Is there any point in buying sound cards these days?

[Krosh]

I really don't see the point(other than older system not having a sound circuitry to begin with) because if the human ear can hear only x quality and the fact that motherboards are delivering all the features found in sound cards. What's the point and how does people Creative stay in business?

If you aren't recording with high quality components, among other things, there is no point in getting a dedicated sound card.
