  • video card question

    Hi, I have a small computer monitor that I use my Skytrak with. On the lowest graphics settings, could I run TGC on a Nvidia Quadro 4000 video card (which appears to have 2G of dedicated memory and can use some "other" memory? If I ever upgrade to a projector and impact screen, I know I'd need a legit video card, but I'd appreciate any advice. The rest of the old computer can handle it per Skytrak's recommendations. Thanks.

    I'm by no means an expert but I'm going to say it probably won't work. That being said, if you wanted to find out you can buy the PC version of The Golf Club on steam. I've read that if the PC version will run on your computer then the simulator version will also run. This is what I did. I believe it's $30 but I got it on sale for around $13 a few months ago.

      Thanks, Jb50. How did you find it on sale? Just happened to click through the Steam site? Or found it elsewhere?

    I believe Steam allows returns up to 24 hours too. Something like that. That's a good way to try.

    I suspect with a system that has a quadro 4000 in it, the other components are weak as well...

      I used a laptop with a NVIDIA Quadro K2000M for a couple of months while I waited for my new machine to be built and it ran fine on medium settings. The laptop was running an i7-3840 processor, 16 GB ram and windows 10-64bit.

      Hope this helps.

        Thanks! That's very helpful. I'll probably try this and then change to a better card (or better computer) if I decide to go with a projector or similar.

      If I remember correctly, you can set up some notifications so you get notified when it goes on sale. Don't remember exactly what I did.
