3 out of 5 stars SB X-Fi Titanium   December 29, 2008
The card itself is fantastic however I had a hell of a time getting drivers to work properly with this thing. Finally I had to resort to recent beta drivers after the install of all the software on the CD failed to get the audio working 'properly'. Meaning Windows Vista found generic drivers for the device and installed them however none of the Creative software packages would run since they couldn't correctly detect a properly running card in the system. As noted once I got the card working properly it puts out incredible sound. Well done on the hardware front however typical Creative Labs trash software/drivers ruined what should have been an easy going experience. I will not be purchasing another Creative Labs piece of hardware again. I said that prior to purchasing this card. This time I'll have to stick with that ideal.

I am using this to connect my computer to my receiver. I'm using a HDMI cable for video and TOSLINK from this card for audio. I get excellent surround sound from DVDs that I watch this way.

I'm not what I would call a hardcore audiophile, but I like my music sounding strong and rich. I had an ASUS Xonar before this one, and I swapped it because the Xonar was not very good at games, which is the second use for the PC. I was afraid the X-Fi wouldn't live up the hype and I would lose music quality for games quality.
I was wrong. I cannot believe how incredible everything sounds. Music quality is perhaps the same or slightly better than with the Xonar, but gaming is just incredibly immersive.
The only two things I don't like very much of the product is 1. the "Modes" are just exactly that. "Entertainment mode" truly makes music sound incredible, but deactivates some gaming features, and "Gaming mode" reactivates all those, but music doesn't sound as well. Switching back and forth isn't my idea of fun. 2. It's Creative. I'm probably one of the most anti-Creative people around since I can't agree with most of their business decisions, but sadly, they have way to many sound patents that won't allow the competition to rise. Although I still hate them, it's just that sadly it's the best product around.

Overall I'm very impressed with the card.



2 out of 5 stars Probably a fine card but didn't fit my small PC   September 5, 2008
 2 out of 9 found this review helpful

I purchased this card after having carefully reviewed the specifications. My PC has a PCI express card x16 slot and this card reportedly works with all x1, x4, and x16 card slots. Imagine the horror when I opened this card and found it about an inch too tall for my PC and an inch taller than the other PCI express cards already installed. I guess I'm glad I bought this from Amazon as they seem to do well on returns. Creative really should have specified that this was a full height card and was not suitable for low-profile applications. I guess I'll buy the Xonar DX now.
