Hello, I've been reading some forums regarding onboard vs. add-in sound card because I've found out that whenever I disable the built-in SC and play DiRT Colin Mcrae, my FPS becomes smooth and increased slightly. But when I enable it the game seems to be stuttering or lagging. So the sound seems to be the problem. I need some advice whether should I buy a branded sound card or stick with the built-in, does it help if I change the sound card to remove the lag problem of the game? And DiRT recommends Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Sound Card says in the box. Please Help?
