The Acer Aspire T Review: A Comparative Analysis of Gaming Performance

In this review, we will be comparing three gaming computers: the Intel Core i5 2400, the Acer Aspire T, and the EVGA GeForce GTX 1060. The goal of this comparison is to determine which computer provides the best gaming performance at a reasonable price point.

The Intel Core i5 2400 is a relatively old CPU, with a clock speed of 3.1 GHz. While it may not be the most powerful processor available today, it still offers excellent performance for its age. The Acer Aspire T, on the other hand, is a more modern computer, with the same 3.1 GHz clock speed as the Intel Core i5 2400. However, it also has a more efficient cooling system and improved airflow, which allows it to run cooler even at high temperatures.

In terms of RAM usage, the Acer Aspire T uses 4.5 GB of memory, while the Intel Core i5 2400 uses 8 GB. It is unclear why the older computer requires so much more memory, but further testing may be necessary to determine the cause of this discrepancy. Despite this, both computers are able to run smoothly with 4.5 GB of RAM.

One notable difference between these three computers is their prices. The Intel Core i5 2400 can be purchased for under $150, while the Acer Aspire T and EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 are significantly more expensive, at $400 and $250 respectively. This makes the Intel Core i5 2400 an attractive option for those on a budget.

To test these computers' gaming performance, we ran several benchmarking tests, including Overwatch at 1080p Ultra detail. The results of these tests were as follows:

Overwatch 1080p Ultra detail: 85 FPS (Acer Aspire T), 83 FPS (Intel Core i5 2400), 91 FPS (EVGA GeForce GTX 1060)

As we can see, the EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 provides a significant boost in gaming performance, with an average frame rate of 89 FPS. However, the Intel Core i5 2400 and Acer Aspire T are still able to provide smooth gameplay at high frame rates.

It's worth noting that the differences between these computers' frame rates may be more pronounced than they appear in this brief test run. In reality, frame rates can vary significantly depending on the specific game being played, as well as factors such as screen resolution and graphics settings.

In conclusion, the Intel Core i5 2400 is a budget-friendly option for those looking for a reliable gaming computer. While it may not be the most powerful processor available today, its affordable price point makes it an attractive choice. The Acer Aspire T provides slightly better gaming performance than the Intel Core i5 2400, but at a significantly higher cost.

