blaster zx vs x99 pro onboard audio

gasolina · Jun 23, 2016

is there much of a difference between these 2 ? i main streaming games, watch movie, music, gaming with a logitech z906 mix with 2 acoustic energy ae101 for the front and 2 jbl control pro 3 for surround and 1 yamaha center. I just want to sell the the sound card since i want to sale some cash....

Probably z or zx. I may be biased so I'll let others chime in.

first find out which soundchip is on your MB. If you have the Realtek 1150 your good to go.

Yeah, ASUS X99 Pro uses ALC1150. It's a pretty capable chip specs wise. Though if you're a gamer, I'd still grab SB Z. I also have LAC1150 on my Sabertooth and I'd only use it as backup. I just love SB Z too much because of fine tuning of the sound via Crystalizer and Surround as well as superior microphone control and filtering so my rubbish english is clear when playing Natural Selection 2 where you have to communicate. A lot.

wait so you have the soundcard? why not test it out yourself and decide for yourself if the difference is worth it.

yes i have the ZX with my motherboard but i intend to sell it to buy a waterblock for the my new graphic card..........i haven't test and i'm so busy not at my computer for days so i need your help about this.
I see so i will keep it along with me then

Agreed. test it yourself. It would literally take seconds to switch between the two. hahaha too funny this.
