Well, I was talking to this guy, in a deathmatch one night, and he said he had just gotten rid of his Monster card (not sure if he had the voodoo2 version though). He said he didn't like it, it only gave him something like 60fps, while most of us toil away at below 30! Anyway, he traded it in and bought the Pure 3d and was pushing anywhere from 75-100fps. Mind you, this is only what I heard from him and have no proof and don't know what his config was. I only have a PowerVR M3d (heavy sigh). From what I've read though, the voodoo2's are all comparable in performance, so much so, that you probably wouldn't know the difference unless you ran 3d winbench or some kind of benchmark test.
