Hi, I use stereo headphones for gaming and want a good surround sound experience. The RX is 7.1 the Z is only 5.1, what would be the best choice?

Can you really tell a big difference between all these sound cards if your using headphones? Ive been using the same Audigy 2 card since 2000.
I remember going from onboard to an Audigy 2. That was with speakers and I could tell a difference but that was also back in 2006 so I'm not sure how far onboard audio has come since then.Can you really tell a big difference between all these sound cards if your using headphones?

Use the Windows 7 drivers. They work just the same. They might act screwy sometimes but that's just normal for Creative drivers.Which drivers are you guys using for the Sound Blaster Z under Win8.1?
According to the Creative site there are no Win8.1 drivers...
Most modern games do support at least 7.0 output and that number will rise since Wwise now supports 7.1 output, at least on Windows PCs. As far as consoles, Wii supported Dolby ProLogic, Wii U does up to 5.1, PS3/4 can do 7.1, and the 360 was limited to 5.1, Xbox One can do 7.1.Most games aren't mixed for 7.1. Movies on the other hand are usually.
what's up with the positional audio as is...?
