| Spoon's Full Review: Hercules 3D Prophet |
What can I say about this card. I caould just say it's the ultimate and leave it at that(but I'm not) This card has everything you could want on it. Blazingly fast framerates, 16,24,and 32bit color depth, great game support etc etc... I didn't want to uprade so soon from my TNT2 ULTRA, until I read the review for it. This card is the best thing that's ever happened to 3D on PC's. It's RAM is clocked at a much higher speed than that of the VooDoo3 3500, and the TNT2 ULTRA. I'm at school right now so I don't have all the stats on me. So if I can't remember, I won't tell you something random. But, so far on all my games, I have not needed to overclock the board. I overclocked my TNT2 U... and didn't even get the framerates I'm getting now running my GeForce. So far, Iv'e gotten about a 35% increase in speed and texture quality. I was running UNREAL Tourney in 1600X1200 in 32bit color, and getting about 180FPS, (of course I'm running an ATHALON 750mHz, w/384meg of RAM) and Q3 ARENA with the same fps. I'm amazed by just the pure speed of this board. its 16bit mode looks like 32bit on my TNT2.
In short if you don't own this board get it.
