Fastest 3D card on Amiga

@Atheist

Yes it is very confusing.


I'm bidding for a 9250 with 256MB, 128bit memory, Core 240Mhz, Memory 400Mhz. AGP 2x, 4x, 8x.

Does anyone know if work has started on 3D support for better cards, e.g. the 9800 or Radeon X800+? Or will this be done after the graphics subsystem has had its overhaul?

To be honest, I don't see much point in developing drivers for the newer cards before the graphics system has been replaced. The down side to that is that we won't see support for newer cards for a while.

Ok my new gfx card is on the way.

It is a 9250 128bit, 256MB memory, 240/400Mhz. I'll let you know.

I expect that MorphOS developers must have had more time to spend on 3D drivers, and therefore had more time to solve the issues with 8500 and 9100 cards.

There are 4 people responsible for MorphOS 3D, although I'm not sure what other parts they work on.

AFAIK only Hans-Joerg and Thomas work on Warp3D and we know they have plenty of other responsibilities.

They are moving from Warp3D to OpenGL, and drivers for faster cards will come after that.

The indicator comes in the LE and SE editions of the cards. I've affectionately named these the LoserEdition and the StupidEdition. It's not an insult to the users of these cards, but to the fact they are both noticable slower 64 bit versions and not the 128 bit bus versions. The SE and LE designation holds true for Nivida cards too. I'm sure manufactures have some other cool definition, but I like mine better.

How about Laidback Edition and Sedate Edition.

Sure why not. Others work well too. LameEdition and StrangledEdition come to mind.

Ok my 9250 128bit arrived.... changed it, booted normally and now 3D is faster!

I got 7-8 fps more than before on Quake3.

It aslo has 256Mb of gfx ram.
