Getting Ready For FGU

[Patou]

Hi Team FG,

I'm going to be shopping for a new laptop during the holidays and I wanted to know if there was anything I need to worry about in order to run a future version of FG? Such as ram and graphics?

Thank you

Well, the specifics are not yet released but a generic system requirements would start at the minimums for Unity 5, which can be found here. They aren't very demanding at all.

I'd say RAM will be important - if you plan on having a lot of images, etc.. The current maximum memory use of approx. 3.5GB will not be present in Unity version.

8GB or more should be enough?

8GB or more should be enough?

Do you only ever run one instance of FG on the computer? What other applications do you run when using Fantasy Grounds? How many modules, maps, etc. will you be using?

I'd say 8GB will be the absolute bare minimum. If you want to be able to run FG (and other Windows applications) into the future then I'd recommend getting more - or at least making sure you can expand the current memory easily.

Noted..more = better
I run one instance of FG. However I also run my browser with multiple tabs open, OneNote, and sometimes Tokentool for last minute tokens i need.

thanks

Ram = 16GB DDR4 good?
Graphics = NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 4GB GDDR5 okay?

Yes, that should be quite OK

Awesome

The last thing I want is to buy a new laptop and end up having it not meeting up to FGU when it comes out. I'm investing in my basement and hobby so for me this counts a great deal.

When u have a passion u want the best out of it.

Thanks
