The Vengeance performs typically to the Banshee mold that we've seen so far, which means that it's not as fast as a TNT-equipped card, but a true hell-raiser for their lower cost range. (Current Banshee cards are as much as $100 cheaper than their TNT counterparts)

The 2D benchmark scores are impressive, and lend credibility to 3Dfx's early boastful claims about the Banshee's speed under Win95/98 apps. Visual quality during all of the 3D tests was identical to the sharp images we're used to seeing from Voodoo2-based cards on the market.

Important to many as well is the Win95/98 desktop visual acuity, and in testing up to a resolution of 1600 x 1200 on a 21" monitor we rank the Vengeance fairly high up on the scale. The Matrox Millenium G200 still seems to lead the pack in the quality it displays above 1280 x 1024 in 2D apps, but the differences between it and the TNT or Banshee are greatly reduced when compared to the huge quality gaps that occurred in earlier chips like the Riva 128ZX.
