Acer Predator Orion 9000 arrives without AMD RX Vega graphics

Acer also wants to make an appearance at CES 2018 in an impressive way and has finally presented the Acer Predator Orion 9000, yes, without AMD RX Vega graphics cards, due to the consumption of these.

The first monster of CES 2018 arrives, in this case developed by Acer, which is called the Acer Predator Orion 9000 and we can say that it is the most powerful pre-assembled computer that has been manufactured and that initially it should have arrived last month of November 2017, but that has been delayed. There are no notable variations with respect to the official announcement, the only difference is that it can be configured with up to two NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti and finally it will not be possible to configure up to four AMD RX Vega as promised, for two reasons, these graphics are expensive and there is no power supply that supports these watt sponges, so it will only be found with NVIDIA graphics.

Acer Predator Orion 9000 is a mass that can take the Intel Core i9 7980XE as the top of the range, which as we know has 18 physical cores and 36 processing threads, working at a base frequency of 2.6GHz and a Boost mode of 4.2GHz and that it will be accompanied with up to 128GB of DDR4 RAM in Quad Channel configuration. For the graphical aspect, up to two NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti can be configured in SLI configuration, to move any game or for professional tasks, such as photo or video editing or rendering in 3D. The storage also depends on the model, but we can in its most powerful variations by configurations M.2 NVMe SSD with HDD for mass storage.

Although it is sold as a gaming computer, it goes beyond traditional gaming and, among other things, implements a button to automatically overclock, for those who do not have great knowledge about it. It has a complete customizable RGB LED lighting system on the sides of the front, where the air intakes are. The processor is cooled by a Cooler Master RL. Regarding connectivity, it has two USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports (Type-A and Type-C), eight USB 3.1 Gen1 ports (seven Type-A and one Type-C and two USB 2.0 ports.

Initially the Predator Orion 9000, should have a base price of € 1.999, although it is possible that this has been modified or the base configuration has been modified, especially because since the price of graphics cards was announced until now, memory RAM and SSD has gone up quite a bit.
