New Hercules Kyro driver.... v15.84 for Win9x, 2000, XP

[holdencommodore]

For Win98, Me, 2000 and XP. I managed to install these drivers on my Powercolour Kyro II by editing the .inf file. The drivers will probably be on the powervr website soon. The drivers gave about 60 3dMarks extra (in both 2000 and 2001), but most importantly, the driver fixes issues in Morrowind, 3DMark 2001 (fixes issues in high polygon count and vertex shaders), Medal of Honor etc...

Get them here.

Cheers

I'm @ work right now so not able to test, but I installed these over the previous reference drivers and my performance in Morrowind dropped significantly. Still quite playable, but I wonder if its because of the video options I had to tweak to get it working in the first place. Does Morrowind run correctly without forcing any options in the advanced properties?

The options for the game Morrowind should be enabled default in the drivers... AFAIK. Try uninstalling the drivers completly, then install them again, then reinstall your AGP driver.

Ran 3DMark2001SE and got 3336 marks at default.

Still having problems with Morrowind even with a clean install of the new drivers- have to enable Force W buffering and Defer Render Until Flip in the advanced settings... although problems in 3d Mark seem to have been resolved.

My 3dmark 2001 score- 3332 @ default
