3D graphic card specific and recommended for SAM460EX
« on: June 19, 2015, 11:04:27 PM »
Amigans out there, I need your help in knowing which model of Radeon 3D card is used and recommended for a SAM460EX, AmigaOS4.1 FE, and to be supported by Southern Islands drivers.

I want to upgrade my original Radeon RV730 card for a 3D card, but I don't want to buy the wrong card; they are not cheap.

Thanks in advance for any help.

we had a discussion on this a while back; see if this thread is helpful to you. are there any requirements besides compatibility with W3D? do you require a single-slot card, for example? this visiontek 7750 might be just what you need: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814129263

Would this one work? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161418&cm_re=radeon_hd_7750-_-14-161-418-_-Product

I have added some pictures of my case and interior to give you all an idea of the space and components inside my system. Please see pictures at this link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7lra4anyz5vhffp/AABuvWOpDCqINBpVQSVlF-HZa?dl=0

Yes in that regard the Visiotek card previously mentioned would have an advantage.


Thank you all for your answers. I managed to find and bought VisionTek AMD Radeon HD 7750 SFF 1GB x16 PCIe (900549 Radeon HD 7750 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card), low profile.

Now I'll buy the SI drivers and wait to receive the card in about a week from now.

VERY cool.
That should kick ass.
A PCI-e Envy24 sound card and a PCI SATA card would round the whole thing out.

Thank you for the recommendations of additional hardware. I'd definitely take a look into those, as soon as my wife forgives me for this latest investment :hammer:
