Hercules 3D Prophet 4000XT AGP + TV-out 64 mb videokaart

[bonesombekke]

Is ths card as good as the 4500 version.....same chip etc. 'kryo 2' 64mb twice as cheap......
are there any reviews on this card

[funnyperson1]

the review i read said that the 4000XT has 32mb of ram, but the ,major difference is that the 4000XT is clocked at 115/115, and the 4500 at 175/175.....in the reviews iread the4000XT places between an Mx and an Mx400, and the 4500 places between an Mx400 and a GTS....

the 4000 version has a 64mb ram kyro2 base i saw this at Dixons.nl which is weird coz i thought they only had kyro 1 stuff on 4000 versions...is there a difference between a kyro 32 and a 64 mb version of 4000

[funnyperson1]

probably not the kyro II prbably doesnt even need 64megs of memory because of the whole tile architecture thing....

According to Hercules´s homepage the 4000xt features 32 MB ram and the Kyro 1 chipset. It is also available with TV out.
It´s only clocked at 115 Mhz, but it is still a good card for the price.
I think you´ll enjoy it...:D

wasup with that tile architisch stuff

[funnyperson1]

normal graphics card processes everyting even pixels you cant see, the kyroII is based on a different type of architecture called tile architecture and what it does is it only processes visible pixels so it doesnt need the memory bandwith or size of say a geforce2......

i knew that ...thanks anyway ....just couldn't see the link.......so the 4000 version with 64 mb won't make a difference right?!!!?

[funnyperson1]

the difference between a 4000 32meg version and a 4000 64me version should be minimal...however i would suggest that you get a 4500 because it has much greater performance and still is very cheap.....however only get this card if you have a nice processor(p3/duron800 or higher) otherwise newer games will run slow because it lacks hardware t&l.....if you have a slower CPU i reccomend you get a RadeonLE for 51dollars(youll have to tweak it using programs but it should run like a normal radeon with this done).......Also ive seen a GTS-V card for 65$ that should be really nice(i dont know what the V means)....
