I think that ANY screenmode that uses a graphics card in an Amiga makes a huge difference. I remember the day I got my Bvision..

Well, Im still stuck with that, so I use 1024x768 mostly, but that is still as sharp, fast and flicker-free as it ever was.

The indi is a amazing peice of hardware. Just need a config tool (Please Jens!!).

Also it has similar abilities to the Indi ECS so the driver that allows RTG on the ECS version should be possible to convert to the AGA mk2? ;-)

But Indivision relies on AGA and it never can be fast even though it makes crisper image. RTG on Amiga is crisp and FAST . And not to forget colorfulness too. For example IBrowse scrolls web pages with no problem on my Mediator/Voodoo3 in 1600x1200x16bit resolution. Smooth and fast.

Once you go RTG is kinda hard to go back to AGA

"Yes! You can believe it, because it is true."

I like the 1920 X 1080 native resolution of my monitor.
