Auzentech is broadening its assortment of X-Fi sound cards and its latest creation has some interesting angles. First of all it uses the PCI Express interface, which is of course a good thing since the number of PCI slots is diminishing fast. What makes it stand out though is the formfactor, Auzentech X-Fi Forte 7.1 is low-profile enabling its use in even the smallest of cases. The card is geared toward gamers and audiophiles looking to build a minimalistic system.
