Speedy 3D verrijkt het net met een review van de Terratec XLerate Pro. Yup, alwéér een Aureal Vortex II / A3D2.0 kaartje...
The sound quality in the two A3D 2.0 games that I tested was simply excellent to say the least. Half-life, which in my opinion is one of the BEST games to show off A3D 2.0, had superior sound via A3D 2.0. The new reflections engine is simply awe inspiring. Sounds coming from behind a wall around the corner, really sound like they are coming from behind the wall around the corner. This is something that the Sound Blaster Live! has trouble doing, even with version 2.0. Positional audio has also improved from A3D version 1.0. With four speakers... or even 2 speakers, sounds coming from behind, in-front, or beside you sound real, almost too real. Drakan is a perfect example of this.
