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...

Cheap, but powerful!!

by IGM702 , Oct 01 '00
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...

It gets the job done

by bbabiuk , Dec 27 '99
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...

Makin' Me SCREAM Like A Banshee

by Rusted0ne , Feb 03 '00
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...

great 3d accelerator

by robberbaron , Feb 04 '00
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...

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...

Banshee Blaster waste of money

by pdtjarks , Feb 25 '01
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...
