Hey everyone,

 

Im new to the virtual pinball world, and im getting a small virtual pinball machine ( limited space ). The one im getting is this one below:

 

Prebuilt Cab - https://gameroomsolu...inball-cabinet/

4k Playfield  https://www.amazon.c...JEEGEVVYECWZ3P3

18.5 Inch Backfield - https://www.amazon.c...JEEGEVVYECWZ3P3

TMolding - https://www.amazon.c...JEEGEVVYECWZ3P3

 

So far i have picked out the 27inch playfield monitor, and the 18.5 backfield, and the tmolding. Was looking for someone to verify if what i picked so far would work well in this, and also to help me pick the last two missing parts. I am making this a 4K screen, therefore i want to get a pc with a nvidia 1060, though it needs to fit in this cab so needs to be small. I was looking at a MSI Trident 3 i found for about 650$, that has a Nvidia 1060, i7 8700, 8gb ram, 1tb Drive. WOuld this be a good option or does someone have a better alternative for the pc? I want it to be a prebuilt.

 

I also need 4inch speakers if anyone has any recommendations for that as well.

 

Thanks in advance for everyone help, please let me know if the pc and monitors i picked are good choices for 4k pinball on this cabinet, or if there is a better pc for my needs.

In theory this should work - but, there is no guarantee. You've bought monitors that should fit a pre-built cab. 27" is the diagonal of the display. How much "extra" space you have in that cabinet isn't mentioned. Same goes for backglass. What you really should do is to ask for exact measurements for all parts. Then you know. For the computer I would go no less than a 1070 for the GPU.

I run 4k with a 1070ti@43".  Runs butter smooth, but running 4k on 27 inches?  I believe at 1440 vs 4k the quality would be negligible not to mention much easier on your video card and your wallet.  If you're trying to spend the money on a great display...skip the 4k and get 1440 with a high refresh rate (144hZ.)  It is all of us 43" users' wildest dreams to get 120/144hZ for a reasonable price.

I just upgraded my 1060 4K to a Gigabyte RTX 2070 (lower power than 2070 super).  with the 1060, I had to turn off most effects and it was barely doing 60fps on the most demanding cabs/pup setups.  RTX 2070 has all features maxxed out and speed to spare.

 

He he I have a GTX 1060 to unload now along with a few VIZIO 43" 1080p monitors for anyone near Austin, TX......

 

I'd really suggest going with a better card..
