Creative X-Fi TI vs. Creative X-Fi Elite Pro

[thxsubwoofers]

Anyone have experience with these sound cards? I'm looking for one sound card that will be used for gaming and music. The Elite pro is around 100 bucks more than the X-fi TI. I wanted to know whats the difference between these 2 cards.

No exp. but what kind of headphones/speakers are you going to be using, if ur using heapdhones I sugest this

http://www.astrogaming.com/products/detail/69/MixAmp/ with some nice heaphones will beat crappy 5.1 headsets anyday, and it does usb so theres no need for a sound card.

logitech g35 for headset and logitech z-5500 for speakers

I have not used either of those soundcards. However, I do use z-5500's and an HT Omega Striker sound card and I friggin love it. I dont think your gonna notice a huge difference between the two cards, but I could be wrong. Sound quality has to come from the source, aka the file you are playing. I have a couple opeth albums in dts and they sound amazing.
