New soundcard

[goaliemike]

Well im just wondering if i get a creative Audigy 2 if i can play with the sound on BF2 at Ultra-High. And if yes would 25$ CDN be a good price for it.

And if anyone knows how to OC a A7V600-F id love to know (fujitsu modded the BIOS from this Asus board so i cant, stupid...)

Re: New soundcard

Well only the X-FI card can run the BF2 audio on the Ultra settings.

Before you go out and buy one. It's still buggy, there are beta drivers out there for X version. The one you are planning to buy is great. It will let you play on hardware stettings and high. Great improvement over software high. If you really want UltrHigh, the X serie is the only one which is supporting it for the moment. Mind you, in some comps it works perfect, but alot of people have trouble in ultra high hardware settings. It's a driver issue.

Re: New soundcard

Ok thx for the response. I do find 150$ is quite a bit since i just bought a few things recently. Well i guess il take the next one that comes out, cuz im gonna scrap my old socket A in a year or 2.

I used to have an Audigy 2 ZS in my rig. I bought a new X-Fi Extreme Music soundcard and I was AMAZED at the difference. Those two cards are no comparison.
No problems so far with buggy drivers. In fact I find the interface, and setting much more responsive and intuitive then with the Audigy2.
I can only recommend this card. Even if it means to save $$ and wait for a month or two more it's definatley worth it.
Audigy is 3 year old technology, and I wouldn't buy that. Better save your money and play with onboard sound until you can afford something decent.
But you might want to wait to invest when you buy an new CPU/GPU

Re: New soundcard

Well i do have a SB Live for my 5.1 logitech's, its pretty old too. But then again socket A is relly old, im at its limit with my 3000+. So i guess il wait for the new ones when i change to a new rig.
