IUAD picks the power of Predator Gaming for future game designers

IUAD – Institute of Universal Art and Design, based in Naples and Milan, is one of Italy’s leading institutions for creative and digital education. The institute offers innovative programs, such as the Bachelor’s degree in Game Design, designed to develop practical skills and prepare students for the professional world. 

To ensure a comprehensive and engaging learning experience, IUAD aims to equip its labs with cutting-edge technological tools that support intensive, creative, and highly specialized activities.

Game Design: a learning challenge to be tackled with the right devices

For Game Design classes, the institute needed devices that combined high performance, reliability, and ease of use. Thanks to the collaboration between Acer and its partner Infodidattica – led by Guarino Guastaferro and Pasquale Auricchio – a comprehensive and cutting-edge solution was implemented.

It was essential that students could use professional software without difficulty and focus on their projects without slowdowns or technical interruptions. At the same time, the workstations needed to be equipped with monitors suitable for long and demanding sessions, offering high graphical precision and visual comfort.

Predator Orion 5000: high and consistent performance

The solution chosen for the Game Design lab includes Predator Orion 5000 desktops, equipped with Intel^® Core™ Ultra 7 Processors, 64 GB DDR5 RAM, NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 5070 12GB GDDR7 graphics cards, 1024 GB PCIe SSDs, 2048 GB NVMe drives, and Windows 11 Pro for Advanced PC.

Accompanying the desktops – the 27-inch Acer monitors with TFT displays, 3840×2160 resolution, and HDMI and DisplayPort interfaces deliver superior visual quality and optimal comfort, even during long work sessions.

This powerful and stable setup ensures consistent performance, allowing students to follow lessons without slowdowns or interruptions, and enabling teachers to focus on teaching without worrying about technical issues.

“Thanks to the Predator Orion 5000 devices, our students can fully concentrate on their creative work without worrying about technical problems. The smooth performance and reliability have significantly improved the quality of our lessons” — a spokesperson for IUAD, Naples Campus

The result is a lab fully capable of supporting educational activities, enabling students to focus entirely on creativity and project development.

Predator: concrete Support for Students and Teachers

The adoption of Predator desktops and monitors provides tangible benefits for both students and teachers. Indeed, the integration of the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 Processors delivers a significant performance boost thanks to a cutting-edge hybrid architecture optimized to handle complex and simultaneous workloads.

These processors enable smooth execution of all typical Game Design activities: running advanced graphics engines such as Unreal Engine and Unity, managing complex simulations and animations, and using AI-based tools for texture generation, model optimization, and visual enhancement. Simultaneously, running multiple applications in parallel remains stable and responsive, ensuring a seamless workflow during lessons, exercises, and group projects.

This way, students can use professional software without slowdowns, while the robustness of the devices minimizes the risk of interruptions or downtime. At the same time, the high-resolution monitors and TFT displays provide visual comfort even during intensive sessions. 

Teachers, on the other hand, can deliver smooth, interactive lessons, monitoring and guiding students in real time without worrying about disruptions or malfunctions, thereby providing a more engaging and productive educational experience.

A Cutting-Edge Game Design Lab

Thanks to the Predator Orion 5000 desktops with Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 Processors and 27-inch monitors, IUAD has created a technologically advanced Game Design lab. There, students can fully express their creative potential without limitations.

This choice reflects Acer’s commitment to delivering high-performance, reliable solutions that support tomorrow’s digital and creative learning. The result is a balanced, powerful, and comfortable learning environment, ideal for guiding both students and teachers in their academic and professional growth.
