Creative Recon3D Fatil1ty Pro

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16829102042

Pro's
Quad Core sound processor
Creative drivers for this are flawless ........ first time in generations
Included mic is very sensitve and works great
Head phone booster is off the hook, Tanks and helicopters are deafining
Great gaming and positinal sound field
works seemless with Windows 8
Cool red lights ........... oooooh

Con's
Music and movie playback is less than stellar
It is after all a Creative product ......
Too much for what it is, can be had for 99 bucks if you wait for a sale

As said in pros and cons if gaming is your bag, grab it quick , best gaming card I have owned

If playback is you gig, just say no, better off checking out the Asus line up

Um wow? Creative has a sound card that has functional drivers?
Outstanding!

Thx for the feedback and sharing Witchy

I just use the Realtek Optical output on my motherboard and feed it into a Yamaha amp with surround decoder for 5.1. I've never been happier with my gaming sound. I do the same for my home theater setup except i do 7.1 surround in there.
