I've invested a few bucks in a new laptop, seeing that my older one dont want to run GGM since Alpha 2.

Please note, my Laptop is actually more a general Database/Windows development/programming , but I looked for something to run GGM whenever I feel like playing around.
The Aplha 4 run so smooth on this one...

MSI GF65 Thin 95D
Intel Core i7-9750CPU, 2.60ghz
32GB Ram
Window 10 64Bit
2Terabyte SSD
Nviadia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti
Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630

I've run the passmark tests... seems okay to me...

hi DannyD

you should be ok with those specs but don't forget to setup Nvidia Control Panel up so that it always uses the Nvidia card and not onboard GPU when using graphics apps, i think you choose apps in the performance settings part, if you just choose the apps required rather than on all the time you will get a nice balance with battery life, that's how i set mine

also the nvidia card you have supports VR/Mixed Reality BTW

Thanks GraPhiX
Already set Nvidia as Primary

Any suggestions for an affordable, don't break the Bank VR set for playing around with?
Absolute NO experience with VR.... and this is more of a "nice to have" than a "must have"...

Yeah, I've been quite lately, changed jobs.. moving... etc...
Just pop-in and read some forum post when having spare time.
Hopefully things will get back to normal soon.. and I can start playing around again with some models and GGM
