Audigy 2 and Audigy gamer - whats the difference?

[XP Abuser]

i was looking at the audigy audio cards and (BTW i have an audigy 2) there is a gamer version could someone care to point out the diferences between the two. ive looked and cant find a thing is there different processors or just software what?

anyone???

 

[seeme]

hey matey. its good to be back and involved! ive been away for 3 months or so travelling!!!

my understanding of the differences are simply the software that comes bundled with it.

you get the same card, and its only the software or a bundled 'live drive' that differentiates between the products.

does that help?

[Henyman]

out if intrest what is the price diference?

 

[XP Abuser]

$129.99 for the audigy 2
$99.99 for the audigy gamer:huh:

you do the conversion henyman

but how do they justify the price difference like that

 

[Henyman]

i suspected there would be a price diference beetween them, there always seems 2 be a great price diference for the same/very similar product.

yeh and its the bloody same board

just an extra piece of software

audigy 2 = more range... sound effects...

audigy gamer is first gen audigy.. and if you are getting it for 99 dollars... that seems a bit steep... online you can get it for around 70-80 bucks..

audigy 2 = better deal and is also 6.1 channel ready vs 5.1 channel ready for audigy gamer...

what a nice price for the Audigy gamer I'll get one then.Ithought it costs $300

 

[XP Abuser]

oh rite so its not the same gen as audigy 2 ahhhhhhh

 

[Taurus]

yeah... "audigy gamer" = audigy 1 card... not 2

or else it would be called the "audigy 2 gamer". :blink:

Sazar is exactly right.
I've had a audigy gamer and i have a audigy 2 now.
The only good thing about the gamer was that i got
deus ex game of the year edition bundled with it.
Still have it, super game.
