So yet another Voodoo Banshee product goes under the hammer in the Sharky Extreme labs and yet again passes the entire test regime with flying colors. There were no 2D errors, faults, and/or crashes, nor were there any Bios errors. All the games I tested worked flawlessly and add to the fact that the board is so simple to install, the average PC user will feel right at home. The rest of the drill you already know, hard-core Quakers and dual TMU lovers steer clear etc… But in sum, Quantum3D's Raven is the most competitively priced Voodoo Banshee product on the market. I know it seems rather strange for any Quantum3D product to be dirt-cheap but it is. And with the stonking games bundle, I'd stick my neck at far enough to say that if you're going to opt for a Voodoo Banshee product, then the Raven, from Quantum 3D, is the Voodoo Banshee of choice. An 'overall tastiness' rating of 3.5 is appropriate I feel because of the Banshee's limitations in terms of its technology as such. And I won't mention the games bundle again, except that in this instance it really did push the overall score up by half a fin. It's about bloody time that there was a decent games bundle about; anyway I'm off to play some NFL Blitz...
