Our Verdict
HP Victus 16 (2024)
Acer Nitro V 16 (2024)
The HP Victus 16 (2024) and the Acer Nitro V 16 (2024) are both 16-inch budget gaming laptops available with the same AMD Ryzen 8040-series CPUs; however, the HP has more GPU options, including a more powerful NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU, making it a better choice for 1440p gaming. The HP also has a QHD display option with a higher refresh rate of 240Hz, which will give you better input responsiveness and smoother motion, but unlike the Acer, its displays lack VRR support, so if you're particularly sensitive to screen tearing, the Acer is a better choice. In terms of the overall user experience, the HP comes out ahead as well; it has a more comfortable keyboard, a more responsive touchpad, a wider port selection, and a higher-quality webcam.
