It looks like more than a couple of the posters in this thread have done some testing with CGX4 and P96 to support their claims of better performance on a particular graphics card or another.

If someone will point me to where I can download some testing software that will give results that prove which graphics software is faster than the other, I will do some testing on different cards that I own and post the results.  If a few others here do the same, we can compile a list of graphics cards and the test results under both CGX4 and P96.

The graphics cards that I own and can test are:

CyberVision 8mb
PicassoIV
PicassoII
GVP Spectrum
RetinaZ3

I recently tried to get CGX4 installed on my A3000T w/RetinaZ3 but could not get a display, so switched to P96 and it worked the first try.

To make the results consistent, I suggest that we all test on OS3.9 and use the same monitor and settings each time.

I know that each of us will be using a different monitor, so perhaps for testing purposes we should just use the low end, generic VGA settings to get a fair comparison across all cards and both graphics software systems.

Is anyone else interested in doing this comparison testing?
