For the hardcore gamer who cares about nothing but sheer speed, the Voodoo 2 SLI is the clear winner. For even more power, pair them up with a TNT card (you need a 2D card, remember?). For those of you on a sub-$200 budget, the TNT is the card for you. The TNT is just as fast, if not faster than a single Voodoo 2, offers excellent visual quality, and has excellent 2D abilities. While nowhere near Voodoo 2 SLI speed, the TNT really is the ultimate card for the budget minded gamer. The Banshee fits in the "I want to buy a card that can play games" category. It's powerful enough to last you well into next year and best of all, it's cheap. With the release of the Banshee, there's no reason to consider the Savage3D or G200. Yes, both of those chipsets support 32bpp while the Banshee doesn't, however, neither of them are powerful enough to render at that color depth while maintaining a decent frame rate.
