20 of 20 people found the following review helpful:  great card - but read their website!, By James Barnett "JB" (NY, USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Hercules 3D Prophet II GTS 64 MB DDR RAM (Personal Computers) This card is fantastic, but defintely "caveat emptor" - we're clearly dealing with leading edge technology here, so reading their tech web site is a must and you'll find it's a mine of useful information, with tips on how to configure your card to work smoothly. Absolute musts are BIOS updates and DRIVER updates. Also look at their recommended settings for Direct3D and other advanced settings, their recommended motherboard BIOS settings (and make sure you update your motherboard BIOS and chipset drivers, too) and other recommendations. It's all referenced through their website...Out of the box I had a troublesome card which permanently crashed games and was very frustrating. Just a hour or so of effort, taking time to review and put in place some/all of their recommendations, I have a card that produces phenomenal performance and works flawlessly. For the techno-savvy - a big thumbs up. 23 of 27 people found the following review helpful:  DVI-out doesn't work, By This review is from: Hercules 3D Prophet II GTS 64 MB DDR RAM (Personal Computers) Just a warning, if you're planning on buying this card to use it's DVI-out with an LCD monitor. *It doesn't work.* It didn't work with my Viewsonic VP181 LCD monitor, and many others have reported to Hercules' tech support that the DVI-out wouldn't work with their LCD monitors either. Symptoms are green and white "snow" all over the display, flickering, and darkening/lightening of the display. Hercules' tech support has yet to acknowledge the problem, let alone provide a fix for it. Analog output seems to work just fine, but buyer beware if you want this card for its DVI-out. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful:  Great card, but not the best value for everyone., By A Customer This review is from: Hercules 3D Prophet II GTS 64 MB DDR RAM (Personal Computers) Nvidia is generally the best choice for video cards because of their great drivers and support. This card is awesome in that you can realistically run most games at 1600x1200 resolution in 32-bit color with 30+ frames per second (yes, Quake 3 included). The only issue with it is that most people would be better off getting the budget Geforce 2 MX card, for less than half the price, since you could buy that now, and Nvidia's newer budget card in a year or two (which will probably be more powerful than this). Also, if you're wanting to go high end, the 64MB Geforce 2 Pro that's now available is probably a better bet than this. It has slightly faster RAM for more memory bandwidth (which is the main bottleneck for the Geforce 2).The Ultra is basically a rip off, since the GPU on the "regular" Geforce 2 is ALREADY being held back by the performance of the RAM on these cards. Hence the "pro" is a nice compromise. Despite the high price, I have to admit I've loved having...Read more |
