I'm sure this "X Mystique" branded card is/will not be the only one to end up using this chipset, so I thought it woudl be suitable to start a thread dedicated to all cards using this chipset. So please contribute with other comments, brands, reviews and prices to this thread.
I am sorely tempted to run out and get one even though I just got my Envy24 Chaintech pci card and very happy with that. The idea of gettign digital out with 3d sound to my cinema amp for pc games is a very very nice prosepct.
I have only found two USA retailers that have the card, newegg and xoxide. Both at the $100 mark.
