Amiga - better graphics because of worse monitors? You can always make a comparison via emulation. Test the same game in DOSBOX and WinUAE at 1:1 scaling and with no image enhancements.

It wasn't hard like 5 years or more ago. Now it has pretty much dried up. Whatever pops up now it's expensive.

I noticed this too - not now but a few years ago. A few months ago I got negative feedback by a satisfied buyer :lol: He even sent me a message that he wasn't able to select positive button and only negative was possible.

This looks like a vga card problem. Also try it in other PCI slots just in case.
