Two's Company, Three's A Bash
- nVidia® SLI®
Acer's Aspire Predator offers two-way and three-way enabled nVidia® SLI®. Push gaming visuals over the top by combining the power of two or three independent nVidia® GPUs via SLI® technology. Up to 1.5 GB of dedicated GDDR3 VRAM and three of the most advanced GPUs running simultaneously give you the latest in high-performance graphics.
- SLI® Technology
Get up to 2X the performance of a single graphics card solution with 2-way SLI®. By scaling nVidia® GPUs and MCPs, nVidia® SLI® technology can deliver more than twice the performance of a single graphics solution. With support for three nVidia® GeForce® 9800 GTX on an nVidia® nForce® 780i, you get up to 2.7X performance from your Aspire Predator.

A Completely Cool System
- What is liquid cooling?
Liquid cooling offers significant performance advantages to traditional, fan-based cooling methods. Using a constant flow of water and rear-mounted heatsink, liquid cooling ensures your CPU runs cool even under the most demanding conditions. Additionally, the design requires only one large, slower-moving fan for the entire case, which greatly reduces system noise.
The Acer Aspire Predator features a two-part liquid cooling design for completely cool system performance. The rear-mounted heat sink connects to a pump located on the CPU, while copper pipes use natural entropy to cool the MOSFET, North Bridge, South Bridge and PCIe Expander. A quiet-running case fan tops off this system so you can confidently push the limits of gaming and entertainment.

The choice of professional gamers, Creative's Sound Blaster X-Fi is an official product of the Championship Gaming Series. Trusted high-fidelity sound; you can hear the bullets fly past your head, tremble with every explosion and feel the eerie silence before the storm.
- Dolby® Home Theater®

Reliable Online Gaming
- DualLAN Technology
DualLAN Technology is the fastest and most stable internet connection available for a PC. Offering two Ethernet ports on a single chip, this technology allows for fast, teaming linkage and stable, fail-over configurations. The service is ideal for demanding gamers who need their computer to not only play games, but to serve as a server when hosting LAN parties with friends.
- Teaming
Teaming allows the two connections to work together to provide up to 1.89X the Ethernet bandwidth of today's leading Gigabit connections.
Utilizing Dual-Gigabit Ethernet on the Aspire Predator is the best way to ensure your online game experience is fast and smooth. Additionally, this teamed Gigabit Ethernet solution makes the Aspire Predator an ideal machine for hosting LAN matches.
- Fail-over
We know you hate it when your connection gets cut or your little brother pulls out the Ethernet cable just when you have victim-to-be number 25 in your sights! Fail-over technology uses two Ethernet connections to ensure if one connection, for whatever reason, gets cut, the other will back it up for a stable connection. Originally developed for high-end corporate servers, this technology ensures the Aspire Predator brings you the smoothest online game experience.

Superior Storage and Expansion
- Expansive storage
The Aspire Predator features a wealth of ports, slots and jacks so you never have to even think about where to plug-in your various devices. Nine USB ports, six audio jacks with 7.1-channel and SPDIF support, a 14-in-1 card reader, two external eSATA ports and a front-mounted Acer EasySwap HDD cage, provide tremendous room for storage and expansion.
- Acer EasySwap HD
The Acer EasySwap HDD cage makes switching hard-drives easy for great expansion and simple exchange. Mounted behind an illuminated door, EasySwap allows up to four 3.25" hard drives to be simultaneously used. Easy to switch, you can save movies, games, music and more on multiple HDDs, and switch them in a snap. Want to save ten movies on an HDD, and then take it to your friend's house to enjoy? No problem!
The Aspire Predator also becomes RAID capable when multiple HDDs are installed. With RAID enabled Acer EasySwap becomes hot-swappable; hard-drives can taken-out and plugged-in without even having to restart the machine.
- eSATA
Standardized in mid-2004, External SATA (eSATA) is a premier technology for connecting hard drive devices to your computer. eSATA offers transfer speeds almost twice those of USB 2.0 or FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394a), as well as S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology), and supports RAID configurations. With two rear-mounted eSATA ports, the Aspire Predator ensures you will never one out of space for games, movies, music and more.

To the Upper Limits and Beyond
- Overclocking
Intel® Core™2 Extreme, two-way/three-way nVidia® SLI®, 8 GB of DDR2 RAM, could the Aspire Predator get any faster? Well, yes.
Acer's Aspire Predator offers minimum risk overclocking capabilities, so you can fiddle, tweak, and push it to the limits of performance. Utilizing a handy Acer UI, this machine allows the enthusiast to tune the Intel® Core™ 2 Extreme processor, nVidia® SLI® graphics cards and RAM for mind-blowing performance.
nVidia® nTune™ technology offers easy overclocking, and underclocking management for your system. nTune automatically detects the application running and dynamically optimizes the PC settings. Faster than tuning by hand, nTune delivers optimal settings for bus speeds, HyperTransport, memory timings, CPU registers, fans, and voltages in a safe, easy-to-use Microsoft® Windows® interface.
The Aspire Predator was designed to be pressed, and comes with a CMOS hard reset on the rear of the computer. Using this hard-reset you can restore your CMOS settings to the factory defaults in the event that tweaking with the settings causes the computer to shutdown.
