…how much does it cost? must be very expensive
huh? no need to buy the hardware jst use the software with on board chipset ?!?!?! then whats the point of buying the XFI sound card !?!?!?!
@Wing Loon: Free of charge for the trial version. Not sure about the full version.
@Gerald: CPU has enough power can emulate all X-Fi features like EAX 4.0. Onboard sound chip can be tweaked to perform that. Buying a X-FI card will off load some CPU power to sound card (around 1-2 percent I think) and have EAX 5.0.
Any idea of if this will work for add-in cards, such as a xonar? Or is it only for realtek chipsets on gigabyte mobos?
I’ve been looking for something to run EAX 3/4 in older games.
Anybody knows where I can pay for this !! links ?!
