Is the integrated audio of Asus H97-Plus better than this sound card? Is the card worth installing at all?

I got a used sound card from my friend some time ago: http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Labs-SB0570-Blaster-Audigy/dp/B000EF3D64

I have an Asus H97-Plus motherboard with Realtek ALC887 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC featuring Crystal Sound 2. Since the sound card is relatively old, is it even worth installing or would I be better off with the integrated Relatek audio?

My 5.1 speakers work just fine right now but I'm uncertain whether I should install it or not. Would it benefit me in any way?

Thanks for the replies in advance.
