yeah thanks! tested it today, works great. win98 took it as a normal Voodoo 2... so i got 1370 3dmark 2001 points on 640x480 16bit ;D

this card was used for the game "gauntlet dark legacy " 8)

That's some good results you got there and it's nice to see you got it up and running.

How many tests in 3DMark2001 did it skip?

i only run the tests that are neccesary for getting the final points... so that would be the 4 game tests... and this card (and any other voodoo on the planet ;D) runs only game 1 to 3. Game 4 is that nature scene, that doesnt run...

i did not test the theoretical tests, but i can say that pixel shader would also not work on any voodoo...

these results are so high because my voodoo PC is nearly high end.... ;)

Actually 640 x 480 or less would be nice since some of us are still on a modem.

3 800 x 600 pics are worse then 2 1024 x 768

Banshee was used on some game consoles, check out this ebay auction.

Yes I have already called some arcade hardware suppliers, wow you would have thought there was gold in them thar parts.

$200 for a Q3D Banshee!

I dunno, 800x600 images are better for me. My desktop res is now back down to 1024x768.

The refresh rate of 85Hz @ 1280x1024 was giving me headaches.

1024x768 @ 100+Hz. Much better! ;D

Maybe in your neck of the woods but not in my area.
