"CRT Smudge-o-Vision" - ha, that is a good word for it. CRT spots have a nice Gaussian bell-curve intensity profile, and when you overlap the raster lines slightly, it is a nice smoothing effect. Discrete pixels, on the other hand, will have aliasing artifacts which need filtering.
For BG III, I am more worried about my computer's graphics system which uses the internal main processor ... I do not have an external graphics card. Man, some of those new graphics cards have such big fans on them, I think you could probably tape a battery on there and fly them around as drones. I don't really care about Forgotten Realms lore, or the official Gorion's Ward story, or anything like that. I just want coin-on-edge, single-player D&D. And the City of Brass (expansion).
