Hello all, I'm new to this forum community and i hope you guys can help me out! I just purchased a new custom computer and a geforce 7600gs. Most of the game that i want to buy require a DirectX 9.0 compatible sound card.
So first off which, if not all sound blaster cards are 9.0 compatible? Secondly, between the x-fi series and the audigy series, which are the best cards for the money?
I'm looking at a Sound Blaster Audigy 4 7.1 24 Bit OEM for $39.99 and under the cards application requirements, it says that an 8.1 directx graphics card is needed. Does this mean that the card will not work with my 7600gs since it is a directx9.0?
I'm also looking at a Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty Pro Series for $106.99. I want something with amazing audio but not a hack out of the wallet. I think i might be willing to spend the $100.00 on the x-fi but i just want some professional expertise before i make any final decisions.
Thank you for your help and I look forward to your replies!!
