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...

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,...

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, 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...

The most bang for the buck

by drez14 , Apr 21 '00
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...

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...

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...

Cheap, yet leaves food for though

by devbert , Jan 23 '00
Pros: Good minigl, pretty decent 2D
Cons: Not many features or Bundle
I purchased the Voodoo Banshee in the Winter of 98' at $100, including the 20 buck rebate. At the time, it was that or a TNT. I wish I had gone with the TNT. Not that the VB is poor, it just doesn't give me some of the features I would have liked. Well...
