Sneak Peek At Banshee is the story today, and it fits right into the fast-moving PC gaming pileup of June 1998. bootNet has gotten a sneak peek at 3Dfx’s Banshee. 3Dfx has completed the first sampling of silicon for its next 2D/3D single-board solution, called Banshee, the company confirmed today. Company officials say they expect Banshee to offer the fastest 2D performance in the world, while offering 3D performance consumers expect from 3Dfx. For players keeping one eye on patches, demos, hardware, and whatever the big studios are cooking up next, this is exactly the kind of update that can disappear in a day and matter a month later.
