bit the bullett this afternoon, and bought a KyroII, figuring if I didn't like it as well as my GTS2, it would make a great b'day present for my girlfriend ( 8mg agp).
I mostly (still) play UT and Quake 3.
I uninstalled the old Nvidia drivers, swapped cards, installed the latest drivers from the Hercules website, and booted up. Took a while to get the geometry settings just right. Left the Open GL and D3D setting at default. Loaded UT. Ran 1 minute, BSOD. Ran 3dmark 2000, hard lock.
Started saying to myself " I'm an ahole, should'a stuck with what worked".
Decided to see if there were any tweak settings in Properties. The more I tweaked, the better it got.
I have NEVER seen Quake 3 look so damn nice!!! The colors are outstanding!!! Seems to play as quick and smooth as the Nvidia card.
D3D with UT still needs a little tweaking, but is almost there.( and no longer locks up).
Overall I am impressed as hell
NOW, the big question, are there any overclocking utilities out yet for this card???
