Useless (sad to say) on my Sam460 with a Radeon HD 4550 (1GB) graphics card.
A game with 640x480 software rendering is not appealing in 2017..!
(MiniGL won't run on Radeon HD 4xxx)

Well, but a Radeon HD 4550 (1GB) graphics card, should surpass the graphics cards from 1998 that this game used to run on... Else "time has stood still"?

Dude, your card has no Warp3D drivers, what did you expect? :laughing:

As if I didn't know that! That's the problem with AmigaOS 4.1...
No f***ing drivers! :angry:

I'm more and more thinking about quitting Amiga.
1986-2017 is a long time (for me) towards Amiga:s slow death...

In 2011, I just bought one by ACube recommended "de facto standard" card.
Acube had choosen the Radeon HD 4xxx-series as the Sam460ex graphics cards.

Still on their hompage 2017:

My  old PC from 2010 have an old NVIDIA GeForce 210 (512MB) and easily  plays games which are more demanding than AmigaOS4.X games, although it  has less performance than a Radeon HD 4550!

So putting your recommended cards, in a Sam460 would be like a VW Beetle with a 600 HP V8 (overkill)...

With a driver for HD 4xxx cards, one could play all AmigaOS4.X games, without doubt...

Thanks for the info...
I have (right now) a totally silent Sam460ex system.

With an SSD and the passively cooled:

(Plus a slow completely silent case fan)

So, are there any single slot, passively cooled Warp3D-SI and Warp3D Nova graphics cards, that you/someone can recommend?
