From Soundstrom to XFI music, even for $80, not a very great update.

umcpgrad said:on the side note.. I already got audigy zs 2 plat..
is this really a big upgrade over it?
and should I get the x-fi
or a gamecube?

um.. no? no current games make a difference with xram. Audigy 2 and up do sound processing on card; so theres no or less cpu hit for audio while gaming. Its a noticeable difference. The x-fi does this as wellkohan69 said:That's only with xram

Davenow said:BUT I play a lot of BF2, and I read a lot of reports of stuttering issues with the X-fi and BF2. Last I checked on creatives website there was no definative fix.
Anyone have any info on this?

krauster said:I went for the X-fi Xtreme Music deal, went to pick it up and was given the X-fi Platinum. Works for me! Will be curious if the rebates still get accepted.
Justinkoko said:It still helps in games...even without ram.
$80 is a steal...

cold solder said:Fantastic deal if you need a sound card upgrade. Gotta love the first feature on the CC website: "Better-than-original sound". I admire products that defy the laws of physics.

Specialist[X] said:i just picked mine up...
well from what it seems... based on the games ive tested it out on... call of duty 2, cs source, bf2 w/xfi enabled... various songs like trance and whatever... contemporary movie themes...
maybe its just my ears or something, but i dont notice that much difference coming from an sb live 5.1. i mean despite setting everything on the highest quality in the sound options, there seems to be little to no difference. i must say im a bit dissapointed, and to me i guess 85$ after tax/coupon/rebate is still too much for what im hearing right now.
Sinster said:You will... Escpecially with headphones on and with your CMSS - Surround in headphone mode. If you have BF2 you can set your Sound to Ultra High and really notice the different sounds.
Specialist[X] said:sadly i dont use headphones... i probably will after i transfer in the fall... yea and i did set the xfi on ultra high... but maybe my ears just suck. im contemplating making a return on this as i dont think its worth the money in such meager differences for me. but for everyone else, enjoy!![]()
