Understanding Golf Simulator Computers: What Specs You Need

Golf simulator PC requirements depend almost entirely on which software you run. GSPro publishes a GTX 1070 as its 1080p minimum. Trackman asks for an RTX 4070 Ti class card, 32GB of RAM, and Windows 11. Square Golf lists 4GB of RAM and no graphics card at all. Find your program in the list below and check your PC against its table.

If you run more than one program, buy for the highest requirement among them. Most publishers list a 1080p figure and a 4K figure, and the graphics card is the spec that changes most between them, so it is the one to spend on.

Which Software Do You Run?

Your launch monitor usually decides this. Trackman units run Trackman’s own software, Foresight and Bushnell monitors run FSX Play, and Uneekor units run VIEW or Refine along with supported third-party programs such as GSPro. Square ships with its own software included. If you have not picked hardware yet, start with our golf simulator software guide or our home golf simulator guide, and see our launch monitor survey for the hardware side.

PC Requirements by Software

The golf simulator computer specs below come from each publisher’s own page where one exists, and from retailer support pages where the publisher does not publish figures. The source sits underneath each table, and the notes call out places where sources disagree.

The GSPro system requirements vary by source on storage and RAM, so both versions are shown above. GSPro runs on Windows only, per PlayBetter, and it needs a stable internet connection during play. The launch monitor link runs over Ethernet or Bluetooth depending on the monitor, per Carl’s Place’s license page.
