Tweakers AU does a Herc variant of the 8500LE. You don't see to many of these reviews now do you?
Performance wise, the Hercules 3D Prophet FDX 8500 LE trailed the Gigabyte Radeon 8500 very closely in all tests, except Vulpine's GLmark and DroneZmarK, where performance was particularly sour. Of course, the Leadtek GeForce Ti4600 prevailed as the undisputed leader in every benchmark at every resolution, but this type of performance comes at a price. For around $350 AUD you can pick up the Hercules card, in comparison to the heavy $850 AUD price tag the Leadtek card comes with. Speaking of value, as we have already mentioned the card competes well with the Gigabyte Radeon 8500, which retails for around $500 AUD, making the Hercules 3D Prophet FDX 8500 LE a very cheap card in terms of the performance levels on offer. In summary, quite a feature rich card that happens to not only look good, but actually has the goods.
