Here's hoping for the G800...

[BryceMan]

I just finished reading SharkyExtreme's preview of the new PowerVR Kyro card. There are some _very_ interesting benchmark results in there. I seem to remember hearing a hint of a rumor that Carmack mentioned that Matrox had "solved the bandwidth problem." This would probably be the best way to do so. Here's hoping that tile-based rendering is the "surprise" feature of the G800...

Tile-based rendering can not solve the bandwidth problem.....

From SharkyExtreme:

"To check the KYRO's image quality we compared it with a GeForce 2 GTS, a card that is known for its high image quality."

Unfortunately Carmack's latest .plan update was 3 months ago... I hope that this 'Carmack rormour' is true, but I WANT TO SEE it myself!
