3D Prophet II GTS Pro performance
3D Prophet II GTS Pro exploits the power of the world's first GigaTexel
Shading GPU - the GeForce2 Pro chipset created by NVIDIA*. It features 64MB
of Double-Data RAM for impressive 3D performance in games requiring large
textures buffers, and a TV-output for playback of games and DVD-Video on the

million triangles per second. For fans of games like Quake, for whom extra
speed is key, 3D Prophet II GTS Pro remains stable even at very high speeds.
Gamers with high-end machines will appreciate the extra speed potential of
this board, thanks to Hercules unique design, which includes specially
adapted heatsinks on the RAM units and an optimized cooling fan.