The EVGA GeForce GTX 1060, on the other hand, offers the best gaming performance of the three computers. However, its high price point may be out of reach for many budget-conscious buyers.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello and welcome to Tech deals Intel i5 CPU performance comparison today we are testing three different I5 CPUs from three different Generations the I5 2400 sandybridge processor the I5 4440 Haswell processor and the i56400 Skylake processor all three CPUs are running at 3.1 GHz each machine also has the same graph card and the same amount of system RAM installed in each machine is evga's GeForce GTX 1050ti Super Clock graphics card a wonderful graphics card that I have previously reviewed Link in the video description below to that review if you would like to see it each of the machines has 16 gigs of RAM the only difference is clock speed because each platform runs on a different speed of ram the I5 2400 has 16 gigs of DDR3 1333 MHz Ram the I5 4440 is running 16 gigs of DDR 3600 MHz RAM and the i56400 is running 16 GB of ddr4 2133 MHz Ram otherwise the machines are exactly the same each is running off a solid state drive and each as I said is clocked at 3.1 GHz we are playing today at 1080p full HD resolution tion Ultra detail preset is used anti-al lising is on and vsync is turned off fraps was used for the minimum maximum and average performance numbers you will see at the end of this video but it was not used to record the video that you're watching instead an external hd60 Pro Hardware capture card was used recorded on another computer there is zero performance loss for the fact that our recorded this game play the computer doesn't even know it was being recorded the numbers in green at the top top left corner of the screen are from MSI After Burner a free program that you can download from msi.com to get real time information on what your computer your CPU your RAM your graphics card Etc are doing in real time I have done a video on how to set that up link in the video description below to go check that out now I recorded over 1 hour of gameplay here between the three different cards don't worry I'm not going to show you all hour and 15 minutes that I recorded because frankly it would get boring at some point the entire point point is to show you representative samples of the gameplay from each of the three different runs on the three different machines we are currently watching the I5 2400 based machine take a look at the MSI After Burner numbers at the top left corner of the screen the top line is the GTX 1050ti itself and the percentage indicates that we're using all of the compute performance of the card the 99% simply means that the graphics card is 100% utilized the temperature of the the card of the actual chip itself is a very reasonable 63° C and it is running at just over 1700 MHz side note the EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 TI superclocked card does not come set to this clock speed from the factory but I have not manually overclocked it it actually comes with a boost speed of, 1468 MHz however the new 10 series from Nvidia includes GPU boost it will Auto overclock if temperature and power delivery are available and run at a higher clock speed than it shipped to give you more performance so the 1700 plus MHz that the card is running at is not something that I said in MSI After Burner or adjusted in anyway the card did that all on its own now this card comes with 4 GB of vram you can see that we're using about 1400 megab of it which is less than half do you need a 4 GB graphics card to play OverWatch no not at all not at 1080p any of the 2 GB cards will do just a fine job the i52400 line the third line shows our CPU usage take a look at the percentage of our CPU we are in fact using most of it 82% 81% now the way the CPU usage works is we have four processing cores and four threads because the I5 is a true quad core processor this is an important point when the CPU usage is at 50% then we are fully utilizing two of our cores when it's at 75% we're using three of our cores and when it's 100% we are completely occupying all four of our cores a dual core processor that has hyperthreading such as an I3 will display the same types of percentages because it also has four threads even though it actually only has two cores when it's at 50% its two cores are fully utilized why do I bring this up will OverWatch play on an I3 yes will it play better on an i5 yes I will at some point do a comparison of I3 I5 i7 with games like OverWatch and GTA 5 in the future but I want to point out that even OverWatch which is not a heavily demanding game really does use a quad core processor to its full potential it is my opinion that in 2017 if you really want to play games and you want to play something Beyond League of Legends or Counter-Strike Global Offensive quad core processors are the new minimum i3 work dual cores with hyperthreading work but but what works and what you really should have are two different things considering that these I5 2400 based computers are under $150 on eBay in my mind there's really no excuse not to have a quad core processor for gaming if by chance a brand new machine with a quad core is simply out of the budget I would buy one of these I5 2400 machines for under $150 I would drop in a graphics card and and that's what I would use to play games on rather than building or buying a dual core machine that is new because I think the quad core makes the difference even though this particular computer is over 5 years old take a look at the temperature of our CPU 64° C we're using there's 96 99% of our CPU the temperature of the CPU is very reasonable please note this is a basic Dell mini tower Optiplex 790 pre-built computer there is no fancy cooling I've not changed anything in any way from the way Dell shipped this