i don't think that commercial banshee boards could be very special rare as they become a high prices or something like that.
in my mind only prototypes or/and quantum banshees could be as special enough as collectors would give more money out for them than for other third party brands.

or is the 3300 so special for you, that you really want to have one ? if yes, why ? it's sometimes really interesting to see how other collectors think about some products  ;)

when i look through the great 3dfx collectors thread i can see that only 2 or 3 collectors own this card so i think its rather rare...

hmmm but it's always a question in which way you will build your collection.

for me it's not important to have from every card all the brands...

i also have a joytech banshee, it looks like noone other here has this card: i cannot find the fcc id number on the fcc page, but if i use google there's a thread where a user search drivers for this card and labeled it as a joytech board:


before somebody screams up: i never used the card without a heatsink ;)

you can over-exaggerate the point ::)
We get your drift by now, it may be rare for a production card that isn't seen in many numbers, there are much rarer things ;)

when it was produced, maybe it was just a OEM card meant for OEM systems, that boxes were never made, just maybe a few who knows.

Cards like these were made by the millions.
here some nice info about the Lightspeed 3300
