I'd go 1070ti if you're already up into that budget range.

This is a cool thread. I recall running my vp9.21 on a Xp machine with multi generation older nvidea card.
Simple dual core machine. I remember you could get by running virtual pinballl with a second hand pc that might have been used for a mame machine.
Now with the vpx generation requires a modern performance pc.

I’m ok with needing a newer machine to power my pinball cabinet because the software is evolving and improving.

Having threads like this is important so we know what the hardware requirement are to keep pace with software.

I'm running w10, [email protected], 16gb, gtx970 oc'd and it is struggling with vpx at 4K. Can't even think about brute Force 4xAA and even without it some tables like T2 and Medieval Madness drop below 60 fps.

I'm just wondering where are these comments about 1060 or even 1050 being adequate based?

Thinking if even 1070 is enough or if I should go for 1080.

The 1050 and 1060 comments are for 1080p setups

Have to take it back a bit. All tables so far are smooth 4K@60 fps with GTX970 (without 4xsmaa). It was B2S that had accidentally been switched to non exe mode and caused annoying stutter.
