Kyro II, where are you?

[BrainSalad]

Is this card already available or are they still hyping it up?
I wish I could get the damn already

They should be available in around 3 to 4 weeks at the latest. It also looks like the Videologic Vivid XS (Videologic's KyroII version) will be cheaper than Hercules from pre-order prices over here in the UK.

Hmm...cheaper is a good thing
Where can a Bloke preorder it from?

the Hercules board keeps getting pushed back.

I'm sure one of the big shops in the USA where you get most computer parts from must be taking orders for them.

I tried looking but can't find any place that has preorders here. It might be because the US doesn't carry Vidiologic or something. I never heard of them before. Oh wait, Actually I think I have. Don't they normally sell generic stuff, kind of like I/O Magic? I usually see that stuff sold at Officemax and places like that.

I wouldn't be surprised if nVidia is trying to strongarm Hercules/Guillemot into NOT making the card! :|
"If you put out that card, you can NEVER release an nVidia product again!"
So jealous and vain...

bluemax, that would be quite ironic as Hercules nvidia based cards have a kind of following like 3Dfx did.

Also I wouldn't be surprised if Videologic was cheaper as they are part of Imagination Technologies, the PowerVR developers. They also sell things like DVD cards, video capture, etc.
