In early , 3dfx embarked on a new development project. PowerVR produced a similar 3D-only add-on card with capable 3D support, although it was not comparable to Voodoo Graphics in either image quality or performance. MS Windows 98 Build 4.

Creative 3Dfx Voodoo Banshee (CT 6750) 16MB SGRAM AGP 1x/2x Graphics adapter

Towards the end ofthe cost of EDO DRAM dropped significantly and 3Dfx was able to enter the consumer PC hardware market with aggressive pricing compared to the few previous 3D graphics solutions for computers. Sales of the Voodoo Rush cards were very poor, and the cards were discontinued within a year.

Banshee's 2D acceleration was the first such hardware from 3Dfx and it was very capable. Feedback If you are a seller for this product, would you like to suggest updates through seller support?

Creative 3D Blaster Banshee PCI

It provided only 3D acceleration and as such the computer also needed a traditional video controller for conventional 2D software. As 3dfx focused more bajshee the retail graphics card space, further inroads into the OEM space were limited.

The Creative Blaster Controls are well integrated with the display properties and are useful to the casual user or gamer or overclocker. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

In some cases it was shown to compete well with the GeForce 3trading performance places with the card on various tests.

A rare third version was produced which featured a Cirrus Logic 2D chip. The abstraction layers' overhead crippled performance in practice. It was a landmark and expensive achievement in PC 3D-graphics.

Originally, this was just a Voodoo3 modified to support newer technologies and higher clock speeds, with performance estimated blaaster be around the level of the RIVA TNT2.

Though at that time few games supported large textures and bit color, and those that did generally were too demanding to be run at playable framerates, the features "bit color support" and "x textures" were much more impressive on paper than bit color and x texture support.
