I was recently googling Voodoo cards and for some reason, every time I come across mention of the Banshee, its talked about as if its some unclean thing that you shouldn't even be seen in public with.
What I don't see is why. All I've seen is vagueness about it not being as good as the Voodoo 3 (which, yeah, a card that came out prior is normally not as good as one that came out later). And yet even that is contradictory as I've also heard it basically is a Voodoo 3.
So what really is the deal with the Banshee? Why do people dislike it? Are there significant compatibility issues, or is this one of those "it was considered lame when it was new but for a retro build things may be different" kinda deals?
On that note here's a hypothetical: If you were hunting for a Voodoo, could only find V2s, V3s, and Banshees, and yet the V2s and 3s were always $60 but you found a working banshee for $30... is the card so bad that such a price difference would still not make it worth it, or are its flaws exaggerated?
Thanks in advance, I just wish I could find more definite info.
