Despite the rumors about the partnership Hercules has elaborated with NVIDIA, Hercules comes back with a great 3D graphics card powered by the most powerful GPU from NVIDIA. As usual the quality of the board is excellent and there’s nothing to complain about. Powerful, faster than ever, the best gets even better. The integration of a TV output and a DVI connector for LCD monitors to the 3D Prophet III Titanium 500 are real pluses as well as the fact the bundle comes with PowerDVD 3.0. We can regret that Hercules doesn't provide anymore game demos in the package.

The GeForce 3 Ti 500 GPU addresses the most common performance and memory bandwidth issues that were affecting the GeForce 3. In conclusion this graphics card will turn every computer into a dream machine designed to reach ultimate framerates. The Hercules 3D Prophet III Titanium 500 delivers an unrivalled visual quality, achieves top notch 3D performance, is flexible and efficient enough to be used as a DVD decoder and provides good performance in 2D making the board ideal for various uses not to say the technologies explained above are simply exceptional. With no doubt, the Hercules 3D Prophet III Titanium 500 is simply the most powerful 3D graphics card available today on the market thanks to its NVIDIA GeForce 3 Ti 500 GPU. If we omit a small detail, its price, we highly recommend the 3D Prophet III Titanium 500. Your investment in a Hercules 3D Prophet III Titanium 500 is somewhat protected due to the architecture of the GPU that is ready to evolve thanks to the Vertex shaders, while future games will soon use the 3D textures and Shadow buffers techniques to deliver a breathless, visual appealing new experience.
