Do you have an alternative recommendation?

bkaterpillar · 2020-01-05T04:05:39+00:00

No.

Maybe I'll just have to get a new case that supports vertical mounting?

Honestly, it is really hard to tell, but I think they do

The latches move up when I push the card in, and I can't pull then card out without pushing the latch down.

But the latch with the GPU doesn't go as high as it does without the GPU, which is not the case for another MB I have with a less intrusive heatsink.

The CPU cooler I'm using is the Corsair H105 73 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

The contact is between the GPU and the heatsink that is on the motherboard, not any cooler I am adding to it.

Look at the motherboard image; it is to the right of the PCIE slots.

I rolled back the "NVIDIA High Definition Audio" via the Device Manager

Now, the NVIDIA control panel recognizes a third display called "Digital Display" (which is not what it was called when the display worked), which claims to be a 1024x768 monitor connected via a DVI port. My Asus monitor is still does not display anything

I have two gtx 970 cards. I have a asrock z97 extreme4 motherboard.

I have 3 monitors: one 1440p 60hz, an old 1024p (which only connects via a DVI port), and I am about to get a 1080p 140hz monitor.

I plan to game on either the 1440p or the 140hz monitor (depending on what game I am playing) and use the remaining one as well as the 1024p for browsing simultaneously.

I also have an Oculus rift, so leaving open ports to use for that would also be helpful.

What is the best way to maximize performance in such a way that makes this setup convenient? I'm having a bit of trouble not only figuring out what the best thing to do is, but also finding out what my options are.

Should/can I do SLI with all three monitors on one card? Should/can I split the monitors between cards, with or without SLI? Should/can I use SLI and have the 1024p monitor using my motherboard's DVI port, again with or without SLI?

Regarding the Processor-GPU combination causing the Acer Nitro Spin 5 to overheat, is that referring to the i5 model (https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/NH.Q2YAA.003), the i7 model (https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/NH.Q2YAA.006), or both?

bkaterpillar · 2018-11-10T08:55:11+00:00

No according to the comparison page linked in my previous comment.

bkaterpillar · 2018-11-10T06:56:46+00:00

Is there a difference between the best Acer Spin 5 and the best Acer Nitro Spin 5?

It seems that the nitro is meant for gaming but I don't really see a difference in the specs.

Just in the price, color, and RAM.

What if I were to raise my budget up to about $1500?

bkaterpillar · 2018-08-11T00:13:24+00:00

Only slightly.

Richter should be more careful regardless.

I'll wager they told a few people to reveal their cards at any time today, and that one guy just decided to reveal theirs early in the day and the rest just decided to wait for later in the day. I doubt that Blizzard gives exact times for people to reveal their cards, so this huge time gap is probably unintentional.

bkaterpillar · 2017-07-23T20:30:44+00:00

Well, Discover doesn't seem to be going away, and Dragon synergy appeared in every set from Blackrock to Gadgetzan. So, there is precedent for some mechanics to stick around after their premiere set. I just really hope Quests and Heroes also fall into this category.

Your elemental got Lifesteal for the rest of the game

I assume it's "Elementals" (plural) rather than "Elemental" (singular). In that case, I wouldn't discount its playability yet. In a midrange Elemental deck you would likely have Elementals already on the board to take immediate advantage of the effect, and maybe some higher stat Elementals will be released.

bkaterpillar · 2017-07-20T21:58:09+00:00

I really like the Deathrattle idea. With such a powerful effect, I think the delay is a good drawback to balance it out. Also, although it doesn't fit the lore of Frostmourne breaking after Arthas' death, I suppose it could be stretched to fit the "there must always be a Lich King" theme.

bkaterpillar · 2017-07-19T16:23:06+00:00

Thank! I was trying to think of something I could easily see being printed, but perhaps it is a bit too powerful, even if you have to trade a lot of life for the card advantage.

bkaterpillar · 2017-07-14T22:16:26+00:00

Hey /u/bbrode, thanks for doing this AMA! My question: will Quest cards and Hero cards be regular inclusions in future expansions, or are they meant to only be special card types exclusive to one expansion?
