Our Verdict

ASUS TUF Gaming A16 Advantage Edition (2023)

Acer Nitro V 16 (2024)

The Acer Nitro V 16 (2024) and the ASUS TUF Gaming A16 Advantage Edition (2023) are both great 16-inch budget gaming laptops. These laptops offer a very similar user experience. The ASUS is better built and offers a higher refresh rate QHD+ display option than the Acer, but the Acer's display gets much brighter, and the laptop stays much cooler while gaming. The main differences come down to the hardware. While the ASUS features all AMD hardware, the Acer uses newer AMD 8040-series CPUs and NVIDIA GPUs. You can get similar levels of performance on either laptop, but NVIDIA's gaming features like DLSS, Frame Generation, and Reflex offer better visual fidelity and performance than AMD's FSR, Frame Generation, and Anti-Lag.
