Kyro 3 to feature Pixel and Vertex shaders on top of 2 additional rendering pipelines and T&L

***CONFIRMED***

Holy ass kicking chipset batman.

I hope they step up their Win2k drivers.

My rig gets 2/3s the scores of Anand's Kyro2 review.
The only significant difference is that his rig is Win98SE and mines Win2k.

I'm a Duron, not an Athlon. But same clock/FSB. Same hard drive, I have more RAM. I have an extra PCI card.....nothing that should make up a 35FPS loss...except Win2k...

Other than that the Kyro2 is an awesome card.

And I hope this is true about the Kyro3, more competitors is always good.

What game/s?

 

[Noriaki]

Quake3 is the only game we have in common. I don't play any of the other games he reviewed.

Rune is UT engine, but it's not UT so it's not quite fair.

My 3Dmark2001 score was also a mighty 1499.

Not that I really give a crap about 3Dmark scores but I'm not terribly impressed with the Kyro2's performance under Win2k. And I'm not the only one.

 

[rickn]

well, make sure texture compression is turned on. You will gain 20-30fps with TC on

What kind of scores do you get?

 

[Deadalus]

The more competition in the video card market the better... we don't want an NVIDIA >>> MICROSOFT situation.

BTW Does anybody think Matrox will ever re-enter the market at a level that will draw gamers to their products.

Possibly....but probably not anytime soon.
