I just have checked. Both options change nothing. If I choose any RTG resolution and even test it i have "no signal"

Little update:

I have connected another monitor BenQ bl912. When i tested resolution 800x600 i had test screen. When I have changed it to 1024x768 shows nothing, if i get back 800x600 also got nothing and i Can't force it to show something anymore.

Not easy to say from where your issue comes. You could double check the cabling or test with the hdmi amplifier ( EXTERNAL LINK ). You could also try to fine tune your screenmodes with Picasso96mode program. Use some program to get correct initial values where to start adjusting, e.g. CVT 1.2 ( EXTERNAL LINK ). You can enable also Overclock -tooltype in Monitor icon, if needed.

Are these changes in the current V500 or V600 2.12R3 release

No, they can't. The increased cache size just doesn't fit the smaller FPGAs used in the V500 and V600. The improved long-word write speed is only possible on a 32 bit chipmem bus. The only Amigas with a 32 bit chipmem bus are the A1200, the A3000 and the A4000.

Yes, these things are only possible with the V1200 hardware.

I have already tried to use picasso96mode with no result. Cables are ok for sure because all is working  fine under 2.11 core.
Thanks for your support Simo. I think I'm going to wait for final core version and then will try one more time.

Have you reinstall the SAGA driver 1.7.1 and installed for the 2.12 core?

I have installed SAGA 1.7.1 some time ago and didn't reinstall it after core update. I didn't think that should help.

Backup is not possible, but you can download it from Apollo Accelerators Wiki:

Nope, it's not that. I also checked installer script. Looks like in that part installer only copy "vampiregfx.card" in version for 2.11 or 2.12. I have already tried with both by copying it manually..

You should use vampiregfx.card 1.29 (01.01.20) with Gold212RC3 from its package: EXTERNAL LINK

Does this core disable the clock port on the A1200 motherboard? A couple of italian guys after having installed it had their rtc module not working anymore.
My V1200 still has the original cora and the rtc is working properly.
