![]() ![]() | I haven't been able to find much info on this, was wondering if anyone here knows what exactly they do? Some sites report a minor increase in FPS in games in gaming mode. Something weird happens in entertainment mode with me, the center speaker output is distorted and "tinny" soundling like an extremely low quality mp3 or something when I use the cmss3d options. So now I just switched to gaming mode and use the matrix switch on my logitech 5.1 system to upmix a mp3 to all channels. Man, audio stuff can be so confusing! |

Shamelessly ripped from here. Seems that game mode lets you go to town with eax and the x-ram. I saw some benchies and obviously it depends on what's going on hardware wise but you could be looking at 20% performance gain fps wise. Where are all the x-fi games!!!

| At-Whore | I noticed that with the X-Fi, that in some games EAX won't work when in Entertainment mode. I wish there was a way to have it switch on the fly.

| Apex Tech Maniac | another thing ive found is if you're playing css with teamspeak (don't know about other games), if your mic is connected to the flexijack on the front and you change maps it sets back to the rear one. Means you have to alt tabo ut ot set it back to get ts going again. I should really report it I suppose. Last edited by z0mbi3; 06-May-06 at 08:13 AM. |

yeah too bad they can't add something in so you can have it automatically switch to a mode when a program starts up. so i can have a list and choose which modes to change to when i start up, say, city of heroes or guild wars and then if i start up a media player it will switch back to entertainment mode and such. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
