The Envy 24 chipset which the Revolution has is a good one, but it does offload a lot of it's processing to the CPU.
24/192 does sound great coming from it, but the audigy 2 fixed the audigy's upsampling problem and is a better alternative for games.
The verdict
If you play games - Audigy 2
Listen to music - Revolution
Also you can try that maya 7.1 card I believe is out for 59.99 at compusa. I believe that one uses the envy 24 chipset also.
My experience with the revolution before I sent it back.
Rear channel sucks for games. 3D API was inaccurate. Sound is extrelemy clear. Great for music.
Biggest con about the Revolution...only digital Coax out. Thus why I bought a fortissimo 3.
