    What is your exact model number for example AN515-42
    I think I have guessed it though because 19.12.2  is an AMD GPU Driver. You are using the old Adrenalin Control Center, they have just released the 2020 version with new Drivers so follow my instructions below and please click YES if I have answered your question.

    The new AMD Adrenalin 2020 Control Center is designed to give support for your hardware and contains Mobile Driver support for this exact model, the Graphics Drivers on the Acer site are only base drivers. If you haven't already downloaded and installed it then click this link to download it.

    https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-19-12-3

    Most of the problems I have encountered answering questions similar to yours are that users do not have the GPU set up correctly in the Control Center and are gaming on their Dedicated Vega 8 GPU which gives poor performance and is not designed for gaming. I have your exact model and my gaming experience using the AMD 2020 Control Center is good, Follow these instructions

    First make sure you game with your battery charged to 100% BEFORE gaming and KEEP plugged into the main AC power while gaming. Make sure "High Performance when on AC", is selected in your Windows Power Plan and in Nitrosense. If you fail to do this your CPU will run at around 50% of capacity and you will experience poor game performance

    Open the New AMD 2020 Control Center and click the GAMING tab then click the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner and select ADD A GAME, navigate to your games .exe file and double click it to add it, or you can select SCAN FOR GAMES and let the Control Center search your harddrive for games to add. After successfully adding the game click on the game and you will be taken to another window and click the LAUNCH GAME tab.
    Only in this way will your games use the Discrete Rx560x GPU, NEVER launch your game through a desktop shortcut or any other way, do it in the manner I have described.

    Please remember that online gaming may experience low fps and stutter due to the games servers and bottlenecking and that has nothing to do with your GPU.

    Then install latest update https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-19-12-3
    Also make sure you are doing ALL of the above especially only launching your game from inside the Gaming Tab in the Control Center NOT a Desktop shortcut

    Yes it does sup[port Rx560x I have them both and it runs fine. Uninstall your current Adrenalin using DDU for a clean uninstall

    That is a standard industry disclaimer because they aren't designed specifically for Acer or any other manufacturer so if you take that to it's logical conclusion the Release is only for individuals building there own rigs and we know that is not the case. The fact is most everybody with the AMD models, including me, use the new Control center with no problems. I suspect you had a corrupted install. It is recommended to do a clean uninstall for the old drivers before a new update. I have given you the method above but I understand if you want to use the base OEM drivers

    I have consulted with my ACE colleagues and they agree that everything points to a corrupt installation. So doing a clean uninstall with DDU in Safe Mode followed by installing the new Control Center should work
