At low resolutions and using 16-bit color the MX board kills the KYRO chipset, but who cares. Once you start getting into some power gaming...like 1024X768@32bpp, the KYRO starts to take over, beating out the MX boards in nearly all benchmarks. And things will only get better as the drivers are optimized. The OpenGL scores shown at ChickHardware are already way out of date as the newer drivers show lots of improvement. Also, a recently released registry entry by ImgTec also helped improved MDK2 scores (once again killed at lower resolutions but kicks *** at higher resolutions), and Quake III engines scores. I have been using a pre-release board for a while and I can say that each new driver release enhances gameplay significantly, especially in OpenGL. Realize that this is the first full OpenGL ICD by ImgTec and there are sure to be some growing pains. But, D3D performance is great, and games based on the UT engine simply fly. Not two bad for a card that is basically built like a TNT2 board.
