X-fi positioning with my K1000's is much better in Battlefield 2 when compared to my 0404. With the 0404, you really have 3 zones. Left, right, front/back. Front and back are sometimes hard to differentiate without visual cues. With the X-fi, you get pretty close to 360 sound coverage. Front and back are still kinda iffy, but you can easily tell the difference between them.
10 fps is really a lot if you run modern games at high settings. If you're getting an average of 70 fps, the game will often dip to 25 fps in high complexity scenes, which is where framerate really matters. If X-fi's XRAM gave you 10 more fps, it would be great. But, even software sound barely takes up any processing power, so the difference between hardware accelerated and XRAM is more likely to be less than 1-2 frames a second.
