Chris Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Toms Hardware Review's the new Creative sound card [4 versions to be offered] with its 51.1 million transistors for the audio processor.We should stress the fact that Creative, unlike most of its competitors, has always included a true audio processor on its cards, as opposed to simply using a codec and putting the processing load on the CPU.Looks to be the dogs whatsits in sound card technology.Not cheap [as you would expect] but if you like your audio [i know i do] then it might be worth it.With X-Fi, Creative has ushered in the audio of the 21st century, and the actual listening experience - like the measurable performance - is very convincing. If sound quality is at all important to you and you want to take advantage of the most recent advances in sound reproduction, it's clearly the best choice, regardless of what your main activity is. And best of all, the price is not exorbitant: the basic card, priced at around $130, is sufficient to let you get the benefit of all the advantages we've listed without leaving a big hole in your wallet.
