Amiga graphics card

[runequester]

For gaming, it's mostly not worth it. There were some games that will use it (Napalm, Quake and a few others) and a few games had RTG patches, but they are generally all "late" amiga games.

For general day to day use, it can be cool, if you find a cheap one. If you want a high resolution, 256+ colour workbench, it's generally the way to go (AGA can do 256 but it isn't fast)

Even if you get an RTG video card for "Productivity" (graphics, word processing, desktop publishing, etc), you can always fall back to a native Amiga graphic mode for "gaming."  I use my Amiga mostly for the former, but I have the software for the latter when I'm inclined.

Thanks It's our big cat "Scruffy".

Uh Dude, don't forget the RTGMaster system. It even works for OS 4.1 with a small fix.
 
[RuneQ, is Scruffy a Maine Coon?]

He is maine Coon, or at least mostly
He's got a weird stubby tail but otherwise he's a giant cat-beast.
 
Maybe we need a cat thread on here.

To be slightly more on topic, are there any benchmarks out there comparing something like Doom in AGA versus RTG ? Same processor and RAM obviously

[runequester]

yeah definately. It'd be nice to have something that was tested on the exact same system ,once under AGA and once under RTG, and see what we're actually dealing with though.
