Kyro II Ultra.....With "Enhanced T&L engine"!!

[BFG10K]

This bench is a worst case non-realistic stess test.

The worst case tests interest me the most.

Wrong. Please read the recomend specs for U2

Would you play UT on a Pentium 233 MMX in software rendering? Because that's what the minimum spec is.

If you ever get minimum specs you usually have to triple them to get half-decent gameplay. I wouldn't touch UT on anything slower than a 700 MHz processor.

<< That may well be but pretty much every card (except for GF3 based cards and the 7500/8500) is crawling at every resolution. As it stands now Unreal2 is totally unplayable on a Kyro2 and I doubt a Kyro2 Ultra would make too much difference. >>


There goes BFG again.... anything less than 100FPS is a total slideshow. Good grief.

Not everyone had the same need for motion-sickness like you, and believe it or not, 30FPS is totally playable, provided it DOESN'T go below that.

That's what Anand's test was... not only a new engine, but totally stressed with tons of quick turns, smoke trails, dozens of players... real stuff. If a budget card like the KyroII can hold its own against a GTS and higher (and it does) even in future engines, I'd say it's doing its job very well.
You go ahead and enjoy your Ti500 and your obsessive urges to have only the best - most people don't need that.
If everyone *needed* 200FPS, noone would own a Nintendo or other game console either.

I'm wondering if they fixed the voltage so it'll work in a P4 machine now...
