Nog wat spul van 3D SoundSurge: een review van de Skywell Magic 3D geluidskaart met Vortex 1 chipset (da's een ouwe):
The Skywell Magic 3D Sound, like all Vortex based cards accelerates DirectSound, DirectSound3D and A3D APIs, relieving the CPU of some of those duties (A3D done mostly in software).The Skywell Magic 3D Sound sports a respectable signal to noise ratio of better than 87 dB (compared to better than 92 dB for the more expensive Turtle Beach Montego A3D Xstream and samples audio at up to 48 kHz. This difference in s/n ration is noticable at high volumes, but not a normal playing levels.
In the way of MIDI the card offers the typic vortex fare of up to 64 voice advanced wavetable synthesis (32 hardware + 32 hardware-accelerated software) with 4MB instrument samples stored in PC system RAM using dynamic caching to minimize RAM requirements for only the instruments being used. It also offers reverberation and chorus on the MIDI wavetable instruments.
Ze hebben bij 3DSoundsurge btw ook nog een review van de I/OMagic Magicwave PCI, tevens een soundcard met Vortex1.
