The hardware race keeps getting louder. Creative Technology said it has added an extraordinary new 16MB 2D/3D graphics card to its award-winning 3D Blaster line of graphics accelerators. Available at a breakthrough price of US$129.99 (US$99.99 after US$30 manufacturers mail-in rebate for the US and Canada only), 3D Blaster Banshee combines the best of both worlds — exceptional 3D game play and outstanding 2D performance — all on a single card.

Based on 3Dfx Interactive’s exciting new Voodoo Banshee chip, the 3D Blaster Banshee combines an entirely new state-of-the-art 128-bit 2D engine, 128-bit VGA and video support with the 3D rendering power of its powerful Voodoo2 technology.
