Hercules 3D Prophet II GTS Pro vs Cardexpert 450 DDR

[lucky164]

From the technical point of view, Cardexpert seemed to offer more performance since it's running on 4.5ns memory compared to hercules 5ns..However, am i blind or what but what justify the $200 price difference between the two...I ordered the cardexpert from newegg for $142...I look up hercules using the same nvidia pro chip and it cost $319...am i missing something here?

I just bought exactly the same card from newegg. I also noticed the price discrepancy with the Hercules cards. I figure anything I'm missing with the CardExpert board ain't worth the price difference.

BTW, I ordered the card Thursday and received it Friday. It took me all of five minutes to install. It was just the ticket to replace the onboard video of my Asus CUSL2. I'm very pleased, both with Gainward/CardExpert and newegg.com

You'll love the Gainward. It's an Ultra in Pro clothing. Good 2D and great overclockability.
