Hi,
I am considering upgrading the graphic card in my computer. I have
read that most of the 32-bit graphic modes are in reality 24-bit
anyway, but that some cards offer true 32 or 30 bit colour modes
(e.g. Matrix Parhelia). Does anybody please know more?
1) is there an advantage in working in 32 or 30 bit mode? I mean,
it affects only the display of the image (I often work with RAW
files which have more colours than 24 bits JPGs). Is it helpful in
some way, is the image more truthful or easier to edit?
2) what cards have this support? I am mainly considering an older
cards, as I don't need any superb graphic workstation cards in
order of 1000 Euro, nor do I need a fancy 3D acceleration - I don't
play games, or if I do, they are emulated ZX Spectrum ones <g>).
thanks
Good light!
