SINGAPORE – May 16, 2008 – Creative Technology Ltd., a worldwide leader in digital entertainment solutions, today announced the PCI Express Creative Sound Blaster® X-Fi® Titanium Fatal1ty Professional Series and PCI Express Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion Series sound cards, unleashing the full power of Creative X-Fi hardware audio processing for PCI Express-based PCs.
The new PCI Express Creative sound cards each feature a striking design that screams “high performance.” Creative will equip the world’s best professional PC gamers, who are now competing in the Championship Gaming Series (CGS), with the new PCI Express Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional Series, the official sound card of the CGS, the only worldwide professional video gaming league.
“Audio plays a huge factor in professional gaming, where every competitive advantage can make the difference between winning and losing. The Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty edition sound cards significantly enhance any professional gaming rig, enabling us to hear what we can’t see and perform at our highest level,” said Johnathan “Fatal1ty” Wendel, world champion gaming legend and exclusive on-air analyst for the CGS.
“I demand extreme performance from my PC, and I won’t settle for less than Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi. It gives me the huge advantage of hearing my opponent before they can see me, and finishing them off before they can do anything about it,” said Yazan “Clown” Ammari, Counter-Strike Source member of the San Francisco Optx CGS team.
“We’ve developed the PCI Express models of our Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi gaming sound cards to meet the specific requests that we’ve received from end users,” said Steve Erickson, VP and GM of audio and VLSI for Creative. “We have re-architected our X-Fi processor so we can deliver even more performance and provide the best audio available on the PC today. You’ll know why it’s worth the upgrade to PCI Express the second you hear it. We’ve also added Dolby Digital encoding, for connection to a home theater system for an awesome gaming experience. We created an entirely new I/O drive with an innovative design that can fit either a 3 ½” or 5 ¼” drive bay. Plus, the Creative Sound Blaster Titanium series cards are optimized for Windows Vista with UAA-compliant hardware.”
Priced at S$219.00, the PCI Express Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional Series features Dolby Digital encoding, for single-cable connection to home theater systems. The card leverages the power of the X-Fi processor optimized for PCI Express to deliver accelerated audio for improved game performance, with ultra-realistic EAX 5.0 effects and 3D positional audio. Hardware-powered 3D positional audio and EAX 5.0 effects provide stunning positional audio realism over headphones and speakers, for a much more immersive gaming experience than any motherboard audio solution can offer. The Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional Series also vastly improves voice chat clarity in online games where collaboration is vital.
“With its superb audio fidelity, EAX 5.0 support, and 128 hardware-accelerated voices, the Sound Blaster X-Fi is simply the best way to experience the rich soundscape of Guild Wars. Gamers who really care about how their PCs sound should give it a serious listen,” said James Boer, ArenaNet audio programmer and Game Audio Programming author.
