Hi,

The frame buffer size on Onyx2 RE is 1/2 the FBSize of an Onyx2 iR, So
So, you are fixing the FB size to 40MB (MAX) and trying to vary the
pixel depth. Did you try varying the resolution on the RE ??

On top of this the RM8s has upto 4 multisamples and has a very
"shallower" max pixel depth.

Hope this helps ....
