Acer Predator G3100: an affordable AMD-powered PC
Acer continues the renewal of the family Predator with desktop players for completing the recent G3600 variant with an AMD platform.
The new "Acer G3100 Predator" actually comes with an AMD Phenom II X6 1035T, that has six cores that are clocked from 2.6 to 3.1 GHz and backed by a total of 9 MB of cache.
The AMD chipset motherboard 880g on which it is plugged is also included to 4GB of DDR3 RAM with a Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 equipped with 1GB of dedicated memory. If we could expect an AMD GPU (although available on other configurations), it is surprising in any case the choice of a previous generation GPU is since replaced. Acer would make it the bottom of the barrel for prizes?
We also found a hard drive to 1TB, a DVD multi-format memory card reader, a whopping 14 USB 2.0 ports, but no USB 3.0.

To provide affordable machine to play with a nvidia card, it would have been necessary to propose a GTX 550. For the same price, the GTX 460 is much better. The choice seems to me entirely sensible, however. For a gamer (one pure and hard), shall never be turned to this type of machine which is locked and clamped.
