Ok dude now thatsit's runnin let us know how it works!!!!! I really need a video upgrade and don't want to spend $300 for an ultra!!!! If the KyroII is good I will buy, then do a G3 in 6 months when their $200 or so.... My poor Voodoo3 3000 is good but frame rates suffer when I play UT online.. :plasmewhore:
.......*****.......
My first day of school my parents droped me off at the wrong nursery. It was surrounder by trees and bushes!!! |

Asus CUSL2-C bios 1003
PIII 800e@1000 /125 FSB
2X256 Micron PC133 cas2 (fastest settings in bios)
Voodoo3 3000 AGP (can't find oc utility and mine is corrupt)Just installed the Omega 1.02 drivers last nite. Seems worse.
SB live value
Advansys dual channel SE/LVD SCSI card
IBM 9.1 LVD SCSI 7200 RPM
4 Toshiba SCSI cdrom (50 pin)
Yada yada
I'm not sure how to do a FPS test in UT, I only see what I see and it is not that great.
My connection to the net with Sprint BB is fast and ping to favorite game server is around 110 and spikes a little(upwards to 150) but not bad. I sit and watch it when I die and it looks stable for the most part. It's when I get around players that it really gets bad. More action I guess. Not sure, card or connection?

Okay, this is the first chance i have had to play with it. All i can do is compare it to what i have.
I have tried it with unreal at 1024x768 32bit and it rocks. If i knew how to run a FPS test in unreal tournament i would.
It came with Myst3 and that looks nice but my Radeon looks better(picture quality) at least to me it does.
The only complaint i have is it does not have video out.[ ]

Read last nite that OGL is not supported in W2K.. Humm I didn't know that..
I have the card OC'd 210/375
Being a little cautious.. Soon as I put the blu orb and some ram sinks on I will go higher...
I ran 3Dmark 2001 and got a score of 1806.
Did some checking and ended up with 2909.
When I restart again I will go into bios and do some more TWEEKING to try to squeeze out more!!!!
