X-Fi... Xtreme audio or Xtreme Gamer?

Hi guys,



I was wondering about which of these two sound card would be best for me



Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio

or

Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer



I will be using my computer for the following:

1. Music - every day

2. Games - somewhat often

3. Movies - on occasion



The Xtreme Gamer is nearly double the price of the Xtreme Audio but I was wondering how well they would be for what I want.



Is the Xtreme Gamer any good for music and movies and is the Xtreme Audio adequate for games?



I will be using logitech G51 5.1 speakers



Some advice would be terrific.... thanks heaps

please somebody give me a hand here

X-treme gamer is better, in everything. Remember, if its for games, its the best, as games are one of the most demanding pieces of software available.

What's better the xtreme gamer or fatal1ty?

fatal1ty is better, and the price reflects that

the fatal1ty has the onboard RAM, which i don't want so I suppose I will go for the Xtreme Gamer

why don't you want onboard memory? it's memory dedicated only for sound instead of using some of your main memory

because from what i have been reading, it is only used in selected games, games which i haven't even heard of or play

I have the Xtreme Audio and it seems to be good enough for me, while it's got software effects as opposed to hardware effects on the FATAL1TY card. But it is a lot cheaper and if you have a powerful PC anyway there's not a lot of point. I play games a lot and switching from itegrated to this card made little to no difference to me in terms of FPS.
