ROG Asus thunderbolt audio/lan card not in stores

[andrewsn101]

Recently after placing my motherboard with an asus crosshair v formula-z, I wasn't able to use my dx xonar 5.1 pci legacy. After discovering that the motherboard is compatible with the thunderbolt audio/lan card, I wasn't able to find this card in stores anywhere. Not on ebay, amazon...

Is it worth getting this card, or should I just opt in for a creative xfi titanium?

I know of no such card and only got 1 hit got 1 hiot for it on google. Since I did not even find Asus's announcement of such a card I'll assume it doesn't exist.

I guess you're right.
It does exist but not in the sense that it's being produced anymore...

the card is only sold with a motherboard and is not available as a separate item.

for reference it was sold with the Crosshair V Formula board.

here it is on ASUS:
