One for 680x0 experts - move16 issues...

[Framiga]

forgot to mention . . .mine is a

68060 @ 60 Mhz (ram settings>60ns)

CVPPC @ 92 Mhz (Permedia active cooled)

My CSPPC its a very early 604e 150 Mhz OC at 200 Mhz. (the model with NO RAM Precharge settings enabled)

EDIT- and remember that there are 2 different models of CVPPC, that uses different VRAM chips.

Hmm. There is that.

BTW, do you find your overclocked P2 that much faster?

[Framiga]

to be honest .  . .not so much :-)

Some benchmarks here and there but for the everyday use . . .  i don't see it.

Another note . . .due my very old IIyama 21", i'm forced to use rather low frequencies rates (about 50Khz horizontal and 65 Hz vertical)

For the above reason, i think that my P2 is running very very . . . . quite (don't know if the exact definition)

[Karlos]

Depending on the pixelclock, your lower frequencies might mean that you have more memory bandwidth left for the graphics core :-)

-edit-

Unless like me, you insist on using nothing less than 1280x960x16-bit for anything :-D

[Framiga]

unfortunately 1024x768 16 bit here :-(

1120x900 only for ProStationAudio . . . as i said, its a very, very old chaps :-(

Idek IIYama MF5121 (2 identical monitors, give me as a gift by a relative of mine).

They were used on a sort of "custom printing workstation", in 1990.

I know . . .time to replace them but . . . no money now for at least a 19" (21" monitor addiction)

To be fair, I say that's a good resolution. It doesn't consume too much VRAM and workbench isn't anywhere near as wasteful of screenspace (well save the non off-screen dragging of windows for OS.3x without a patch like PowerWindows) as many other OS's that fill every spare pixel with eyecandy.

I am yet to do a proper study of how write bandwidth to the VRAM of these cards (also blitting etc) is affected (if at all) by the resolution.

-edit-

Damn, am I a boring bugger or what? :lol:

[Framiga]

oh, just for curiosity.

Would be possible, to write (you obviously) sort of AvailP96 thing for CGX?

Would be useful . . or not? :-)

EDIT- i've already an "very original, unique" name in mind . . . AvailCGX . . . :-D

[Karlos]

I could look into it, I suppose :-)

-edit-

How about a generic P96 / CGX one, AvailVRAM ?

[Framiga]

:-D

ah OK . . . so no royalties for me!

OK anyway :-)

[Karlos]

How did move16 problems become Avail(RTG|CGX|VRAM)?

Only on amiga.org :-D

Also forgot to mention some stuff:
My 604e is a 200MHz model and the CyberStormPPC itself is the earlier model with no RAM precharge option. Other than that - my RAM-settings are set to the lowest latency for both the 060 and the 604e. The CyberVisionPPC is not clocked.

...and for those of us still wondering what precharge is, see here ;-)
