Creative X-FI?

ATI · 24 Apr 2006 at 21:07

hello all

i,m thinking of the x-fi extrememusic and i heard thats it does have issues with nforce4 based motherboards, any feedback on the card and the issue would be great.

i have the audigy 2 installed at the moment, would this cause an issue when i install the x-fi drivers once i uninstall everything .

thanks

Only the early cards had issues with NF4 mobos, they updated the revision shortly after launch

Iv just got an X-FI and works fine with my NF4 SLI board, and OH MY GOD, ITS AWESOME, way better than my previous SB Audigy, thats with the same speakers as well, getting s750's 2moz

did you have any issues installing the drivers for the x-fi after the uninstall of the audigy 2 drivers.

and does the x-fi have the eax console and controls

What I did was remove creative drivers, shut down pc, remove audigy, boot in safe mode, run driver cleaner removing anything thats creative. Shut down, install X-FI card and the drivers+software that came with it, then I installed the new drivers from the web after that, sorted!

Just got my x-fi working with my z-5500 and damn it sounds sweet so much better than i was expecting as i had an audigy 2zs before. Vast improvement. Bass is more punchy everythings clearer. I could rant for ages!!!

got mine as well there is aslight quality and clarity from the x-fi to the audigy 2, i think creative really dead well this time, havent tried it wiht games yet

The most ive noticed is the sharpness of the bass whereas with the audigy 2 my sub used to sound like it was farting with certain music. I must try it with games soon.
