The GeForce RTX 4070 in this machine performs worse compared to the RTX 4060 in the Acer Nitro 17 (AN17-51) if we don’t count the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla results and Borderlands 3 on Badass quality. The other scores are lower or close to the RTX 4060 FPS. This is a good indication of CPU bottleneck because all looks good on the GPU side – around 2500MHz during gaming alongside ~120W TGP.
