You may already have the latest sound and graphics hardware in your PC, but how do you know if you're getting all the power out of it you want and expect? In this new section, we've asked one of our technology partners, Hang Ngo of Creative Labs, to discuss how to trick out their cards so you can get the most out of your next game of Civ.
Sound Blaster X-Fi Series
Get the most out of your Sound Blaster X-Fi sound card by making sure you're playing while in Game Mode. The modal architecture of Sound Blaster X-Fi harnesses the full power of the X-Fi DSP into producing the fastest, most realistic gaming audio ever with features every gamer needs such as 128 Hardware Accelerated 3D voices and EAX 5.0.
Tweaking the audio is simple via the Game Mode console, a no-nonsense interface that houses all of the features that enhance your gaming experience. Choose the speaker mode that best fits your playback set-up, and CMSS3D (Creative's kick-ass 3D audio implementation) tailors a realistic and unique 3D audio experience regardless of whether you're using headphones, stereo, or multi-channel speakers. Sound Blaster X-Fi's 128 hardware-accelerated 3D voices are positioned with superior precision in both real and virtual speakers for an amazingly wide listening field. Easily customize the overall mix by adding effects that complement your taste such as Bass Boost, EQ, or even 24-bit Crystalizer which is used to sharpen and enhance sounds. Using the Mixer, add EAX reverberation to your voice and hear yourself within the game environment. With the Sound Blaster X-Fi, you'll always be at the top of your game, every time.
