I was looking over a few magazines I bought a few days ago and I noticed that most new games coming out don't reley on a sound card's hardware to make the sounds. In fact they said ir was the CPU, and software, among other things that was doing all the work and processing the sound. So my question is, what is the point in buying a 24bit sound card if nothing uses it. Most songs you play back, only play in 16 Bit so you would be perfectly fine with a standard Sound Blaster Live Card for $30. Some of the games mentioned were Doom3 and Half-Life 2. They said neither of them require a high-end sound card to get he full effect out of their games. Are high end sound cards becoming a thing of the past for a gamer. Reason I ask is cause I spent $200 on my Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum card, and so far none of the new games that are out, and that are coming out are using it, the way it was meant to be used.
