S3 Virge vs. Voodoo3 actual 2D speed and quality

With OS 3.9 and cybervision64/3d is it better to use picasso96 v2.1b or cybergraphix v4

I use P96 on my CV64/3D with AmigaOS 3.9 and it is flawless. I hear that CyberGFX 4 works very well also except for ZII mode where P96 seams to be faster. Otherwise, they are about equal speed. Generally people recommend CyberGFX 4 for P5 gfx boards. I think the CyberGFX 4 support for the original Cybervision 64 may be better although I have used P96 with good results on that board also. There is a P96 v2.1c with some updated drivers and libraries that I use:

One more question.

With OS 3.9 and cybervision64/3d is it better to use picasso96 v2.1b or cybergraphix v4

On my A4000 CGX 4 was more difficult to set up and install (I remember getting a black  screen on initial installation and had to muck about with it, you have to install the latest rev6 updater), but once installed it felt more Amiga-like: the pointer moved more smoothly, icons didn't flicker when dragged like they did in P96.  Speed wise CGX felt a bit snappier than P96.  With a CV64, IMO its no contest: CGX provide the best overall experience, and the Roxxler support ( i THINK it was due to the Roxxler) meant that I could rotate, zoom, move wire frame model in Cinema4D in real time, which never worked for me with P96.

Permedia 2 (Bvision) also has high performance,but it only works here on my setup.

Only one 3D PPC game showed true performance @1024x768 with little or no difference when changing screenmode from 800x600 to 1024x768.

Hopefully the next upgrade will fix this where all remaining 3D PPC games will show better performance using @1024x768. Until the next fix is in place all PPC 3D games works @800x600 as standard.

Permedia 2 250Mhz Ramdac,memory 116Mhz (standard) 130Mhz (BETA).

Thanks , will try CGX on the CV643d.

@Matthey

I has an older version of P96 on the a3000 (for a picasso II) and the CV64/3D was very slowwwwww

I tired both CyberGraphx V4.6 and P96 v2.1c both worked very well both were much quicker.  
Thanks
