If the card comes with the front I/O, then in my opinion the X-FI Titanium Fatal1ty takes this contest hands down. The X-FI Titanium Fatal1ty is marginally better to considerably better depending on the usage. If you are in to audio creation neither of them are that great yet the X-FI Titanium Fatal1ty does over take the onboard by a considerable margin. #SOUND BLASTER X FI TITANIUM SOUND CARD DRIVER#I have not checked to see if the onboard has an included ASIO driver or if it is any good. The X-FI Titanium Fatal1ty has a decent ASIO driver included. It also has some fast connect input ports and looks pretty nice. You also get access to some of the cards special features from the I/O panel allowing you to make changes on the fly without interfacing through a GUI. It has an auto sense feature and mic and speaker volume control. I also use the X-FI Titanium Fatal1ty front I/O panel for my microphone when on TS or Vent. As far as gaming, I find the X-FI Titanium Fatal1ty at an advantage over the onboard audio. The RIVE onboard sound is good so if you are just looking to listen to music and watch some movies you are good to go. I have SoundBlaster X-FI Titanium Fatal1ty and it performs very well. #SOUND BLASTER X FI TITANIUM SOUND CARD FULL#Creative Technology Ltd, a worldwide leader in digital entertainment solutions, today announced the PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional Series and PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion Series sound cards, unleashing the full power of Creative X-Fi hardware. It's up to you, hope that helps your decision. Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium the Official Sound Card of the Championship Gaming Series. #SOUND BLASTER X FI TITANIUM SOUND CARD UPGRADE#I might upgrade my speakers and pass these on to my brother or something and pick up the newer logitech THX 5.1's. I know the Pheobus will be the card that'll make my speakers shine again. If your using a poor 2.1 setup I wouldn't bother with a good soundcard unless you see yourself getting a good pair of speakers or headsets in the future.įor me, I'm still using an old pair of Logitech Z-680s 5.1 THX Certified which pumps out 500watts, the onboard sound is enough for now. I'd only say a good sound card is only as good as the speakers and or the headsets your using. Creative is also known for poor driver support, but will still work. Should be better than any Creative card for gaming and multimedia sound. I say the X-Fi card would be better for games and everything else compared to the onboard sound, but I'll stick to my onboard sound until the new ASUS Xonar Phoebus is out. The difference between the X-Fi cards vs the Recon3D is mainly 7.1 vs 5.1 and some weaker specs compared to the older X-Fi card, but however it does have a headphone amp on the new Recon3D card. Most people/retailers are trying to sell their X-Fi cards as the new Creative Recon3D sound cards are out. If it's for gaming and movies the onboard sound for the R4E is good enough for some/most, but I wouldn't put it on par with a top notch sound card. Depends on what you want out of your sound.
