We've just posted our review of Hercules most complete graphics card, the 3D Prophet All In Wonder 8500 DV. Make sure to read the review if you're on the look out for a graphics card that includes a TV tuner, a full MPEG 2 hardware decoding as well as video capturing features. The review obviously includes benchmarks that'll help you compare the performance of the Hercules 3D Prophet All In Wonder 8500 DV over competing products. Below is a snippet from the review:
After a long partnership with NVIDIA, Hercules the famous graphics card maker has chosen to work with ATI, the Canadian supplier of 3D graphics chips and NVIDIA competitor. Anyway this new partnership is quite interesting since it brings to Hercules’ graphics cards hot, new and exclusive technologies. The Hercules 3D Prophet “All In Wonder” 8500DV is probably the best illustration of this statement: not only is the Hercules 3D Prophet All In Wonder 8500DV a good 3D accelerator but also it includes exceptional multimedia features through a built-in TV tuner, video capturing/output features, full hardware DVD decoder and even a built-in IEEE1394 connector.
In Europe, Hercules is the exclusive distributor of ATI powered graphics cards. Even if for the 3D Prophet 8500LE, 3D Prophet 8500 and 3D Prophet 8500 128MB, Hercules has made its own board design, though the 3D Prophet All In Wonder 8500DV is manufactured by ATI.
