 Features
Get the fastest performance and the most intense, realistic audio in your games

Designed specifically for gamers, the Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Professional Series sound card delivers the fastest audio performance and the most intense, realistic sound in all your games. Plus it features X-RAM for an even bigger quality and performance boost in games with X-RAM support. It's Sound Blaster...on steroids!

Get the speed you need when every second counts
Win big with a powerful audio processing engine that boosts real game performance by up to 15% over motherboard audio and still gives you the fullest audio effects possible!

Boost audio performance even further in games that support X-RAM
Free up system memory and improve overall gaming audio quality and performance in game titles like Battlefield 2, Prey, Quake 4, Doom 3 and others that take advantage of X-RAM.

Hear your enemies before they find you
X-Fi CMSS-3D Headphone creates nine virtual speakers over stereo headphones for positional audio that's so accurate you'll swear you're in a room full of speakers. Multichannel speakers are even better with audio cues that are so accurate you can actually locate enemies by sound.

Immerse yourself in a new dimension of sound
Bullets whiz past your head. Explosions shake the room. Take reality to the next level with EAX® ADVANCED HD™ sound effects in games.

Get lost in the details
Revitalize your compressed game sounds with X-Fi Crystalizer and hear crisp, sharp highs and bone-crushing lows for the most intense gaming experience ever.

Restore the details and vibrance to your music and movies
X-Fi Crystalizer™ repairs the damage that MP3 and WMA compression causes and intelligently enhances high and low frequencies for cleaner music playback and more realistic movie sound.

Expand your stereo music and movies into surround sound
X-Fi CMSS®-3D matches the sound to your headphones or multichannel speakers and positions specific audio elements—such as voice in the center and ambient sounds in surrounding channels, so your music and movies sound more alive.

Enjoy truly cinematic movie sound
The Sound Blaster X-Fi sound card delivers THX® certified surround sound and includes DTS™ and Dolby Digital®-EX decoding for an unbeatable DVD movie watching experience.

Advanced audio and music creation features
A dedicated audio creation mode supports near transparent conversion between any resolutions, digital-matched recording, low-latency ASIO support and more.

Fatal1ty's choice for Audio!

“When I'm competing I need top-class performance and the most realistic sound to help me know where my opponents are and Sound Blaster X-Fi really delivers for me...there is nothing faster or better.”

This is my second one the first had Xram issues It locked up crackling noises and I had to turn down the setting lower than the on board sound.The forums for these issues was almost 150 pages for one topic. I took a big chance getting another one but this second card has ran smooth and no double reboots and blue screens I am really happy with this card.      » READ MORE

This sound card delivers great sound and allows 7.1 speaker setup. Although a little pricey, you get good Sound Blaster quality and product support through their website.      » READ MORE

 Rated by Wylo, February 19, 2008

This is a gamer card, and I would not recommend it if you wanted a professional audio editing card. Nevertheless, definitely buy this card if you are looking to upgrade from onboard audio and are using high-quality speakers like Logitech Z-5500. If you use low-end speakers, you will likely not hear a noticable difference. The X-Fi series has had some known incompatabilities so make sure to research whether it'll work with your system.       » READ MORE

If you still use onboard chip/sound card, hurry to get this, it's DAY AND NIGHT. This is really an awesome sound card at a very decent price.      » READ MORE

In my mind the benefits outweigh the price of a sound card vs just using onboard sound, I would highly recommend buying this card as my experience has given me more than satisfaction!       » READ MORE

Excellent Card, would be even better if Creative and Microsoft addressed the 4 gig barrier issue alot of people are having with this card. Other than that the sound is spectacular and combined the with logitech z5500 I can hear anything and everything in any game. :-)      » READ MORE

I got it because of a rebate.. doe it worth it ? yes if you upgrade from an onboard audio solution But not it don't really worth it you have a Audigy 2 ZS already. Not many games yet support this fancy XRAM feature. If you are looking for you first dedicated sound card .. get it.      » READ MORE
