Acer Refreshes Predator BiFrost and Acer Nitro Graphics Cards with New AMD Radeon RX 9000 Series GPUs

Acer today unveiled its latest Predator BiFrost and Acer Nitro graphics cards, powered by the next-generation AMD Radeon RX 9000 Series GPUs. This cutting-edge line-up includes six models designed to elevate gaming and creative experiences with next-level performance and visual fidelity. The models include the Predator BiFrost Radeon RX 9070 XT OC 16GB, Predator BiFrost Radeon RX 9070 OC 16GB, and four Nitro graphics cards: Acer Nitro Radeon RX 9070 XT OC 16GB, Acer Nitro Radeon RX 9070 OC 16GB, and standard versions of the Acer Nitro Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB and Acer Nitro Radeon RX 9070 16GB.

The new GPUs are engineered for ultra-fast gaming and demanding tasks, leveraging AMD RDNA 4 compute units and up to 16 GB of memory to deliver immersive 8K visuals. The advanced cooling technology, featuring three FrostBlade 4.0 fans, and reinforced designs ensures systems can be pushed to their limits while maintaining peak performance.

AMD Radeon RX 9000 Series GPUs
The latest Predator BiFrost and Acer Nitro Radeon RX 9070 Series graphics cards are powered by up to the new AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT GPUs, featuring unified AMD RDNA 4 architecture with powerful ray tracing capabilities, AI accelerators and up to 16 GB of memory. Gamers can enjoy the latest gaming displays and experience increased visual quality for video streaming and editing as these next-generation designs activate AMD HYPR-RX to instantly enable all supported performance-boosting and latency-reducing technologies across thousands of games. Expect deep immersion with higher quality and clarity thanks to AI-powered AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 image upscaling with advanced frame generation technologies, which boost framerates in supported games. Players can showcase their skills with enhanced multimedia and streaming experiences using the AMD Radiance Display Engine.

Predator BiFrost and Acer Nitro Radeon RX 9000 Series Graphics Cards
The Predator BiFrost Radeon RX 9070 XT OC 16GB graphics card boasts a boost clock of up to 3,100 MHz and game clock of up to 2,570 MHz, while the Predator BiFrost Radeon RX 9070 OC 16GB graphics card offers boost and game clock speeds of up to 2,700 MHz and up to 2,210 MHz respectively for ultra-smooth responsiveness.

The Acer Nitro Radeon Series provides gamers and creators the tools to enhance their digital experiences, featuring maximum boost clock speeds of up to 3,100 MHz and game clock speeds of up to 2,570 MHz for balanced performance and efficiency. All models come equipped with the latest advancements from AMD Radeon technology and 16 GB of GDDR6 RAM, pushing the graphics cards to their maximum processing prowess.

Advanced Cooling and Durability
These GPUs are equipped with Acer's advanced cooling systems, which provide added support in reaching peak performance. Featuring state-of-the-art cooling technology with triple FrostBlade 4.0 fans, counter-spin designs for smoother airflow, and oxygen-free thermal pipes, the Predator BiFrost and Acer Nitro Radeon graphics cards maintain optimal heat dispersion to keep temperatures in check. Supported by dual-ball bearing systems and lubricating oil, the fans are engineered to reduce noise, withstand elevated temperatures, and minimize friction on the fan bearings.

These graphics cards are also built for lasting durability and dominance, crafted with an aluminium backplate and a metal anti-bending design, ensuring they can withstand the rigors of continuous use. Heat-dissipating vents and a reinforced copper base efficiently absorb heat from the GPUs, which is expelled quickly through oxygen-free heat pipes.

Intelligent Features
Acer Intelligent Space serves as the central hub for the device's AI features, identifying system hardware, suggesting compatible AI applications to optimize performance, and helping players identify more gaming tools. Acer Game Assistance provides a competitive edge by automatically adjusting colors and offering a sniper mode for precise targeting in shooting games. Additionally, Acer ProCam automatically detects and records gameplay highlights to capture key moments in the game.

The multi-display capabilities allow users to connect to four displays, with each graphics card equipped with three DisplayPorts, one HDMI 2.1 port, and up to a PCIe 5.0 bus, providing a seamless and immersive experience across gaming, streaming, and creative applications.

One question about Acer's renders: where are the power connectors pointing to?

Three possibilities:
1. The render has a mistake in it.
2. The connectors are perpendicular to the board (so vertical pointed on a standard mount)
3. The card gets the power through a six-dimensional portal from the realm of Yog-Sothoth himself. Yog-Sothoth knows the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth.

Found a couple of additional renders, still no clue, but I guess it's meant to be those square blocks?

Another question now: why is there something sticking out above the backplate?

I mean, I know Acer is newer to the dGPU AIB game, but have their designers ever seen a card before? There are CAD libraries for components (again speaking about the power connectors), are there not?

It's only on that render though, not the one of the backplate, which makes it even stranger.
And yes, normally there are libraries for the components.

Acer can't be worse than MSI radeon cards. So a win - win solution.

I know it doesn't *really* matter, but good god are Acer and Asrock in some sort of betting match for who can make the busiest, ugliest card design of all time?

On the plus side these uggos should stick closer to MSRP, and resell for a lower price, since only the truly value conscious would consciously buy these cards.

The Predator BiFrost is listed for US$972 in Sweden, but that includes 25% VAT/sales tax. That's $3 more than the cheapest cards sold by the same etailer, which is the same group of cards as the Acer Nitro card.

Maybe it's me, but it somewhat reminds both RX 6950 Nitro+ and Nitro+ PURE... but with wrong oriented connectors.

4. It take the power directly from the warp.

Not only graphic cards... and not only on rendered images... sadly. Acer, much like any other megacorp, likes to "cut coreners" here and there.

I looked through Acer's website on the 9070 XT, last week. 'had the same issue trying to figure out where the power inputs were.
I see them as Receptacle Covers, now.

I'd prefer the Acer Predator Nitro or Bifrost OC cards over the Sapphire Nitro's 12pin, and they otherwise match the Red Devil's specs, but without the bad juju :p

I know these are just renders, but if this is the RX 9070 XT then these two SKUs are not oversized at all.

The only problem is the three PCI-E power connectors. Make it two and it would be worth it.
