It also averaged 85 fps in Total War: Warhammer II, again at 1080p and maximum graphics settings.Ĭontrol, the most demanding game in our test suite, pushed the laptop to its limits. The Nvidia RTX 3060 cranked out an average of 94 fps in Shadow of the Tomb Raider at a 1080p resolution and maximum graphics settings. The RTX 3060’s highest possible graphics power is 115 watts, so the Helios 300 is close to the RTX 3060’s performance ceiling.

Our test configuration came with Nvidia’s RTX 3060 dedicated graphics packing 6GB of GDDR6 VRAM and up to 105 watts of power. It exceeded 60 frames per second in most games we tested and, in many cases, it beat that standard by a mile. The Acer Predator Helios 300 we tested proved a good bet for 1080p gaming. What we like Game performance is solid for the price Acer also sells this laptop with configurations that include faster graphics hardware, such as the Nvidia RTX 3070, and a higher display resolution. This combination has promise for both gamers and content creators. The Helios 300’s key features are obvious: it has an eight-core processor from Intel’s latest 11th-gen Core product line and an Nvidia RTX 3060 graphics solution that can handle ray tracing.

I do not have the funds to actually buy the laptop off Amazon, but if you do or have purchased the laptop off Amazon, try flashing the stock firmware image, and if that doesn’t work then pursue the alternative method. Then you would open the dumped binary data in UEFITool, and make the modifications using UEFITool against the full, dumped image. You would need to first back up your UEFI image by attaching a flash programmer to the SPI NOR chip and dumping its contents. Note that this is an inherently risky approach and you should back up your BIOS image before attempting to make this modification and flash.


Then you would need to reflash the SPI NOR with a flash programmer. The difference is in the 5th byte ( 0x2 in the first line) to a value that is not 0x2 in the second line ( 0x1 in the second line).Īnd so on for questions 0x2 and 0x4 if modifying QuestionId 0x5 did not work, since it appears the QuestionIds are OR‘d. I think it would likewise be possible to “undo” the graying out by changing the expected values in the firmware image for each of the three QuestionIds (0x2, 0x4, 0x5). It would be interesting to see though if updating the BIOS of a unit sold through Amazon with the BIOS image available from ACER and see if that enables those options. The question becomes is this configuration option set by default in the stock firmware available online? My guess is that it is not, but discovering this through reverse engineering is difficult. It does indeed appear as though there is a configuration option that grays out the Secure Boot settings. There are two UEFI firmware files embedded in the executable:Ġx123503 QuestionId: 0x5 equals value 0x2 P7zip Version 16.02 (locale=C.UTF-8,Utf16=on,HugeFiles=on,64 bits,8 CPUs Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2660 v2 2.20GHz (306E4),ASM,AES-NI)īiosImageProc圆4.dll FH53M圆4.fd FlsHook.exe GH53M圆4.fd H2OFFT.cat H2OFFT64.sys mfc90u.dll msvcr90.dllĭing.wav FWUpdLcl.exe GH53M202.exe H2OFFT-W圆4.exe H2OFFT.inf bios.7z msvcp90.dll platform.ini
