I tested several games regarding playability and performance on a 3dfx Voodoo Banshee. For testing, I used my Banshee Retro-PC which is configured as follows:
- Intel Celeron (Mendocino) 533 MHz
- 256 MB SD-RAM @ 66 MHz
- Gigabyte GA-630 AGP 16 MB
- Windows 98 SE /w unofficial SP2.1d + DirectX 8.1
- Driver: Raziel Evolution v1.00.00b
