    Question on graphics card.

    I have an Alienware computer with Intel Core i7-6700HQ@2.60GHZ 16 GB Ram Intel HD Graphics 530, and I am wondering if this will be okay for me to play TGC 2019?

    The computer should be ok except for the Video card. I might suggest you put in a GTX 1060 or RX 570/580 or better. These cards are not very expensive these days.

      What about an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M?

    I have seen this question a lot on here and I was going to ask myself, I know sometimes the answer was you can download the game for PC and try it, if it works then it will work with the Sim version as well. I was especially concerned because I'm hearing there are no refunds on TGC buying thru Skytrak, which seems ridiculous to me. Anyway I ran into this site that seems to allow you to pick your processor and graphics card then a game and it lets you know if it will work as well as how it will perform. Pretty good if its accurate.

    Here it is:

      I believe it was determined that the sim version is slightly more demanding than the pc version. The best thing to do is just abide by the recommended specs on the skytrak website. They lay everything out for you.

      Ok I didn't realize the sim version required more, The problem I've been having is I'm getting a new computer and the graphics card it comes with is not listed on gpu benchmark or anything. The computer is a Dell G5 with an I5 - 10400f CPU, and has an AMD Radeon RX5600 (Note this is not RX 5600XT). So while I think it is probably good enough, I'd hate to spend $1000 on a game just so I can spend another $500 on a new graphics card.

      Understand that I haven't used a windows computer in a long long time since converting to Macintosh, haha and to think I built my own 286 and 386 computers in the 90's and recite MS-DOS commands over the phone to help people out, Now I'm completely lost.

    Op, that sounds like just the onboard graphics card. Sorry no way it will run tgc2019 very well. Fsx2020 maybe..
