Performance-wise, they're within a few percentage points of each other. One of the differences is that some of the early ones came with slower than 3Dfx spec 100mhz RAM, due to claimed shortages when all the card manufacturers were clamoring for it. Look for the Silicon Magic designation on the RAM chips. This is the fast RAM. I saw the STB Black Magic 12meg at EB for $150. They were one of the ones using the slower RAM on the early boards, but the Black Magic I got has the 100mhz RAM. Excellent deal. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. -- http://www.users.fast.net/~fusion1 http://www.off-road.com/~fusion1 (dirt bikes, rat bikes, rental car abuse...)

Say Hey All, The cheapest 3DFX is the Banshee. (90$ after rebate) I'm getting 36fps in My PII233 chokes down to 15-17fps with only 5 cars on track. For the truly bucks-down among us, try the Diamond 220 (Verite 2100), at about 50$ it runs all the 3d features perfectly. CAW

But without 32bit Colour 3D support it's a throw away card in 6 months time. I'd really reckommend those wanting a 3Dfx card to get a Voodoo2. At least you can keep that along side the card you'll need to run the real colour stuff coming after Xmas. Z.
