Creative Labs 3D Blaster Banshee

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...

Pros: low price, quite good performance
Cons: no advanced function like T&L

Creative Labs Voodoo Banshee is one of the most powerfull video card in the past, the speed are preety fast, but today it's no more suitable for power user, the installation is preety easy, the price is cheap, the drivers is always up to date, but if you...

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...

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: 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,...

Pros: cheap
Cons: kind of old

This one is one of the hotest product last year, but time passed by and we don't need it for our rocket computer anymore.

by the way, this baby still kicks ass, you will not need much much more powerful video graphic card for your daily...

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...

Pros: fast graphics
Cons: none

I bought the Banshee for the low price of one hundred dollars and it has served me well so I must give rave reviews on it. This is a great graphics card for the price. I can play any game with it and I haven't found any problems resulting from...

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...

Pros: Very compatible
Cons: None

The Banshee offers a Great Level of performance for its price(i paid $150) but i know its even cheaper now. It has a very wide range of settings and its screen resolution can be set very high. It feature 16mb of memory making it very fast. One of the...

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: 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: 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: Price, great quality, exceeds most 3d gaming needs,Very easy to control
Cons: None

I haved stayed up for the past week playing computer games until my eyes hurt and my fingers cramped all because all my new 3d-card. I was told it would play any game on the market, combined with my 400mhz 64Ram AMD K6
system. And it did. Very well...

Pros: Cheap.
Cons: 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).

I do not know exactly...

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, 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: Excellent retail pricing, adequate graphics, Lots of memory!
Cons: Not the most recent chipset. Runs warm!

I've never been a gamer, so the need for an outstanding video card was never there. But when I built my latest PC, I wanted something better than my Matrox Mystique 2MB PCI. I saw a great deal on the Creative Banshee, and I had heard that the chipset...

Pros: Good for Graphic degsign
Cons: Have to reload drivers every time you turn around

This video card is so horrible I purchased one about a year ago and spent way too much money on this product ($150.00). I brought this product home when I was building my new system which is a AMD k6-2 400, w/ an Asus motherboard, 40x Asus CD Rom, hp...

Pros: price
Cons: not as good as a voodoo3

The creative labs blaster banshee is a 16 MB video 3d accelerator which is very cost efficient. It is installed into any open PCI expansion slot, and is easily set up. You can use the drivers that come with it, or you can indstall any...

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...

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: cheap
Cons: slow

I try to use this product, however I test it several times.. the resolutions is not very good. when you try to run a big game such as action game, you will see a slow motion move! well for better alternative I recommand dimond tnt2! it's fast and high...
