DirectX 8.1 is Kyro II optimized and will give a huge speed bust

[TimisoaraKill]

Hi , i just read an review about the DirectX 8.1 and this version was made specialy for the Kyro II boards. This will fix the 3Dmark scores and also it will be compatibile with the Kyro engine. The users who use the Direct x 7.0 with Kyro II right now hawe 3o -40 % better results than people who use Dx 8.0a.

Don't try teaching a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.

Vsync? ...

But it's true, there is an issue with Kyro card and 3dmarks2001 that is solved with DirectX 8.1, it relates to rendering-to-texture in some way I don't remember how.
