Gaming Mode
For Ultimate Gaming Performance and Maximum Realism
Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty delivers the fastest gaming performance ever!
A completely re-engineered game audio processing engine utilizing Creative X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity audio processor allows Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty to deliver the fastest gaming performance ever seen, providing more than a 15% performance boost over motherboard audio solutions while simultaneously delivering full audio effects!
Sound Blaster X-Fi - The first sound card with Xtreme Fidelity RAM.
 X-RAM allows developers to deliver even higher quality audio samples that can be loaded into dedicated audio RAM rather than system RAM, which would affect overall performance. In certain implementations it can further boost performance beyond the standard Sound Blaster X-Fi technology.
X-Fi CMSS-3D delivers the most realistic surround sound experience with headphones.
 Whether you use headphones or speakers you'll know exactly where your enemies are by utilizing advanced technology for amazing positional gaming audio. With headphones X-Fi CMSS-3D externalizes the audio by creating ten virtual speakers around you, above you and below you for an experience that's so real you'll forget you're wearing headphones. When using speakers X-Fi CMSS-3D uses virtual positions to place sounds anywhere around you, so your gaming audio is no longer restricted by the number or placement of your speakers. Now you can enjoy the most accurate gaming surround sound ever!
EAXR ADVANCED HD? 5.0 delivers the most realistic gaming audio ever!
 Sound Blaster X-Fi delivers the most life-like audio environments ever, and for the first time it can do so while providing maximum performance! Features like 128 voice support, EAX MacroFX, EAX PurePath & Environment FlexiFX set a new standard for EAX and realism available in game audio.
X-Fi 24-bit Crystalizer? automatically upgrades existing games to Xtreme Fidelity.
 Sound Blaster X-Fi converts all audio, in any bit depth, into 24-bit quality and then enhances it to make games sound more dynamic and realistic than you could ever imagine!
Entertainment Mode
For Xtreme Fidelity? Music and Movies
X-Fi 24-bit Crystalizer? enhances MP3s and movies to sound better than they do on their original CD or DVD.
Utilizing the Creative X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity audio processor your music and movie audio is sent through a two-step quality enhancement process. First the processor converts the audio into 24-bit/96kHz quality, then it enhances the parts of the audio stream that have been restricted/damaged during the compression stages to 16-bit and then to MP3. The result of these enhancements is music that sounds cleaner, smoother and has more sparkle, and movies that sound more realistic than ever before!
X-Fi CMSSR-3D allows you to upgrade your MP3 music and stereo movies into surround sound with headphones or multichannel speakers.
Enjoy your stereo MP3s and movies in surround sound with X-Fi CMSS-3D technology. The Creative X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity audio processor intelligently remixes the audio into surround sound to match the speaker system you have (including headphones). It also uses advanced techniques to extract specific audio elements, like voice to the center channel and ambience to the surrounding channels, so your music and movies sound more alive than ever before!
SuperRip? allows you to rip your CDs into Xtreme Fidelity quality
 Sound Blaster X-Fi uses the X-Fi 24-bit Crystalizer and X-Fi CMSS-3D features to "SuperRip" CD's to Xtreme Fidelity quality. You can now enjoy permanently enhanced music instead of low-quality MP3 files!
Enjoy the latest cinematic technologies for the ultimate PC movie experience!
Experience incredible audio with THX certified quality and unbeatable movie sound with DTS-ES? and DolbyR Digital EX decoding!
