I havn't been updated in the hardware for this year so I'm wondering what the best soundcards for gaming out there are and if there is any that are about to come as I'm not building my gamer rig until crysis gets released anyway. Reason for me getting the soundcard now is that the integrated sound on my mobo has been screwing up my voice communication so by getting a sound card I might be able to sort it.
I've been thinking of either getting a X-Fi extremegamer or a X-Fi fatal1ty series extremegamer, is the fatal1ty one worth the 64mb X-ram or am i just paying those 40$ to Fatal1ty for putting his name on it?
