I got four days before 3 x Hercules Prophet II TI's 64DDR Retail Box and a good friend of mine told me to try to overclock the cards and to give him the best ocerclocking card.
Usualy i dont' do this but for this guy i made an exception.
First i get out the Heatsinks from the memory and discovered that cards hawe Samsung 4Ns DDRam (500mhz) and i was very happy with this.
Cards are 250GPU/400 memory default .
I ussed 22.80 Det's + DX8.1
I made the first jump @ 280mhz memory on the first card and i had huge problem with textures in 3Dmark 2001 and Max Payne was allmost unplayable so i droped to 260 mhz but i still had textures problems and instability.
The only stable overclock on the 3 cards was 250/440.
The GPU on the cards work fine @ 290mhz 100% stable on the 3 cards.
I replaced also in one card the Heatsinks original glue with ASilver II on the memory but i allways got the same result.
May be is a Hercules Bios problem ,..i hawe no ideea but i never seen in my life 4Ns to overclock @ "440 stable "

Have you ever tried the other Detonator versions ?
i.e 22.50 or 22.40 and even 21.83 and 21.83 ?
Just try some versions and take the one with best result

Well, they are performing within spec. I guess they just didnt use the best 4nz RAM. My cheapie Pixelview TI with 4ns Hynix Ram does 250/444 at default though.

Bad luck dude :(
