    Kyro2 does it again.

    Just remember....When talking about particle effects (CS, for example), a traditional would suck up a lot of bandwidth in order to perform such operations...The Kyro2 has it all stored in local memory before it gets written out to the framebuffer; therefore, it does indeed reduce bandwidth...

    Kyro2 does it again.

    Exactly...Who gives a crap if the max FPS jump up to 200 FPS, if the min FPS reach 20? All you want, as a gamer, is smooth performance. Hypothetically, if there was a card that could always deliver 60 FPS (always...never more, never less), you wouldn't care about not hitting 120 FPS! Lets also...

    Nvidia GeForce 3 vs ???

    I'm just going to reiterate what I've been saying in other forums. Let me start off by saying that anybody defending the GF3 is really trying hard to do so. Allow me to expand. The major premise to buying a GF3 this Spring are DX8 features. Now, we all know just how badly software development...
