SB X-Fi Xtreme Gamer 7.1 vs. ASUS SupremeFX II

Xion · 20 Mar 2008 at 16:48

Hey all,

got my Maximus Extreme now, and at the moment im using the Creative SB X-Fi Xtreme Gamer 7.1 sound card (on Vista 64), but the board comes with its SupremeFX II card, which looks pretty good.

I was wondering if anyone knows which is better..for gaming? I would think the X-Fi right?...or not?

Thanks a lot,

The X-Fi will have better sound but the ASUS is more likely to have less driver headaches.

Well, in that case the X-Fi should be clearly better.
