The Xtreme Gamer version shown here shouldn't be confused with the previous Fatal1ty gaming versions of the card - there's no front panel connector, nor is there any onboard RAM for caching sounds. We like X-Fi, then, and we like the new range refresh even more, mainly because it's a price cut across the board. A 109dB signal-to-noise ratio and THX certification can't be argued with, even if you're not using the full 7.1 output. Moving from an integrated sound chip to an X-Fi is a noticeable leap in quality. Similarly, no amount of 'Crystallisation' (Creative's neat sound enhancement function) is going to save a badly encoded MP3 from sounding like cats dancing on a tin roof in the rain.īut it does make games sound richer.
