CV64/3D vs CV64

Right... I was planning on picking up a CV64/3D for my A3K but on stumbling upon another topic I am now not so sure. What I want to know is will the Amiga screens (via Ambra) be redirected to the CV64/3D saving the need for a monitor switcher? Does the CV64 have this option? Are any WarpGL games (eg Freespace) compatible with the CV64/3D? And if so are they playable? And finally is the performance of the CV64/3D really that bad? I am not sure which of the two to go for if any. Would I be better off picking up another Picasso IV instead?

Wonder what Brian & Patrik says about this  :lol:

Guess those guys are the exeperts  :-)

Have an A4000 '060 with a CV64 3D here with CybergraphX V3 (V4 on the way to me) latest Warp GL installed.
Have sucessfully got Nighlong running and Quake I.
Haven't got freespace running yet, only get an error message saying No ModeID selected from the Freespace GUI after the Hyperion intro is finished, the system error code is 8000000B (freespace.exe).
Might be that I'm not using the latest CybergraphX.

Without the CV3D scandoubler there's no redirection possible with the CV3D. And with a scandoubler already in place on the A3000 it would be silly to get another one and bypass the builtin for this reason. Also the CV3D scandoubler would have to be moddifyed to fit the shorter graphicslot on the A3000. So for the saving of a monitor switch this is not the option. Going for the CV64 card you would save the need for a monitorswitch but I can't say if 3D software support it since it lack 3D hardware. Can't speak for the PIV at all.

Wonder how Patrik will comment this  :lol:
We are eager to hear his reply... :-D

My A4000 had a Micronik scandoubler in the video slot and a CV64 in the top zorro III slot before I re-aranged everyting, now using a CV64 3D.
