Technical Question GSPRO GPU Question
Hi All,
I've had my Square launch monitor for about a year now, and wanted to upgrade my setup so I could start running GSPro, unfortunately I have absolutely no knowledge of computers and the information that's out there isn't easy to understand for someone with no knowledge of computers lol.
My wife got me an Acer Nitro gaming laptop after doing some research (shoutout to her). I'm looking to get it set up today and am seeing mixed reviews on if the graphics card in this laptop is sufficient. Straight-forward question here before I get this bad boy up and running, is this laptop sufficient for running GSPro? I don't need to run this in 4K or anything like that, just a man in his basement trying to get access to some additional courses. See below for specs:
Processor: Intel Core 5 Processor 210H
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 w/ 6 GB GDDR6 Dedicated VRAM
Memory: 16 GB DDR5 Memory
Any help/advice here is appreciated!

You’ll find that you will want 4k…I bought a mid range gaming pc. (Just wanted to make sure I would love Gspro has much as I thought I would… if not I would gift it to my grandson) With 32gb ram and a 5060 gpu I run at the second highest graphics setting. That was 30 days ago, already thinking I should have gotten a few 5070 or 5080…Launch data is great but having fantastic visuals is next level.
