Creative Labs 3D Blaster Banshee

Pros: Games run smoother in older machines
Cons: Difficult to install without crashing, constantly having to readjust color.

I purchased one of these cards so that I could play Unreal on my Aptiva 166. I took me a whole day to get the Mwave card & the blaster banshee to play nice together. Finally, I got it to work. Trouble was it crashed a lot, and the color monitoring...

Pros: High performance, low price
Cons: not fully DirectX certified

While I was in college, I wanted a graphics card that would allow me to play all of the new computer games, but I wanted to spend as little as possible. I looked at products by many of the top graphics card manufacturers and finally settled on the...

Pros: CHEAP, 16 Megs. of video memory, 250Mhz engine, Supports GLIDE.
Cons: Not too great D3D and OpenGL compatibility.

In the beginning of 1999, I was out to buy a new video card to replace my old 1 meg. video card my computer came with. I went to the local computer store, and was looking around. At first I had the intention of buying the famous 3DFX Voodoo 2 card which...

Pros: Good Price, adequate performance
Cons: Has no fan and can crash a lot because of the heat, some game problems, No ALT-TAB :/

I guess such could be said...the card is too HOT to handle....
And by this I mean exactly that...for a long time I have had some problems with the card....regarding random crashes and multiple blue screens...
Took me little time to realize that...

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...

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: Excellent price/performance ratio
Cons: Limited Win2k support, Only AGP 1x

Even though it has been on the market for sometime now, it still can keep up with the new boys in town. Just before 3DFX came out with its own line of 3d Graphics cards the banshee was born. The main feature when it first hit store shelves was it's...

Pros: Cheap.
Cons: Cheap.

Boo! Hiss!
