The Guru of 3D posted a review on the Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio (PCI Express)



Bordering on false advertisement, Creative's latest X-Fi isn't an X-Fi at all, it's a new rev of the Audigy series using the X-Fi drivers and gliding on the PCI Express bus. The EAX gaming enhancements are gone, however, in favor of the more usable Crystallizer and CMSS3D functions. The X-Audio does provide a good value with decent performance, stability, and last but not least, is does sound good. Perhaps theres something wrong with it? Well, don't let the skillfully androgynous chick on the box fool you. Lets read on and find out what's really under the, er, hood.
