PCI gfx card owners on Amiga, please l@@k

[Corrie]

Can I get some feedback from Amiga owners who have expanded with PCI slots and using a PCI gfx card on their Amiga? I would like to know how fast the Voodoo PCI gfx cards are on the Amiga? Does someone have a syspeed module they could make for me to compare? Could someone please give me a detailed rundown of the pros and cons of the PCI gfx cards on Amiga?

I have an Amiga 4000T, Cyberstorm 060 66mhz, 128mb ram, PicassoIV gfx card and 9gig scsi drive.
I have a 19" monitor and the picassoiv just isn't fast enough... thats why I am looking at a voodoo 5500 or something like that. Does it speed up Quake and Doom etc?

I have a BVisionPPC connected to my BlizzardPPC. I use 1024x768 16-bit color. One of the best things I have done to my Amiga 1200.
Mind you, the Permedia 2 is crap on 3D. Not enough fill-rate so a Voodoo 3 is obviously beter.

Maybe I will get myself a Grex with a Voodoo 3!!!
Who has one on this list???

So if you run the 060 version of Quake on your system, how does the blizzardvisionppc card go in performance?

What sort of software would support my 060 and take advantage of a 3d gfx card like the voodoo for example?

Probably not much. I don't know how fast a PicassoIV is but your CPU really will be the bottleneck with Quake and Quake 2.

Actually, GLQuake and Quake 2 will get a tremendous speed boost through Warp3D compared to the software only option of using a PicassoIV.

On my 50Mhz 68060, ClickBOOM Quake only becomes playable in a small-ish window with 2x2 pixels, however GLQuake gets reasonable frame rates in all modes from 320x240 right up to 1024x768 (640x480 being about the best mode to use on my setup).

Does GLQuake take advantage of the CybervisionPPC gfx card? I am really needing some more gfx speed... even surfing the web I would like to have some more speed.