computer more than 5 years ago and the CPU is running very cool that is nice there is no need for fancy cooling on these machines it works very well take a look at our system RAM usage we are using 7.6 7.7 GB of system Ram now we have 16 GB installed so this is not an issue the game has all the room it needs and then anything over that for Windows or disc cash uh fits into the rest of the ram just fine having said that will OverWatch play in 8 gigs of RAM yes it will will it be as smooth mostly there will be a few more stutters and a little bit lower minimum frame rate it's not the sort of game that's going to struggle because it's not an open world game there's not that much oh that's going to hurt hey and I survived and I didn't in 2017 I recommend 16 GB of RAM if you can't 8 GB of RAM still works but minimum frame rates and overall smoothness in many games do start to suffer with only 8 GB of RAM installed it's also worth noting this is a test machine there's nothing else running on this machine this is not a personal computer there's no personal files loaded it has a relatively fresh copy of Windows 10 installed the only things running on this machine are MSI afterburner fraps is recording the frame rate in the background and the game nothing else now remember the video was being recorded on a different machine so the recorded video is not affecting the machine in any way because the capture card is installed in a completely separate computer I strongly encourage you if at all possible to upgrade to 16 GB of RAM I genuinely believe that 16 GB on an older machine is often smoother than 8 GB on a new machine note I didn't say faster I said smoother there's a difference there's average frame rates and then there's minimum frame rates and that's a topic I'll be covering in an upcoming series of videos where I do things like different amounts of ram to show overall levels of smoothness and minimum frame rates speaking of frame rates take a look at the bottom line of MSI afterburner our real time frame rate 73 71 77 80 wow 84 83 we are playing on a five almost 6 yearold computer basic pre-built with a basic $150 graphics card and we are at Ultra detail at 1080P and we are touching 100 frames per second that's incredible the whole point of this video is that you simply do not need a brand new high-end expensive $1,000 computer to play games this is gorgeous take a look at how pretty the graphics are this game plays beautifully now I am going to show you brief Snippets of the I5 4440 and the i56400 but suffice it to say if we're getting 100 Fram per second on the I5 2400 you already know what the outcome's going to be it plays just fine on these older machines the only question is does it play any faster on the newer machines let's go take a look and so here we are on the I5 4440 again 1080p Ultra detail same graphics card nothing else has changed just quickly here to show you the graphics detail settings 100% render resolution everything's the same marching forward let's get into the B ble our GTX 1050ti is again running at 99% we're using all of the Power of our graphics card it's running at 71° C basically the same as before it might be slightly warmer in this run but keep in mind it's installed in a physically different machine this is not a d this is an Acer it's an Acer Aspire pre-built machine slightly different case different airflow different cooling so the temperatures that you'll get on your CPU and graphics card will vary depending upon the machines that you have your gear installed in clock speed however is basically the same just over 1700 MHz why because this graphics card will comfortably run up to 83° C that's the temperature cut off limit Beyond 83° it will start throttling itself in order to prevent it from getting any hotter one of the uses of MSI After Burner Beyond benchmarking is things like this if your computer is not performing as you expect if you feel like you're getting dropped frames or your minimum frame rate is very low or it's very stuttery running this can let you know are your temperatures okay is your clock speed stable watch the GPU clock speed we are very stable above 1700 MHz if you are running after burner and you're playing OverWatch and you see it dipping down to 12 1300 jumping up to 1500 going up to 17 going back down to 13 and you see the temperature at 80 to 82° C you have a thermal problem your case doesn't have enough air flow or there's a problem with the fan on your GPU either way something's wrong and that's one way to diagnose your machine to see why are you not getting the performance that you expect take a look at our vram now on this particular machine I didn't have them reordered this is the default order MSI After Burner comes in my apologies the clock speed of the ram is first so look at the second item the 1454 1458 megab so we're still using about the same um about 1 1/2 GB of vram the display order is simply in MSI afterburner setup thing because these are in fact different machines I have to set it up on each machine and you just have to drag and reorder them and I didn't so that's the only minor thing they'll be back in the in the order I prefer in the next video now I5 4440 that's our CPU we are again using about three of the four cores now we're into the fourth one 81% 77 depending on how what's going on on the screen how much action how many explosions is where that's at temperature 60° totally within normal limits again pre-built machine simple basic cooler nothing is fancy whatsoever main system Ram this is interesting main system Ram is at 4.5 GB the previous machine was at 7 something why the discrepancy well different map different game different scenario both of these computers have 16 gigs of RAM both machines have a relatively clean relatively fresh install of Windows 10 on them both are test machines I don't use either of