    Yes, yes! It looks really promising.
    Someday, we'll look back on this, laugh nervously and change the subject.

          Wait a minute, a closer reading reveals that the KyroII was benched on a Tb1200DDR and the GTS on a K7 classic 800. (don´t really know about the MX). Not fair.

          BTW, those are 32 bit results, so the MX should be hitting the memory bandwidth limit even on a K7 800...

            Heck, even Kyro (I) did outrun the MX in 32bit colors. And it was clocked at meagre 115 Mhz. Kyro II should just blaze past GF2 with no problems.

              Take a look at this english review:

              http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1435

              And read the part about internal 32-bit rendering. It's like the next step after VCQ we know from the G400.

                MX? heheh, where's MX with it's T&L?



                I know i am just raving now....
                In Unreal Tournament at 640x480x32, the Kyro II does what some would consider the undoable, especially for a card in the sub $150 price range: it beats the $340 GeForce2 Ultra.





                Woohoo!

                  Laalaa, and look at the fillrate:



                  The Kyro II, on the other hand, features what many would consider a lowly 350 megapixel per second fill rate. However, when the tests are run, the Kyro II scores a fill rate that is only 22 megapixels per second less than the GeForce2 Ultra. Coming out at 352.89 megapixels per second, the Kyro II's effective fill rate matches its effective fill rate, something we can not say about any other card on the market. According to the Serious Sam benchmarks, the Kyro II is actually 100% efficient.

                    Oh My!





                    And you could buy two KyroII's for the price of one GF2 ultra! I'd love to see the expression on the faces of those people with GF2 ultra reading this thinking they have got the bomb. No! Someone set them up the bomb!

                          G800 should turn out like this, only instead of GF2 GTS, it should beat Kyro II.
