Graphics Drivers
Which is better (or what are the diffs between)
CyberGraphX Picasso96 EGS My system is a A2000 with an 030 and 16MB of RAM, GVP Spectrum... I wanna know which one is the better system to install... And also what are the differences that I should look out for Edit: Oh... and running OS 3.9 Last edited by BinoX; 07 July 2007 at 21:07. Reason: Additional Info |

What makes you say Picasso is the best?
(Is use p96 on the voodoo3 in my 1200 and CGX on my 4000 with CVPPC) But I still can't tell which is better... |

*the better* would be perhaps the better way to put it.
my main reasons being that P96 has a lot of tools and is simple to install and setup. arguably cgfx is a little more configurable. but this only from my experience using cgfx 3.0 |

![]() I just had a funny 5 mins cursing at the machine when the gfx card wasn't working... then I remembered... I had to set the accelerators RAM into extended instead of using the autoconfig area.. oops @ me.. lol |

Binox, I'm glad you worked it out
![]() so it's not only me who thinks picasso96 feels somewhat snappier than cgfx4 ? (well at least with 030) |

@AMIGAZ
lol.. P96 is working great on mine, nice and fast ![]() Now if only I had something that I wanted to run on my A2000 lol...

@Binox
as a technical point I would be interested in seeing what EGS can do. after all the spectrum was one of the few if the only card that could do ALL the graphics modes ( CGFX / P96 AND EGS ) I have never seen egs, i would be curious about it personally. |

I found P96 the most user friendly.

OK.. an update...
Installed all of them and here are my (from a user perspective, not benchmark) views.. CGX(v4) and P96 seem to be similar in speed although CGX seems to be a little faster at 1024x768... EGS... well, it works, but it's not particularly fast, but it IS of course much faster than having just AGA(or ECG/OCS) rendered with their highest number of colours... So, unless you particularly need CGX... I'd say use P96, since it's basically free ![]() |

Windows are sluggish - everything feels slower compared to CGFX4. Also, I found Picasso96mode a nightmare compared to the CGFXMode program to setup new resolutions... looks like I'm stuck with P96 though, if I want to use the Mediator... Any ideas? I must admit, I have installed on a heavily modified system, but can't see any real reasons why P96 is being so slow. Steve |
