HI there.

Have a simple question.

?Does the performence of high end graphics cards decrease without a prober sound card?
In other words do you need a high end sound card to take full advantage of your high end graphic card.

Me and a friend have been debating this issue all night and need a settlement.

NO. You may get better gameplay from better speakers and sound card, but in frames/sec there would be no difference. A sound card only affects sound quality.

My firewall tastes like burning. :eek:

Most so called "high end" soundcards actually DECREASE your frame rates, because they require so much CPU power. But they do make the experience more enjoyable.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?
