Pros & Cons
Pros
Speaking from an audiophile's perspective, this card is worth every penny and then some. It handles video and gaming well too, but music is its biggest highlight. The software that comes with the card allows you to craft a simulated sound stage from m... Read More
The sound of bullets rippling through the walls and base crashing with explosions is beyond this world. The highs are crisp, the mids are center stage and the lows are punchy and significant.
