<<<Well thats like the geforce 3 crushing the voodoo 3. a few extra years of technology doesn't hurt.>>><br> <br> Are you suggesting that the Kyro III won't come out for a few years??????????, or am I completely missunderstanding you?
Dude the point is a card that comes out after another card is logically going to be a better card, if it is aimed at the same area of the market and isn't effed up by miraculous errors.
Having seen the specs on the kyro 3 I can only imagine it will be great competition for the geforce 3, when it comes out. Yes I am suggesting it will a year or two until it arrives. <br> Lets hope they prove me wrong.
Well Bugsy, sorry to disappoint you, but I read some stuff about KyroIII floating the market in Q4/01 or Q1/02! Well I don't know if one could take this serious, but if it's right, then the KyroIII might be total competition to the Geforce3-Ultra and the Matrox G1000!<br> <br> Cheers <IMG SRC="smileys/hot.gif"> <IMG SRC="smileys/hot.gif"> <IMG SRC="smileys/hot.gif"> <IMG SRC="smileys/hot.gif"> <IMG SRC="smileys/wave.gif"> <br> <br> <br> <br><br><i>This message was edited by Snoopy on 01 Jul 2001 02:13 PM</i>
Now I'm not claiming my memory is any good, but if I recall correctly the release date was pushed back. Lets hope not as the kyro 3 on paper shows what must beat a geforce 3!

No company worth anything would do that let alone a huge company like ST, just last week ST finally officially confirmed that they would be producing PowerVR series 4 and 5, do you really think they'd confirm that now if they thought the card was going to be late (considering its scheduled to be released in 4-5 months they would know at this point if it will arrive on time). You really have no basis for thinking they'd be late to the market after all when have they ever been late to the market?, so all you have to go on is a feeling you have that they will be late wich with all due respect doesn't count for much. Infact my info is ST are only waiting till the end of this year or early 2002 because there waiting for TMSC's 0.13micron process (the same process that Nvidia are also waiting for to use in there next chip). If TSMC had the process now Kyro III could be here a lot ealier then the scheduled release.<br> <br> <<<Now I'm not claiming my memory is any good, but if I recall correctly the release date was pushed back.

Actually man I turned on CNN today and they announced the product would be delayed until 2005...oh well tough cookies for you.<br> <br> <IMG SRC="smileys/wave.gif">
The Kyro 3 wont even be announced until November. I didn't see a hint of a release date. Don't confuse the series of the chipset with the name of the card. Kyro 2 is series 3. series 4 & 5 are being worked on. From all the reading I've done on the kyro lines we are in for some great competition in all segments of the market. <br> <br> Now if I could only pull that woo hoo wav file out of Tribes two.<br><br><i>This message was edited by Bugsy on 03 Jul 2001 02:57 AM</i>

TARGET=_blank>http://www.powervr.org.uk).</A> I know which series goes into each card and my info says Kyro III is just waiting for TMSC's 0.13 process before it can be released. Kyro II was anounced and 3 weeks later it was available so if the same thing happens with Kyro III a November anouncement would keep it on schedule for a 2001 release or early 2002 release. ST's president said that STG5500 (Kyro III) is scheduled to be out before the end of this year or early next year (which my info says is dependant of TMSC).<br> <br> BTW I just tried to register and it said that someone else already has the username Teasy, I think that might be from the last time I registered and I forgot the password, I tried using the forgotten password system but it was unable to recognise any of my email addresses. Can you help me recover the account as I like to use the same username on every messageboard.
You should be able to recover your password either by asking for a new one, or having the old one mailed to you. <br> <br> Honestly, I don't go on feeling in here I do my best to remember what I read in the news. I got confused with who was mixing up the series and the line. Hope you don't take it personal.

well i think the kyroIII wont be a revouluiary card like the voodo,geforce or radeon 2 but i think it will be damn fast <IMG SRC="smileys/cool.gif"> with some cool features that will prob allready be in r2 and g3
Im just stating this<br> <br> Radeon 2 vs. Kyro III vs. G1000 in a Battle Royal<br> <br> Sorry GeForce3 is too slow for me.
Well, funny, if anyone checks out the exhaustive benchmarks on Anandtech.com you'll see that in same game the KyroII beats the GF3!! Int the rest it's close on it's heels. The Kyro 3 will add hardware T&L support for like 1/2 the price of the 2nd gen GF3 card, then it's goodbye NVidia! <IMG SRC="smileys/wink.gif">
