Acer Predator Helios 3D 15 SpatialLabs Edition (PH3D15-71) review – it’s a powerhouse but the stereoscopic 3D effect isn’t perfect
Performance: CPU, GPU, Gaming Tests
All benchmarks and tests were conducted with the “Turbo” preset activated in the Predator Sense app. Also, the “NVIDIA GPU only” option is turned on and the “High Performance” mode is applied in the Control Panel – Power Options.
CPU options
There is just one CPU variant and that’s the Intel Core i9-13900HX. Since the CPU has 24 cores, it’s hard to ask for more.
Results are from our Photoshop benchmark test (the lower the score, the better)
GPU options
The situation is the same in the GPU department – the 175W GeForce RTX 4080 is the only variant. In short, you’re “stuck” with high-end hardware.
Results are from the 3DMark: Time Spy (Graphics) benchmark (higher the score, the better)
Results are from the 3DMark: Fire Strike (Graphics) benchmark (higher the score, the better)
Results are from the 3DMark: Wild Life benchmark (higher the score, the better)
Results are from the Unigine Superposition benchmark (higher the score, the better)

The gaming performance is excellent because the mobile GeForce RTX 4080 can take full advantage of its 175W TGP thanks to the good cooling.
