Do people think gaming performance and framerates would take a hit if I ditched my SBL PCI card and moved to using the onboard 'Karajan Audio' (Realtek 850) on my DFI-SLI-DR?
The Realtek chipset supports DirectSound and EAX1/2 (and I think 5.1 through optical), so is there any other reason for me to be using my only free PCI slot in on my system, and not giving these 6800GT's more room to breath?
I know with cheapo onboard audios, the processing is taken over by the CPU, but to be perfectly honest, I'm not sure how much work my current Creative card does or passes to the CPU anyway...
Advice would be much appreciated,
S.
