Best graphics solution for an A2000.

Even with 060, Zorro 2 is slooooooooooooow..

(Ok, its not so bad if you run WB in 8 colors with no background image).

That's BS. :-P My cards benchmark almost identical whether Z2 or Z3, a least with normal size screenmodes. 1024x768 or 800x600 (16-bit) is plenty fast. Backdrops load and pop on the screen instantly. Cybergraphics drivers do slow down WB, at least here with either PIV or CV643D and Z2 (slow redraw).

I agree the Picasso II is a nice card, it would make a good pair with an Indivision (rumor is Jens is releasing an A500/A2000 version). Personally I use a CV64/3D+SD in my A2000, it's a nice combo, but the scandoubler doesn't work with all accelerators. (Some introduce nasty interference on the 28MHz signal, eventually b0rking the picture. No problem with my TekMagic and a shielded cable, though.) Also, the CV64/3D scandoubler doesn't flicker-fix.

You will find that phase 5 cards work better with CGX 4 than P96:  I've used both RTG systems on both a CV-3d and a CV 64 and CGX is faster, smoother than P96 (on an A4000)

For some reason, CGX drivers are _dog slow_ with the CV64/3D in the A2000 for WB. Window and backdrop redraw especially. P96 is very fast in comparison, but has its own annoying quirk - the cgx emulation is bugged, rendering most RTG demos a slideshow. :/
