Frames Per Second Boost with PCI Sound Card?

[kh_s]

Right now I am using an onboard sound which is Realtek Avance AC 97.

Will there be any significant FPS boost/performance boost by adding a new sound card?

I'm thinking about this one: 120 bucks.

Pros: Much better than onboard sound on Motherboard. The sound quality when playing Music CDs is incredible and the mixer software adds a nice ability to tailor the sound to your taste. I play Battlefield 2 and did notice an increase in frame rate after I installed the card, but I don't notice any GREAT increase in sound quality when playing the game. Yes, it does sound much better, but I am not noticing the tremendous increase in quality that other people have. However, I only have a 2.1 speaker setup, although it is very high quality. I have played with the settings in the driver software and in BF2 (hardware set to EAX, settings on Ultra High, etc) to ensure I have things setup correctly but I still don't notice a great increase in sound quality over the Mobo sound. Maybe you need 5.1 or 7.1 speaker setup to truly enjoy the superior sound?

Hey thanks for that link, I wish I could shop at newegg. But they only sell to American customers. I'm in Canada lol.

Now just gotta wait for my money to go into my pay pal account. :D

BTW, do you recommend any cheap high quality-bang for my buck speakers? I heard about Altec Lansing.

Man I can't wait till I buy some 5.1 speakers + this card and kick everyone's *** in Call of Duty!!! Muahahahahhahaha !~!!!

BD... ahahahhahah! Now thats some funny stuff. A little razzle dazzle.... spitzy set of speakers...


Logitech speakers are very good. Quite a few of trhe gamers out there probably still use their 5.1 speaker setup. I would guess that you could get them for pretty cheap nowdays.. They were a good price five years ago. Safe bet. read ll the gmers like yourself reviews too.

Altec Lansing are OK... I wouldn't buy them myself, but then i've read the spec sheets on bass and other compared to the big three. ( Creative, Logitech and the more expensive but superior Pro Media 5.1 's .. They list for about $340.00 now )

A sound card is better. here we go again. Keep getting this same post by someone else.. read same thing recently.. Audigy 2 ZS is just about as good. Same basic specs, and alot cheaper. (192 MHZ .. 24 bit EAX and all the rest. )
