CyberVision64 GFX card question

[duesi]

Hi Mell, I've got a CV64-3D with 4 megs, NEC Multisync FE700 monitor and 1024x768 24 bit looks a little funky on my machine. No trouble at all using 1024x768 16 bit. Best regards...Art

I have the 4MB Version too. (Funky in 1024x768 24Bit) that's right.. Is there a way to come around that ?
I also use 16 Bit Mode all the time. Somebody got a Monitor File with fully working 24 Bit Mode ? BTW I use CGX V4 latest Version..

@artman, duesi:

Both the CV64 and CV64/3D has a max pixelclock of 50MHz at 24-bit which is not enough to be able to create a non-interlaced 1024x768 screenmode. Even a 50Hz 1024x768 screen requires a ~56MHz pixelclock. Also, those cards doesn't even manage the specified 50MHz pixelclock without distortions in the image, you will have to settle for a few MHz lower - the highest usable resolution at 24-bit would be 800x600 at about 70Hz.

I would definately recommend not using 24-bit if you want a snappy feeling as these cards give the overly best acceleration at 8-bit.
