Wow. Surprised no one else has answered this yet.

9th question.

The year is 20XX. Everyone plays Fox at TAS levels of perfection. Because of this, the winner of a match depends solely on port priority. The RPS metagame has evolved to ridiculous levels due to it being the only remaining factor to decide matches.

Only Abate, Axe, and Wobbles can save us.

Yes and no. Geforce Experience users can, AMD can't as the drivers for the controller are only available through Geforce experience.

 

As you apparently have Nvidia card, you're good.

 

 

Although from what I recall Linus saying during the last WAN Show, it may work with AMD GPU systems, but not have the full functionality.

INTEL CORE i5-7600K | ASUS ROG STRIX B250i GAMING | CRUCIAL BALLISTIX SPORT LT 16GB | EVGA GTX 970 SC | EVGA B3 550W
SAMSUNG 850 EVO 250GB | CRYORIG M9i | BE QUIET! PURE WINGS 2| FRACTAL DESIGN DEFINE NANO S

PlPlayStationontroller FTW! You can use it with Bluetooth!
