[JoeBaD]

I need to decide and buy today.

Which do you pick:

MSI StarForce 820, GeForce 2 GTS, 32MB 6ns DDR RAM (Retail) $124

or

Guillemot Hercules 3D Prophet 4500 Kyro II 4500 64MB No TV OUT SDRAM

(OEM) $116

PLEASE !!!

Kyro II....because of many reasons....that I don't feel like explaining right now but a page or 2 back there's some topics about this and then you can make your decision...read the Kyro II vs gf2 pro...I think I posted my reasons there...

Dont be a kytroll, decide whats best for your system. Do you have a CPU of more than 800 mhz ? if so then flip a coin or if you want tv-out choose the geforce. If you have a cpu below 800mhz then its geforce/radeon all the way.

lol

I don't see that way..
if you have 800-900 mhz cpu flip a coin
if you have better than 900 mhz buy kyro 2
if you have a lesser than 800 mhz cpu then radeon or gts...

there is kyro 2 with tv out... but he don't want a card with tv-out...

Dude, Kyro II will destroy that 32MB GeFarce 2 card anyday! Kyro II runs pretty even with the 64MB GeForce2 GTS cards. If you want to run games @ 32bit, you gotta have 64MB.

Preemptive flame reply:

Yea, I am running a GeForce card. But I am all about price/performance. For the $120 price range, KyroII runs circles around 32MB MX, GTS, and Radeon cards.

Newegg.com has the Prophet KryoII card for $112.

Read this article then make your own mind up

 

[powervr2]

that review was made with beta drivers...
it used directx8 (I am getting 50 % more performance in 3dmark 2001 with directx8.1 beta build 620)...

with my low-end duron 900 and kyro 2I am getting in the Car Chase high detail more than 15 fps (that kyro 2 with that athlon 1,33 is only reaching 8 fps)
anisotropic of kyro 2 could be slow but it is 16 tap anisotopic not 8 tap like geforce 2...


I prefer this review:

LOL

Go ed Powervr stick it to him!

If you want to get the best out of your kyro2 u should use the lastest drivers &amp; DX8.1 620 build.

The 107 drivers gave a 10fps increase in many games over the old 089's!

mingon.....kyro rocks for u

In GLmark my Kyro2 beats an awful lot of GF2mx/GTS/Ultra!!!!!-sorry, but I had to add that as I'm fed up with Nvidia owners quoting 3dMark!

 

[Ironduke]

nvidia's house of cards is starting to wobble, the Kyro 3 will bring its destruction!

I have forseen it!
