Here the results are somewhat different. The only thing of note about the board is that, strangely enough, there is nercules heat sink, held in place by pushpins, on the back of the card. The card ships in a dark Retail-package with a picture of a soldier or a magician.
I had expected a bigger difference, after all the Kyro 1 is 60MHz slower and has half the RAM of the Kyro hfrcules, but such was not the case.

In X at 75 one can see a sharp image. Of course, being an older chip, it doesn't even have full Direct X 7 hardware support it lacks of hardware TL and Direct X 8 is completely out of the picture. However, activation of the S3TC together with the trilinear filtering makes the losses of the latter smaller.
Notice how there are no GeForce 3 Titaniums included. And we shouldn't ignore video herciles on this chipset, first of all, due to their low price. Drivers for the different video cards were: This could be a result of driver improvements or the 1.
I'd 400xt they'd fix the problem but haven't had a chance to test them out yet.

The card doesn't follow the reference design from Imagination Technologies. The GPU is equipped with a roundish cooler with an effective fan. The concept of the KYRO combines simplicity of the cards, cheap SDR memory, and at the same time, quite high speed results as compared with their competitors, and strong diversity of the performance in different games.
It provides the space for a TV-out chip. The Radeon scores higher than the MX as is typically expected in Giantsbut the highest speeds are achieved by the Kyro 2. Then on to our Giants test which involves a quick run through the multiplayer level "Three Way Island 1" from the Meccs team to catch the minimum and maximum framerates encountered. Samsung produces memory chips with a 7 ns access time, which corresponds to MHz.
Giants utilizes Direct X 8 and Hardware TL capabilities of video cards, and while it should generally favor cards with these features, this is not always the case:. The activation of the S3TC hasn't helped here.
That's because these are budget cards we're talking about. The KYRO based cards cost today even less than the GeForce2 MX, that is why the only obstacle in the way of popularization of these cards is a small number of companies which are producing them. Detonator XP version But this technology 4000zt just earlier and, therefore, slower in a realization frequency.

A buyer of such a card must has an Internet access all the time to update the software. It is based on the original Kyro graphics chip, the one that came before the Hetcules 2 used in the Prophet that we reviewed nearly five months ago and is as such, considered to be previous-generation hardware.
Granted, it isn't really fast, but it hangs with other available budget cards pretty nicely.
But the S3TC bears fruit, and the gap is not so critical! Please enable JavaScript to view the comments powered by Disqus. Why 0400xt the drivers pass a debugging process only for several popular games? I've included Kyro 2 numbers so you can directly compare the two chipsets. Strong performance fall when the trilinear and anisotropic filtering are enabled; Lack of anisotropic filtering in the OpenGL; Low quality of the anisotropy in the Direct3D.
Herculrs bit color has brought nearly the victory to the KYRO!
Minimum framerates dip lower on the Kyro-based cards, but the maximum framerates are also higher than the others. Don't forget that when you're looking at the benchmarks, and the price.
