Creative sound Blaster

 

Your video-games look wonderful if you have a powerful video card, but there is nothing that beats the "realistic feel" offered by a professional soundcard. And we have chosen to present the X-Fi Platinum Fatal1ty Champion Series from Creative. Like other sound cards from the X-Fi, it has the revolutionary X-Fi powerful audio processor, which delivers blazing-fast frame rates in games with hardware accelerated Direct X, while the X-Fi CMSS-3D module delivers incredible surround sound over stereo headphones for gaming, movies and music. Why is this X-Fi such a powerful audio processor? The chip offloads audio processing from the CPU, accelerating Direct X, OpenAL and EAX 5.0 games and providing realistic cinematic audio without impacting frame rates, with 64MB of X-RAM for fast loading of high-quality sounds. Also, the gamers need to know that this card was especially designed to bring out the best in terms of high quality and accuracy in the sounds from the game Unreal Tournament 3. Darragh O'Toole, Senior Brand Manager for Audio with Creative said: "The difference between gaming with motherboard audio and Sound Blaster X-Fi is stellar; X-Fi technologies put you right at the heart of the game" (...) "Unreal Tournament 3 deserves to be played on the best hardware to guarantee that the game sounds as good as the developers intended. Our partnership ensures that our existing customers know how great the game is and that new gamers know how much better their systems can sound with Sound Blaster X-Fi", he added. The developers of Unreal Tournament 3 worked closely with Creative to ensure that their game sounds as good as it looks when experienced using a Sound Blaster X-Fi sound card. The highly anticipated game offers support for advanced audio standards including EAX and OpenAL which can be enjoyed equally in Windows XP and Vista when the user has Sound Blaster X-Fi installed. So the fun is guaranteed in UT3, but the Creative sound card can bring out the best in music too, 24 bit and 192kHz quality level, along with the software media applications that come bundled or can be downloaded from the creative website. Unlike many people have said, this card (along with others from the X-Fi series) is supported under Windows Vista 32bit and 64bit. The price is quite acceptable too:$165.
