but seriously folks.....
that KyroII is one a$$-kicker, is it not??
jeeeeehosefat!!!!
MBTR aside (is it REALLY that stressful of an engine, or is it just coded poorly?), the KyroII is incredible!!!!
how 'bout that FSAA?
how 'bout them UT scores????
I really wish they would've done some tests in UT with the high-res textures. Can the Kyro-II manage that?
ah well, no matter, it'll do DXTC in D3d, which looks great on the 5500.
also, Ben, I noticed something funny....these new benchmarks you've been rallying about (MBTR and Serious Sam)....I noticed that the 5500 seems to do pretty well in comparison to the MX, don't you?
I gotta wait for my new 5500 to arrive so I can test that 1600x1200 score tho, that was weird. hehehe....2 fps....
I really hate the fact that the tester doesn't have the sense to disable T&L for the cards that don't have T&L units in MDK2. that automatically drops your framerate significantly, who the hell plays like that?
stupid....
also of note is the WickedGL drivers work wonders for the 5500 in MDK2, ~30 fps increase (go figure!)
all-in-all, this has COMPLETELY convinced me not to pick up a GTS-U, I wanna wait for the darn full review!
