X-Fi Music for games?
- Thread starter SoA
- Start date
I always thought that the "Extreme Music" version was the same as the rest of them, the exceptions being the front bay inputs on the higher end models and the Fatality versions added memory, so in my opinion the X-Fi music version would still be better than the Audigy 4 for games.

I have the X-fi extreme and I think it does an outstanding job in regard to gaming.
The X-fi in general has a problem on nFroce4 mobos, I my self have experienced this in the form of "popping/crackling" in certain games. Again... this isn't only the music experiencing these problems but the whole x-fi line up. Creative has formally acknowledged they know of the issue but thus far have made little progress on the issue.

Calling the X-Fi extreme music a music card was a serious mistake IMO, it seems to market that the product specializes in music applications, which it surely does not. The extreme music is a gaming card through and through, but it does well with music too.

"Just released"? The only drivers I am seeing are the ones released on july 3rd of 06 (Which I am using btw). If that is the case then I can honestly say the drivers fixed nothing for many of the people on other sites,forums, blogs, etc....
Check with your Asus... they may have updated their bios to accommodate for the x-fi. They won't state it directly so you will have to do some searching. If they do... go for it. If they don't... then take the chance. I can only hear problems in BF2 and they are very minor at that.
