Jacky60 10 Posted June 2, 2011 I'm currently using onboard sound with my Gb ud5 x58 and the cpu has to do all the sound work. Would adding a sound card help fps by taking load off the cpu. I run xfired 6990's on an i7 920 at 4.2ghz so I'm a bit cpu limited. If a sound card would help should i get one with 64mb on board memory? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leon86 13 Posted June 2, 2011 nope, arma doesnt use hardware accelerated sounds, and if it did it wouldn't matter because they're probably in a separate thread (as in not in the render thread) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
