'''CyberGraphX''' (pronounced "cybergraphics"), is the standard [[ReTargetable Graphics]] [[Application programming interface|API]] available for the [[Amiga]] and compatible systems.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Thieullet|first=Cyrille|date=October 1995|title=Comparatif des cartes graphiques, Cinq cartes sous la loupe|language=fr|magazine=AmigaNews|publisher=NewsEdition|issn=1164-1746|issue=83|pages=26–28}}</ref> It was developed by Thomas Sontowski and Frank Mariak and later adopted by [[Phase5]] for use with their graphics cards. Many other graphics card manufacturers who offered hardware for Amiga and compatible systems used it as well.

== Versions ==
The latest version is CyberGraphX V5 used in [[MorphOS]]. Its features include:

* [[AltiVec]] accelerated
* [[Display Data Channel]] (DDC) and [[gamma correction]] support
* [[Hardware acceleration|Hardware accelerated]] operations for [[alpha blending]], [[tint]]ing, [[gradients]], stretching
* [[PowerPC]] native, with support for [[AmigaOS]] drivers

The original CyberGraphX software for AmigaOS is no longer actively maintained (last version being CyberGraphX V4<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Veitch|first=Nick|date=January 1999 |title=CyberGraphX 4|magazine=Amiga Format |publisher=Future Publishing|issn=0957-4867|issue=119|pages=52}}</ref>). CyberGraphX V4 was the last release for that platform so far. [[AROS Research Operating System|AROS]] implements CyberGraphX V4 compatible API. Alternative RTG APIs are [[ReTargetable Graphics#Picasso 96|Picasso 96]] and [[ReTargetable Graphics#EGS and other early graphics card drivers|Enhanced Graphics System]], the first is used in [[AmigaOS4]] and implements the CyberGraphX V4 API with some V5 extensions.<!--contradiction!?-->

== Dual monitor support ==
* AGP-Radeon + PCI-Radeon: fail
* AGP-Radeon + PCI-Voodoo: ok (Apple [[Open Firmware]] only)
* AGP-Voodoo + PCI-Voodoo: unknown
* AGP-Voodoo + PCI-Radeon: ok

Up to 2560×1600 running on [[Dual-link DVI]], for example a Radeon 9650 with 256 MB
