Hey all.. I am trying to figure out why CyberGraphX starts ghosting on the workbench at anything higher than 800x600. I tried playing around with CGX Mode but i'm not sure what i'm doing. Anyone else encounter this problem, it does it on both of my monitors.
-
Hmmm.....maybe you should send me your graphic cards for repair. ;-)
Oh and a keg of that fine, home brew too. I'm not cheap, you know. When I fix the cards, I'll send the empty keg back. :lol:
-
The issue is not related to Cybergraphx, but probably to the bad signal quality of the Permedia2. Maybe some better shielded VGA cable could make a small improvement, but don't expect wonders.
My BVision is ok at 1024x768, but 1280x1024 looks just horrible...

well, i'll be brewing a 5 gallon bucket of stout soon.. got an empty keg to put it in? hehe...
But seriously.. thanks for the reply guys.. it's a good high end sony monitor. I'm sure the cable is fine, but it's probably the chipset, since both monitors looked the same. What can I do but sit back and enjoy my Amiga! :-D

if the card is the CV643D (your signature), its 4MB of videoram are not enough for the higher resolutions at 24 bits.
Try to setup a 1024x768 @ 16 bit
-
It is 1024x768 @ 16bit. I tried 8 bit too.. Same thing.. :-?

I agree with humppa -
Seriously, if it's a dark outline next to high contrast areas like window borders, etc... Switch out that monitor cable for a true triple-shielded one with the ferrite rings near the connectors. As short of cable as you can fit, too. If you only need 2 feet, get a 2 foot one.
I know it sounds stupid, but it makes a huge difference in picture quality for poor signal cards like the CV64/3d. The pre-packaged cables for most everything are crap, nowadays. (Especially if the monitor has built-in DVI, the VGA cable is going to be garbage.)
I have no idea if this company is any good but this (http://store.pchcables.com/svulcawife.html) is the type of cable you're looking for.

I could try it. I have a dual input Sony.... one is permanently attached though.. :) It has ferrite rings on each end of the permanent one.. maybe I can isolate the cable so it's not in the jungle of cables on my desk too.. thanks for the idea..

Pssh. I like my idea of him just sending me his cards and a keg of beer!!! :madashell:
-
Like the other guys said: 99% it's the cable pan1k.
-
I disagree. Blurred vision ? Its the beer :lol:

:laughing:
OK, I lied. Please pass on the pitcher! :-D
