Boomgames.com verblijdt ons met een review van de Aureal Vortex II SQ2500 geluidskaart met 4 speaker support en digitale S/PDIF interface. Als we de reviewer mogen geloven dan levert deze kaart een erg brute experience in games zoals Quake III Arena:
Playing Quake III Arena was a blast. This is something you should experience. If you already have a 3D audio card, disable A3D and play the game for a while. Now, play it with A3D. You should notice that A3D not only adds to the realism of the game, it helps you distinguish the location of opponents. Half-Life worked pretty much the same way, although HL has both A3D and EAX support.
