    Graphics card help please

    I have a optishot and need to buy a laptop for it. My question is on the graphics . Is it true the better graphics gard means better picture. Is there a big differents in the cards . I see gaming lap tops with gtx 950 m and some lower also . I would hate to spend big bucks on a laptop with the gtx 950m when I can get one cheaper with a lower graphics card in it . Is there a big differents in the graphics or not . Forgot I will be using a projector .

    My understanding with the better/faster card you can choose a higher resolution and not slow down play. You can get a desktop and save some money over a laptop..this is what I did. I am using skytrak and TGC not sure about optishot. I went with this desktop and so far it has been very good.

        Optishot's graphics requirements are minimal.

        From their site:
        • Graphics Card: 256MB available Adapter RAM with OpenGL 2.0 support and the latest Video Drivers (no more than 18 months old)
        Any laptop you buy will probably run the graphics.

          The Optishot software will run on just about any laptop with a basic graphics card. I would consider investing into a better one in case you decide on upgrading down the road. Check out the MSI gaming series. I have run the Optishot and TGC on one with great success.
