handles and carbon fiber textured wheels to easily carry or transport the Predator Orion 9000 from place to place. Tool-free chassis panels ensure hassle-free installation of new and replacement components, and fans can be installed or removed by just flicking open the top panel. Convenient cable management and headset stand on the front of the case to keep your desk neat and tidy.
Jeff Lee, manager of Acerâs desktop computer systems and IT products divisionâThe Predator Orion 9000 was the most powerful PC weâve ever built. With 4 graphics cards and an 18-core processor, nothing is impossible for gamers and graphics-intensive users.
Water cooling and IceTunnel 2 technology.0
To keep the PCs an iceberg amidst the raging sea of gaming, the Predator Orion 9000 features Acerâs water cooling system1 and IceTunnel 2 technology.0. IceTunnel 2.0 â advanced solution for controlling air flows in the case that divides the system unit into several separate zones, each of which has a duct for hot air extraction.
Large metal mesh panels on the front and top of the case let in more cool air and expel heated air from the CPUâs water cooling system. Meanwhile, up to five 120mm fans on the front, top and rear panels cool the components, channelling cool air through the case. Part of the airflow is routed to the drive bays and the graphics cards use exhaust fans to blow hot air out the back panel. Power supply is isolated from other components in the chassis to avoid thermal interaction.
Extreme-powerful platform for gaming and content creation
Acer was one of the first major hardware manufacturers to install the new AMD Radeon⢠RX Vega graphics card in a gaming PC, but the company wasnât enough. You can put four Radeon RX Vega graphics cards in the new case at once to achieve near photorealistic graphics and process them in real time, at high resolutions, with excellent refresh rates and even in stereo mode. And, dual NVIDIAÂŽ GeForceÂŽ GTX 1080Ti SLI graphics cards enable the Predator Orion 9000 to easily handle all manner of virtual reality applications.
Scott Herkelman, vice president and general manager in the gaming division of Radeon Technologies Group at AMD.âWeâre delighted that Acer chose AMD Radeon⢠RX Vega graphics cards for their most powerful PC. RX Vega matches the Predator Orion perfectly in both appearance and performance. Even one RX Vega graphics card is enough to power a system with smooth performance at high resolutions at 60 FPS. And with unique new features like High Bandwidth Cache Controller and Rapid Packed Math, gamers can rest assured their system can handle any new game, and even games not yet released, that can take advantage of these features
The Predator Orion 9000 will be powered by the latest IntelŽ Core⢠i9 Extreme Edition 18-core processors and up to 128GB of DDR4 memory in 4-channel mode, so it keeps up with demanding computational tasks and runs heavy applications and games that require high performance.
Anand Srivatsa, Manager Desktop Platform Group at IntelâThe new Intel Core X processors raise the bar for any computing experience with 18 cores and 36 threads. Their power and multi-tasking performance is astounding. And our partners at Acer are ready to unleash that power by powering an Intel Core i9 Extreme Edition processor in their new Predator Orion 9000 gaming PCs.
One-button overclocking gives adrenaline junkies and competitive gamers a chance to get the most out of their PC with a flick of the wrist. The connectivity options are also impressive: 2 USB 3 ports.1 Gen 2 one Type-C and one Type-A , 8 USB 3 ports.1 Gen 1 one Type-C and seven Type-A and two USB 2 ports.0 Type-A . The Predator Orion 9000 features three slots for M.Two PCIe x16 slots for more performance, and four PCIe x16 slots enough for any video card2.
Acer Predator X35: Incredible image quality
The Acer Predator X35 is a 35-inch monitor with a 21:9 aspect ratio, 1800mm screen radius, and support for WQHD 3440 x 1440 pixels resolution. It also features NVIDIA G-SYNC, Acer HDR Ultra and quantum dot technology to deliver the highest image quality, contrast and range of brightness.
Advanced local dimming with 512 individually controllable zones to illuminate only the areas of the screen where you really need it. The Predator X35âs color gamut encompasses 90% of the DCI-P3 gamut for a richer, more vibrant picture, and several times the brightness margin of standard monitors without HDR. With a response time of 4ms, refresh rate of 200Hz and NVIDIA G-SYNC support, it eliminates image tearing and other artifacts, making all movement on the screen as natural and smooth as possible.
The monitor incorporates Predator GameView, with eight display modes that let you fine-tune your viewing experience. In addition to âStandardâ, âECO Modeâ as well as âGraphicsâ and âMoviesâ modes, this novelty has modes designed for games: âShootersâ, âRacingâ and âSports. All are easy to access via hot keys or the on-screen menu. Gamers can customize each mode using their own profile.
Acer BlueLightShield⢠technology enables users to reduce harmful blue spectrum radiation with four filtering modes that can also be found on the OSD. The high-quality VA panel provides a wide horizontal and vertical viewing angles of 178 degrees, and Dark Boost technology helps to consider even the smallest details in poorly lit areas of the image.
Predator accessories make gaming comfortable
The Predator Galea 500 gaming headset lets you immerse yourself in the game and literally hear where and what youâre playing. Acer TrueHarmony⢠3D Soundscape technology transforms gaming audio into a virtual three-dimensional space, changing the sound as the user turns their head while wearing the headset. So your brain feels like the sounds are constantly coming from fixed points in space, not just the headphones.
The diaphragm in the headphones is made of bio-cellulose with a rubber edge, so high frequencies in the Predator Galea 500 will always be clear and ringing, low â powerful and rumbling, and the vocal parts and frequencies in the middle range will be played with maximum precision and accuracy. In addition, a unique cavity in the headphone design helps to boost bass and add drive to energetic music rhythms. The user can also customize the sound on the headset by selecting one of the equalizer modes: Music, Movies, or Sports.
The new Predator Cestus 500 gaming mouse features unique dual switches, allowing gamers to customize the mouseâs button resistance to the gaming genre or specific game. For example, in first-person shooters it can be lowered because reaction speed and dexterity are important there, but when choosing your troops and giving out orders in RTS, itâs better to increase your resistance to achieve maximum accuracy. Additional features include RGB backlight with 16.8 million colors and shades, 8 backlight modes, 5 memories for storing profiles, 8 programmable buttons and a gold-plated USB connector.
Is the Acer Predator 35-inch HDR monitor compatible with other gaming setups, or is it specifically designed for use with the Predator gaming lineup?
How does the HDR technology enhance the gaming experience on Acerâs new 35-inch monitor? And what specific cooling features does the powerful PC offer to ensure optimal performance during intense gaming sessions?
HDR technology enhances the gaming experience on Acerâs new 35-inch monitor by providing a wider range of contrast and brighter colors, resulting in more realistic and vibrant visuals. This makes the gaming world come alive, with improved details and depth. Additionally, HDR technology reduces input lag and motion blur, ensuring smoother gameplay.
To ensure optimal performance during intense gaming sessions, Acerâs powerful PC incorporates specific cooling features. These features may include advanced cooling systems such as liquid cooling or multiple fans, designed to dissipate excess heat and maintain lower temperatures. This prevents overheating and throttling, allowing the PCâs components, including the CPU and GPU, to perform at their maximum potential consistently. Consequently, gamers can enjoy extended gaming sessions without worrying about performance degradation due to excessive heat.
