Sapphire or Hercules 9700Pro ?

30th April 2003, 22:01

Ik zou mij een nieuwe videokaart willen kopen (zit nog met een GF2 Mx400.

Ik had graag een 9700Pro of misschien een 9800Pro aangekocht maar twijfel vooral aan de merken.
Welke zou het beste zijn? Eentje van Sapphire of van Hercules?

En voor wat staan die vermeldingen zoals "Excalibur" of "Atlantis" ?

Dank alvast

welcome to forums

, seen you lurking here for some time now

Hardware problems?

moved it for ya

Product names differ but what is important is the used chipset, the core/memory clocks and its feature set.
Hercules is known to have good performing videocards and they come with full feature set, meaning dual-monitor, tv-out

please try to post in english

I will try to keep in mind posting in english.

11 may is my birthday and my wife promissed me a big present for my pc. I spoke in the past about a new harddisk and a graca.
I hope it will be the graca and hopefully she will not faint about the price of a 9800 pro.
Wait and see

I think I will go for the Hercules (Retail version)

Thanks for the response

Hercules is my choise, the design alone is outstanding, nice heatsinks on ram, good GPU-cooler and a led if you have a window.
price is always higher than other cards, but you get something for your money.
it overclocks good, if your in to it

it's about time you changed that MX :grin:

It's final, I will not buy a 9700Pro.

I will go for a Hercules Radeon 9800 Pro.
I only live ones.
Went on 'prijswatch' and I think I will take a day off next week.
So I can drive to a store. (Because I can't wait until they will deliver it)
