• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Audigy 3 ALREADY!!??!

They usually release a new card in time for the Christmas season, and the ZS was last year, so they seem to be on track. As well, the article didn't say it was being produced, these were just the features it is going to have.

Probably it's a fair amount of speculation as well.
 
True, but at the same time you'd think there could be speculation on improving drivers. :rolleyes:

Finally, PCI Express is high-speed, serial, and point-to-point. Existing platforms that employ PCI share the interface's 133MB per second, however, PCI Express enables a >200MB per second between each 1x slot and the platform's core logic. The PCI-SIG explains the interface's serial nature by saying, "Serial bus architectures deliver more bandwidth per pin than parallel bus architectures, and they scale more easily to higher bandwidths. Serial bus architectures enable a network of dedicated point-to-point links between devices as opposed to the multi-drop basis of parallel bus architectures. This eliminates the need for bus arbitration, provides deterministic low latency, and greatly simplifies hot plug/hot swap system implementations."
 
I know people who are still using a ISA sound card. There will still be plenty of oportunity in the future to use your PCI sound card.
