I'm confused about EAX support. Many cards say they support "EAX" but do not specify if that's 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 or what. I'm in the market for a cheap new card and I'm confronted with this issue. Here are my questions:
1) If a card "supports EAX" does that mean it supports ALL versions of EAX, or is there some hardware limitation that would make a card support (for example) EAX 2.0 but not EAX 3.0? In other words is each new EAX version just a software upgrade?
2) Do any non-Creative cards support EAX 2.0 and above?
