    Follow my walkthrough below

    First Boot into Safe Mode and download and run DDU https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html for a clean uninstall of your current AMD Center and Drivers then boot back into Normal Mode

    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. Click the link below to download the 2020 Control Center and the latest drivers for the RX560x will be automatically installed
    https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-20-2-1

    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.

    Just as an addition to what "andylb" has posted, make sure that you uninstall the pervious AMD graphics drivers on your system by going to Control Panel > Uninstall a program and search for the AMD graphic drivers that are installed on your system, then, make sure that you clean up all the junk files from your system by going to > This PC > right click your boot drive (usually C) > Disk Cleanup (delete all junk files) then do the same to "Clean up system file". 
    After all that, reboot and install the latest "Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.2.1" (2/3/2020 - 482 MB) from here: https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/radeon-500-series/radeon-rx-500x-series/radeon-rx-560x 

    Note: AMD software and drivers are designed to work best for up-to-date operating systems. Please be sure to update your operating system before installing drivers.

  • If none of the tips work, try resetting the battery. Also check if this problem was caused by any recent windows update.

    Please tell me the process to update the bios
  • b) uninstall the antivirus, if one is installed and disable windows defender;
    c) disable wireless and disconnect any devices that are connected to the USB port;
    d) charge the battery to 100% and leave the notebook connected to the power adapter;
    e) then, run the bios file and do not touch anything and do not turn off the notebook.

  • Didn't the bios update work? Or did updating the bios not solve the problem with the video card?

    Ok do a clean windows 10 install by Restarting and pressing Alt + f10 at the Acer logo and select keep my files
    Then install the AMD 2020 Control Center from here
