    Hey chans,See On board audio has moved into modules,then cards and now comes with X-Fi.Get yourself a one.:D
    Are you making fun of me? well Zex that doesn't have a true CA20K1 chip in it.....Again its on par with Supreme FX I II.....They have moved the chipset to a riser to reduce the noise....Thats all.........Its still "Onboard" with a fancy shape and slightly better audio quality.

    Powered by creative can mean lots of things. Asus using their software,Chip etc.....EAX 4.0 is software based.Im 100% Sure....wait till more information comes out! Im pretty sure that its using a CA0106.

    OMG will this end up as a war:lol:

    EDIT=Think of it as a Xtreme Audio with very slight drop in quality.

    Hmm,As I thought.I'm sure they haven't replied to Creative when they said that SupremeFX II has software based EAX3/4/5 and this is their reply.Adopting rivals technology thus silencing them :P :D :D :D

    Asus doesn't have "Creative"'s EAX. They market it as EAX 5.0 but they use a different engine.They call it DS3D GX. Which is dependent on the Hosts CPU.I personally doubt that that technology performs on par with EAX.

    We passed Creative's response over to Asus, which responded in detail explaining how the Xonar deals with DirectSound 3D audio and EAX. Both are handled by a new version 2.0 of Asus' DirectSound 3D Game Extensions (DS3D GX) primed to support 128 voices with enhanced reverb effects for "most" DirectSound 3D games, including those that take advantage of EAX 5.0. DS3D GX works by intercepting DirectSound 3D and EAX calls generated by games and redirecting them to Asus' own audio processing engine, which then attempts to mimic the intended effects.

    I still have 2 Zex......

    EAX is their technology. EAX 2 has been given out i guess as lots of other brands have built in EAX 2 in them...EAX 3=Advance HD and above is still theirs i guess......IMH.....

    Xonar is based on a chipset.The host's CPU aids it! For heavy EAX processing, native processing is required! Which the creative chips have and the rest of the market doesn't.
