Hi All
Long time lurker here who is finally getting around to completion of my Arcade cabinet and need your help and support please
Background
Its a Virtua Fighter 2 cabinet by Sega.
Controls have been gutted and replaced with Sanwa joysticks and buttons wired into Ultimarc IPAC2
PC inside will be an i5 with 16gb RAM.
Monitor - Upgraded Tri-Sync 29" CRT monitor (With VGA input into the chassis).
Front End will by Hyperspin 8TB pre-configured hard drive and emulators loaded
Selecting the GPU is where I'm getting stuck. Ideally, I would like to run all old MAME games (including Street Fighter, Robocop, Golden Axe + many others in their native resolution @ native resolution - 15KHz?).
However, I also want to load latest Taito Type x games and Teknoparrot games and other nice emulators preferably at 31GHz.
Questions
1) Given the above what GPU do I get? I don't want to spend more than £100 - £150 if I can help it. (I don't want to spend £400 on a graphics card as I don't think its necessary - unless you can confirm otherwise hence budget of £100- £150 GBP)
2) If I get an AMD card, I understand that I can use the CRT Emudriver by Calamity - and get 15KHz with old MAME games - is that correct? How does this work on new latest games by Taito Type X and Teknoparrot? Does the resolution change to 31KHz if I wanted to select it? Or will it autoselect. (Remember, I have a Tri Sync monitor)
3) Checking other forums some people recommend Nvidia GT1030, however those individuals aren't taking into account that I have a CRT and the objective is to get old games looking good as a priority followed by playing the latest games after that.
4) Please help me select a card - Nvidia GeForce GT 1030 / Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 / AMD Radeon RX 560 4GB - Any of those perhaps? Or What would you recommend?
Thanks in advance!
