Hercules launches two new benchmark graphics boards:
MONTREAL, October 24, 2002 - Hercules is proud to announce its two latest and most powerful contributions to the world of 3D gaming: the 3D Prophet 9700 and 3D Prophet 9500 Pro graphics boards, created to transform standard 3D Prophet 9700 and 3D Prophet 9500 Pro feature future-proof 3D architecture, enabling full hardware acceleration of the latest APIs (Application Program Interfaces) - Microsoft's DirectX® 9 and OpenGL® - for a new level of realism in current and future games. The boards build on ATI's most recent 3D innovations (Smartshader(tm) 2.0 with programmable Pixel Shaders 2.0 & Vertex Shaders 2.0, Truform(tm) 2.0 and DirectX®9 Displacement Mapping), employing Smoothvision(tm) 2.0 technology for 2X/4X/8X/16X anisotropic filtering and 2X/4X/6X FSAA mode. The end result is perfect image quality with no graphics artifacts whatsoever. "This launch of two new high-end 3D Prophet boards reaffirms Hercules' commitment to producing the best customized graphics accelerators on the market, employing ATI technology", says Navin Sekhon, Brand Manager at Hercules. "As the number of hardcore gamers continues to grow exponentially, new games are naturally making use of all the latest 3D features available, and to experience these innovations in all their glory, PCs must be updated with the right equipment. Hercules' continuing mission is to offer gamers the very best 3D technology combined with industry-leading, dependable designs and manufacturing standards for maximum processing power." In this spirit, 3D Prophet 9700 and 3D Prophet 9500 Pro deliver unparalleled performance, generating extremely high framerates with optimal fluidity in geometrically and texture-heavy games. Plus, thanks to CATALYST(tm) drivers, gamers can look forward to stable, high-speed performance with regular updates and improvements.
