It’s a sound card. So what?!
The sound card can be the most overlooked component in your pro gaming computer. With so many motherboard manufacturers providing onboard sound what’s the point in buying something else.
Whilst these onboard cards do an adequate job of transferring the sound of your M1 GARAND from your game to your eardrums, and to be honest it probably sounds ok.
Your processor will be doing quite a bit of the work involved in this process not to mention the memory that converting bits to audio takes.
This is where a dedicated Sound card comes into it’s, they’re on a seperate card so not crammed onto the motherboard allowing for better heat dissipation and they have ther own resouces to free up vital system power to deal with the rest of your gaming.
Enter Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Series.
