+ | You'll get lots of advice about what the hardware requirements to run 4k, vpx, 3 screens etc. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I'm not promoting anything, but i do like FACTS and actual results from real-world testing. | ||
+ | |||
+ | So here's my medium powered PC which Im happy with currently. (May 2019). If i was to build today I'd probably go a little higher as GPU prices have dropped and a bit faster to keep up in future…but for now I'm not upgrading. | ||

+ | I'm happy with 4K performance on my cab. Im sure if I spent a lot more on CPU/GPU it would possibly do more. But remember, with the TV locked at 60fps (vsync) thats the benchmark to not go under. But I don't know how much benefit there is to go over that….that said, you should NOT cheap-out on the PC in your cab. With all the time/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | again… lots of opinions, but I thought I'd put it out there what Im using and working with….happy gaming! | ||
