This card offers very good gaming performance from a sound standpoint. Shotgun blasts, rocket launcher explosions and sniper rifles sound as real as if you're in the middle of an honest to god battle. It's saved my butt a few times when someone would think they were being cute trying to sneak up behind me and I'd hear them creeping up on me just in time to spin around and blast them....
One thing I need to address about the X-Meridian is the analog output. The X-Meridian is capable of ungodly output, it puts out 5V RMS on the speaker outputs. This means that you don't have to crank the gain on your speakers to reach full volume. What this translates into is a cleaner signal since it's less likely that you'll be hearing electrically generated noise from your speakers....
