Scoring in at slightly over 100 FPS in Quake III Arena, the Kyro II beats the GeForce 2 GTS by 5%. It also beats the comparatively priced GeForce2 MX by 80% and the Radeon DDR by 24%. The performance of the card, even this early on into the testing, was enough to do more than just catch our eye. We were frankly shocked when we saw that the Kyro II based Hercules/Guillemot 3D Prophet 4500 performed better than the 64MB GeForce2 GTS and is priced almost $90 less. In fact, the Kyro II came within 11% of the powerful NVIDIA GeForce2 Pro.
As FSAA is a hot topic (as usual) I think I'll give another clip for ya:
Of the cards that could make it up to 1024x768x32 with FSAA 4x enabled, the Kyro II once again comes out on top. Beating the GeForce2 Ultra by 25%, the Kyro II is extremely fast.
