How to build my simulator with 5000$ ?

[Randwik]

Hello everyone, I first apologize for the understanding of this message but I am French and I will use a translator.

Then I am Cedric and I live in France, I would like to install a simulator in my garage but with a limited budget ($ 5000). My garage is 18 feet by 13 feet. The ceiling height is 11 feet.

I already have the practice mat, a friend will sell me skytrak for $ 1700 so I will have $ 3300 to buy the rest :

Computer: $ 492 Computer Config

Impact Screen (12X9): $ 250 https://www.golfbays.co.uk/Golf_Impa..._18607269.aspx

TGC: $ 945

Net behind the screen:?

Video Projector (optoma GT760): $ 570


I would like to install the skytrak simulator with the TGC software. What do you think of the impact screen?
Is the config of the computer sufficient?
Regarding the structure of the screen, I count the realized with wood what do you think?

Must it necessarily put a net above the structure?


Could you give me your idea of configuration with a budget of 3300 $ knowing that I will have the Skytrak


thank you in advance

Be careful on the video card number. Just because it is a higher nu,her does not mean it is better, just a new version. 900 series vs 1000 series. 1000 series is newer, but 970 still faster than 1050.

Definitely! However if you are a laptop user the 970m and the 1050 ti benchmark about the same with slight FPS to the1050 ti.

Use a benchmarking site as an indicator to compare. For golf simulators and to future proof these upgrades coming online (E6 Connect, TGC 2019, CG3D 2.5) I’m thinking a 1050 TI is the baseline. Again lower cards will run these but to spec up and have some future capabilities this might be optimal.

The 1050ti is not a suitable a "spec up/future proof" card for TGC. It is already BELOW what Protee recommends for TGC.

FaultyClubs If one is running a lesser card such as the 940MX, GTX 1050 ti and GTX 1060 3GB are very comparative on benchmark tests. They’re not as good as a GTX 970 but should run the software aok. You’re right. I’m coming at this from a graphics card that ran TGC and E6. The 940MX would be miserable for TGC 2019. Do you agree?

[FaultyClubs]

Follow Protee's recommendations and you'll be fine. Tgc 2019 isn't any harder on the video card than tgc1.

[FaultyClubs]

Just curious where you sourced that info? Otherwise I’m making a mistake

From Protee recommendations for the Sim. It's on their website. You have a Skytrak...they also list the Sim requirements on their site.

2k's requirements are for the pc game, not the sim.

Got it.........see above.
