Acer Nitro Gaming Laptops Spied With GeForce GTX 1660 Ti And GTX 1650 Turing Mobile GPUs

NVIDIA has rather quickly fully fleshed out its family of Turing-based graphics cards. The company started off with the high-end, ray tracing-enabled GeForce RTX 2070, RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti in Fall 2018, then hit up the mainstream market with the GeForce RTX 2060 at CES 2019. Over the past few months, the company has expanded at the lower-end of the spectrum with the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti and GTX 1660.

Now, NVIDIA is apparently ready to spread some GTX Turing lovin’ to gaming laptops with GeForce GTX 1660 Ti and GeForce GTX 1650 Mobility GPUs. This latest confirmation comes to us via VideoCardz, which managed to capture a slide presentation from Acer that details two upcoming Nitro gaming notebooks.

The 15.6-inch Nitro AN515-54 will be available with GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, GTX 1650 or the older Pascal-based GeForce GTX 1050. The 17.3-inch Nitro AN517-51 will only be available with the two GeForce GTX Turing GPU options.

The 15.6-inch laptop is available with either a 60Hz FHD display or a 144Hz FHD panel and the 17.3-inch laptop with the same panel options. We can also see that both notebooks will be available with 9th generation Coffee Lake Refresh H-Series Core processors, which Intel teased late last month.

This isn’t the first laptop that we’ve seen leaked that makes reference to GeForce GTX Turing Mobility processors. Last week, we saw leaked 3DMark references to ASUS ROG GU502DU and the ASUS TUF Gaming FX505DU gaming notebooks rocking the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti. In that instance, however, there were mentions of the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti both with and without Max-Q support.
