Newbie Here - A Few Questions

[Joopman]

Forgive me, but I am just starting out.  I have been reading . . . reading . . . reading.

 

QUESTIONS:

 

1.  I have an extra gaming laptop (Asus ROG) with an internal 3060 video board.  It has USBs and 1 HDMI output.  Can I use this as my computer for a Virtual Pinball system?

 

2.  I plan on using 3 TVs for main playing field, backboard, and DMD.  If the laptop is usable, what type of HDMI splitter-setup would I need to get all 3 displays running?

 

3.  What would my video display settings be for the laptop . . . display 1, display 2, display 3?

 

I know there will be many more questions, but I believe I need to know the answers to these 3 questions first to determine if my planned cpu needs are workable.

 

THANK YOU

1. It should be up to the job with a 3060.

2. I'd use 2 of the USBs for 2 of the TVs, and HDMI for the 3rd. See what refresh rates you get on each TV at native resolution. Put the playfield on the fastest screen, and I'd put DMD on slowest. You won't need a splitter, just 1 HDMI cable and 2 USB3 > 4k HDMI cables (or 1080p if that's what you have).

3. Display numbers don't matter so much. Make the playfield display primary, and arrange Playfield | backglass | DMD left to right. Make sure all the tops line up.
