dreamkey56 Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Hi guys, I am new at this Forum. Read a lot of threads, and I decided to build my own Hyperpin Visual Pinball cab. Found a lot of informations, but dont know a real working PC-configuration. Please help meeee! Should be a 3 Monitor Setup: 46", 32", real DMD. What is a real good working PC Setup for this? actual Overclocked i7, SSD, Win7, 8GB DDR3, 700 Watt powersupply, but WHICH GPU? Do I Need 2 Cards? Or why do some People use two Cards? Or can I get the main field and the backglass working with a single Card? GTX 660? GTX 680? Have also the Option to get a used 2 x GTX 680 SLI Mode configuration. Will this work well? Would be fine, if somebody can help. 1 or two GPU, and which type? (can be oversized. Dont want to take a risk at buying maybe too slow GPUs). Thanks to the PIN guys! HP
mameman Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 we used to use 2 cards for running 3 screens, if your going to run a real dmd then you just need the one. SLI makes no impact to performance from the tests i have done sometime back. a good 1gb modern nvidia gtx line of card is more than good enough. PM me for any custom CNC needs. Find me on Facebook..

dreamkey56 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Posted October 16, 2013 Thank you mameman, that is, what I needed. So, a single GPU is good enough to work with the playfield and the backglass, yes? I think, a GTX 660 with 2GB should work fine in the case I use a real DMD? Starting with an actual I5 or i7 processor, yes? Perfect, now it is time to start... Best to you, HP
DeeGor Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Stick with an i5. The i7 gives you no performance over the i5 since we don't use hyperthreading.
dreamkey56 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Posted October 16, 2013 OK, thank you. Will aim for a i5. Which one would you suggest? HP
darrinbrewer Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 here was my last setup, played all the HD tables I could throw at it. i5-3570, 4gb 1600mhz ram 1 560TI 1GB (both playfield and backglass) pin-dmd/real dmd 600 thermaltake PSU it doesn't take the latest and greatest to run visual pinball I used a I3/gtx 460 once, the HD tables had a LITTLE stutter, not bad though.
dreamkey56 Posted October 17, 2013 Author Posted October 17, 2013 Thank you, This really helps. Will receive my components soon....hopefully. HP
