Cybervision 3d is the best choice but 200 bucks!

[BIG-IRON]

OK so it looks like the cybervision card is the best choice but oh lord the price for an ancient piece like that! id give a hundred for it no problem, is there another card that would fit the bill? and still fit in a 3000 case?

I checked, I have a CV64-3D I can sell you for $140 including shipping if you are interested. I'd still recomend going with a Prometheus/Voodoo combo, but it's your choice:-)

Or if you want to wait I'll put it up on eBay in a few days. Maybe you can get it for less..

$140 isnt too bad.. I bought a CV64 4meg (no 3d) a while back.. for some reason it seemed as people prefferred the non-3d version at the time?


Big-Iron: since you're into cars..check out my website.. www.BartonekDragRacing.com

SOLD AMERICAN! I sent you en email via ebay about the sale. I will also send you en email about how to contact me via phone.

Oh my... I sold a CV3D about a month ago for 60$... but then I'm not here to skin ppl. :roll:

[BIG-IRON]

...can I cry now............Im always a day late I tell ya.

@TheMagicM:

They probably preferred the CV64 because it is faster in most aspects and the 3d-support of the CV64/3D isnt of much use as it is extremely slow and very limited.

60 dollars or 60Eur? Either way, that's cheap. Post one here for that price and see people climb over themselves asking for it:-)

I just sent you an email. Since we are on opposite coasts I will mail it Priority mail, and you may even get it Saturday(if payment is made soon enough). I have to go into the office tonight, so I could process it for tomorrow shipping.

It was actually 500SEK or 66USD to be exact. I don't find it to be very cheap but fair. It's old second hand hardware that could die in a few month who knows? And it is "just an S3Virge" card after all.

If one wants to then the Amiga second hand market is ideal to skin ppl (there's a bigger demand than products available and the amount of products available are small enough that some can buy big quantitys thus artificially keeping the price up).

Where is the community I once knew where everyone tried to help each other out best they could and not just trying to milk their fellow Amigans for every penny their worth? Sadly the way the things are going less and less ordinary kids/ppl can afford a decent system and that makes for a shrinking community. :-(

@Brian

I assume you are trying to take a jab at me. Go ahead enjoy yourself. The simple fact is I am attempting to run a business, one which has been bleeding red terribly on the Amiga side since day one.

This is the funiest thing I have heard lately.

(there's a bigger demand than products available and the amount of products available are small enough that some can buy big quantitys thus artificially keeping the price up).

What product might that be? Really, I'd like to know! I must be doing it all wrong! :laugh:

He has a point red, I remember some years back selling stuff cheep to help people out and knowing that someone else would do the same for me on the amiga hardware I wanted, that doesn't happen no more basically because the sort of community has now collapsed.

The amiga community is basically just a load of {bleep}s arguing over peg/a1 now.

I am looking for a Cybervision 64 NON 3D for one of my A4000's actually.  This card is great for the ZIII Amigas.  Anyone one for sale under $150?

[Hyperspeed]

If I was buying a big-box Amiga a nice graphics card there'd be only
one thing on my mind: Picasso-IV.

Made by Village Tronic as a 4mb update to the their 2mb Picasso-II
this highly sought after card has soundcard adaptor, TV in/capture and
a video out module.

Things didn't get better than this for Amiga. Not even the CyberVision
PPC betters this because basically Phase5 hated ECS/AGA and made you
buy a monitor switcher and forget about your early-startup etc.

With Picasso-IV you get video capture, soundcard and the ability to
output to a TV as well as the best damn flicker-fixer with AGA
pass-thru in the world!

As for people who are using Voodoo cards on a PCI-bus... is that
really how you want your Amiga to go?

You get super fast 2D, very little 3D and to hell with the actual
Amiga goodness that is it's video capability.

Go Picasso!

[BIG-IRON]

Yea but who has a picasso that will sell it? I havent seen one on ebay in ages. As for wether Im being cheated Id say no, I rationalize it like I do my muscle car fetish. I have the cash its a hobby and if the stuff is scarce it costs both me the end user and the guy who bought it in the first place, the dealer needs to make some profit I need the piece and we meet some where in the middle Im happy. If it was to much he would have it for years and it would collect dust and I would buy it elsewhere. It would be nice if all people were altruistic but this is reality I dont build Hemi Cudas for free and I dont expect others too either. Now being that this is a capitalistic society someone else is free to offer me the same or better product for a better price and I would take it but we will see how many people in the "Amiga community" step up.
