I am interested in upgrading my GeforceMX to a Geforce2Pro but considering a Kyro 2 based on this information. I read a review that showed in Aquanox that all the Geforce 2 level cards performed on par with the Kyro2 a card that has no onboard hardware TnL support. I dont know if any of you have read a similar review, I just did a extensive search trying to find what review it was because alot of you will not believe me otherwise. I think the review was off of Toms Hardware.
I assume this is because Geforce 2 based boards don't support the programmable TnL that is required to fully take advantage of future TnL games. I also take into consideration that future games based off of DX8 will only use this programmable TnL not the Geforce2s implementation.
This has been the major factor in my decision of Geforce2Pro or Kyro2... and should probley also be for anyone else looking to upgrade until more tile based renderers are available.
I feel its odvious that immediate mode renderers are out of air and the Geforce3/3Ultra will mark the end of the era, thats why I'm leaning towards the Kyro2 but curious on what feelings are on Geforce2 TnL.
