Gain the decisive edge with Sonic Radar Pro!Modern gaming is about more than just graphics. Precise audio positioning can give players the decisive edge. That's why the Strix Soar features Sonic Radar Pro, a proprietary ASUS technology that visualizes and enhances in-game sounds to give you the edge in FPS games.
Launch your favorite game and Sonic Radar Pro will display a "radar" that overlays your interface. This radar displays the actions that are taking place around your position in the game. You'll know exactly where you are and what's happening around you. Activatable options can view and enhance certain sounds such as footsteps, gunfire and calls. You can view sounds 360°, even when there is no clear line of sight. Invisibility of a target will no longer prevent you from seeing it, giving you an advantage over your opponents. What's more, Sonic Radar's position and appearance is fully customisable to fit in perfectly with all your games. |

I took this card as a replacement for a lower-end one, and it's excellent in terms of rendering, almost surpassing my Bose compagnon 2 speakers.
I've been using this card for a while now and it's a good choice for me.
The rest is perfect for the delivery.
I would not recommend a sound card, there are "sound effects" on some games (CS:GO for example) in the background, but silence is very important for a FPS, the product is expensive for its quality, and moreover it makes a ticking noise (three at startup and 2 at shutdown). It can work for games that don't require quality sound but in this case a sound card is useless.
Maybe my problems come from my configuration.
Coupled with Logitech Z906 speakers, the sound is very good, when the Strix Sonic Studio software lets me choose the options that should normally be present (5.1 / 4 / 7.1 / etc..).
Quality amplification, no breath noise even at very high volume in Windows.
However, the dedicated headphone jack suffers from crackling in my home... Nothing to report on the normal stereo jack.
I am currently satisfied with the sound card, the settings are easy to make, the quality is very good, I recommend it :D with a small studio microphone it's perfect, after that it depends also on certain software.
