Counter-Strike: Source Beta audio performance explored
 

What can I say? Creative may not be popular among PC enthusiasts, but it's hard to deny the Audigy and Audigy2's prowess when it comes to hardware 3D audio acceleration, at least in the Counter-Strike: Source Beta. Then again, Creative doesn't have much competition when it comes to 3D audio. Hercules hasn't updated its sound card lineup for over a year and a half, and SoundStorm apparently won't reach beyond the aging nForce2 platform anytime soon
