Help needed with videocards (Amiga ofc)

[Shoghi]

Hi!

I have rummaged around different amiga sites (like www.amiga-hardware.com) and found no adequate information regarding my problem. I have some partial infos but more needed to make a good move buying a graphics card for my A4000 desktop.

Could someone tell me what video cards are able to the following:

- can pass through native amiga modes (AGA modes also in my case) to its 15 pin VGA header
- can do it scan-doubled so I could use my 21" inch VGA (capable of 30KHz on higher scan)

First of all: I don't want to buy a scandoubler so I really need to know what video cards are able to do that.

I already know that Cybervision 64/3D is able to do that with an optional module - unfortunately I didn't know anything about that 'optional' thing when I bought it and it's already on it's way to me (arghh). There is a Retina BLT Zorro3 card available also but I need your opinions first.

Someone told me that the Picasso IV is such a card I seek however after the Cybervision fiasko I want to make sure that my next buy will be statisfying.

Thanks for any help.

Ok. I have just realised that this topic is for introductions. Sorry.  :-D

Thank You for the quick answer.

I was always confused about this "flicker fixer" and "scandoubler" stuff because some say I need the first to use my amiga on a VGA while others folks say the second one is what I need. Is a "flicker fixer" actually a "scan-doubler"? As for the Picasso IV the www.amiga-hardware.com says that it has a built in "flicker fixer" but never mentions the "scan-doubler" nor the possibility of attaching it to a 31KHz capable VGA.

Thank you for everyone for helping me out! So it turns out that a flicker fixer is actually a scandoubler also. Good to know. I think I will go for the Picasso IV. :-D

Does anyone know if the Cybervision 64/3D (with it's ScanDoubler module installed) is able to put a flicker-free picture on the screen by any means (jumper settings etc)? There are loads of contradictory infos on the net concerning this question and nowhere I was able to find a confident answer. Some sites are describing the 64/3D scandoubler module as if it would have a flicker fixer function while others never mentioning it. Help!  :-?
