Hey I heard "Kyro2" is a chip in Dreamcast right???
My friends told me about that.

cairey · May 19th, 2001

Yeah crap PowerVR technology. The Kyro II doesn't ship with many DirectX 7 features. Let alone DirectX 8. Though it might be cheap, it's still not gonna last the gamer long enough. Not worth it in my opinion!

MegaWarhead · May 19th, 2001

The Dreamcast contains the Kyro I.

MegaWarhead · May 19th, 2001

Oh, and yes the KYRO II does/will support Direct X 8

Enigma1982 · May 19th, 2001

and a little 1 more thing...........
How about perfermance if compare with GeForce3???

The Kyro II is a very good chip. It can outperform the GeForce 3 in some cases. But most of the time, it is 30% faster than the GeForce 2 MX. It is obvious, that the Kyro II is thought as a concurrence for the GeForce 2 MX, since it costs ~ 150$ with 64 MB of RAM.

The Kyro II doesn't outperform the GF3 whatsoever.

The Kyro II offers performance which is on par with a GF2 Pro, which is just below a GF2 Ultra, for much less money...

Oh, just to mention, the Kyro II lacks a Hardware T&L engine, so it is severely lacking in games that use HW T&L, like MDK2...

Yep I've got MDK2, but only a TNT2 ultra video card. It looked very good on a friend's geforce 2 though.

yes, but then again, a gf2 mx seems too slow for T&L..
