I had a banshee. I had a TNT2. I have an MX on the shelf. Banshee performed better in GLIDE than the TNT2 did in D3D. So if your games use both Glide and D3D, the Banshee will win. I was so dissapointed in the performance of the MX I gave up on it. But it probably is faster than a Banshee, I never compared them directly. At any rate, even if the MX is better in D3D than a Banshee is in Glide, the Radeom LE puts the MX to shame. Oh, I own one of those also, and I did compare the LE to the MX directly, where it performed over 20% better. Then I did the registry haks and it did even better still.
