Now we need a TNT2 M64 vs Banshee vs CL-GD5446 grudge match.

BTW, are you running the standard Doom test? If so, then 74690/584 realticks = 127.89 fps, which is much faster than the Banshee.

I'm running regular doom - registered version.

Hmmm.... Banshee vs. 5446 showdown!
That would make a nice video for youtube.

Which timedemo? In other words, what is the gameticks to calculate fps from 584 realticks?

Custom E1M1 run which kanecvr recorded himself, not the standard philscomputerlab doom benchmark test.
It is mentioned in the first post above the DOOM chart.

Thanks James. I remember reading that now. Was just confused when he gave results in realticks on the 5446 rather than fps. I thought I could do the math myself. 😀

Hi all,

Thanks a lot everyone for all the information here.

I've read a lot in the forum regarding recommended graphic cards for retro PC (mostly for DOS gaming) and came across this thread where some of you really praise the Voodoo Banshee. I collected new-old-stock hardware recently to build a retro rig and was looking to find a new-old-stock Banshee, but couldn't find any for sale. I almost ended up purchasing 2 pieces of used Voodoo 2, 12MB in SLI mode (PCI) from eBay, but eventually found (and I still can't believe that I'm writing this) a new-old-stock factory sealed Voodoo Banshee (AGP) on eBay! It wasn't cheap though - €199 + €77 for international shipping from Spain. But I decided to go for it anyway as it's a vintage item that is very hard to find new. Attached pictures of the item from the listing. This was distributed in Spain so the box is in Spanish.
