Performance Review: ACER 5 Nitro (2021)

[Eros V2]

So I'm officially retiring Marvel Rivals on this Laptop with these specs, specifically due to the drastically performance downgrade each new patch and including some hotfixes. I don't know if it will get better over time but hence it's a Laptop vs a Desktop, so performances will vary between the specs.

My Nitro's Specs:
1: CPU - i5-10500H @2.50ghz
2: RAM- 2x16 3000mhz DDR4 Crucial RAM
- (2x8 GB PNY (Stock Ram, pre-installed) originally came with this Laptop)
3: GPU - 3050 Nvidia RTX 4gb
4: Storage - 512 gb M.2 (Couldn't remember the brand but it was Stock) + 1tb 870 Samsung SSD.
5: Built-in Monitor - 17.6in @144hz.
6: Wi-fi Card - 5e

Notes to consider before going into brief detail :
This Laptop was plugged in and docked on a Cooling Pad it also has a Ethernet connection vs running on Wi-FI and some of the stock parts were added and upgraded to boost performance for not just this game but others as well.
All Graphical and resolution settings were set to the lowest and off as possible with Nvidia Reflex on + Ultra Performance enabled while remaining in aspect ratio 16:9 on 1280x720.
Laptops specs are almost obsolete and been in use for about 4 years, it could be at its end time.

(Performance Test were done on upgraded/added hardware)
Performance on Launch and prior to S1 until I started to notice a drastic drop in FPS from light fighting to heavy fighting:
High FPS: 121 FPS
Low FPS: 69 FPS

I couldn't get screenshots but I remember playing this game at my work on our massive downtime on my Mobile Hotspot while battery was plugged in where I was playing this game at a tolerable competitive standard. I barely encountered frequent stuttering until S1 came out thats when I start to notice a dip in performance with my settings.
-
Performance for S1 and S1.5:
High FPS: 101 FPS
Low FPS: 56 FPS
-
Performance for S2 (Current):
High FPS: 98 FPS
Low FPS: 22 FPS

I get that this game is evolving, new heroes require more hardware firepower due to the ability effects + particles. But alas, it could be my laptop hardware slowly being cycled out or is simply just wearing out due to excessive use.

But for those that have weaker or similar Laptop specs or even the same Laptop (non-upgraded), feel free to share your experiences and maybe some advice that helped you sustain good frames during heavy fighting and if not minimal activity.
