[QUOTE="seattlemark, post: 113530, member: 1959"] Frank, I am also using an HD R7770 (in my case an MSI), and the rest of my overall specs are probably less than that Cybertron you linked to. (Mine is an Intel I5 CPU, but with only 6 GB of RAM unlike your 8GB.) At any rate TPA is flying for me, and I have a feeling it's because of that R770 video card. I have everything cranked up to the max in the TPA Configuration menu for AA, PP, and reflections. I have only had a little time to play, but I have seen no degradation so far with it all the way cranked up. (I tested on a good monitor, and on a good HD TV.) And of course, we don't have DX11 yet (which I understand this card loves), and TPA still looks great to me. Well, come to think of it, I do see a little fuzziness at times with the lettering on the table in Twilight Zone, but nothing too distracting. I usually have two monitors hooked up to this video card. Both are running 1920 x 1080. A nice thing about the R7770 is that it is very energy efficient compared to a lot of other graphics cards. By the way, that video card can support 3D. I used it with a better HDMI cable to my LG TV with passive 3D. Only 3D game I tried though was DIRT that AMD gave with the video card in July 2012. (That DIRT was my first introduction to Steam, coincidentally.) For the heck of it for TPA, I also did the following as suggested on our forum, but did not compare before and after- I installed the RadeonPro tool, for setting FlipQueue with AMD/ATI as mentioned here, and I used "1" as most folks seemed to like that value: [url]http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/6365-If-you-re-experiencing-flipper-delay-in-TPA-PC-version-please-read-this?p=112389&viewfull=1#post112389[/url] Please Note: My R7770 is an MSI "Power Edition" model, but I don't know the extent that is helping over other brands of HD R7770 without that feature.
