	Hercules Graphics Card - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hercules Graphics Card (HGC) was a mid-1980s computer graphics controller which through its popularity became a de-facto display standard.
		Long after its prime, the Hercules card continued to be popular for specialist applications, such as some debuggers and CAD programs, because it could be used to connect a secondary monitor alongside another (colour) graphic adaptor.
		The graphic page was hardwired to address '0b000h' — different from the address '0a000h' used by newer (colour) graphic adaptors.

		Hercules was the name in Roman mythology of the hero Heracles from Greek mythology, the son of Jupiter (or Jove, the Roman name for the Greek god Zeus) and the mortal Alcmene.
		Hercules can be identified by his attributes, the lionskin and the club.
		The cult of Hercules may have been the first foreign one to be adopted in Rome; his most important shrine, the Ara Maxima, was in the original Palatine settlement.

		With innovative features incorporated into the Kyro II powered 4500, and the surprising performance we recorded during testing, the Hercules 4500 is definitely a card to recommend for the budget minded gamer looking for the most performance for the buck.
		The retail price for this card is a very affordable $149, but to be honest you could easily find one of these cards for under $100 by stopping by pricewatch.com and doing a quick search.

		Create a game that doesn't run well unless you've got the latest hardware - which would be a 1.4GHz Athlon machine with a GeForce3 graphics card, at the time of writing - and you annoy all of the people that don't have a Tiny God on their desk.
		If the card comes with a lousy cooler on its main chip, or no cooler at all, then higher core speeds may be a problem unless you upgrade the cooler.
		This is rather inefficient, because the graphics card is turning digital data into an analogue signal, then the screen's electronics are turning it back into a digital signal for display.

		The Hercules card had a certain popularity for specialist applications, such as some debuggers and CAD programs, because it could be used to connect a secondary monitor alongside another (colour) graphic adaptor.
		Certain software detects the HGC and uses the mono display for extra data while running the application on the other display - for example the CAD work area on the main screen and the list of drawing commands on the HGC screen.

		However, this graphics mode of the EGA is not compatible with Hercules (HGC) graphics.
		Fortunately, in most cases these new cards are being installed into the faster 386 and 486 power-houses with the muscle to spare for updating the display.
		Colour graphics based applications and graphical user interfaces are becoming more popular, and it's getting to the point where the standard VGA screen resolution of 640 by 480 just isn't good enough.

	Review: Hercules 3D Prophet III GeForce3 video card
		Both of these card flavours have, as a matter of course, a phalanx of imposing looking heat sinks on their RAM chips, as well as a heat-sink-and-fan cooler for the main chip.
		This card has the same slimmed-down Thermaltake Blue Orb on its main chip as the retail cards, but its memory chips are all stark naked.
		Hercules' own Kyro 2 powered Prophet 4500 (reviewed here) is only $AU401.50 delivered, and it's right up there with the better GeForce2s for pretty much everything that matters.

	Hercules 3D Prophet II GTS Graphics Card Hardware Review
		What a card, and with 64mb of on-board SDRAM combined with Nvidia's GeForce2 GTS GPU driving home those hard hitting, fast'n'furious graphics you can just imagine how hard it was to have to take the card out of my machine and give it back to Hercules.
		The card also has mounted heat sinks for all the on-board memory chips plus a heat sink with a fan on the actual GPU to keep it nice and cool in those all-too-hot-and-crowded tower cases.
		Now you're asking yourself, "What kind of score would a spectacular card like this get?" Well, I was so impressed with the overall performance, speed, and power of the Hercules 3D Prophet II GTS; I felt it earned a score of 94%.

		Graphics cards that support virtual overlay using Direct Draw are recommended for use with Array's VideoONE cards to enable video preview before and during capture sessions.
		NOTE: If the graphics card does not support overlay, it is recommended that the color depth of your graphics card be set to "High Color (16 bit)" to work with Direct Draw.

		December 6th, 2001 04:49 AM True it's still stock clocked at 175 but they still seem to reach atleast 200 and 220 seems pretty common, and don't forget that GF's are significantly bandwidth limited and getting upto 600mhz on the memory will make it quite a significant performer....
		December 6th, 2001 01:18 PM I would say buy the cheapest vid card you can for now because in two months the GF4 will be coming out and prices will drop on all.
