Im sure youve all heard this before but I would just like to know if it is worth upgrading to a kyro II 64mb from a geforce ddr. I have a athlon 700 but also gonna upgrade to a tbird 1.2. Any help much appreciated :) 

More about : geforce ddr kyro

The kyro 2 will run current games very well when accompanied by the 1.2GHz Athlon. However, next year we'll see several new games based on new engines out in the market, such as Unreal 2, Doom 3, Quake 4? (I've been hearing rumors about this), halo etc.

All these will need extremely powerful graphics cards with a lot of T&L and programmable shader features being used. If you don't intend to play these then the kyro will be fine, since the GeForce DDR won't be able to do too well in these games anyway.

But, the word is even GeForce 2/Radeon cards won't do too well with these games anyway.

What you do is entirely up to you, but I have a GeForce DDR aswell and I'm just holding onto mine for as long as it plays the games at a decent level at a relatively high resolution (1024x768@32). Mine is doing that fine for now, and I don't intend to upgrade again until Unreal 2 or Doom 3 is released. For, now I'm just saving up to get something top of the range when the games are out.

I know what you mean, had this card since geforce first appeared. KyroII just seems very cheap costs 2 and a half times less than a gf2 where I live and the TBR sounds good for a game im struggling with called world war 2 online. My FPS drops from mid 30s to around 5 when I go near towns with lots of buildings. Thanks for the reply gonna have to think about it :)

My GF256 died - replaced w/ Kyro 2. A huge improvement.
I'll get a GF3 when the ridiculous pricing goes down!
