Ah, kyro is the competitor to geforec, its from PowerVR. I havent kept up with whos bought who recently, so PowerVR could now be owned by Nvidia for all I know, but the technology isnt Nvidias.[/QUOTE]PowerVR makes a decent card on paper, but the drivers are horrible! NVidia has proven itself with timely driver updates, which makes the difference although it will be interesting to see ATI's new DX9 card, the R300. It looks like 3D Labs is making a comeback too, so we should see the video card market heating up real soon, with a HUGE drop in prices for newer cards.
