Old computer died :( Looking at options. Found a CyperPowerPC at Best Buy with AMD Radeon RX 460 or 480 graphics card. All reviews are good, but you guys are who I trust. Will this graphics card do the job with TW08??? If no please advise as how to go. Do not want to spend a fortune... Thanks in advance for your help!! PS, love all he courses!! I am running on my laptop, but graphics card does not do the game justice. |

Do you want to stay with a laptop for playing the game on? I would suggest not but I understand the whole ease of use issue. If you want to stay with a laptop I can't help. I don't know that much about gaming on laptops. I just know that it didn't work for me. If you want to go with a desktop I may be able to help a little. |

Hello, when it is a new computer then it will probably run on win10 or win8 ? There was a problem with the AMD Radeon graphics cards for TW08 on win8 and win10, but people found a workaround how to get it working. So with the workaround you should get it to work on win10 or win8. But to be honest i think it is a better option to use a system with an nvidia graphics card, but it is not 100% guaranteed it will work on win10. A system on win7 64bit should be no problem for the AMD Radeon cards though. |

I found it's going to come down to the processor speed. I have 8 GBs of memory and an NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 (2GB). You would think I could run any course seamlessly, but I have to either choose the lowest settings or turn the 3D graphics off (grass, etc.). The problem has to be my processor which is an AMD Phenom 9600B quad-core. It's only a 2300 mhz. It's gotta be that. |

Many times its the combination of the two. Do they work well together? Sometimes you don't find that out until after the fact. Be aware that getting a SSD instead of a regular HD will be drastic in performance. I switched to a SSD and I was amazed at the boost in performance reaction times. Most cannot afford a high GB SSD and opt for a smaller one, put your OS in it and your programs, then all of your data can be stored on the high capacity older HD technology. I did about a month of research before I built my current PC using mostly used parts. |
