Good card 10 out of 10
The sound is superb. I sometimes listen to music with it using good headphones. No problems with drivers and I don't think there will be any for a long time. Older cards have a real issue with drivers. Very good for gaming.

Well, I can’t say that audiophiles will like it since I don’t listen to music, but it’s great for games.
High frequency Low heat generation 7.1
I don’t recommend it for the average user because the difference can be noticed in certain games (in others it is also there but not noticeable and the overpayment is large)
use Creative Sound Blaster AE-7 less than month
