Not the best

Pros: Fast for the price

Cons: Does not run flawless in some OS
ElPato's Full Review: Hercules 3D Prophet II MX
This card is very fast for the price. But you'll have problems running D3D and OpenGL apps, especially if you own a VIA powered motherboard. 3Dfx cards, although not the fastest -but very fast- run in any OS and motherboard, run the first time and all the time. They were flawless.
NVidia cards are the fastest... if you find the right driver for your hardware and are able to stand a few crushes. Never, ever had I had to re-boot my system due to a crush with my Voodoo based video card. But with my Prophet is a weekly thing.

The video quality is supperb. In a nutshell, not the best of the best.

BEFORE BUYING AN NVIDIA BASED VIDEO CARD, CHECK THE ATI FAMILY.

Yes I was very sad to see 3Dfx be swallowed by NVidia.
