Great for compatability

by kurt_h Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Nov 17 '99
Pros: Great card, easy to use software controls
Cons: Needed some registry tweaks and a fan on the heatsink
When I was doing a make-over of my dual pentium II system, I wanted a better graphics card than my old #9 Imagine card. And I wanted to run the BeOS. And some games. So I needed a card that is supported by two OS's and does a good job with games. I...

Beautiful for price

by dazflux , Mar 29 '00
Pros: Price, speed for price
Cons: bad overclocking
The price and performance of this beauty pushes in right in the high end video card category. At the time when it first came out, few games gave problems, and required updates. Afterwards I fell in love. I must say for the buck, I really like the...

Stinktacular Card

by blusavana , May 12 '00
Pros: 2D/3D solution
Cons: Overheat, Display Problems
Hey, the Banshee card is cheap...the Creative Labs being the second best Banshee card (Diamond's being the best). There are so many things wrong with the card. The idea is pretty good. At the time the Banshee came out, you had the Voodoo 2's reigning...

Not just for Gamers

by marence , Jan 29 '00
Pros: Easy setup, great video results
Cons: More money than I wanted to spend
I usually don't buy fancy, overblown components for my PCs. When I rebuilt my system last summer, I splurged on a really cool video card - the Blaster Banshee - and hoped that I wouldn't regret spending twice as much as I needed to. See, I'm not a gamer,...

Kickass graphics, still good after a year

by c0mmander , Dec 24 '99
Pros: its really cheap now
Cons: it won't handle high resolutions for the newest games
Voodoo Banshee is an excellent 16 megabyte graphics card for $50. There are generic versions of this board which cost that much, or you can get it at an online auction for about that price (Egghead/Onslae, Ubid ect…) I’ve had my Banshee card since...

The 2D/3D Voodoo2

by rackgoku , Nov 28 '99
Pros: Fast for older 3D games
Cons: Slow for newer 3D games
The Creatives Labs 3D Blaster Banshee Video Card is a great alternative if you want solid frame rates but don't want to spend the premium for the new and shiny 3dfx Voodoo 3 Video card used for AGP ports in newer computers that support it in the...

BLASTER BLASTS AWAY COMPETITION

by njymix , May 05 '00
Pros: Works well for gamers and non gamers
Cons: annoying intro graphics from software
When I bought the Banshee, it was top of the line, graphic cards didn't get better. Now there are faster cards with larger memory capacities, but the Banshee still has some magic in it.
The Banshee is has 16 megabytes of RAM (Random Access Memory)....

Pros: Cheap.

Boo! Hiss!

This video card gave me nothing but trouble from the moment I popped it into my motherboard to the moment I finally tossed it in favor of a REAL video card (the voodoo card from the same company).
