Question about using soundcards

[PSYCHODAD]

I was wondering if anyone might know how much of a performance increase one might get when switching from onboard sound to a sound card.

Presently I use the onboard sound with my "MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR". It works great with very few issues,.....but, would the fps and performance be even better with a good pci sound card?
Any info would be great.

Thanks

Without question yes, a good pci soundcard blows onboard sound outta the water.

There is some performance to be realized by going to PCI. In my limited testing, performance increases are anywhere between 1 and 15 percent depending on the application.

Just installed an Audigy2 zs today. I must say it sounds extrordinary!

That's the main advantage of the newer soundcards like the Audigy2 ZS.....sound quality :)
