Pros: Hello, I’m coming from a Audigy 2 and this card is much better. I’ve tried BF 2142 and I can say that this card definitely helped improve my frames per second. When a lot of explosions and heavy gunfire are going on around me, my system used to stutter and or bog down. Since installing this card, it’s helped to stop this. The sound is much better than my previous sound card. There are so many programs and options with this card that one could spend an entire week dorking through them. I don’t impress easily, but this card’s sound definitely impressed me. The added game performance was nice as well. Technical support hasn’t moved out of the USA yet. I was shocked to speak with a fellow American. That’s a rare commodity now a days. Tech support was good, courteous, and I didn’t have to wait more than five minutes to speak with somebody.
Cons: This card is very fussy. I didn’t do my research before purchasing this card. A fellow computer enthusiast that I respect recommended this card, hence I didn’t do any research. After putting this card in the PCI slot and firing up the computer, I was instantly alarmed at my graphical display upon booting into Windows XP. I could only use 4 bit color at a resolution of 800x600. After an hour of trying different things I called tech support. All that they worried about was if it was sharing an IRQ with another device and I told them that it wasn’t because I’ve already checked it. Since I was asked a lot of questions about all my hardware, software, and what device is on this IRQ etc, I felt as though I was only contributing to their data base. Tech support didn’t help me, but I must admit I didn’t try their online knowledge data base… The problem was in the BIOS. I had to adjust my “Video Card Aperture Size” to 256MB. Once I did that, the problem was solved.
Overall Review: I haven’t had the clipping that other people are reporting. I’ve read about games crashing to desktop once they are launched and I believe I know why. I was listening to some music to test the sound card. This card has three modes that you may use. If you’re not in “game mode,” it will case Battle Field games to crash to desktop, that is if they will launch at all. I wasn’t in “game mode” and this was causing the issue. Once I switched to game mode, problem solved.
