The Voodoo Banshee PCI 16 MB was a graphics card by 3dfx, launched on June 22nd, 1998. Built on the 350 nm process, and based on the Banshee graphics processor, in its 500-0013-04 variant, the card supports DirectX 6.0. Since Voodoo Banshee PCI 16 MB does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The Banshee graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 137 mm² and 4 million transistors. It features 1 pixel shader and 0 vertex shaders, 1 texture mapping unit and 1 ROP. Due to the lack of unified shaders you will not be able to run recent games at all (which require unified shader/DX10+ support). 3dfx has paired 16 MB SDR memory with the Voodoo Banshee PCI 16 MB, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 100 MHz, memory is running at 100 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the 3dfx Voodoo Banshee PCI 16 MB does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 15 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x VGA. Voodoo Banshee PCI 16 MB is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI interface.
