Wanted: Graphics card for A3000
« on: June 19, 2012, 03:40:52 AM »
I'm looking for a graphics card to pop in my Amiga 3000.  A Retina Z3 or GVP Spectrum would be perfect (I missed the last of the Softhut new GVP's by a few weeks)

Yeah, either of those cards would work as well.  Although I have a feeling the PicassoIV will always be over my price range.  There were a few CV64's on Amibay a month or so ago and I passed on them when I probably shouldn't have as they were, comparatively speaking, rather cheap.

The only ones I want to avoid are the Retina Z2 due to software compatibility and speed and the Merlin because I hear it's rather flaky.

Hi, you may have looked on Ebay already, good luck with your search, sorry my Cybervision 64 is in use and not for sale.

Yeah, I looked, unfortunately the Opalvision is not a true RTG card and is of limited use and the other one is a PCI card and requires a PCI bridgeboard to use.  There is a GVP Spectrum on there but I'm not paying what he wants for it since the Softhut cards were $179 and were new.  He stated that GVP may do another run depending on the availability of parts.

I think I'm going to go with the CV64.  The price is right and it's one of the best RTG cards available.
