(debatable and dated digressions deleted)
FYI CyberGraphX software runs on most of the cards so developers
only have to support its 16 and 24 bit extensions and their software will run
across multiple graphics cards. These cards are not chip-ram dependent.
You get a whole new set of display modes to choose from and combine on
different screens simultaneously. It's pretty slick.
LightWave animators using Amigas should check out CyberGraphX on
their choice of display card with programs like ImageFX2.1a, ProVector 3,
World Construction Set and Impact. Multiple dragable screens, multiple
color depths, multiple resolutions, all simultaneously.
Has anyone tried the CyberGraphX plugins for LW 4? How well do they
