Amiga graphics card

[nscaleworld]

Get an Indivison ECS, there are even Picasso96 drivers for it.

Not worth the $106.00 plus shipping that you would have to pay for one.

With Picasso96 fakenative mode I could get some 30 - 40% of my games to play on PicassoIV screen. Not F1GP which I hoped most.

Interesting. How can I get fakenative to display through Mediator/Voodoo?

[zipper]

Don't know if it works on Voodoo, principally you have to set  a tooltype (was it fakenative=yes) and remove PAL/NTSC from the Monitors . Check the docs.

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".

All you have to do is download this package, move the monitor driver to devs/monitors

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?]

The RTGMaster is really, really buggy...

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.

Hi thanks for your answer i have been looking on ebay and such ,they are quite expensive around 200 dollars for a merlin graphics card and picasso

Amiga graphics cards are very rare these days. Dont bother with it if you mainly play games and you are satisfied with low color (less than 64) Workbench. On the other hand if you want to do something more serious stuff on Amiga then graphics cards are must. They dont offer only more colours and better resolutions but graphics also is much faster than using native Amiga display modes.

RTGMaster has never been buggy on my two A4000T's and A2500HD; I use it in OS 3.9 & OS 4.1 without problems.

[RuneQ, I've had 2 black male Maine Coons in the past 32 years and they were great!]

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

Thanks i will try that

I've seen quotes of Frame Per Second, but there are a lot of factors that play into those numbers and it comes down to what you consider playable on your system

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.

I think there were some numbers on doom on an a600 with aca630 and indi ECS, can't remember where though.
