Today i received a new Banshee : a PACE 3D EDGE (by PMC Electronics Ltd)

Card and Package are really interesting :
- Version Agp
- 16 Mo Sgram EtronTech 8 ns
- Composite (Pal) Video with scart cable supplied and S-Video Out
The TV control panel allows you to :
* switch the tv output
* adjust the brightness and the colour
* modify the  image size
* move the image
* stabilize the image

- Games :
* F22 - Total Air War
* Forsaken
* Battle Zone
* Wargasm

- Drivers for Win95, Win98 (1.01.02) and NT4 (1.01.02 RC4)

A Banshee rather amazing with its 2 outputs that you don't see "often" on the other Banshee's.

I would not surprized if the card can able to run faster the usual 100 mhz though this is a passive cooler and not a fan so warning with the fast machines.

What's missing ? a DVD player perhaps (like you can see with the Diamond).

Good user guide and a nice box (black with 3D Edge written on it) "Enjoy stunning 3D Games"

5 years guaranted and technical support "life time" ; well only a problem PMC is now out of business.

What do you think about your PACE 3D EDGE ?   Grin


Nice little card, mine was missing the Scart cable. The card will output NTSC if you use the 3dfx reference drivers.

I ended up with 2 Gigabyte Banshees if your are looking for one, most of the Banshee sites consider the Gigabyte board the best of the breed due to the ram and active cooling.

Yes, nice and interesting card because IMHO was not expected that the card outputs NTSC.  


I thought it was a hardware issue till I started playing with drivers. Had no problem running my TV in the states with the UK Pace3d card with reference drivers. With the Pace drivers it only outputs PAL.

I thought that the Diamond Banshee (agp) (the version pci is different) was the best.

No box for either, but I do have a boxed Fusion (and 2 loose Fusion, 1 AGP 1 PCI)
