Do you mean an Indivision AGA or a BlizzardVision PPC?  Because unless you towerize the thing and go with a Mediator-type option, those are the only two cards for a desktop A1200.  If the former, AmigaKit.  If the latter, ebay.  Good luck on that one, though!  :p

Edit: I suppose some people would consider a DCTV to be a graphics card, that would also work with an A1200...  LOL.  Depends what you want to do though?  Run CGX/P96 and play RTG games, or just use a modern monitor, or be able to display 24-bit images?

This was always one of the 3rd party hardware that never really got done right on the A1200, and if they had it would been a huge seller.  Would have made some of the latter software like Photogenics, ImageFX, Cinema 4D/ Lightwave/ Imagine and even Wordworth Office and Finalwriter so much nicer to use.

A million A1200 accelerators, RAM cards, hard drives but graphics cards as rare as hen's teeth.

I still think the 1200 should have received a towerless GFX card if possible. AGA is cool and all, but has its limits.

The IndiVision-AGA is a scandoubler/flickerfixer. It doubles the Amiga's 15Khz RGB output to 31Khz for display on a modern CRT, TFT or LCD PC monitor. It's not a graphics card...

I know that, but a lot of people refer to it as a "graphics card" because it enhances the Amiga's video output.  It was clear the OP didn't have a clue what they were asking for so I sought clarification. AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!

Yeah, I know what you mean. Some "Amigans" don't know what they're talking about. Leaving those who do know what they're talking about in utterly confusion... :insane:
