The difference in the two models is simply the software. The Gamer has three different modes being Gaming, Entertainment, and Creativity while the X.Audio seems to have one for XP with the sound mixer(Creativity) and the Entertainment seen in Vista(Volume, bass, and tremble controls). On a new build here I ran both on both versions of Windows

You missed the point I was making altogether there. Both cards look identical and the X-FI models lack the line in jack commonly seen on the older lineup of cards. The problems seen with both models is software related mainly due to the way Creative has their support site seeing a Vista update when selecting XP as the OS.
