How many FPS does EAX take away?

[legacy-fiLa]

with a sblive card like audigy2 you even get more fps (after tomshardware) im not sure if it is true

[legacy-kaTaToNiC aGonY]

I have seen benchmarks where the Audigy 2 ZS made best results.

This card has the best performance and needed the lowest amount of CPU cycles.

Go for it !

Die, onboard-sound, Die !

All it took was 7.5 Million Years to work that out.... Let alone know the Question that its actually answering.

Right now I have a turtle beach catalina (big mistake) I lose about 10-15fps with eax. And I only get 40-30 fps to begin with. So lets say I get this sound card, will it make me have better preformance with EAX?

Let me rephrase it then.

EAX will not affect your framerate if you have a decent soundcard that handles all the processing properly. (I've checked this out by the way, I get no FPS change with or without EAX)

ok i`ll go with that

Anyway by judgeing your system specs,even a crappy sound card you wont lose that much fps if any at all

Wrong!!!

Depends how good quality the sound card is.

Crappy sounds cards(with eax support)can lose a great ammount of fps.

EAX significantly hurts FPS on alot of computers, but it really depends on the system. Try it out and see if you notice a differnce. If you don't, then the difference isn't significant enough to matter. ;P

Probably a problem with your soundcard. It sounds great for me.
