The Good:
Well is is a ASUS product one of the best names in my opinion. Also these cards r way better then a Creative card any day of the week. Also great driver support from ASUS themselves. I have had it for lust a little over a month now and it it doing good. Also this card makes my games sound much better then my older Creative card I had before I bought this. Also I did see a 1 or 2 FPS increase in games compared to the creative I had. Also the EQ is so easy to set up to your liking. So all in all (continued...)
The Squirrelly:
None to talk about at this time.
Pro Tip:
Don't forget to download the newest drivers for the card from ASUS website. It helps fix a few things with the software that comes with the card.
