Q: QuestionWill I be able to run fortnite with greater then 90 FPS with low settings? Also will I get higher frames if I connect the laptop to a high amount of hz’s monitor?

Asked 6 years ago by Vader77.

• A:Answer You will always get a great frame rate from the monitor, that's the communication between the card and the screen basically. If you have a 240hz monitor that's what you'll get so long as the card is capable. I won't Google the card info for you ;p .

Q: QuestionI just got the acer nitro an517-51 does anyone know if the oculus rift will work for it

Asked 6 years ago by gj.

• A:Answer It did not pass the minimum specs with the Oculus test. I have the Oculus Rift, not the new S version. I was able to launch some of the games from the Oculus store, free games (ie Spiderman far from home) even though on the home screen it says a message " your graphics card does not meet min. specs" . I did have an issue with launching steam VR games, but after installing Steam VR. I have had no issues. I was able to play Exorcist-Chapter 1 no issues. So for me this is acceptable, because i will not be playing real intense games like FPS. I hope this helps.

Q: QuestionHi, I bought this laptop some months ago and I was wondering if I could add more memory to it? I understand that there's a dual M.2 Support, thus, which brand should I buy? Could you give me an example, please? Thank you for your help.

Asked 5 years ago by Rontrox6.

• A:Answer You can add both a M. 2 drive and standard laptop SATA drive to this. As far as which one, it just depends what you want to spend. I like Crucial. They have a great memory finder tool that will tell you exactly what you can install.

Q: Questioncan this laptop run 3 desktop monitors???

Asked 5 years ago by kodadog.

• A:Answer No. Not without several adapters. And even with those you could only run the windows desktop. The GPU isn't powerful enough to drive 3 monitors for games. FPS would be in the dirt.
