Great article on The Register. NVIDIA's obviously scared that the Kyro II's going to eat into their GF2 MX line big time, or they wouldn't bother coming up with all that anti-Kyro crap. They must be pissed - they finally take down 3dfx after two years of fierce competition, give themselves a pat on the back, and PowerVR suddenly stages a comeback!
After reading that, I'd pick a Kyro II over a GF2 MX or Radeon 32MB any day. Hell, it even gives the GF2 GTS and Radeon 64MB a run for their money, and it's cheaper than both.
But whatever you read, it's no match for a GF2 Pro or Ultra right across the board - only in specific games and resolutions.
I've got a Voodoo 5 AGP 64MB at the moment, and Kyro II doesn't beat it by that much, so I'll wait for a while and see what ATI comes out with. My view is that the best way to appreciate a video card upgrade, is to get one that can give you twice the FPS at the same resolution as the one you had before, and hopefully gives you better image quality - that way you really notice the difference.
