Acer has unveiled an expansion of its graphics card lineup with the introduction of new Acer Nitro Intel Arc A and B Series models alongside high-performance Acer Nitro Radeon RX 9060 XT OC graphics cards. Designed specifically for gamers and creators building custom PCs, these new offerings deliver exceptional gameplay performance, seamless content creation capabilities, and stunning visual fidelity to help enthusiasts maximize their systems.

The new Nitro graphics cards combine durability and smart features in their design. All models feature sturdy aluminum backplates and rigid construction to withstand intensive use. They incorporate Acer Intelligence Space, an AI-powered hub that automatically detects system hardware, recommends optimization tools, and suggests compatible applications. For gamers, Acer Game Assistance provides competitive advantages through adaptive aim technology, while Acer ProCam automatically captures and saves gameplay highlights.

The product lineup includes two Intel Arc-based models. The Acer Nitro Intel Arc B580 OC 12GB, now available in both white and black variants, boasts clock speeds up to 2,740 MHz and supports high-FPS 1440p gaming up to 8K resolution. Its Intel Xe2 architecture with DirectX 12 Ultimate enables advanced features like ray tracing, mesh shaders, and variable rate shading. The card also incorporates Intel XeSS Frame Generation for higher framerates and Xe Low Latency technology to reduce input lag. Cooling is handled by the efficient FrostBlade system which operates 8% quieter than conventional plastic fans.

For compact builds, the Acer Nitro Intel Arc A380 LP 6GB offers a game clock up to 2,000 MHz in a low-profile design. It features the same Xe-core architecture with AI acceleration capabilities, supporting demanding workloads including 8K HDR video processing and AV1 encoding. The blower-style cooling system ensures effective thermal management in smaller cases.

The AMD-powered options include two Acer Nitro Radeon RX 9060 XT OC models launching in June – a 16GB version and an 8GB variant. Both deliver boost clocks up to 3,320 MHz and game clocks up to 2,780 MHz using AMD’s RDNA 4 architecture with dedicated ray tracing and AI accelerators. These cards support 8K gaming and content creation, featuring AMD HYPR-RX for reduced latency and FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 for enhanced image quality and framerates. The dual axial fan cooling system maintains optimal temperatures during intensive sessions.

Pricing starts at $329 for the Acer Nitro Intel Arc B580 OC 12GB, currently available in EMEA markets. The Acer Nitro Radeon RX 9060 XT OC 16GB will debut at $649.99, with the 8GB model priced at $599.99, both arriving in June 2025.

Reporting from Taipei, Taiwan: AMD has officially revealed its latest midrange GPU, the Radeon RX 9060 XT, at COMPUTEX 2025, setting up a direct showdown with Nvidia’s RTX 5060 Ti. Built on 4nm RDNA 4 architecture, the new card brings notable upgrades, including 32 compute units, 64 AI accelerators, and 32 ray-tracing cores, positioning it as a strong competitor in the mainstream gaming market.

The RX 9060 XT will be available in 8GB and 16GB GDDR6 configurations, though Nvidia’s RTX 5060 Ti retains an edge in memory bandwidth thanks to its 28 Gb/s GDDR7 (delivering 448 GB/s vs. AMD’s ~322 GB/s on a 128-bit bus). Real-world performance comparisons will be crucial to determine how much this gap impacts gaming.

AMD has set the boost clock at up to 3.13 GHz, with an impressive 821 TOPS for AI workloads—a key focus in modern gaming and content creation. Power efficiency looks promising, with a TDP between 150W and 182W, while connectivity includes PCIe 5.0 x16, DisplayPort 2.1a, and HDMI 2.1b. Early indications suggest the RX 9060 XT will excel at 1080p gaming and handle 1440p smoothly, but 4K enthusiasts may still prefer the RX 9070 or 9070 XT for higher settings.

AMD has yet to announce pricing or a firm release date, leaving room for speculation on whether it can undercut Nvidia’s offering. With both GPUs shaping up to be closely matched, the final battle may come down to cost, driver optimization, and feature sets.
