Fastest NUBUS video card I know of is the Radius Thunder IV 1600, good luck
finding one. Alot of that speed is from the built in DSP chips that
accelerate photoshop. I have the plain supermac thunder IV without the DSP
addon board and its not faster then the built in video on my Q950 for normal
video (the built in video doesnt use the nubus bus so its faster then just
about any addon board for normal video)
The fastest 68k upgrade to a nubus non PPC mac would be a Rocket 68040/40
(or maybe a 50) nubus card.
With either one of these options your transering data through the nubus slot
which reminds me of the old ISA slots on PC's (SLOW AS HELL)
