DIAMOND MONSTER FUSION AGP DRIVER

Because it has virtually no AGP capabilities! Maybe a Diamond lunatic? A Voodoo2, or any other chipset which has two separate texture processors can render that surface in a single pass as in a single pass of a brush from the example above while a Banshee, or any other chipset which only has a single texture processor, must make two passes as in two strokes of a brush to render the entire surface. I believe it, the 2D is decent for a regular user who views pics or watch movies. Using the same hdd and other items!

Yes, all current and slightly older Diamond video cards have InControl Tools. This makes the Banshee faster than the V2 when playing non-multi-textured 3D games but it falls short quite a bit compared to the V2 which has 2 texel-units when playing multi-textured 3D games such as the synonymous Quake While the 2D image quality could definitely be improved, for most users with 17" or smaller monitors, the Banshee shouldn't be a huge disappointment. The other well-known Banshee card maker who though fully added that combo was Asus, but it's combo is taller because it uses cheaper but standard heatsink and a screwed on fan.

The results are fine till 8mb. Does much the same thing as Direct3D and Glidebut does it on any computer you care to name.

If you play your first person shooter in single player mode and you're happy with Voodoo 2-level by graphics, the Monster Fusion will diiamond better than fine. Adjusting the "gamma" of an image or of an image acquisition device gives you monsrer way of brightening or darkening without losing as much detail as a straight brightness adjustment.

Problem disappeared when using 3Dfx reference drivers! It's bold and eye-catching, just like the box cover of the retail Fusion board. Well, to be honest, it ain't that exciting. Powerstrip showed that the default core-speed is Mhz and the memory-speed is Mhz!

The Monster Fusion can maintain an 85Hz refresh rate all the way up to by pixels in 24 bit; it supports x, but only at 60Hz. This helped me halfway only; Installing windows again helped me very much. The Banshee's 3D electronics are much the same as the Voodoo 2's, except it doesn't have multitexturing - which makes it a bit slower for games that support multitexturing, like Quake 2 and Unreal.

The 3D Rendering Features as dictated on Diamond's web-site are: Chipset mounted cooling fan Supported API s: Little did we know it would be the last 3dfx based card from Diamond. Refresh rates below about 72Hz cause visible flicker; higher rates don't. Diamond once again armed their Monster-2 line with the Voodoo-2 chip and 3dfx reigned for an even longer time as the fastest gaming solution thanks to the in-built Scan-Line-Interleave SLI technology that allows another Voodoo-2 based card to pair up with the 1st one provide higher resolutions and frame-rates.

I was shocked too and I fusjon meddling with Diamond properties as well as the new sections installed under display properties, but all was of no help.

Along the same note, fusuon beta-reference Bansshee cards in the begining had TV-out but in the final version, they removed it to cut costs doesn't seem to help from the look of the price tag! You can see that I've clicked elsewhere on the desktop but because of the InControl Tools, I can get the start-menu at the exact place that I've clicked.

This was on a hot Sydney night, but just the same - don't get the idea that this cooling system is so great that you can overclock without a care. This is the dot layout of a standard "shadow mask" monitor. All Banshee cards can't use the DIME function offered by AGP, hence they can't diamonx system memory for texturing if the texturing fuxion more than the local memory available on the card.

It's either the games don't use this filtering method or the filtering is somehow turned off when the drivers detect a familiar benchmark running, to boost results.

Voodoo Banshee was and is 3Dfx's second 2D-3D combination chipset. Don't ask why, just do it.
