Sound Card = 40% more FPS!!!

So if I run at 50FPS now, this sound card will boost it to 70. Gimmie a break. I call bullshit.

How ya doing, buddy?

Sound Blaster Live! 5.1

Got it like 2 years ago. $20. Works great and then some.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Which is why, for $15-20, a Sound Blaster Live! can do the trick just fine. Now, if you're into audio editing and the works, by all means get these premiere cards, but I think for listening to music and gaming, the boost that this really provides isn't much.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I think Merv is pointing out the fact that a bar of soap is better then onboard sound and that pointing out the obvious is rather rediculous.
