Once again we've got a solid Voodoo Banshee reference design product (labeled with Skywell's company logo) up for review here at Sharky Extreme. The Magic TwinPower - behind this somewhat cryptic name we find a board based on 3Dfx's latest 2D/3D offering, the 3Dfx Banshee, packing 16Mb of 125Mhz SGRAM and running at a core clock of 100Mhz as they all do - no surprises there then. So just to remind you of what's what here is a list of the specs:

  • 3Dfx Voodoo Banshee chipset
  • AGP 1X Support
  • 16Mb 125Mhz SGRAM
  • 250Mhz RAMDAC
  • Supports 2D resolutions from 640 x 480 @ 8bit to 1600 x 1200 @ 32bit and beyond
  • AVI and MPEG-1 Video playback acceleration
  • Avilable for both PCI and AGP
  • 3D features include: Tri-linear filtering, Anti-aliasing, multi-texturing effects (bump-mapping etc) and Sub-pixel accuracy.
  • APIs supported: GLIDE, D3D and OpenGL
  • Performance: 100Mtexel/Mpixel fillrate, 4 Million tri/sec polygon throughput