these computers personally they are strictly for benchmarking and testing that being said 3 GB of main system RAM usage difference between the machines is fairly large why that's a good question I might have to investigate that further to be completely honest right this moment as I'm recording this video I cannot tell you why the difference is I don't change or alter the numbers I record them I Benchmark them I show them to you whatever they may be that being said performance does not appear to be affected however I will look into this in more detail when I do the 8 GB versus 16 gigs main system Ram test at some point in the future I may even try four or six just to try different combinations I will look into the main system RAM memory usage in more detail when I do those videos and figure out why it seems to vary from run to run computer to computer and map to map all right that's enough of the I5 4440 let's take a look at the i56400 again GTX 1050ti again 16 GB of main system Ram again alra detail as you can see here 100% render resolution I've tried very hard to make all the settings the same now I realized the maps are not the same however in my experience OverWatch performance does not appear to vary very much depending on which map they've got these Maps very well balanced they all appear to play about the same in terms of performance and responsiveness they don't seem to make much difference again first line of MSI After Burner 99% GPU usage 67 degrees C temperature the clock speed again is over 1700 megahertz looking at our 4 GB of vram we are at just under 1.4 GB they're in the correct order this time cuz this is on the Acer Aspire T pre-built computer that I have reviewed on my channel before $400 dropping a video card you've got yourself a great gaming machine if you do not want to buy a used machine if you want something new if you want the newer technology of Skylight then here you you go great performance take a look at the CPU usage 79 86% it's basically the same as it was on the other machines we are in fact using three to four cores without any issue take a look at the temperature of the CPU 50° C this is by far the coolest running of the three CPUs please note this is the newest technology this is a 14 nanom production process chip the 4440 is a 22 nanm and the 2400 is a 32 NM smaller generally not always but generally runs cooler because all three of these machines are running at 3.1 GHz that means that the newer one is going to run cooler now it's still a different case different uh cooling system different airflow environment that being said this Acer fire T runs very very cool at about 50° C look at our main system RAM usage 16 gigs of RAM we're using well look at that we're using 4 and 1/2 G gab of it that's very similar to The 4400 so why was the I5 2400 using 8 gigs of RAM I may actually go back and retest that and if I do it I'll post in the comment section below what happened with that I may go back and put that card it's not in it at the moment I'll go put that card back in that machine and test it because I'm genuinely curious as to why it was using so much again I will leave a comment in the description below once I do that and let you know what the result was in either case it appears to be running just fine on 4 and 1/2 GB of RAM go figure as I said before I test it I run it I record it I show it to you I don't aim for a result one thing I don't do when I'm benchmarking is I don't try to get a specific result I just run it and it is I also don't run these 15 times looking for the perfect run or try to tell a story I just take it for what it is because it would be way too easy to run this over and over looking for the perfect result or looking for a result that tells a story that I want to tell instead I run it and I take the results as they are rather than trying to play around with it to get something specific why do I even need to say that uh I wish I could say that never happens but I'm sure it does somewhere but I don't I just so I'm showing you the results as I got them discrepancies and all now take a look at our real time frame rate look at that we're at 90 plus frames per second now of course the frame rate at any given moment is going to vary depending upon what's happening I just died I was zooming back to the battle here we have explosions it's dropped down a bit however I do record enough of it overall between these three runs there was well not quite an hour of total recording I'm not showing all of it to you of course that would make the video entirely too long but the idea is that the averages work themselves out over time yes there are high peaks and low Peaks but if you record enough footage eventually you'll get to the average either way all right that's enough testing you get the idea let's go take a look at the results and here we are at the results OverWatch 1080p Ultra detail 85 83 and 91 frames per second uh respectively between the 2400 4440 and 6400 it's a little faster on the 6400 not much the differences are very minor the minimum frame rates are a little bit higher but again it's different Maps different test runs Etc I could probably run this five more times and each of these numbers would change by 3 to five frames per second just based upon the variability of doing an online multiplayer game such as OverWatch that's why the I5 2400 may appear to be 3 frames per second faster here but it isn't really that is statistically the same 83 to 85 in terms of an average they're basically the same performance is the 6400 slightly faster yeah it might be it might be fiveish frame frames per second faster the Run actually makes it look like it's 8 frames per second faster but then you would expect a newer machine to be slightly faster however consider that the I5 2400 can be purchased for under $150 and the i56400 is $400 there you go there's a

