Great guide! I can personally vouch for Matt knowing the ins & outs of all things computer related especially simulator wise. Been a wealth of knowledge in convos!

Thanks HRG!!! Appreciate the comment! Now we just need to get you a GSPRO set up 😆

Thanks Matt! Exactly what I wanted to hear. Now, hopefully there will be some great after Christmas sales or open box deals available...

No problem Tom! Oh yeah I am sure you will see some great deals this time of year, just keep an eye out! Let me know if you have any questions about potential PCs. Good luck!!

Thank you Matt. This is extremely helpful. Should one be concerned about the number of HDMI ports a laptop has? I would like to run a wall monitor (extended not mirrored) as well as the projector from the laptop. Thank you in advance for any help.

Glad I was able to help! My laptop only has 1 HDMI port and I wanted to do something similar. What I ended up doing is using the USB C port the laptop has (make sure yours has this) and got a cheap USB C Hub off amazon, it was like $30. That then allowed me 2 HDMI ports and worked great.

Hey Matt, great video! I may have asked this before so apologies in advance, but will my AMD Ryzen 5 2600X have a negative impact if I upgrade my graphics card to a 3050 or 3060?

Hey BA great question!! In general terms since that is an older CPU you may see bottleneck since you are upgrading to a newer graphics card, more so in video editing than GSPRO. I don’t think you would see any real impact in gspro since gaming/golf simulation is generally more graphic intensive than processor intensive, where video editing like the rendering process is more processor intensive.

If you have it run it but if you still need to buy a CPU then start off Ryyzen 5 3600 and above but start with Ryzen 5 so you still can run DDR4 if you already have Motherboard and Ram. No need for more than 16gb ram ever for golf or even gaming. Also use benchmark to compare parts but say a 1080Ti is same specs and speeds as a 3060TI for way cheaper. No need to go to a 30 or 40 series really so for ultra a 1080TI but for even medium/high 1080p you can use 1060ti-1070. Also 2 sticks in dual channel is what you want for gaming not 4 sticks. If ddr4 get 3200cl16 or 3600cl16-ck18 then if have 4 slots alternate 1 stick every 2nd slot so 2 sticks 8gb.

Dump the laptop idea! Get a desktop gaming PC with ANY modern CPU and then make sure it has the best graphics card you can afford. The graphics card is almost entirely responsible for ensuring you get a beautiful image and smooth 60 fps (the typical refresh rate on projectors and tv's). It's that simple.

While I agree building a PC is more cost effective some people don’t feel comfortable doing that. I figure a laptop is usually much easier and more portable. Additionally you can sometimes get some good deals on them!
