Recommend a gfx card for an old A2000

I would avoid old cards with old chips like picasso2 or GVP spectrum... Their blitter is too slow and you will notice it if you put them for example at 1024x768 and 16bits. In addition to that the graphic chip can't set up screens of high refresh rates if you use more than 256 colours.

Just a correction if I may concerning the GVP Spectrum and Picasso II. The chipset of those cards (Cirrus Logic GD5426/28) is incapable of running at 1024x768 in 16 Bit non interlaced, it's just a limitation of the chipset. You are also wrong about the refresh rates. I am currently running my GVP spectrum in 800x600 16 Bit @ 72Hz non interlaced and everything on my A4000 runs quite pleasantly. I've even had it up to 85Hz in that mode and things still ran quite well though things were a bit slower.

That said I'd still recommend a 4MB graphics card for the Amiga any day. Personally I'd love to have a CV643D but am not in the current financial position to buy one at this time.
