Will this computer run TGC and E6 well?

[Bbarfoot14]

I beleive the processor and graphics are enough to run these programs well but wanted to confirm everything else is fine. Thanks

[keefer00]

Should be plenty. I'm running TGC on a 4 yr old i5/1050ti without any issues.

What difference would be seen in gameplay of TGC or e6 from an i5 intel vs an i7. Assuming the same graphics card

[preludesam]

No difference. Processing power would be needed if you were running additional programs at the same time i.e. Swing Catalyst or Kinovea for swing review.

Can I project 4:3 off a computer as my screen is designed to that aspect

[Stetson]

You should be able to chose that ratio through the NVidia software, or your projector. I would recommend the software.

So don’t just change the image size in display settings like I did? I couldn’t find the option on my benq projector.

[Stetson]

Correct. You want the GPU to adjust the image

[Bbarfoot14]

Yea I don’t see any options other then the display size. Any help on where to access gpu settings?

you can try this

[preludesam]

Yes, you need to access the Nvidia Control Panel and create a custom resolution. You should leave the aspect ratio to auto on the projector.

I know you do not have a 4K projector but it's the same process on the link below.

I accessed the nvidia control panel but it didn’t give the option to adjust ratio or resolution just 3d setting and color adjustments. Seems like my only option is the 1600:1200 option in resolution which is 4:3 but I’m not sure if optimizing it?

[Bbarfoot14]

Thanks for the info, the computer runs e6 extremely well. It’s crazy difference from the iPad, almost laughable.
I’ll try to follow those steps thanks

[Bbarfoot14]

All set thanks for the help, of course it has an internal GPU that was taking over so it wouldn’t let the nvidia control display. All set
