will Kyro II work well w/ these games?

I recently changed my vcard order to a Kyro II and maybe I should have asked these questions before I bought the Kyro II but it's too late now, according to Hercules, my Kyro is on the way :)

The games I play most are Nascar Heat, PGA2000, and High Heat 2002. I don't even think PGA2000 supports 32-bit color so I think the Kyro's ability to run well in 32-bit color mode is a moot point there. I also occasionally play F1 Championship Season 2000, Nascar Racing 4, and Madden 2001.

I could not get a Radeon 32mb DDR to work at with Madden 2001 so I returned it a few months ago. For some reason, the Radeon in 1280x960, which is my preferred playing mode in Madden, could not run this resolution with a decent picture. It looked worse than 640x480, just really big and grainy pixels.

I presently have a Leadtek Geforce1 DDR card and as long as the Kyro II is as good as or better than the GF1, then I will be satisfied. I know the Kyro II has problems with certain types of filtering but I'm not sure if any of the games I play will be affected, I hope not.

I'm very curious to hear how N4 runs on a KyroII. Please keep us posted on how it works for you.

My GF1 gets 85 FPS in Nascar 4, which is the vsync limit. If I disable vsnyc, FPS goes up to about 115-120.

I'll see how well the Kyro II does when I get it, which probably won't be until next Tuesday.

I guess more specifically I'm curious about Kyro's FSAA running N4. I'm afraid I'm hooked on FSAA especially for sims.

I think it is safe to say that Myst III - Exile, will look great on the Kyro II. After all, it is being bundled with the Prohpet 4500 when purchased directly from Hercules.
