I just bought an Audigy last year

WTF, it hasn't even been out that long :|

Finally I get an Audigy and now they come out with the Audigy 2.

Then again it occurs to me the only reason I ever needed to upgrade past a sb isa 16 was the need for a pci sound card. :/

 

[StevenYoo]

damn, looks crazy.

 

[Flashram]

What a joke.

 

[fatbaby]

hype hype hype?

 

[tweakmm]

From what it looks like it will have true 24-bit sound. I'm definetly going to look into getting one

They come out with new video cards like every six months. Why is this different?

 

[pillage2001]

That's my next card.

 

[eliteorange]

is 6.1 that much better than 5.1?

 

[tweakmm]

106 dB of SNR is crazy for a consumer card:Q

For gamers like me that have 4 surgically implanted ears (for CS of course), this is vital to our fragging experience.

What's really different about the new Audigy? Their site says the first Audigy also has 24-bit sound.

From what I see, the best thing about the Audigy 2 is it'll drive down the price of the original Audigy Platinum so I can pick one up cheap.

 

[LongCoolMother]

agh, my audigy is old already?!!?!?!

 

[CKDragon]

WOW!!

Peter Gabriel looks OLD!

Hmm, the next time I rob the bank I'll save some cash for one of these and a set of Logitech Z-680s. THX-rated soundcard AND speakers, 6.1 Dolby EX and 106db realized through optical out 0wNz j00!

 

[FSUpaintball]

How much do the Z-680s cost?

 

[XMan]

I wonder if they got a volume discount on capacitors?

 

[EvilYoda]

Well one of the aspects that interested me the most, and hasn't been mentioned yet, is the claimed support for DVD-Audio discs.......that'd be one of the only reasons why I'd trade my GTXP for an Audigy 2.

 

[gopunk]

yea, lets all buy this so we can be #400 in line *just to download the drivers*

 

[Jgtdragon]

Not like it will sound a lot better. Most people can't tell a difference between old and new sound card.
