Why would a 150 Euro SD/FF be better than a 250 Euro full RTG Gfx card/SD/FF?

Indivision provides rock solid super-hires screens. PicassoIV just skips some columns. It's quite noticeable in some demos but it's not very important if you are not interested in demoscene

Do many demos use SuperHighRes screens though?


There are some that use static super-hires ham8 screens (TBL's captured dreams for example, Rain too IIRC). Other less frequent effect uses one super-hires pixel for each RGB component and picassoIV*just shows rubbish but I just have seen a pair of "experiments" that used that mode.

PicassoIV still has some advantages on CRT monitors as you can raise AGA refresh to 100Hz easily. I prefer Indivision but PicassoIV flickerfixer is very good.
