GF2MX vs. what??

Yes WinXP support was added three driver releases ago. In the first official Kyro 1 and II WinXP driver it was ok but had a bug that made it slow, but the second release fixed this and AFAIK the second and third release are good stable WinXP drivers. Until now I've decided not to move to XP...

GF2MX vs. what??

Pookguy88, buy neither of those cards. Pick either the Visiontek GTS-V 32mb for $65 or the Apollo Kyro II 64mb for $64. Either of those will stomp all over both the cards you mentioned and there both just as cheap. Personally I'd go for the 64mb Kyro II.

Video Upgrade (Kyro II on a Athlon XP system?)

Yeah Kyro II is the best all round card for price/performance, especially if you don't want to have to overclock to get good performance (which would rule out the GTS-V). The Kyro II is $64 on pricewatch.com. its got great 3d quality and speed especially with fast CPU's like the one your...

Need Kyro II opinions... please please please!

At those resolutions you'll notice a huge difference in speed especially if you usually use 32bit. On the other hand if you've been using 16bit on your Ultra then going to Kyro II and using 16bit you'll notice quite a large speed increase and an even bigger image quality increase (Kyro's 16bit...

Experiences with Hercules 3D Prophet 4500

<< Pick up a GF3 TI200 >> Since he's not a hardcore gamer and is bargain hunting and needs good 2d IMO it'd be better for him to get something that deffinately has good 2d (allot of the Geforce boards don't) and is very fast in games for a great price (Kyro II 64mb for $66 fits the bill IMO).

No Win2k performance is just as fast as Win98 for Kyro. Have you ticked "disable waiting for verticle sinc" in the OpenGL part of the Kyro II optimisations? or if you have a driver profile for Q3 then tick it there instead.

Prophet 4500 Kyro II vs Creative Labs Geforce 2 32 MB GTS

Just install Giants, bump mapping not enabled. - KYRO II

Don't worry, you have the 1.4 patch so Environmentally Mapped Bump Mapping is enabled (you can see this if you turn landscape bump mapping on and off in game). The feature that isn't enabled thats wrongly called Environmental Bump Mapping is actually Cube Mapping which isn't supported by Kyro II.
