For more than 10 years i'm using my current Audigy 2 and i just can't do without it (i have another one just in case). And before that an Audigy 1 and before that a SB live. Ever since i started using PCs, this line of sound cards are a permanent component for my PC. The reason is mostly the software. I'm used to some specific setups and filters so i can't listen to music on my fancy PC speakers without them.
So i was wondering
-Do they still help in performance in games? Aren't they suppose to take the sound workload off the CPU?
-Is the sound quality of build in chips in modern motherboards as good (or better) than, say, an Audigy card of 2003?
-Is there a significant leap in sound quality between a 2003 Audigy card and a modern one (preferably from creative because of the software)? I know i will have to upgrade at some point because my next PC will probably lack an ancient PCI slot.
