Excellent high-end sound card

Strengths:

Excellent sound quality, slight benefit in frame rate in some games

Weaknesses:

Cost, takes up a slot

Posted 1 year ago - The onboard sound on my motherboard was giving me fits with some games. Firmware updates didn't help. Decided it was time to go with a different hardware solution altogether. Went with a higher end card because my machine is an all-purpose box: DVDs, music, games. And I have decent Klipsch speakers that warrant a better-than-average card. This Creative card has not disappointed in that regard. Saw a definite but minimal improvement with CPU utilization too. Games that used to choke on audio (UT 3, I'm looking at you) now run appropriately. Costlier solution than some might require.

Great sound card, made well for games

Strengths:

Small form factor, nice sound, great for gaming

Weaknesses:

Extra software but some people want that I guess.

Posted 1 year ago - Very good card, especially now that the price is dropping. I really like the smaller size as I have a pretty full case and this size helps with cooling and air flow. Recommended sound card.

Great Hardware / Typical Creative Software

Strengths:

PCI-E Interface, great sound output, digital optical TOSLINK In/Out, easy installation

Weaknesses:

lacks HDMI and front panel headers, Creative drivers and software

Posted 1 year ago - I installed this card a replacement for an older Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty (PCI with Front Panel Expansion). One thing to remember - UNINSTALL OLD CREATIVE DRIVERS WHILE THE CARD IS STILL IN. Windows Vista hides drivers of any missing peripherals. Initially, the new drivers would not install because it saw the old drivers and I couldn't remove them without putting the card back in. Ultimately, I found a program to sweep away all the Creative software. After that, the drivers installed successfully. A quick tip - you can avoid Creative bloatware (and get the latest software) by going to Creative's website and download the latest drivers (without all the bundled software). Otherwise, its a great card. Rich full sound and low system resources make this a good card once you get past the Creative software.

no support from creative

Strengths:

good imitation of breakfast cereal

Weaknesses:

creative

Posted 1 week ago - creatives support is nonexistent. By the time they have support for windows 7 microsoft will have windows 8 on the market. Do some research, they make hardware not software or drivers. They never got full driver support for there products and windows vista. THEY JUST DON'T CARE snap crackle

X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional

Strengths:

Easy to install, drivers that came with the card worked fine (for once). No compatibility issues with any games. Music sounds great, far better than my onboard sound or old Audigy 2 ZS.

Weaknesses:

Bloated software, some menus or features are buried. Four speaker outputs on the card was not initially compatible with my Inspire P7800 speakers, had to buy an additional cable for 7.1 sound.

Posted 1 year ago - Overall I'm very happy with this sound card, it's a great replacement for my old card. The PCI-E interface is a nice feature as well. Creative is notorious for its driver problems but I haven't had any problems with this card so far.
