Banshee solution

4 posts by 2 people · 07 Jan 1999 - 08 Jan 1999

Recently I posted a situyation where I could not get my Creative Labs Banshee Blaster (16mg) to work properly. After about 1 hour the textures started to break down. Heat, seemed to be the problem. My dealer suggested adding a fan. I opted instead to change grahics cards to a Canopus Pure 3d card. Situation resolved and i might add that the graphics are even more stunning. I know that they are expensive, but they certainly are of higher quality then the CL cards. BTW I sent CL a message asking for help to resolve my problem and now 5 days later do not have a response from them. In this day and age of customer service they score a big fat ZERO with me. One lost sale. Tony

Tony... Is the Canopus card also a Banshee chip card? I also have the Blaster Banshee and generally like it, but have seemingly heat-related texture problems also. How does the cost of the two cards compare? How's the Canopus software? Thanks. P.S. Stop posting those "overnight success" stories, you're making me question my worth as a human being. ;-)
Jack it is a stand alone card. I already had an ATI Expert 8 mg card so I threw that back in. The Canopus card is VERY expensive at $324 Cdn (about $2 US Dollars,,hehe, really about $200 US) The software is very easy to use and has Gamma settings, it also alows you to save screen settings for various games. I highly recommend it. BTW no overnight success, 2 years of competitive GP2 set me up for this game. Take Care Tony
