Final Results And Overall Mark  

Well we have reached the end of the review. Here are my final comments, notes and grades for Hercules 3D Prophet All In Wonder 8500 DV.

Final Comments

During our tests the Hercules 3D Prophet All In Wonder 8500DV has revealed itself as being undoubtedly the most complete multi purpose graphics card available on the market. Its integrated features are unbeatable and innovative especially when you consider the built-in IEEE 1394 port. If one might fear that such a plethora of features would lead to poorly implemented features, it isn’t the case at all with the Hercules All In Wonder 8500 DV card. Every feature of the card works flawlessly and accomplishes a great job. Hercules, or should I say ATI, has marvellously succeeded the exploit of combining into a single graphics card: an outstanding 2D graphics adapter with great visual quality, a top of its class 3D GPU, an amazing TV tuner, regular but useful analogue and digital video capturing features, an extraordinary and exceptionally smooth DVD playback thanks to the full hardware MPEG 2 decoding and much more… In conclusion the Hercules 3D Prophet All In Wonder 8500DV is an excellent purchase for users on the look for an affordable yet integrated graphics card.
