Creative X-Fi 'Fatal1ty' FPS SoundBlaster: Rs. 8,500
Though onboard audio has emerged in a major way in the last few years, and has destroyed the lower-end audio card market, for games it just does not cut it. An external sound card like Creative’s X-FI 'Fatal1ty' runs circles around onboard audio. This new card is the successor to the Audigy 4 line of cards, which re-defined PC the way PC audio was treated by gamers. The X-FI in this case stands for Extreme fidelity, as its audio specifications are closer to higher–end prosumer cards. Its gaming support just keeps on growing and now supports EAX 5.0, 128 3D voices and 7.1 channel support. It also sports a comprehensive Dolby/DTS decoder, which is great as many other games are beginning to implement these audio positioning technologies. The card also sports 64 MB, which allows game developers, to directly process their audio data on the card itself and this results in drastically improved audio performance and better FPS for games.
The Creative X-Fi 'Fatal1ty' FPS SoundBlaster can be bought for Rs. 8,500.
Sennheiser PC160 Headphones with Mic: Rs. 4,300
Sound is such a vital part of the gaming experience and often does not get the treatment it deserves. A good pair of headphones can improve your gaming experience by huge margins. For gamers, good quality of sound means the crucial difference between crushing death and a headshot. One also has to keep in mind, the growing popularity of co-operative multiplayer games that support voice chat.
Keeping all the facts I have mentioned above, I have chosen Sennheiser here which is an established brand name for quality headphones. The Sennheiser PC160 is a headphone /mic combination, which offers, excellent audio quality. In a game, it really improves the sound stage to ultra-realistic levels. A rocket firing, the chatter of a machine gun, the in-game music—all of them come alive with this headset. The included mic is great for those in-game conversations and just adds to the pleasure of correctly positioned sound and the huge sounds cape that these headphones possess. Regrettably, these headphones are not officially available in India and can be purchased from ebay for as low as Rs. 4,300.
Me too looking for retailer in Hyderabad.
