I asked about the possibility of Heretec 2 and Shogo getting fixed for OS4. I think the license for Heretetic 2 has also expired but was told that the one for Shogo should still be valid.

Is it so that there is no 3D support for Sam Flex and Radeon HD? Or has anyone get one of these work with Sam Flex Radeon HD7000, R7 series and R9 series?

I'd assume that if an HD7750 doesn't work then neither will R7 or R9. Hope uboot gets an update that fixes this.

I'm bit a worried about PCI->PICIe adapter anyway, but 3D support for Radeon 5000/6000 might take some time.

The PCI versions of 5450 etc use a PCI-PCIe bridge so it's the same setup as the adapters but without the need of a separate card.

The main reason for using the adapter is that you get access to more powerful cards.

The current Southern Islands Warp3D driver supports Radeon HD7000, R7 series and R9 series.

Han's website lists compatible cards here.

http://hdrlab.org.nz/projects/amiga-o ... r-hardware-compatibility/

Radeon HD7750 is available in low profile and can still be bought from some places online. You shouldn't have to look too hard.

There are a few low profile R7 250 cards but you need to confirm that it has the Cape Verde core. I found one such card.

My R9 280 developed a fault recently and I had to send it back for a replacement unfortunately the card has been discontinued so I had to get a different card.
I had to spend another £15 but manged to get and MSI 280 with a core clock of 933Mhz as apposed to 850mhz of the Sapphire.

I'll run these tests again before updating the drivers so I we can see the difference the extra 83mhz makes.

@noXLar

I'm unable to use my X1000 at the moment to make a a step by step guide but it's fairly simple to do with AmiDVD. You could even make a bootable snapshot of your current Workbench partion which is even better that having a modified OS4 ISO since it will have everything you installed yourself too.

I've done that before too.

Surely bus/bandwidth is better on AMCC for this value - so that needs investigating to improve on future systems.

The newer AMMC PowerPC SOCs only scale to 1.3Ghz.

The LSI Axxia PowerPC SOCs look much more interesting on paper. They scale as high as 1.8Ghz on a 4 core SOC and the 476fp core is rated at 2.7 DMIPs per Mhz. It also has bigger L2 cache than the 465 cores as well as large L3 cache.
It also has a SIMD unit although I'm not sure if this is Altivec/VMX* although it would make sense for IBM to have designed a a new vector unit for the 476fp.
LSI don't specify what version of PCIe is used on there product pages but I did see a product breif that sugested that it was PCIe 3.0

A system based on that faster Axxia SOCs should be able to trounce the X1000 in every aspect.

Both the Axxia ACP3500 and ACP3400 have a 1295 pin/ball count so in theory should be able to use the same board for both. That would give a good range of speeds and cores. The 3500 can have 2 cores at 1.1Ghz, 2 cores at 1.26Ghz, 4 cores at 1.26Ghz and 6 cores at 1.26Ghz while the 3400 can have 2 cores at 1.6Ghz or 4 cores at 1.8Ghhz

*VMX is IBM's name for Altivec.

So, in Cow3D Sam460+HD7750 146fps (PCIe v2 x4)

@eliyahu xkernel on X5000 or vanilla exec with debug?

I'm pretty sure that I read that only the xkernel is running on X5000.

I haven't seen ragemem results for the X5000 but I suspect that the video bus test results are much higher than the X1000. I'm not sure if the X1000 bus can be made to go faster by tweaking/updating the BIOS like with the Sam boards.

i haven't yet since i did a clean OS install at the same time upgrading gpu card, I guess i would run into this problem when changing gpu card in the future. it should be a way to unload or uninstall gpu card drivers or something.

You could build a new OS4 iso with the current RadeonHD driver included. You should also be able to include Warp3D, assuming that the installer script copies drawers rather than files on an individual basis.

A-EON are now the owners of Amiga.org and Amigaworld.net sending the paranoid even more paranoid.

They have also bought the rights to various Amiga apps for further development on Amiga systems. So far they have released an OS4 native version of Personal Paint along with an updated 68k version. ImageFX, OctaMED and Aladdin4D will also get native and updated releases.

The Odyssey web browser was ported from MorphOS and now you can watch youtube videos in your browser.

Amiboing have released a few more games. Battle Squadron was remade for OS4 and MorphOS and we have a new developer, Cherry Darling who have been busy making games too.

MorphOS now runs on Sam460 so the Pegasos2 is no longer the only system that can run both.

@328gts

2D driver is the same. You just swap the card out. The Warp3D driver can be installed before or after you swap cards over because the HD7000 series card isn't dependent on the Warpd3D drriveer being installed.

@slcroucher

Kipper2K makes RAM boards with a CF adapter built in. You can have either 4MB or 8MB and are very reasonably priced.

http://kipper2k.com/a500fastmem.html

He also has a flashrom in the works which can hold 2 different ROMs.

http://kipper2k.com/kickstarts.html

An A500 accelerator is also planned which will use the Vampire 600 core and should give similar speed to a 68060 but will be fairly low price. No idea if this will fit in a CDTV or have the IDE capabilities or how long it will take before it's available but you could always send him an email.

If your CDTV is ECS then you could get the Indivision ECS scandoubler. It's not currently available at the moment though.

@klapdeur

I agree with who say you'll get more if you split it. Also sell it via Amibay, you don't have to pay any charges for selling there. It's not an auction site so you sell the item at fixed price but you can use the site to research what the average price is for your hardware.
