Verdict: Good, but poor Vista support.
I have had the X-Fi Xtreme Gamer since February and the difference from the onboard sound on my ASUS P5B-Plus is phenomenal. The sound is clear and crisp and the card was easy to install. Why the low mark I hear you say? I have had difficulty getting Alchemy to work and as I switched to vista when at the same time I have never had the delights of using the EAX effects in games. Ever. As such I am a little annoyed because the card sounds so good when playing music through my Logitech X-530's. It is an improvement over my old sound facilities but I would like the EAX to work and as it doesn't I feel a little ripped off.
