Unlike many other RiVA TNT-based graphics cards, Hercules employed active cooling with their Dynamite TNT, rather than just relying on a heatsink. Coupled with their proprietary PowerDrive drivers and Hercules Touch desktop management utilities, the Dynamite TNT was a very popular choice for anyone looking for a fast 2D/3D graphics accelerator in 1998/early 1999.
The Dynamite TNT's core clock ran at 95 MHz with memory at 125 MHz.
It fully supported DirectX 5 and 6 as well as OpenGL (ICD).
