Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The 3-D Prophet II MX is a high performance gaming graphics card that offers great value. With its 64 MB of RAM, and a 350 MHz RAMDAC, this card gives you great performance in any game you throw at it (providing the rest of your hardware is up to spec, that is). Looking at the technical specifications, the 3-D Prophet II MX utilises a cut-down version of the NVIDIA GeForce2 GPU chipset and manages 700 MegaTexels and 350 MegaPixels per second. It has a 175 MHz core clock, and an internal bandwidth of 2.8 GB/s. Its a 4X AGP card, but compatible with 2X AGP. It can, if you have a good monitor, give you 1600x1200 resolution at a staggering 100 Hz refresh rate, or 1024x768 at 120 Hz. These technical specs are backed up by the gaming experience. The card can give a much-needed boost to older PCs, and can help drive newer PCs to the limit, providing excellent frame rates in all current games. Installation of the card is fairly straightforward. Windows detects the card automatically and the drivers supplied are easy to install. The only problem encountered on one of our test PCs was that the machine had a tendency to freeze up. Rather than being a problem with the card, this was isolated as a problem with the AGP settings in the PCs BIOS. By lowering the AGP aperture setting this issue was resolved. The 3-D Prophet II MX is a superb graphics card. If your budget won't stretch to one of the fully fledged GeForce2 solutions, then pound for pound this is by far the best gaming graphics card available.-Peter Sjögren

5.0 out of 5 stars Hercules: What a stunner!, 5 Mar 2001
I am using it on an AMD Athlon 1000Mhz machine with 128MB of ram and it flies! Once I had updated the drivers from the user friendly website it seems to handle the most graphicaly intensive games with ease. A must for anybody wanting high graphics performance on a budget.
