POLL: About how much does a sound card improve FPS

Well, the main reason i done this post, is to see if it would be worth it going from and Audigy 2 Value, to an X-FI Fat1lity Gamer Professional. All the reviews are perfect, all reporting at least 5 to 15 frames gained.

you disabled the onboard card? what do you use? a pci card?

yes, when i got my Audigy4 ( the nvidia ones are using quite some recources.. and i gues Albatron wasnt really interested in making it the best onboard solution around

)

so this means using a pci instead of the onboard card increases performance.
