[CyberGraphics is a new "Workbench Emulation" system for several video
boards available for the Amiga. Since at the AR offices, we've been
unable to obtain a video board, I asked for some writeups on the system.
What I got were a LOT of benchmarks... -Jason]
Heard you are looking for infor on the Cybergraphics WB Emulation
software.. well here's my 2 cents worth.
I decided to check out the new Cybergraphics shareware software on my
Spectrum, and compare it to EGS 7.1. I used Intuispeed 1.5 and here are
the results. A few things I should mention though are that the second and
third tests were performed with NTSC LACE 8 colour WB screen for both
driver packages. The first test on the EGS was with a 1024x768x8 screen
and the first Cybergraphics test was with an 800x600x8 WB screen. Also
each time I tested the Cybergraphics drivers the test only seemed to work
in a 640x400 'box' in the top left corner, this may point out a bug in the
Cybergraphics driver or Intuispeed. If you have any comments or questions
please contact me at skipper@io.org. BTW I failed to mention all the
tests were performed on the same machine with a 2Mb GVP EGS Spectrum in
ZIII mode. I should also add I was pleased with how well Cybergraphics
seems to perform and only found one program that conflicts with it,
IPrefs2Fast.

[And Wartmann's contribution, using a Picasso II board. "VT-Emu" is the
Village Tronic Picasso software.]
Hi,
I've tryed a little bit with CyberGFX:
256 Colors, same Resolution :
MaxonCAD, Big A1-drafting, complete redraw :
CyberGFX VT-Emu
12s 15,5s
PageStream 3.0d, whole A4-Side with 3 BitMaps + text :
8s 7s
The menus under CyberGFX are *much* faster than with VT-Emu or Intuition.
I couldn't resist to do a benchmark with Intuispeed :
Computer : A2000 A2630 2MB 4MB-16Bit, 25 MHz
Graphic Board : Picasso II with VT WB-Emu (2.56), 2 MByte RAM

There is one thing which troubles me : The slow screen switching under
CyberGFX. Under VT-Emu it's nice to mix 2-16 color screens with 256 color
screens with the advantage to switch fast between the low-colored screens.
Often I dont need any high-color screen for my actual work.
There is a light ! Speed is *NOT* all. It's much more important for me
that I can write Software for our A4000 with GVPSpectrum and it runs under
my own Picasso as well.
