At least stick PCIe on their top of the line Fatal1ty boards? It just strikes me a bit odd that Creative would rev the APU and not make such a big deal about it. This X-Fi also has the same basic set of features that youll find in all other X-Fis, namely the 24-bit, 96KHz record and playback, the Crystalizer, 7.1 surround sound, and the CMSS3D. The delays from then until now, about 12 months, were officially acknowledged as technical issues relating to the PCI Express bus itself. ![]() Creative showed this X-Fi at last years CES (that's 2006) sporting the PCI Express. It blew the DACs off the Audigy series, hands down.Ī case in point is todays specimen, the X-Fi PCIe XtremeAudio. There were also major improvements in the architecture too, including a nearly flawless sample-rate conversion engine, and seemingly limitless processing power. I mean, I still laughed, but that was about the XRAM. The X-Fi offered so many improvements over the Audigy series, it wasnt funny, new EAX, new Crystallizer, new driver model, new black PCB. ![]() It really was a great day for gamers and music lovers. ![]() When the original X-Fi came out it was the first major new architectural change for Creative and for sound cards in years.
