Check out the pics of the soundcard, small...but you can see the APU and above that you can clearly see onboard RAM.

There is a review in it in PC Format (last month July).

Lower end card has 2mb while higher end cards have 64mb.

Looks like a fantastic card if it can live up to expectations

So should I hold off on that Audigy2 ZS, then? :rolleyes:

*edit* Oh wait:

The Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite Pro, priced at US$399.99, the Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty FPS, priced at US$279.99, the Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum, priced at US$199.99 and the Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic, priced at US$129.99, will be available this month at major retail outlets.

Well scrap that idea then...

I thought the whole idea of fatal1ty branded motherboards was lame, but sound cards too? pffft.

It was saying in the article ( you maybe able to find it on the PC Format website) that it would be briliant for games but in reality you may not notice the difference.

If you where a high end gamer it might be of use but its hard to justify that kind of money

the audio quality on those demo dvds with the audigy zs are amazing

in game audio is good too, but nothing like those demos

Try "The whole idea of pro-gaming".

Bastards trying to make money off my hobby.
And Fatal1ty is shít.

I like the idea of having a soundcard with 64MB of onboard RAM, so i'll get the FATAL1TY card, no problem to splash out €280 on a soundcard....i love the latest and greatest!!
