Chick's Hardware UK (CHUK) heeft een review van de Hercules 3D Prophet DDR-DVI neer geknalt. Zoals je wellicht weet is dit de DDR SDRAM versie van de Guillemot 3D Prophet, die ik samen met de Creative Labs Annihilator Pro hier heb gereviewed. Het door CHUK geteste exemplaar kon behoorlijk goed overgeklokt worden: 160MHz core, dezelfde snelheid die ik met mijn 3D Prophet behaalde!
Well, there you go. Guillemot are shipping their cards clocked at 125/300. Interesting. The RAM used on the Prophet is 6ns Infineon DDR SDRAM. Which should be able to be clocked up to 166Mhz [333Mhz!]. The PowerStrip GX program doesn't seem to like changing the Memory Clock speed, which is strange. So I got myself a copy of the full PowerStrip program, this managed to clock the card at 160Mhz Core Clock and 350 Memory Clock speed. However it doesn't seem to improve the performance very much. Only a 5 fps increase in Q3 at 1024x768 High Quality.
