Hercules are leaving the video card market!

Gawd I thought they already had.

Hercules always made the best video cards, but always charged the most for them. Nobody wants to spend an extra $50-100 (in case of the 9800pro) on a card that uses the same GPU as a cheaper Sapphire card.

Still, very sad news. I will never forget my first video card ever, the original 3dProphet GeForce, the first GPU made.

Didn't Hercules used to make cards back in the days before Guillemot bought their bankrupt butts?

...uh, Hercules did make graphics cards, but it was probably before some of you were born. They're considered the first AIB vendor, fyi.

Yes, it was a crappy card I agree. Was still the first GPU though. Mine worked for a few months and then died....the drivers for it were absolutely horrible.
