hi, fellow acer v nitro owner, before i buy this laptop, i want to ask whether you can update nvidia gpu driver from the nvidia website? because i wll be playing mostly latest game after i buy it.
*
there is an nvidia geforce experience app installed, it will notify you with the latest drivers, one click and it will auto install the latest nvidia drivers. the app is also useful as it can optimise the game settings for you automatically

hi, i just got my v nitro rm3499 model.
i have a question, when i play game that using the gtx860m, i noticed that the core clock only clock in at 540mhz. i though the core clock should be 1019?
why is that?

i'm using msi afterburner to monitored.
*
you bought for 3499? didnt know the price increased. if your not sure dont tinker with stuff in afterburner, as long as fps in game is high should be no issue, clock speed is low to maintain low temp and low power draw

The temperature just like you guys mentioned, will reach to 90 if i do not turn off turbo boost.

sorry, i think the clock speed should be fine if you check at graphic properties, how come the price increase now wan?

the issue is gone already, seems to be from nvidia servers, today there is suppose to be a new driver, but nvidia pulled the update

Yup, the fan is quiet since its rarely kicks in like other people said.

No what I mean is when shutting down the fan will make a sound?

hey guys, just a word of advise, dont install the updates to the geforce drivers from the nvidia geforce experience app, coz my pc had some weird issues, but not frequently, maybe twice in a month the pc will auto reboot while sleeping, and i managed to find out the cause which is the gpu drivers. if you did update the drivers, just go to acer website and install the old one back
