Fell into an HP Omen I7 2060. Exchange or keep? TGC 2019

No problem running TGC2019 at almost max settings in 1080p with that setup... If you are planning on going 4K, then obviously exchange, but to get there you need something that has a 2080/super/Ti, or a new 3070 (which is not currently available in Laptop form until next month... Expect to pay a heavy premium for those)

Great to hear thanks. Just curious, when you say almost max, where does it fall short? And yes, not going 4k at this point

I've noticed in render detail even with my 2070 that I will get some jitter or tearing if I'm set to maximum on everything. This only happens on courses that have a ton of resources. A course that tends to do it to me is Shadow Creek, NV. What I've found is by reducing the Fog detail and shadow detail, even by one step, I don't perceive any quality hit and get great performance. My card is OC'd as well and not throttling due to temperature, so I can only imagine what would happen to a 2060 mobile GPU when that it starts to get toasty.

Interesting thanks. In an effort to save time, and you seem very knowledgeable (thank you), any quick guides or threads that speak to optimizing settings on both the PCU and TGC 2019? I know individual setup matters (mine below) but thought maybe some universal "here's how to quickly set this setting and that setting for TGC 2019"

Again, MUCH appreciated.

Also, what is OC'd?

OC'd == Overclocked

Good info and don't want to hijack his thread but ... does reducing fog and shadow really free up a lot of bandwidth to use elsewhere? (like object detail). I can not max out my graphic settings so I have to make a sacrifice somewhere. I figured fog and shadow were probably not eating up much anyway so I haven't bothered to reduce those. I was under the assumption that the options in the main graphics menu (not the advanced menu) were the ones that probably made the biggest difference from an FPS standpoint (depth of field and bloom lighting and whatever else is on that screen).

So you think that by dialing down fog and shadow that I could maybe dial up object detail a little? I assume sky or cloud quality (can't remember how it's phrased) would be similar to fog and shadow in terms of graphics bandwidth.

Also, what type of anti-aliasing do you use and is one more demanding than the other in terms of FPS?

[SkeetShooter]

Water detail is probably number one, then Shadow, fog has limited impact. FXXA is what I use for Anti-Aliasing, however admittedly I have not played around a lot in there. I might try some different render options.

Render detail is dependent on the course. Like I said above. Shadow Creek seems to absolutely crush my GPU (No Idea why either) Honestly, though, recently, I did some Overclocking on my card and I'm running significantly faster than I was before on Mhz, and I have had no hitching, tearing, or loss of FPS. I'll try to post my specs at some point later and see what I can derive from it.

Awesome thanks
