Is this a good video card?

GUILLEMOT HERCULES 3D PROPHET KYRO II 4500 64MB NO TV-OUT - OEM


If not please recommend a different one $70 or under



Thanx

Yea, they're good. I have one in one of my backup systems, and it performs well.

That's a fine card, especially if you have a powerful CPU.

 

[jcmkk]

Yes, Daovonnaex is right. They scale very well.

They're pretty good, A GF2 GTS 64MB can outperform it, bit for the money they are pretty good.. Depends on the game alot too.. apparently Max Payne runs bad on a KyroII, but Q3 seems to run OK on my friends'.

The one game the my Kyro 2 kicks butt on, is UT. Talk about some good looking high FPS.

 

[Daovonnaex]

Also, Kyro IIs have extremely high image quality, which is something to consider.

Thanx for the replies.

Should I go TV-out? Or not?

$57 vs $68

 

[jcmkk]

I wouldn't go TV out. On all of the video cards that I have that have it, I've never used it on one. If you opt for no tv out, then the card will really be a deal.

<< Should I go TV-out? Or not? >>



The Kyro2 is supposed to have very good TV-out, probably the best $11 upgrade you could ever have for a computer if its anywhere close to the TV-out IQ of my Radeon cards IMHO. I use the TV-out on my rig all the time.
