It is as good as any but to reap the benefits from a quality sound card over onboard you need quality headset or speakers.

Im looking at the Corsair Vengeance 1300 or the Sennheiser PC 350
still curious on the cards additional power supply and the purpose for it as the other cards don’t need it?
and if im going to have huge driver problems from an older card (win 7 64)
