The 3D Prophet FDX 8500 LE is a very fast fragging device, featuring the new generation ATI RADEON 8500LE chipset. Combined with 64MB DDR RAM, its HYPERZ II technology performs aggressive memory control through the implementation of efficient HSR (Hidden Surface Removal). In 3D games these features result in ultra-high frame rates, even in geometrically heavy scenes, and incredibly realistic 3D characters featuring real-body animations and human skinning.

"3D Prophet FDX 8500 LE benefits from ATI Technologies' expertise in designing high-performance 3D chipsets, and from Hercules' commitment to stretching the boundaries of 3D acceleration", says Christine Foucault, Hercules Hardcore 3D Graphics Product Manager. "In introducing 3D Prophet FDX 8500 LE, Hercules again places the most up-to-date graphics technology at the gamer's disposal, providing a serious advantage in the most recent 3D games."
