StealthGamer SG recently evaluated three budget gaming laptops to determine which model offers the best gaming experience in real world use. The test pits the Lenovo LOQ 83FQ0009IN against the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-57 and the Acer Aspire 7 A715-79G to see which system performs best under typical play conditions.
The Lenovo LOQ 83FQ0009IN uses an Intel i5-12450HX paired with an Intel Arc A530M graphics card with 4 GB of video memory. The Acer Nitro 5 AN515-57 pairs an Intel i5-11400H with Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 4 GB. The Acer Aspire 7 A715-79G runs an Intel i5-13420H and an RTX 2050 with 6 GB of video memory.
The test covers a mix of action and open world titles to illustrate how each machine handles modern engines on scaled back graphics settings.
In God of War Ragnarok, run at low graphics with DLSS Quality and frame rendering enabled, the GTX 1650 posted 62 fps, the RTX 2050 delivered 74 fps, and the ARC A530M achieved 69 fps.
In Horizon Forbidden West, with very low graphics settings and DLSS Quality, the GTX 1650 posted 38 fps, the RTX 2050 39 fps, and the ARC A530M 33 fps.
In Red Dead Redemption II, using the high preset, the GTX 1650 averaged 40 fps, the RTX 2050 44 fps, and the ARC A530M 44 fps.
In Hogwarts Legacy, the GTX 1650 managed 44 fps, the RTX 2050 47 fps, and the ARC A530M 41 fps.
Across The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the GTX 1650 delivered 53 fps, the RTX 2050 52 fps, and the ARC A530M 40 fps.
GTA V ran at 77 fps on GTX 1650, and 98 fps on both RTX 2050 and ARC A530M at medium-high settings.
In Alan Wake II, with a low preset, GTX 1650 achieved 22 fps, RTX 2050 21 fps, ARC A530M 23 fps.
Ghost of Tsushima, at very low settings, averaged 46 fps across all three laptops.
Overall, the ARC A530M matched its rivals in several titles, but the RTX 2050 was the clear leader in most cases, delivering around 9 percent higher average FPS overall.
A note about S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 mentions a shooter that was discussed as a PC and Xbox release later in the year.
The test emphasizes how these midrange GPUs perform in portable systems, offering practical guidance for buyers who want playable frame rates in modern titles without breaking the bank.
