It looks to be a very impressive card. My only worry is general game compatibility. Creative cards have always been pretty well supported. Thus why I have gone Creative most of the time.

Looks great. I would get it just for the looks, specifically the color lighting. First time I've seem that case/cover looking piece as if it was a stock GPU cooler.

First time I've ever seen internally lit ports. That deserves a raise of hands, really does.

That card looks great. Love the light up audio jacks. Pretty useful when you're under a dark desk! I hope its good audio quality though, especially with the PCI-E version.

I hope this sound card is really good and comes with both a PCI-Express and PCI-Express 1x version.


I can finally used those top PCI-Express 1x Slots and leave the PCI-Express slots open for... something.

Yeah a PCI-e 1x slot version would be nice... And hopefully with the drivers installed you can turn those LEDs off... Hehe, or I'll just have to get out the electrical tape (or find a sound system that uses them all).

Agreed. My x-fi is bad eough but with my 2zs, it doesn't even have the faded, colored plastic strips. I can barely see what I'm doing back there sometimes.

So you are saying sometimes you can? Because I don't think I have ever been able to get mine in the right slots without lots of frustration. Lighted holes is like a dream come true

lol, I've gotten lucky. Once in a while I still break out that fold-out getting you started quickly guide. Then I can reach back and count the holes from the left or right but there is still no guarantee that I'll get them in correctly.
