  • Computer Specs for SkyTrak

    Hello on the SkyTrak website, the PC requirements are Windows 7, 8, or 10, Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.0GHz or higher and 2GB RAM or higher. I bought a Dell Inspiron 13-7353 last year with Windows 10 Home, Intel Core i5-6200U @ 2.3GHz and 8GB RAM. At first glance, it appears that my laptop would be sufficient, but Murphy's law tells me that I'm going to have to buy a gaming desktop with a graphics card costing me $1,000. Anyone have any thoughts?

      TGC. It seems that's what everyone on this forum plays. I just checked their recommended system requirements. Recommended:

      • OS: Windows 10 (64Bit)
      • Processor: Intel Core i7
      • Memory: 8 GB RAM
      • Graphics: NVidia GTX 970
      • DirectX: Version 11
      • Network: Broadband Internet connection
      • Hard Drive: 20 GB available space
      • Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible
      Murphy's Law prevails again!

          My guess is that the video card doesn't have the horsepower.

              The computer specs on the SkyTrak site are to use the device with the SkyTrak range application. To play on simulated golf courses requires 3rd-party software which has different requirements. The computer specs for sim golf vary, depending which of several available 3rd-party products you choose, but in every case call for more computing and graphics processing power than is needed for the basic SkyTrak range application.

                  At my local Costco they have in stock this Acer Predator AG3 Gaming Tower - Intel Core i7 - 8GB Graphics It is the same as the online price. This will be plenty for TGC. http://www.costco.com/Acer-Predator-...100319640.html

                    That's a beefy box for sure.

                    Purchased an MSI GS43VR Phantom Pro-006 gaming laptop yesterday. It has a 6th Generation Intel Core i7 6700HQ,16 GB Memory, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB. Can't wait to download TGC when I get delivery of my laptop next week. Skytrak came yesterday too with the protective case!

                      That should run TGC very well.

                    For what it's worth, I an playing with a pretty horrible computer, wth the graphics set to low. I have the resolution pretty high though. The have plays fine. I am sure it would be more enjoyable with better graphics, but this is giving me some time to save up for a better computer. The point being you don't necessarily have to shell out for a new PC right away if you want just try out what you have now.

                      no lag?!?! As in you hit the ball and then see the flight instantly? If so that awsome and now I know what graphics card I need next...

                        Cant be with ST. I'm assuming he means no lagging in the flight of the ball. If you try to run to high of res with a GCU that can't handle it, you will get choppiness/lagging.

                        It is an AMD A8 7410, 8gb memory and an AMD radeon R5 integrated graphics card. I guess it isn't complete junk, but I paid less than 300 for it. Originally it was supposed to be for the kids to do homework on. Lol. All they used it for was to watch YouTube videos though, so i don't feel too bad. I haven't tried running it in anything higher than low mode yet. Tomorrow I will try medium and high out and report how it performs.
