Sound Blaster Recon3D Fatal1ty Professional

[El3h]

Sound Blaster Recon3D Fatal1ty Professional was released yesterday in Japan only, just got mine today(slow delivery :< )
It's available only via creatives jp website and in limited numbers too.

Tested it out and the audio clarity is really good compared to my old asus xonar d2x.
It also comes with a new feature called "scout mode" which basically enhances the sound of footsteps at a distance so you can hear it more clearly!

Anyhow enjoy the pic and lets hope tomshardware will do a review when they get a copy 😀

Sounds like a internet problem, does it happen on all servers?

Any other games disconnect on you?

Many Many people are saying the same thing as me...... Every time they come out with new upgrades, things get worse rather then improved.

I only play BF3 online, so I dont know about other games.
I wish that my computer had a log of what was going on when
all of this happens, but its not the computer, its the server, so no mention is
made in any log.

Many blame PunkBuster and tons of blame to go around. I just lowered the
OC'ing on my i7 from 3.8 to 3.6 to see if that would make any difference.
And to think that "sound" was my main concern !!! LOL belly laugh !!!

I will just keep reading the forums on the BF3 sight and see what happens.
Now I dont know what to get for a birthday gift for myself as a new sound card
or headset for BF3 was all I had in mind. Oh well, at least I have my health !!!

I have seen Punkbuster do many things.

I see people cheating in games with it, no kick. Even have friends who i have physically seen do this.

I see people get kicked and even banned without cheating(No joke, had 2 system fully hardware banned, even balance says they are gods and to go buy a new systems as they will NEVER un-ban and PB can not false ban. This was many years back too). I read many reports that if your router blocks some of the pb communication, they will ban over it too(now days, its just a kick and at least you get a message about it).

Even had it crash computers in the past.

did you try to update sound card driver in windows driver manager to 20/2/2020, also download the latest software from creative website, there was aprofound improvment in the software and driver update.

Im thinking on upgrading to the Recon 3D but just the card...There's 3 versions out but all the card are the same..The difference in price from the pro series to the one i might get is just over a $100 bucks...Was wondering if its worth my while the card i have now is the fatality 1 extreme gamer pro series and i bought the Dolby Digital live DTS pack so im running Live now on a single coaxial cable and it sound outstanding...Im now wondering will the sound be that much of a change with what i have now...id hate to upgrade and find out theres no or hardly any difference...

 

[douglasw]

Creative has had nothing but crap drivers for the past decade. I wouldn't touch anything they make. Not to mention A3D, which is around 10 years old, is/was still better than anything Creative has come out with since they sued them out of existence and took their tech.

......Creatives drivers have changed big time in the past with all there X-Fi cards they have came out with Dolby Digital live DTS pack and the quality of sound have improved big time..I think bringing out the recon 3d cards will not make much of a difference.

i have the tactic 3d wrath wireless headphones too.. sucks i cant use the headphones with the soundcard because these headphones bang..