the three different cards don't worry I'm not going to show you all hour and 15 minutes that I recorded because frankly it would get boring at some point the entire point point is to show you representative samples of the gameplay from each of the three different runs on the three different machines we are currently watching the I5 2400 based machine take a look at the MSI After Burner numbers at the top left corner of the screen the top line is the GTX 1050ti itself and the percentage indicates that we're using all of the compute performance of the card the 99% simply means that

said performance does not appear to be affected however I will look into this in more detail when I do the 8 GB versus 16 gigs main system Ram test at some point in the future I may even try four or six just to try different combinations I will look into the main system RAM memory usage in more detail when I do those videos and figure out why it seems to vary from run to run computer to computer and map to map all right that's enough of the I5 4440 let's take a look at the i56400 again GTX 1050ti again 16 GB of main system Ram again alra detail as you can see here 100% render resolution I've tried very hard to make all the settings the same now I realized the maps are not the same however in my experience OverWatch performance does not appear to vary very much depending on which map they've got these Maps very well balanced they all appear to play about the same in terms of performance and responsiveness they don't seem to make much difference again first line of MSI After Burner 99% GPU usage 67 degrees C temperature the clock speed again is over 1700 megahertz looking at our 4 GB of vram we are at just under 1.4 GB they're in the correct order this time cuz this is on the Acer Aspire T pre-built computer that I have reviewed on my channel before $400 dropping a video card you've got yourself a great gaming machine if you do not want to buy a used machine if you want something new if you want the newer technology of Skylight then here you you go great performance take a look at the CPU usage 79 86% it's basically the same as it was on the other machines we are in fact using three to four cores without any issue take a look at the temperature of the CPU 50° C this is by far the coolest running of the three CPUs please note this is the newest technology this is a 14 nanom production process chip the 4440 is a 22 nanm and the 2400 is a 32 NM smaller generally not always but generally runs cooler because all three of these machines are running at 3.1 GHz that means that the newer one is going to run cooler now it's still a different case different uh cooling system different airflow environment that being said this Acer fire T runs very very cool at about 50° C look at our main system RAM usage 16 gigs of RAM we're using well look at that we're using 4 and 1/2 G gab of it that's very similar to The 4400 so why was the I5 2400 using 8 gigs of RAM I may actually go back and retest that and if I do it I'll post in the comment section below what happened with that I may go back and put that card it's not in it at the moment I'll go put that card back in that machine and test it because I'm genuinely curious as to why it was using so much again I will leave a comment in the description below once I do that and let you know what the result was in either case it appears to be running just fine on 4 and 1/2 GB of RAM go figure as I said before I test it I run it I record it I show it to you I don't aim for a result one thing I don't do when I'm benchmarking is I don't try to get a specific result I just run it and it is I also don't run these 15 times looking for the perfect run or try to tell a story I just take it for what it is because it would be way too easy to run this over and over looking for the perfect result or looking for a result that tells a story that I want to tell instead I run it and I take the results as they are rather than trying to play around with it to get something specific why do I even need to say that uh I wish I could say that never happens but I'm sure it does somewhere but I don't I just so I'm showing you the results as I got them discrepancies and all now take a look at our real time frame rate look at that we're at 90 plus frames per second now of course the frame rate at any given moment is going to vary depending upon what's happening I just died I was zooming back to the battle here we have explosions it's dropped down a bit however I do record enough of it overall between these three runs there was well not quite an hour of total recording I'm not showing all of it to you of course that would make the video entirely too long but the idea is that the averages work themselves out over time yes there are high peaks and low Peaks but if you record enough footage eventually you'll get to the average either way all right that's enough testing you get the idea let's go take a look at the results and here we are at the results OverWatch 1080p Ultra detail 85 83 and 91 frames per second uh respectively between the 2400 4440 and 6400 it's a little faster on the 6400 not much the differences are very minor the minimum frame rates are a little bit higher but again it's different Maps different test runs Etc I could probably run this five more times and each of these numbers would change by 3 to five frames per second just based upon the variability of doing an online multiplayer game such as OverWatch that's why the I5 2400 may appear to be 3 frames per second faster here but it isn't really that is statistically the same 83 to 85 in terms of an average they're basically the same performance is the 6400 slightly faster yeah it might be it might be fiveish frame frames per second faster the Run actually makes it look like it's 8 frames per second faster but then you would expect a newer machine to be slightly faster however consider that the I5 2400 can be purchased for under $150 and the i56400 is $400 there you go there's a result like this video if you like it share it with your friends if you loved it remember to subscribe to my channel using the
