Hercules to go strictly ATI

Some of you may have noticed that an online computer store ComputerHQ is taking pre-orders on GeForce4 Titanium based videocards from Hercules. They offer Hercules 3D Prophet IV TI4600 64 MB and Hercules 3D Prophet IV TI4400 64 MB for $449 and $339 accordingly.

There are two things that attracted our attention on these videocards were the facts that Hercules had not announced GeForce4 based products, and GeForce4 reference design seems to support only 128 MB configurations.

Although we are not quite sure that it is totally impossible to make 64 MB board based on the GeForce4 Titanium, we are sure that Hercules is not going to sell GeForce4 Titanium boards now. Official statement from Hercules claims that for the moment, the company do not intend to launch GeForce4 based cards. Hercules have chosen to use the ATI RADEON 8500 for the high-end cards because they are convinced it is the current greatest solution regarding quality/price ratio.

So, in case you were interested in a GeForce4 from Hercules, you will have to look around for another board from different manufacturer. By the way, if you live in Western Europe, you will have several difficulties in finding the mentioned devices – we do not think ELSA will be able to supply their recently announced GLADIAC 925 boards due to their possible bankruptcy
