Hi all,Been thinking about upgrading my sound card to the Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Xtremegamer from my old Creative Audio 2 card that came shipped with my system.This may be a dumb question, but has anyone experienced a good performance boost in FS9 by getting a top-end soundcard?Unlike other games, it does not seam the FS9 has a big sound demand on the system so a powerful soundcard my not add much in terms of performance?By the way, Newegg.com has this card after rebate for $59 (reg 89.99), a good deal. :)

Unless you're having sound-related issues you've basically answered yourself regarding fs performance imho. Get the card for it's own sake if you like though - good value.regards,Markhttp://www.dreamfleet2000.com/a320/custbanner2.jpgPC Power Silencer 470/3.2HT/2048mb/ATI X1950pro/SB Audigy
