XtremeGamer Sound Card Upgrade?

Would it be worth it to upgrade from a Sound Blaster Live! 24bit to a X-fi XtremeGamer? For better sounding music and games?

What about the Xonar DX?04dcarraher

Dx2 would be the best card if you have the money.

Well then I'll think I get one.

Don't use it in Vista.

Looks like a very old card...

It's a huge difference if the game supports EAX sound. Try a game like F.E.A.R. Disable and enable EAX and listen. You should notice a huge difference even as you navigate through the menu.LifesonFan2112

Gosh, I never thought myself to have a case of 'tin ear', but I must. I barely noticed a difference at all going from onboard sound to the X-Fi.kodex1717
