Conclusion
Guru3D.comHercules managed to build one fine graphics card here. It's a beauty to look at. The looks are a tad deceiving though as this board will not perform one MHz higher than the standard Radeon 9800 pro reference model from ATI itself. Still this is one fine graphics card. It looks fantastic, it's stable, very compatible, has a lot of features and will give you gaming lovin' for quite a while. The design by itself will make a lot of you buy it as it is high-performing and probably a dish to look at in any case modification with window.

Furthermore, the card is highly programmable, game programmers will love the Radeon 9800 Pro. Next to that, it simply is fast and very efficient with it's quality setting in Anisotropic Filtering and Anti Aliasing. Installation was as easy as a breeze, no problems at all. Stability then, it never crashed even once, the graphics core does get very hot though. All in all the Radeon 9800 Pro from Hercules is a joy to own, it in fact is a somewhat beefed up Radeon 9700 Pro it'll play any game to date absolutely fabulous with and without setting like AA and AF. If you own a Radeon 9700 Pro then it's definitely not worth it to upgrade though. If you buy the product you'll get Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield and PowerDVD along in the software package, good stuff.
