The KYRO board being tested testing is 30 - 60 days from the actual shipping date. With this in mind, it is no surprise that the drivers that came with our card were anything but stable. KYRO is the result of the partnership agreement between ST and Imagination Technologies that was announced one year ago, and combines Imagination’s acclaimed PowerVR technology with ST’s world class digital video capabilities, process technology expertise, and manufacturing capability. Canon Pixma Driver For MacSo have PowerVR cards developed any kind of collector mentality driving up prices, or is it still few and far enough between that I can probably find stuff for $10?:) Being the obscure gaming nut that I am, i'm speccing out systems optimized for playing older games, even though i'm not quite sure when they'll get built - more to have an opportunistic shopping list so that if I ever run across something for cheap i'll know what I can use it for in the future. My understanding is that the Hercules 3D Prophet 4500 was the best PowerVR card ever made. It sounds like the later Videologic VividXS cards with 64meg would be the same. I'm not sure if there are any other Kyro II cards with 64meg, or whether either of the above cards have an advantage over them even if so. I've heard the cards will run at 1.5v fine, but being AGP 2x/4x native i'm not sure if that means they will work in a modern 8x slot. (been long enough since we used AGP I can't remember anymore, I know the Voodoo cards WOULDN'T work on 8x slots and even had wrong keying which could short out the card for some models apparently, I don't know if anyone else had this problem but it's why I can't go by the recommendations that if it plugs in it will work - it didnt for 3dfx) I'd like to use one in an ASRock Core2Duo 775 motherboard if possible as it's one of if not the fastest AGP based boards I know of, and also runs win98 natively. It's possible that i'm putting the cart before the horse though - what games even used PowerVR/SGL in the first place? Did anything use that API past some of the late 90's PCX2 games which supported it directly? I assume the Series 3 Kyro2 chipset would run those 'native SGL' games as well without a problem and at the highest quality possible? Even if games might have supported the Series 3 chipset directly, did any of them actually look better on a Kyro2 than on comparable DX7 hardware from nvidia or ATI? Hp Driver For MacIf such a card is only good for running older PCX1/2 games maybe the 32meg version is fine since maybe those games wont allow higher resolutions anyways, or maybe even the Kyro1 card is fine because it will 60fps everything from the 90's at max allowed resolution. Again, my goal isn't to just force games to play on the PowerVR card, but rather to run games that happened to look better (or possibly only exclusively ran on, were there PowerVR only games?) in that mode. I could be on a wild goosechase.:) However I heard that Tomb Raider looked better on a PowerVR (just slower on the cards at the time) than it did on 3dfx, I don't know if that still applies vs higher end 3dfx cards and wrappers though.

The only cards to do so are the PCX 1, 2 and the Neon 250. The Neon card is the 'ultimate' PowerVR with PowerSGL support (given that it is compatible with most games). I just updated my with a preliminary list of PowerSGL supported games. These are the ones I've found during my research and are the games with official support. Leileilol have a with games that can be 'hacked' to support PowerSGL miniGL. The games that really are better than 3DFX is Mechwarrior 2 and Tomb Raider. You can check out my comparison video on, but for Tomb Raider you just have to take my word for it (though the ATI Rage version is very close actually!).

The OEM versions of Ultimate Race runs better than the retail Pro version on a PowerVR card. For Resident Evil, running in PowerVR only gives you the option to run in 800x600, and is more frame rate locked than the Direct3D version, but beside that it doesn't have much more going for it. I don't know how good the SGL support is in the Neon 250, or if it gives any performance increase in SGL games. Hopefully NitroX here on Vogons can test it for us when he is done with testing the Tasmania (which I think is the plan now). One thing that speaks against compatibility is that in the readme for Metal Fatigue it says: 'SGL is only for use with older PowerVR cards. If you have a Videologic Neon250 use D3D'.
