S3 Savage3d clocks in at around 112 FPS in Forsaken!.@ 800x600 per review.
Here'a a review from Games Domain Review (ie. Banshee Forgiven performance..)
Enough of the technical stuff
Let's face it, we could debate the merits of SGRAM over SDRAM till we were blue in the face; what we really want to know is how the Banshee shapes up running games! Andy Keane, vice-president of marketing for 3Dfx, showed us a few top-notch 3D games running through a Banshee on a PII-400 and, for the most part, things were pretty impressive. Forsaken achieved an average framerate around 60fps, whilst Incoming and Unreal both clocked in slightly slower with averages around 55fps. The slowest framerate I saw was for Incoming at 28fps, but Andy insisted that the 3Dfx engineers were aiming for a final Banshee performance no slower than 40fps. So, it's slower compared to a Voodoo2, but it's still shifting. I was intrigued to find out just how good Andy was at Unreal , but one of the other reporters there wanted to see a demonstration of a spinning doughnut instead. Some people are strange indeed. From what I saw it appears that our Mr Keane would not stand a chance against me in multiplayer Forsaken :)

The S3 Savage3D appears to about the same 2D performance as a Matrox Millenium II.....and for 3D performance, as you can see the 3DFX SLI combo is still faster in Forsaken...against a low cost S3 part!
