kittyIs there any real benefit to using a separate sound card instead of using the motherboard's inbuilt one? I've an admittedly ancient xonar dg and there is no real difference between the sound module settings in benchmarks.
you'd use one for 2 reasons, higher audio quality or the chip on your mb broke
actually you have drivers for the card which may not be compatible with the games you play (if you use uni xonar ones like me), but speaking strictly of fps, it's the same
